Adam Cole-Kelly presents: Believe the Hyphen

I have a hyphenated last name that I've used as the basis for the name of my blog which in and of itself is a play on words. Clever's got a new home folks. Make yourselves comfortable.

Still planning on attending the rejection show tonight I hope. Good, I'm glad to hear nothing else has come up. Old Navy's latest commerical, which is the special brand of annoying that only their commercials can achieve, features a rip-off of Young MC's timeless hit Bust A Move. The Old Navy ad uses a watered down version of the beat and includes a rapped verse about their newest shitty product: tunics. Then when it comes time for the chorus the spokeswoman/awful rapper encourages us to "Bust A Tunic." Of all the songs out there to use for a tunic remake, you would think that they could find one that uses a closer rhyme for tunic than move. They don't even have the same number of syllables for cry pete. Wanna know a fun exercise to tickle the funny bone? Try to come up with other songs that would make equally if not crappier tunic remakes that Old Navy could have used instead of Bust a Move. Self amusement tends to be maximized if you hum or sing aloud the music to the original song and then just substitute tunic for some word or combination of words in the chorus of the original. For example instead of the "hey" song (you know, the one played at many a sporting event) do the whole musical build up and then instead of "hey!" think: deh deh deh deh deh "Tunic!" EMF's Unbelievable is also good.

Feel free to share your tunic creations.

Wish me luck tonight.

Don't go anywhere delightful weather.
