your terrible ideas

too bad, they are singularly terrible ideas

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.

i'm a dirtbag

doing all the things that were awesome before they became bad ideas

they were good at some point, right?

yam water!!

oh wait, totally did that

An album by Michael Bublé where he raps, titles 'Bublé Raps', and the cover is like The Pet Shop Boys 'Very', except it's actual bubble wrap.

A Pet Shop Boy's 'Very' era tribute band called 'Dunce to Disco'.

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.

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'?

Mashup of KRS-One's "My Philosophy" and Shania Twain's "That Don't Impress Me Much."

"So...you're a philosopher? THAT DON'T IMPRESS ME MUCH"

A UB40 tribute band called ES40.

hahaha

The Top 40 Tour with E40, UB 40, 40Glocc, 40Cal and 36 other bands i'm unwilling to take the time to look up

Jean Forte?

40 Ounces To Freedom is probably a Sublime cover band...

okay, props on jean forte. maybe we can do this terrible idea collaboratively?

40 Ounces To Freedom is probably a Sublime cover band...

I read this with a lower case "s" and I was like "why would you assume that?"

A Doctor Who rip off where everyone's favourite Time Lord is also a pimp. The show would be called 'Doctor Ho'.

Also the show could feature knock-of Daleks who have soprano saxophones instead of ray guns. Their catchphrase would be "SAXTERMINATE!!!"

a rapper named Drachma who raps about ancient Greece

A Joshua Ferris first reader/alphabet book called "Then We Came to the 'N'"

tea store called "Namastea"

That HAS to exist, many times over. It would not surprise me if it was a brand of tea, either!

Tea blend, wannabe tea store, and etsy store looks like. Real tea store, maybe not!

I thought for sure there would be some youtubes of people doing aerobic dance routines to "Mother Sky" but apparently not.

Whenever I hear "aerobics" I still remember my mom heading off to a class at the library in a leotard in the mid 80s

That's what I mean, only instead of Jane Fonda ppl are working out to Mother Sky.

my mum owned this and many others (yes including Jazzercise)

Mother Skyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I did Jane Fonda workout in gym class in gradeschool. It was fun! If there were better music, it would be fun today.
Welcome to my terrible idea.

Heh, there was a great women speaker series over the course of the last couple years touring through and my mom sighed a lot and said things about Jane Fonda maybe being a little ill-advised in the 70s. No conclusions on her fitness output, yet.

I don't think your idea counts as a terrible idea, LL. It sounds pretty great to me!

btw I do not quite believe in that Mother Sky breakdancing, LL. seems more like an aerobics jam, unlike Vitamin C

I don't think it's a terrible idea either, but it's my guess that most people would not want to do a 15 min aerobic dance routine. OR WOULD THEY?!

The breakdancing was just this noodly little kid -- there was no Can whatsoever. It was a red herring.

this all sounds a lot like the kraftwerk-out idea that there's a thread for

a rapper named Drachma who raps about ancient Greece

Debut album could be called "What's a Greek urn?".

The Popepoopmobile. Basically the same as a Popemobile, but with blacked out windows. Say that the Pope is out in the Popemobile, and suddenly needs to poop? No problem! Simply bring out the Popepoopmobile, reverse it so it's back to back with the Popemobile, and open the doors. The Pope can move from the Popemobile to the Popepoopmobile, which includes a toilet, do his business, then move back to the Popemobile and carry on waving to the crowds.

for rapper called Drachma, album name could also be Get ur Greek urn (or on, it's up to the artist)

A Middle Eastern 'Hunky Dory' era Bowie tribute act called Hummus Superior.

a joke whose punchline was "that's a whisk I'm willing to take!"

I've never made tamales before, so they may come out terrible, but that's a husk I'm willing to bake

I once had an idea -- one I thought was clever at the time -- to name a band "The Varieties" after William James' "The Varities of Religious Experience" (and as a nod to the name The Doors as tribute to "The Doors of Perception"). I think this was a genuinely terrible idea, and not just in a funny way.

A kickstarter project to fund a badly needed heart transplant called Kickstart My Heart

(lol)

Actually feeling this as a kickstarter satire idea, maybe as a video
