If there's watch out!
Woo hoo hoo!
Woo hoo hoo!
That's what I heard. This has less melody and cohesion than parody songs that are deliberately tune-less.
I'm not exaggerating. I'm serious. Not joking. Example:
This is literally just a gay rant with music and it is more of a song than Russ's ode to Heidi Klum. I am just stunned.
He didn't just write this.
He made a video and released it. He thought it should be heard by others. He thought it would
flatter Heidi Klum. He thought this was fit to be heard as it was!
My brain is honestly melting right now. Out of everything he's done, this one truly stuns me. It's just.... how? How did he honestly go through the process of writing this, listening to it, deciding it was ready to record, recording it, listening to it again, and deciding all it needed was a shitty slideshow? He wanted people to hear it. He wanted the
world to hear it.
I haven't brought this up before, but one of the things that Russ's musical/wooing efforts reminds me of is this person from a documentary I saw called Mayor of the Sunset Strip. It's about Rodney Bingenheimer, a long-time rock and roll DJ and hanger-on who has been bouncing between various rock star entourages since the sixties and is this Los Angeles legend. In the movie about him, there's this guy called Ronald Wayne Vaughan who is this aspiring rock musician that Bingenheimer supported. He had this whole weird spaceman persona and specifically wrote this song about Jennifer Love Hewitt. I can't find a link to the song but I remember it sticking out to me not only because of how bizarre it was, but because of the lyrics being so trite. Something like, "I wanna date Jennifer Love Hewitt/She's pretty/And she's nice!"
Russ reminds me a lot of him. And until now, the songs were very similar. But this? Vaughan's song at least had a fucking tune. He could actually sing. And he was nowhere near this delusional. Holy shit.
