Word Crimes

Holy smurf! I should have remembered that MC Grammar bit from So Random! I work at the darned Disney Channel, for crying out loud! Granted, that sketch was from a long time ago....

You work at the Disney Channel? Cool! What do you do?

I think there's a decent chance that the Jack Black video is "Word Crimes". But I still don't think Jack Black will be performing anything on the track itself. I hope I'm wrong though.

He tweeted though a pic of a sheet from the shoot he was part of, and it said "Fanny pack." That seems to fit much more with Handy than Word Crimes.

Yeah, I know. It's a decent chance, I wouldn't go so far as to say likely. But it's a decent chance. In the video for "Word Crimes" there are three women, and he cast three women for that same video with Black. Not a slam dunk by any means, but a possibility.

Anyway, every time I try to type "fannypack" I type it as a compound word, which my computer tells me is wrong. So, isn't that a "word crime?"

[Big Spoon]

I always end up typing "fannypack" as one word, too.

I'm post production manager for original series. Just a glorified office job, not as exciting as it sounds. But I do remember the MC Grammar videos (we did a couple of them) from So Random. They were okay for what they were (skits for 12 year olds), but the songs weren't anything you would want on your iPod. I think "Word Crimes" is going to actually take a song with cruddy lyrics and decently funky instrumentals and turn it into an actual good song. I get what you're saying about the subject matter being old hat, but it IS uncharted territory for Al. I bet he comes up with some fresh jokes.

The famous Three Women Theory.

I hate that I have to listen to Blurred Lines for this. >_< At least this means Word Crimes will be hella catchy.

You and me both. Fancy is getting a tad catchy on further listens but I still don't want to listen to Blurred Lines more than I have to. I have faith in Al to make the parody listenable!

Hypothesis. Not theory. Another "word crime" that is a pet peeve.

Seems to fit with Tacky more than Word Crimes
