 * If You Get a DUI







** Contrafactum #585 of "The Muffin Song" by TomSka feat. Schmoyoho.

Son Of WAY contrafactum: Just One

 * Big John




** Contrafactum #584 of "Big John by Jimmy Dean.
** This contrafactum is about how a grouchy old lady in her upper 50s to lower 60s is hiring JUST ONE employee at a convenience store in Junction City, Kansas in 2003 or 2004, when the singer was looking to work anywhere.
** I thought of when the manager told me "Just One" every now and again since that job search in the early-mid 2000s, and eventually, I thought of the tune to "Big John" when I thought of the phrase "Just One."
** The instrumentation needs to be altered to sound like popular music released in 2003 or 2004.

"Son Of WAY contrafactum #582: Archenland

 * Archenland









** Contrafactum 582 of "The Muffin Man" by (possibly) Ella Fitzgerald.
** This contrafactum is to sing all about the land of Archenland to the south of Narnia between Narnia and Calormen.
** When I was a kid reading the Narnia series of books, I thought of The Muffin Man song when I thought of Archenland.
** Since Narnia is a medieval fantasy setting, the instrumentation of The Muffin Man song can be changed to be played by Medieval-sounding instruments.

* Videos of the original tune

* Music video ideas
** There must be a slideshow and/or montage of all Archenland scenes and landmarks throughout the music vid.
** As Archenland is a fictional land, I can't conceive of how a better version of a music video would be made when budgets improve, unless it would be virtual dancers in front of computer renderings of Archenland landmarks.

* Lyric ideas
** All occurrences of "Muffin Man" must be replaced with "Archenland."

* LYRICS

** This contrafactum is about how Debra Webb, the senior Administrative Assistant of the Undergraduate Math Department at Kansas State University used to work at a pretty fast pace compared to other administrative assistants.
** When I looked inside the Undergraduate Math Department office while passing by their doorway in the halls of Cardwell Hall at K-State, I would see her move her hands in a frantic while she shuffled papers or arranged various kinds of paperwork, almost as if she was hurrying at gunpoint.
** The instrumentation should be changed to sound like a collegiate band's instrumentation, to make it as if K-State's band was playing this tune. In fact, if budgets improve, hire K-State's band to play and record this tune.

 That Is What People Sounded Like In 1983




** Contrafactum #574 of "Virginia Company" by Alan Menken & Steven Schwartz.
** This contrafactum is about how people sounded when they talked, yelled or cheered back in 1983.
** When I was at the Faith Tabernacle Apostolic Church in early 2003 in Junction City, KS, I heard a recording of Pastor Westberg preaching to a crowd in 1983. I was still a teen, so I asked a fellow church-goer immaturely, "That's what people sounded like in 1983?!" Then that church-going guy said "Uhh, yeah! That's what people sounded like in 1983!" At the same time, I thought of the "Virginia Company" song that was the theme of the beginning of Disney's "Pocahontas."
** Instrumentation notes - Have the instrumentation updated to sound like a song that was "made in 1983."

* Videos of the original tune
** YT link of the video that has sung lyrics: https://youtu.be/s0Sx6aMrBPQ
** YT link of the video that only plays the karaoke / instrumental version without sung lyrics: https://youtu.be/RBmME6dNiBo

* Music video ideas
** Show a montage of people talking, yelling and cheering in videos filmed in 1983.
** How the music vid should display itself after budgets improve: Show actors / actresses wearing 1983 fashion who talk, yell and cheer like it was 1983.

* Lyric ideas
** Notes of ideas of what to put in the lyrics: In place of "Virginia Company," all such occurrences should be replaced with "in 1983."
