Rock Me, Amygdala

[filkertom]

So Steve Jackson, who is a very silly man, was apparently listening to And They Say I've Got Talent over the weekend.

And he started finding things that work with "Rock Me Amadeus".

And I was in a silly mood this morning. (Direct download here.)

Hee! Bonus track on your next album, too?

[scifantasy.livejournal.com]

(In case it wasn't clear, I think it's hilarious and brilliant on both your parts.)

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Nah. Just a quick freebie. :)

[scifantasy.livejournal.com]

It's great. The only thing I wished I could have heard was "Katamari" at a segment end, so there'd be a few "na na na na na naaa naaaa"s in the background, akin to the "llama llama" or "Oingo Boingo" ones. But then, I'm a big Katamari fan.

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

It was getting elaborate, and I didn't want to take too long. ("We record more before 9:00 am than most musicians record all day!") On the other hand, y'never know....

[scifantasy.livejournal.com]

Hey, that's what keeps idle dreams (that is, mine) where they are. No complaints, I was laughing too hard.

[scifantasy.livejournal.com]

This just popped into my head:

"It is a video game for the PS2
Where you're the Cosmos Prince, and what you have to do
Is roll up everything that you can see
Into a big star-replacing katamari!

Katamari, Katamari...(etc)
Roll me katamari!"

Augh! As if it's not bad enough half the music from that fershlugginer game is stuck in my head...!

[scifantasy.livejournal.com]

I guess I shouldn't post the rest of the words I've thought up, huh?

[jss]

No, you shouldn't POST THEM. That would be evil.

[scifantasy.livejournal.com]

Check my LJ.

[trdsf.livejournal.com]

Oh, they're gonna look at me funny at work today while I wander around singing that... one more version of that song, and we'll have to start calling you "Tom-adeus". :)

[ladysmith.livejournal.com]

And all I want to know I HOW DO I SAVE THAT????

My husband is going to fall over when he hears the Llama part. ;-}

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Hm. Hadn't thought of that -- TinyURL is lousy for direct download linkage. Okay, I'll put that up there as well.

[ladysmith.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!!

I saw this in the Daily Illuminator and said to myself "I have to make sure Tom sees this." Should'a known either you'd read it yourself, or someone would beat me to it. ^_^

Thank you for making me almost snort my morning coffee.

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Hey. Wait till Steve opens his e-mail....

[jacob-day.livejournal.com]

When you get silly moods, the world gets happy.

Rock me Tom!

[partiallyclips.livejournal.com]

LMAO

My morning was shaping up to be a drag. Thanks for sucking the suck out of it.

[eleri.livejournal.com]

heeeheeheeheee!

[ludzu-alus.livejournal.com]

That was a grand way to wake up! :) Thank you!

[ludzu-alus.livejournal.com]

Also, did you know that there's a Wikipedia entry on 'Rock Me Amadeus?' With a section on parodies? I think this'd fit right in... :)

[kightp.livejournal.com]

You two should not be allowed in the same room together, Tom. Heads could explode.

[dubheach.livejournal.com]

That was great Tom...thought I'd spew my caffeine when the llama, llama started.

[scifantasy.livejournal.com]

Well, it wouldn't shut up until I wrote it, so here's my reaction to this one...

Roll Me Katamari (http://scifantasy.livejournal.com/194359.html)

*worship*

[foenix.livejournal.com]

HA!

Oh, that's just great fun. Good stuff. =)

Thanks, Tom.

[foenix.livejournal.com]

Oh, and the best part for me would have to be the riff on the llama song. I didn't catch it at first, rewound the tune, and turned up the volume.

There was much laughter commencing.

[gpeefalt.livejournal.com]

That-was-awe-some, ke-mo-sa-be.

[ericcoleman]

Wrong ... SO wrong ... you are a bad bad man ...

Now I'm going to play it for my co-workers ... should make some brains melt ...

[unclelumpy.livejournal.com]

Uncle Lumpy, Uncle LUMPY... Uncle LUMPY
Uncle Lumpy, Uncle LUMPY... Uncle LUMPY
Uncle Lumpy, Uncle LUMPY...
Ugh, Ugh, Ugh, Uncle Lumpy

Holiday Special?

Whip stir, whip stir, whip whip stir?


Oh, wait...

[smallship1.livejournal.com]

This has been the best few minutes on LJ I have spent in a long time. vaxjedi, "elorie, and then just to ground me in the nicest possible way, this. Thank you. Please get someone you love to hug you on my behalf.

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

You are so welcome, Zander. :) Hey, you gonna make it back over to this side of the pond anytime soon? Or am I gonna have to come over there again? (Oh, yeah, lovely Britain, you, Talis, Chris Malme, GK, Phoenix, oh yeah, twist that arm....)

[sepdet.livejournal.com]

Heh.

The "llama llama" broke me halfway through.

[jss]

Bwahahaha.

[moose]

*SNORK*

[Rock me Oingo Boingo? ]

[indyellen.livejournal.com]

Awesome, Tom. I'm also a fan of the "llama llama". ;)

Didn't you once say that Barenaked Ladies "One Week" was the easiest/best song to filk to? I think you've beaten that record with "Amadeus" now, but I'm not sure. ;)

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Not sure, but both have to be in my Top Ten, along with "House of the Rising Sun", "Greensleeves", and, frighteningly enough, "My Unicorn Song", which turns out to have a nearly perfect generic melody and structure.

[peachtales.livejournal.com]

Yay! Very cool :)

[salkryn.livejournal.com]

ROFLMAO...Dear Mr. Smith, you have just made my evening.
