Bob-Omb
While working on "The Super Epic Video Game Medley II: Championship Edition" I was trying to think of a good parody of Bruno Mars' "Grenade". There were a few parodies on YouTube already, but none really clicked with me comedically. MusicIAN Ben then suggested this one, and even gave me the first two lines of the chorus. I finished out the rhyme scheme for the next two lines, and then built from there. It was an idea we felt was too good NOT to do.
So good, in fact, that a music video just HAD to be made [Plus, if you're creative, you can re-arrange the letters in "Bruno Mars" to spell "Mario Bros". Kinda.] Since the original video is a few simple shots, making this video with absolutely NO BUDGET was actually fairly easy. Everything we used, we already had or borrowed from friends.
I'm thinking a Twitter campaign to get the attention of G4TV is in order. Please tweet the url of this song [or just the video] to @g4tv or @aots [or both] and let's see if we can get this thing viral!
If you liked that video, imagine what we could do WITH a budget! Maybe you'd like to help out with that by pre-ordering my upcoming CD/DVD Collection, "Grand Theft Audio" at the Kickstarter page for it. That'd be swell, thanks. We've hit our goal, so any extra we make now just goes to making thing look EVEN better, as well as getting the album pressed and printed!
