Hopefully what I added doesn't take too much time to write...

Having top 40 radio on at work all day sometimes leads to me trying to come up with deliberately bad ideas for parody songs. Here are some of them:

Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" as "Flash Flood". Concept: a lament about all the damage that flash floods cause. Pro: It's a broad enough subject that you could write a whole song about it, and I guess it makes sense to have an angry song about floods. Con: Might end up being offensive to actual victims of floods unless you tried to add a serious message about the need for government aid or something.

OMI's "Cheerleader" as "Weed Dealer". Concept: Pretty self-explanatory. Pro: Stoners Are Funny. Also, I just like the idea of leaving "she is always there when I need her" in the refrain, because that is something you would probably want in both a romantic partner and a drug dealer, and because Weeds aside, pop-cultural depictions of female dealers are kind of rare. Con: Maybe it's too stereotypical to give a reggae-pop song a drug theme? I actually did start thinking of alternatives because of this - "Dream Theater"? "Mage Healer"? "Dear Leader"?

Meghan Trainor's "Dear Future Husband" as "Deer, Future Husband". Concept: A woman looks forward to marrying a deer, obviously. But more than that, I see it as a satire of the argument against gay marriage that says it'll lead to people marrying animals. Pro: Probably lots of room for puns, and I just find this idea stupidly hilarious. Con: Since the title drop would be pronounced exactly the same as the actual song's title, it would work better in print.

Wouldn't it be a song about Mary Jane?

Huh, that's an angle I didn't think of.

Not a parody concept, but while I'm talking about work and songs I hear too much while there: After hearing "Honey I'm Good" several times, my coworker came up with the Alternate Character Interpretation that the narrator is deliberately flirting with a woman for free drinks, then using monogamy as an excuse to leave. This interpretation kind of relies on thinking "I could have another, but I probably should not" implies that she already bought him a lot of drinks before he finally started refusing and protesting that he's married.

...I might very well end up trying to write that first one, Mike. Dunno.

@Brah, Pastry, Smartie, and everyone else: Dunno if opening the Fort tonight; gotta finish and send this fucking story draft first. Maybe around 11, i.e. the end of the current hour, it currently being 10:20 right now, i.e. about forty minutes from now. Or maybe before. Depends on how long it takes me to write this shit.

i care but i'm restless, i'm here but i'm really gone, i'm wrong and i'm sorry, baby

Finished story. Sent story.

Thinking about the ending, which talks, briefly, about a revolution that it started.

Suddenly realized "Oh shit, you know what would've been way more interesting and fun to write and, y'know, writable? A story about a kid who is in the middle of that fucking revolution."

Dammit.

...I finished a rather different story today, and also ended it in the perfect place for a follow-up.

There's a hitman lying in the street with his arms ripped off, sirens are closing in... It's perfect for a sequel!

The fact that only 140 characters are allowed here is honestly so disappointing to me.

Ok so. I just realized.

"Luck" comes from a root meaning "light", right?

Now think of the Aspect of Light in Homestuck.

...Hussie is the best at subtle symbolism.
