IDEAS TO OPEN WITH…
I have decided that i want to open with something comical, focusing on the light heartedness of ‘we could’ve been anything that we wanted to be’…. but we chose to do a drama degree. So i have explored writing material in the style of stand up… this follows:
Now im not saying you can’t sing and dance your way through life, cos you can, but actually im just saying that to be nice, because nobody wants to hear singing 24 hours of the day, can you imagine it your partner has cheated on you and all you can do is sing? Like ‘fuuuuck’ just doesn’t sound as aggressive or satisfying as just …fuck. What would you say to someone who has seriously upset you, or cheated? ….. right and you what would you say back….. and now sing it at eachother….
Now seriously all of you, go fuck yourselves. … no im kidding, but somebody said that to me once and the more I dwelled on what that really meant besides the physical action of fucking myself I thought do you know what, I took a drama degree at uni, so thankyou good sir but I have been doing a fine job at fucking myself over as it is I do not need you to direct me to do so. And you know, I just wanted to try that with you guys and see if you had the same thoughts…
So who’s graduating soon show of hands please…. Okay and how do you feel about that, in one word tell me what you feel about leaving…
These are just ideas and i will not incorporate this into my piece after exploring that it does not work. I want to be raw and honest to myself. I am a silly person, and im southern and everyone compares me to that of dick- Van dyke style when i’m out and about. So, this may be a rather risky thing to do but… i have written a funny song to accompany this soundtrack…
‘CURIOUS’- Funny Comedy Music – The Crazy Venezolano Soundtrack (2015)
My names jode the toad
I sing when im walkin down the road
Im always going with the flow
Steady as I go
Walking down the road
In me own world
No-one but me
Oh don’t the swans look lovely
The birds are nesting in the trees
Rustling the leaves
Whistling with me
Skippin along I feel me ead
Pigeon poo, but I don’t dread
I think that ill just laugh instead
Not a thing to dread
Poo is on me ead
I live in a world
In the unknown
I aint got a clue where im gonna go
Who would have known, Three years have flown
So I better go
Start me solo show
I will perform this in the comedy musical style that i was influenced by in the Bugsy Malone ‘Bad Guys’ song!
I want the aspect of not taking life seriously to be enveloped. I also like the idea of me starting very silly, happy-go-lucky and in my own world to contrast with my video and character personality change that will come later.
