Son of W.A.Y. parody: Back To Heartland Works

  • Back To Heartland Works
    • Contrafactum of "Bad" by Michael Jackson
    • This contrafactum is to go over the time back in summer 2009 when I was caught napping and wandering around aimlessly at my janitorial temp job, then describe how Frank Young, my immediate manager at the time, threatened that if I did any of those things one more time, he'd "send my papers back to Heartland Works" and let me go. Therefore, I straightened up and did better as a temp employee until my contract ended.
    • Heartland Works, Inc. - WorkforceCenters.com
  • Music video ideas
    • A montage of pictures and possibly videos of a temp janitor not doing his job is to be shown in the music vid, along with a reprimand by the supervisor.
    • As budgets improve, an actor should be portrayed as the temp janitor who neglects his duties, sleeps on the breakroom couch, and wanders around aimlessly, while also singing the lyrics. Also, a black actor (Frank Young was black) should portray his supervisor discovering him napping in the breakroom, then giving him a reprimand / warning at his desk while singing these reprimands and warnings.
  • Lyric ideas
    • Replace the words "really, really bad" with "back to Heartland Works."
  • LYRICS:
    • (To be penned sometime.)

    • This song is to describe "Anthony Poppapimple," a fellow client I knew from our group therapy sessions at Horizons Mental Health in 2018.
    • He would get agitated easily and half of the time that I'd talk to him, like how I'd feel if I were to pop a pimple, therefore, his nickname became "Anthony Poppapimple." 
    • Tyler V., my case manager, also knows Anthony, but wouldn't share his last name.

    • A montage of pictures and possibly videos of anyone resembling Anthony Poppapimple is to be shown in the music vid.
