I'm torn between trying to get my colleagues in the Warsaw office to include CRUMPERS (Croatia, Romania, Ukraine, Montenegro, Poland, Estonia, Russia, Serbia) or GRUMBLERS (Georgia, Romania, Ukraine, Montenegro, Bosnia, Latvia, Estonia, Russia, Serbia) in their 2013 strategy plan.

An electronic device to reduce procrastination in the office. It attaches to the wall, and every half an hour (or less depending on the needs of your particular office) blares out a version of the Bee Gee's 'You Should Be Dancing', but with the lyrics changed to 'You Should Be Working'.

Start a moving company called Juicy Brutes. The theme song is just like Juicy Fruit - "Juicy Brutes, they're gonna move ya! Juicy Brutes, they get right to ya! Juicy Brutes, they're really really really gonna mooooove ya!". I would make the moving brutes wear shorts that say "JUICY" across the butt

Over the Christmas holidays I very nearly did this. MEPHISTOPHELES' SPORK: An extreme metal band revolving around the throwing of cutlery down various flights of steps whilst shouting "SATAAAAN". The idea was to do this about 12 times and record an album.

there is a faint but unmistakable note of pride in that post and it is unwarranted.

Jedward do a cover of 'Gangnam Style' called 'Jedward Style'.

I have been threatening a mash-up with 'Gang Bang' by Black Lace called 'Gang Bang Style'. I'll probably do it in a couple of years, when nobody remembers what 'Gangnam Style' even is.

emil.y, Friday, 4 January 2013 15:37 (eleven years ago) link

I'd get Jedward to do a cover of 'Agadoo', although I don't think they could manage the complexity of the dance.
