(spoiler) Stop Forwarding That Crap To Me

Post by Killingsworth »

This is reportedly the 12th and final track from Alpocalypse. Obviously, it is an original. It sounds like it could be a "big production song", but it doesn't sound at all like it could be a 10+minute Albuquerque-esque opus. What do you think?

I don't even know what to make of this title.

Possibly someone complaining about all of the stupid emails that people forward to everyone in their address book.
You know... "forward this email to 10 people in the next 2 days, and something good will come to you" OR "another way rapists are luring women in parking lots" ...that kind of crap.

I mean yeah obviously I get that part but... where do you go from there? All I can say is, I can't wait to find out. Al seems to be pretty good at writing last tracks.

This is probably a long shot, and a pure coincidence, but what if this is a parody of You Haven't Seen the Last of Me by Cher? I say this for 3 other reasons...

1) Not every album has ended with an original; both "Dare to be Stupid" and "Alapalooza" ended with a polka. A long shot, but it could happen.
2) It's called the big "power ballad" of the film "Burlesque", and the final song of Album 13 is supposedly a "big ballad" song.
3) It would fit into the "female artists" vibe that some are thinking might happen. (Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, and most likely Katy Perry.)

Did Al say this song would be a ballad? All I remember him saying is that there will be "lots of production on this thing."

he posted that Sept 2009, which means that one is probably one of the 2 songs he recorded in Jan 2010

Which means he was already working on it more than a year before 'Burlesque' was released.

A lot of the "crap" e-mails I get are very long, drawn out, stupid jokes. Or lists of stupid jokes.

I can imagine where Al just recites incredibly long e-mail messages over the verses. Of course, they'd be written by Al and expanded upon. This would be a lot like "Craigslist," how the verses in that song are basically the text of extreme Craigslist entries. I think this song will be along those lines.

Put this in the tracklist thread, but I'll put it here too: I'm predicting this is a parody of Don't Stand So Close To Me.
