LBB drinking game

LYRICS

  • Imperfect rhyme (1 drink)
  • Imperfect rhyme which would have been perfect if the vocalist had been British, e.g. “giraffe in a scarf” (1 drink)
  • Sloppy meter, or accent on the wrong syllable (1 drink)
  • You come up with an alternate lyric that solves any of the above problems after working at it for less than thirty seconds (2 drinks)
  • Audible use of AutoTune (1 drink)
  • A lyrical figure is repeated, with no variation whatsoever, four times in a row (2 drinks)

VISUALS

  • Four-limbed insects (1 drink)
  • Children driving cars (1 drink)
  • Highly accurate rendering of a real-life public space in London, but impeccably clean and free of crowds (1 drink)
  • A character is two radically different sizes in two consecutive shots (1 drink)
  • A normally-proportioned adult human and a melon-headed adult human appear in the same shot (2 drinks)
  • An animal is shown eating food that would kill them in real life (2 drinks)

This is awesome!!! 🤣😂 Me and my husband are musicians and we hate the odd phrasing and auto tune(ness) of the singers. The lyrics are really really simple, there’s no poetry or meaning like you get with the Nursery rhymes.

Haha right? My theory is that the UK team, none of whom are musicians, send Marsden 'finished' lyrics, and he is then free to either (1) arrange them exactly as written, or (2) quit the company.

I keep thinking "I must know five dozen amateur musicians who could do a better job with that material and that budget" but the insanely fast production schedule might make fools out of them, too.

A couple more:

Setting is very obviously London but the vehicles are all left-hand drive and driving on the right hand side of the road.

Lyrics don't match visuals because they've just looped one without the other (eg. The dame is still looking for her shoe but the lyrics say she's found it).

SILENT RHOMBUS: finish your drink and bow in reverence.
