which TMBG song did Al parody?Bruce the Duck @ August 02, 2009 12:44 pm wrote: Okay, so the only two artists that have been speculated upon are Daft Punk and They Might Be Giants. He already did a TMBG style parody, so I'd think Daft Punk might be the more likely target. Great! I have no idea who Daft Punk is.
i should know this!

"Everything You Know is Wrong" is a TMBG style parody. Its title is lifted from their song "Everything Right is Wrong Again."
And Jeremy, Daft Punk is a techo band that makes repetitive songs about nothing. Their most famous song is "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" which was sampled in Kayne West's "Stronger."

I think we can reasonably rule out Daft Punk due to the lack of electronica heard in the sample. They do not use too many instruments but rather kinda like the Pet Shop Boys in the use of mainly keyboards, samples, and vocoders. Daft Punk also had a song called One More Time.

Wait a minute! Jon, on the first page of this topic you said that the song was described to you (by whoever your source is) as a completely original tune that was not a style parody of anything. So probably that's why Bermuda challenged you guys at AlFest to identify who it was a style parody of - because he knew nobody could possibly guess it. Also, when Jon said that the style had already been guessed in this forum, he was probably referring to you saying that it was not a style parody at all.
So it's most likely that your source was correct and this isn't a style parody at all!

Thanks, I never even thought of TMBG here but now it is becoming clear.weirdojace @ August 09, 2009 08:19 pm wrote: "Everything You Know is Wrong" is a TMBG style parody. Its title is lifted from their song "Everything Right is Wrong Again."
I am excited for this new Ringtone song. I hope it will be as catchy as Skipper Dan with some ringtone background music with different styles like Genius in France.
