Son of W.A.Y. parody: Still Paid The Same

  • Still Paid The Same
    • Parody of "Free Bird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd
    • This parody is going to go over how no matter whether a retail sales / logistics associate unpacks 10 boxes an hour or 50, they're still getting paid the same.
  • Music video ideas
    • Any footage of a store / shelf stocker processing boxes at a store, a warehouse, or on a truck, is to be used in the making of the music video.
  • Lyric ideas
    • Also post how being paid a commission for every box that gets processed would be more ideal for the employees.
  • LYRICS:

Son of W.A.Y. parody: Go Take Care of the Butter

  • Go Take Care of the Butter
  • Music video ideas:
    • Based on a true story, the music video should show a middle school-aged couple going past a supermarket employee while boyfriend pushes the cart girlfriend is riding in! Manager tells her to stop riding cart; she gets off. (That order may be part of the song.) 
    • Then employee asks manager in astonishment (perhaps while singing) how often this happens, and whether there's a truancy rule about kids being here without parents during school hours. Manager answers briefly, then tells employee to Go Take Care of the Butter. Then scene cuts to stocker dealing with lots of butter, which is on sale that day. 
    • (If the dialogues can't be made so they sing it to each other, an unseen voice can sing the relevant lyrics during that time, while their dialogue goes unheard - mouths moving while the viewer doesn't hear what they say.)
  • Lyric ideas:
    •  
  • LYRICS: 
    • Go Take Care Of The-e Bu-u-tter,
    • Its discount sale is making the customers aflutter,
    • Go Take Care Of The-e Bu-u-tter,
    • This sale is meant to move these tubs and sticks of the butter

    • Worker minded his/her/their own business
    • S/he was taking some cases apart
    • A teen's seen pushing his girlfriend in a cart
    • Then the manager thus intervened
    • S/he made her leave the shop trolley
    • That girlfriend felt a lil' demeaned

    • We must really stock all that butter
    • Since there's such a big sale, they will go really fast, s/he uttered.
    • So s/he must deal with all that butter
    • Or else their customers won't get enough of that butter

    • How often does this thing happen?
    • Where teens shop in pairs and get in carts?
    • During school hours, so they're truant, to start
    • The manager said that s/he dunno
    • But it doesn't matter now, so
    • Get back to what you were doing 

    • Unpack those cases of bu-u-tter
    • Go Take Care Of The-e Bu-u-tter,

    • Worker minded his/her/their own business
    • S/he was taking some cases apart
    • A teen's seen pushing his girlfriend in a cart
    • Then the manager thus intervened
    • S/he made her leave the shop trolley
    • That girlfriend felt a lil' demeaned

    • Unpack those cases of bu-u-tter
    • Go Take Care Of The-e Bu-u-tter,
    • Make sure to put 'way the bu-u-tter

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.
