The Lyrics
My mother always comments how the flashing strobe lights in dance clubs would effect epileptics. This got me wondering, what if everybody in the club had epilepsy and the resulting group convulsions became a trendy new dance?
[spoken]
Convulsing is very bad.
When you twist and shake like me, yo.
Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! No!
Epilepsy, epilepsy.
Stunned. Swear as your two buckled knees hit the floor.
Then your body funks out like a bandsaw.
Crazy whirling jiggles, writhing contours.
Might be a boogie or some quaint new Terpsichore.
Maybe cuz you heard that it's Carpet Court.
Or maybe cuz you heard it's a great way to score.
Trodden on ten times, you now wriggle in your gore.
You thrust, trying to move towards the ex't door.
Here come more people who do what you've done.
Homies tripping up, don't know how not to run.
Piling right on top, man, these dudes weigh a tonne.
All faint- start to wriggle like pleasured nuns.
Now like an attack every man is now stunned.
Guys are going down and shaking hands- mind the pun.
Half choking on tongues, spraying crap out their lungs.
This friggin whole crowd loves grounded fun.
Now everybody in here's got epilepsy.
Everybody in here's got epilepsy.
Now everybody in here's got epilepsy.
Everybody in here's got epilepsy.
Ooh, here come police with this gear to revive.
How they hooking up forty five of these guys?
Couples shaking past, crowd is surfing as they writhe.
Piled convulsing men like an NHL fight.
Ready for the twist? Well those cops join the pile.
Stiffer than a nun's Temptation Isle.
We rhumba and we shake from them flashing lights.
It's a craze now and I've got the copyrights.
Club 54 I'm emcee in my booth.
The whole ceiling has monster lights across the roof.
Want 'em super big so their blinking is huge.
And installed so damn bright they'll impede views.
Your eyes start jiggling, your dance changes moves.
Succussion in the place as these peeps find their groove.
Hey! This party is not vertical, goof.
So go down in twos, sluts, and let's all shudder too.
Now everybody in here's got epilepsy.
Everybody in here's got epilepsy.
Now everybody in here's got epilepsy.
Everybody in here's got epilepsy.
Gee, now we're on tour from Hawaii to Minsk.
Health aint mandatory, just faint after the light blinks.
Swiss wriggle, France faints, to the Finnish.
Niger shakes it and Oman stuns like a fish.
Rushed them all off, now the hospital's rich .
Seizures from grunge tunes, make this Burns Ward twitch.
Whole world dropping from this flashing oh-so quick.
Strobing through the night bright, blaring your optics.
No-one's alive on the floor Christmas Eve.
Dancers all dead, cataracts, mothers grieve.
Guess it's a lesson, stop LCDs.
Or just don't dance with your epilepsy!
Now everybody in here's got epilepsy.
Everybody in here's got epilepsy.
Now everybody in here's got epilepsy.
Everybody in here's got epilepsy.
Now everybody in here's got epilepsy.
Everybody in here's got epilepsy.
Now everybody in here's got epilepsy.
Everybody in here's got epilepsy.
Convulsing is very bad.
When you twist and shake like me, yo.
Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! No!
Epilepsy, epilepsy.

Love the original, love this!
DKTOS but this reminded me of one of my favorite stand up comedy jokes. (I don't remember where I heard it first and the following is a free translation from Swedish, though that's no guarantee that it's origin is). "I made love to a beautiful woman the other night, it was amazing, she really made me feel like a great lover when she had an orgasm that lasted for 10 minutes. yes, MINUTES!... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... the next morning she told me she had epilepsy!
Clever, orginal concept; incisive comment on the foolishness of fads.
A most imaginative theme...vividly descriptive
Thankyou all.
KNOW 1 CAN HEAR YOU DREAM: LOL! You might start a new trend in porno films!
Man, that handicam footage sure is amateur.
No, dude, it's just the latest Debbie Does Epilepsy.

Luke, by nationality you would know Steady Eddie - when he won a dance contest he told the judges "But I was just walking over to the bar for a drink" - a new dance based on chaos theory - great concept - 555
Sorry Stuart, never heard of Steady Eddie. I'm only 17, was he around before my time or I am I missing out on a great comedian?
Both the above, Luke. He made a stand-up routine based on his cerebral palsy and was everywhere here for a while. Audiences patronised him a bit but his lines were funny. 17?? You write some clever stuff for 17
Sounds great, a bit like Jimmy from South Park. "Wow! What a g-g-great audience." You want clever youth? Check out my ex-cyberfiancee here; her stuff was all at 15. http://www.amiright.com/parody/authors/emiloca.shtml

SOTM DKTOS Good read
Here's a site with loads of midis so you can hum along:
http:// www.starlightmks.com/music/midi/
Scroll down to 'Tipsy'.

(SOTM) Sorry DKTOS. Enjoyed the read just the same.
SOTM... unfortunately I once again, DKTOS... someone hit me already,...
DKOS, but well done.
(SOTM) DKTOS, Luke. Very different (and sick) idea--I have no qualms about that, but it seems to go a long way beyond the point of comphrensibility.
(SOTM) DKTOS, but I'm pretty sure you just predicted the next fad!
Tried to play the midi but the link didn't work. Still, great concept and if I know you, some extremely clever matches to the original. Very good, I'm sure of it.
SOTM--Luke...you and I need to talk about original song choices. I really want to vote on your work one of these days...=(
(SOTM) You're such a clever bloke Luke - I always get a laugh - and still try to check out Steady Eddie - word is he's on the short list for a season at the Rooty Hill RSL soon
this is a wacky tour de force!!! very weird! but so imaginative as the others said..
(SOTM) Cleverly YIKES-worthy!
"Dancers all dead, cataracts, mothers grieve"... Well your mother did warn them hey? 5's!
Stuart? Rooty Hill? ;-0
Stuart? Rooty Hill? ;-0
LMAO Peregrin!!! - of all the people to read that comment!
Rooty Hill is actually a very prominent suburb in Sydney, to the mirth of all Australians (duh...ROOTY!!! snigger snigger)
- and they have their very own famous RSL (Returned Servicemens' League) Club, which tend to be the social epicentre of those middle Aussie Sydney suburbs, and without which Gary Glitter, David Cassidy, Dr Hook, etc. would have disappeared totally from the music scene decades ago....

DNKOS...SOTM....great visual images :-)
Fave bits: "pleasured nuns" and, of course, "mind the pun." I had to stuff my wallet in my mouth while reading this.
Thanks Guy, Ash, Rick D, Agrimorfee, Melhi, Claude, Arwen, Stuart, Martha, Johnny D, Peregrin, Stuart (again) and Dee Range.
Spaff: I've heard of chewing up your finances, but stuffing a wallet in your mouth? I s'pose it tastes better than swallowing your tongue...

DKTOS, but clever hypothesis and excellent rhyming.
DKTOS, strong visuals though. Watch them anime trailers too, they can be murder.
(SOTM) DKTOS, but it seems to be up to your usual excellent standard! :-)
(SOTM) DKTOS, wonderful read, though.
Again what Paul said
Thanks again guys. I just realise I should have used the 'put yer money where yer mouth is' pun for Spaff's comment. Curses!
(ABC) As often, I hate the OS, but as always, I won't hold it against you. Well done, Luke!

Extra points for vividness
(ABC) DKTOS
(ABC-E) See above comments. Still DKTOS.
(ABC) See above
(ABC-E) I'm sorry, but I don't think epilepsy is funny.
(ABC) - already commented, three times in fact! - pleasured nuns, nun's Temptation Isle - you're 17 - how big a part (smirk) do nuns play in your fantasies exactly Luke?
Nun at all.

http://www.amiright.com/parody/2000s/linkinpark226.shtml
how many nuns does it take to change a lightbulb?
nun
nun
I'm still a bum, meaning I still DKTOS. I'm not sure I like what you've painted here Luke, but I like how you've painted it.
ABC--I think 2nz and I have the same CD collection, DKTOS. But funny!
