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.

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.

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

i thought of yam beer when i steamed some yams and forgot the yam water was sitting on the stove for a couple days. the steamer insert was in the pot so it didn't look dirty. it smelled yeasty when i dumped it out.

Manilowtica: the songs of Barry Manilow, rearranged in the style of Metallica but prominently featuring the melodica. Prompted by recognizing fundamental conceptual links between ''I Write The Songs'' and ''Sad But True.'' Unfortunately I haven't thought of any other songs for them to do unless ''Mandy'' and ''Blackened'' can be made to work.

Doctor Casino, Sunday, 3 March 2013 22:28 (eleven years ago) link

It might be a bit of a stretch, but maybe Manilowtica could perform a live mash-up of 'At The Copa (Copacabana)' and 'Enter Sandman'?
