Collaboration Station

[Jeff Ross]

This thread is for collaborative purposes.

I’m thinking about what would make a good Aux Cable commercial…

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Hem…

[Awkward Potato]

Are we thinking Christmas themed, or something else?

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

I think Christmas themed would be a good idea.

[Poulet Frit]

A parody of oh Christmas tree…but it’s oh aux cable

[Awkward Potato]

So it’d be about why you should listen to the Aux Cable?

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Are we singing in this, though?

[Awkward Potato]

I mean, it is our commercial. We can do anything we want, as long as it’s recordable.

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

True.

[Jeff Ross]

I think we could have some singing, but I don’t know about an all-singing commercial. I guess it depends on what we come up with for a script.

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Agreed.

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

We would also probably need one person to sing the melody, and the rest of us can follow however if we’re recording audio individually.

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

(I’m going to leave temporarily, I need to do school.)

[Jeff Ross]

Oh, are you suggesting we take turns singing parts of the commercial? That would be interesting…

[Jeff Ross]

(Okay)

[Awkward Potato]

I think he meant if we tried to harmonize, but singing separate parts could work too. So if we do run with this, who’s writing the parody? All of us that want to or just one person?

[Jeff Ross]

“Oh Aux Cable, Oh, Aux Cable, How do we miss this podcast…”

Or

“Oh Aux Cable, Oh, Aux Cable, How lovely is this podcast…”

Or something else…

[Awkward Potato]

Hmm…I kinda like the second one. And then maybe something like, “it brings joy to our listening ears, we hope it lasts for years and years…”

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Yes, I meant that if we were singing, it might be a good idea to try to be in sync and in the same key.

[Jeff Ross]

That would be a good idea…we would probably need a “reference point” (such as a specific video clip of the song) to help us accomplish such a feat.

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Oh, or that.

[Jeff Ross]

Looking up “Oh, Christmas Tree” started me down a digression of German Christmas Carols. I’ll refocus and think of some more parody lyrics quickly…

[Jeff Ross]

Alright, here is a batch of verses to consider (the cool thing with this song is that it’s fairly easy to take the best parts and swap out the parts that don’t work so well, so any fix is pretty easy):

Oh Aux Cable, Oh, Aux Cable, How lovely is this podcast
Oh how your advice does abound
Wherever questions can be found
Oh Aux Cable, Oh, Aux Cable, How lovely is this podcast

Oh Aux Cable, Oh, Aux Cable, How we do miss this podcast
With lots of puns and inside jokes
Such fun for children and their folks
Oh Aux Cable, Oh, Aux Cable, How we do miss this podcast

Oh Aux Cable, Oh, Aux Cable, How internati’nal are you
One host doth hail from Canada
The other from America
Oh Aux Cable, Oh, Aux Cable, How internati’nal are you

I’m not sure how well this will work for a commercial, but it may help with idea generation station.

[DScott]

Is the plan to do this song as the commercial?

[Jeff Ross]

It’s one possibility, not a plan at this point.

[Jeff Ross]

Definitely open to additional ideas & suggestions…

[DScott]

I have an idea.
