Most Anticipated MF Parody

Post by JEDM »

I can't really decide; although I'm not familiar with Imagine Dragons. :|

Had a tough time choosing between Word Crimes and Inactive, but ultimately Word Crimes won out.

It seems a few of us are already decided. I picked "Word Crimes" as well. I'm curious to see how well Al can handle that type of original "subject matter".

This isn't even a contest based on titles. "Word Crimes" sounds like a winner right out of the gate.

I am definitely a grammar Nazi, so I have the feeling that I will really be able to identify with "Word Crimes."

I said Foil, not because of the subject matter, but rather the harmonies in the original that look forward to Al singing

Do we know FOR SURE that "Handy" is "Fancy" and "Tacky" is "Happy?" Those could easily be the other way around (and there's actually a better "fit" between original/parody that way.) I know we think the "Fancy" parody is first because he just recorded it, but he's also said he wants us to decide what the hits are, so maybe he decided to put a different parody first? I know that's unconventional and unlikely, but I just wanted to throw it out there.

Yep, that idea has been discussed elsewhere.

the vocals are actually another reason I'm looking forward to "Word Crimes"! Will Al be doing Robin Thicke's falsetto? Plus, there's all those interjections by Pharrell that could be funny. (I imagine the first line might be "Everybody shut up!")

Despite Word Crimes being my most anticipated parody, I wonder what my ranking of the parodies will be when the album comes out. I usually have a list of the parodies in my mind ranked from most excited, to least excited for, and rarely do they ever match up.
