Son of W.A.Y. parody: Stockin' Yogurt

  • Stockin' Yogurt
  • Music video ideas:
    • Music video must show a supermarket employee stocking shelves with any brand of yogurt. The rhythm of his arm while putting away the yogurt, rotating them (by expiration date) and etc. MUST match the music. 
    • Later on, facial expression and body language must be indicative of the tedious, monotonous nature of that low-wage job. Eventually the employee must appear to ponder what the hell he's doing with his life, and what better jobs he could work instead.
  • Lyric ideas:
    • Replace "Chickadee" with "Groceries"
    • Replace "Oriole" with "Chromeo" (a Canadian electro-funk duo)
    • (More to come)
  • LYRICS:
    • Stock a-stockity-stock, stock a-stockity-stock,
    • Stock a-stockity-stock, stock a-stockity-stock,
    • Stock a-stockity-stock, stock a-stockity-stock,
    • Stock, stock... stock, stock.

    • S/he stocks up the store shelves all shift long
    • Merchandise rotatin' into where they belong
    • Watchin' expiration dates like a hawk
    • Then the yogurt bottles get stocked, stocked, stocked

    • Stockin' Yogurt (stock, stock, stock)
    • Stock-stock-stockin' Yogurt (Stock... stockity-stock)
    • We're stockin' yogurt 'cause we really gotta stock it today (stock... stockity-stock)

    • This clerk was assigned the section "Groceries"
    • S/he must unpack cases in a hurry
    • There's a quota of a lot per hour
    • So s/he can start puttin' (a)'way that flour

    • Stockin' Yogurt (stock, stock, stock)
    • Stock-stock-stockin' Yogurt (Stock... stockity-stock)
    • We're stockin' yogurt 'cause we really gotta stock it today (stock... stockity-stock)

    • These tasks are repetitious and so mind-numbing
    • To bear the drudgery s/he started humming,
    • S/he'd rather just attend a comedy show,
    • Or listen to a duo named Chromeo

    • S/he stocks up the store shelves all shift long
    • Merchandise rotatin' into where they belong
    • Watchin' expiration dates like a hawk
    • Then the yogurt bottles get stocked, stocked, stocked

    • Stockin' Yogurt (stock, stock, stock)
    • Stock-stock-stockin' Yogurt (Stock... stockity-stock)
    • We're stockin' yogurt 'cause we really gotta stock it today (stock... stockity-stock)

    • Well, the end of the shift is slowly forthcoming
    • To bear the drudgery s/he started humming,
    • S/he'd rather just attend a comedy show,
    • Or listen to a duo named Chromeo

    • S/he stocks up the store shelves all shift long
    • Merchandise rotatin' into where they belong
    • Watchin' expiration dates like a hawk
    • Then the yogurt bottles get stocked, stocked, stocked

    • Stockin' Yogurt (stock, stock, stock)
    • Stock-stock-stockin' Yogurt (Stock... stockity-stock)
    • We're stockin' yogurt 'cause we really gotta stock it today (stock... stockity-stock)

    • Stock a-stockity-stock, stock a-stockity-stock,
    • Stock a-stockity-stock, stock a-stockity-stock,
    • Stock a-stockity-stock, stock a-stockity-stock,
    • Stock, stock... stock, stock.
