To f'n funny....

That song you mentioned sounds like "Polka-dot Undies" by Bowser and Blue. It never actually says anything it shouldn't, but it always sounds like it's going to. For example:

Well, I went for a drive in my... pickup truck.
I picked up my girlfriend 'cause I wanted to
Show her my gloves; 'cause she had on her mitts.
And I flushed brightly when she showed me her
Perfume that she buys whenever Avon calls,
So I took off my pants and I showed her my
Polka-dot undies! My polka-dot undies!

As a the guy over at Cold Fusion Movie Reviews mentioned once when he was reviewing a Japanese movie, sex comedy is a lot funnier when you don't actually show the sex. As C.S. Lewis also mentioned once in his Screwtape Letters, some people joke about sex as a means of focusing on sex, and others joke about sex because they want to crack jokes and sex is an easy target. I'm generally with the latter school when it comes to humor about sex.

nah. this song is MUCH funnier.
cadance: dump da-da, dump da-da, da da da dump


..... while the boys in the barnyard were shovling refuse
and litter from yesterdays hunt, while the girl in the barn was rubbing her eyes at the fellas as girls sometimes do,
to make it qite clear that she wanted to go for a nice pleasent strool on the grass
and hurry back home for a nice piece of icecream and cake that was three layers tall and after desert she was ready to go for another walk down by the dalk
wish any young man with a sizeable roll of 100's and big bulge up front,
and if he'd ask polotily she show him her little pet dog that was subject to fits,
and maybe she'd let him grab hold of her small tender hands
with a movement so quick, and she'd bend on over and suck on his soda
so sweetely till she finished it, and pull down her panties to rub in her hip
that she brused when she ran down the hall,...........................


and the last line: " if you think this is dirty, youre fucking well right!"

Doesn't sound all that subtle (or funny) to me. Stating the obvious at the end is an especially big turn-off. The Bowser and Blue piece I mentioned contrasts with that all the way, trusting the listener to fill in the blanks. The last stanza goes:

The moral of this story, like a jewel it is gleamin'
But you'll never find it in a glass of warm
Milk or tea, 'cause it will not fit
And you probably already think I am full of
Vague innuendos, and double-meanin' rhymes,
But I'll tell you that obscenity is all in your
Polka-dot undies! Your polka-dot undies!
Yeah, your edible undies! (etc.)

(Can't give you the cadence, but to give you an idea of how it sounds, I initially wondered if I wasn't hearing Bob Dylan playing under a pseudonym or something. It comes with a harmonica in the background and everything.) For that matter, even "Candy Wrapper" has distinction for managing to get denounced as obscene even though it never once used any filthy words or even pornographic language. (I happen to agree with the censors: it was obscene. But I still admire the cleverness of its writer.) If you use filthy language or mention "panties" "a big bulge up front" and other obvious devices by name, the illusion is ruined, and the humor along with it.

Well, it's your call. I just think you might be selling your audience's appreciation for subtlety a little short. I suspect that practically everyone on here probably knows enough about computers to get the jokes in "Log Into You." I just haven't found an anime that suits the piece.

[mudholestomper]

i doubt you ever will find an anime suitable for that song. i am half tempted to take various screenshots logo pics and the like to put to that song. could i draw worth a damn that also would be a decent option, as insinuated however, i cannot.
defaintly a back burner idea and way OT for this community IMO.

[Rorschach]

Yeah, you might be right... although I'm tempted to try Serial Experiments Lain. Probably would have to throw in some home-made stuff to make the joke work, though.

[mudholestomper]

probubly.
or, here's an idea; just use anime clips showing people at computer keyboards, then throw your logo's and would could be a zooms to the computer screenfor the picture to match the joke.
the whole thing would probubly seem rather stilted, but if that is the Style you stuck with, no one would really notice and would just chalk that up to artistic intent.
if you are Really good at editing & timming put a couple of scenes with the punchline graphic on the characters monitor in an unzoomed mode so the audance can see the characters reaction(s). again, this could all be done with stills to simplify things greatly.
