Silly Rabbit

Silly Rabbit
to the tune of 'Live Forever'
by Oasis




(fade in on Trix Rabbit in drag confronting kids in front of a minivan parked on the curb)

Hey, kids! I'm your friendly meter maid
And you underpaid.
You could pay me with some Trix.
Wait, kids. Don't give in to fear and doubt
When my ears pop out
God, I really need a fix.

The best breakfast that I've seen
Or'ngey or'nge and limey green
There is nothing I won't do
For you kids' wildberry blue
But you put me on the skids
You say Trix are just for kids
And I'm nothing but a silly Rabbit...

I said, Hey, kids!
I've been waiting in the park
Out here in the dark
For you guys to happen by
Wait kids! It's not creepy in the least
No need for police
...Give it here, and no one dies.

Now you run, oh that's just great
I will never eat at this rate.
You ask why I'm up in arms
It's revenge for Lucky Charms
Oh, I steal? Well you do too,
And plus I'm taller than you.
Why am I just the silly Rabbit?

(Scooby-Doo style chase around park as Rabbit tries all kinds of disguises to get the cereal from the kids, while the kids try to find a policeman)

Maybe I'm a cereal criminal
But it's gettin' dull
'cause I just wanna taste
Lately I've been pickin' up my checks
And no one suspects
That I might purchase a box.

Finally I get to try
Some new Trix that aren't a lie
Here we go, and not too soon
Chomping down on milk and spoon
What the hell, this tastes like shit
All these years, and this is it?
I don't want it now that I have it...
I'm such a silly rabbit...
Such a silly rabbit...
Such a silly rabbit...
Such a silly rabbit...
Such a silly rabbit...
Such a silly rabbit...

(final instrumental is police showing up as Rabbit destroys Trix display in anger, kids point him out in a lineup and Rabbit is carted off to jail where other cartoon cereal mascots are also imprisoned, including the Cookie Crisp Crook, Sonny the Cuckoo, Lucky, Barney Rubble and other enemies of breakfasting children everywhere. Close on shot of Rabbit in cell as meal is slid under the door...and it's a bowl of Trix.)

Where Is My Dog?

Challenge from Matt:
"1. The parody of Blumchen's 'Heut ist mein Tag': 'Where is my dog?'
We (you) kept thinking about doing this, but never accomplished it."

to the tune of "Heut' Ist Mein Tag"
by Blümchen



NOTE: Throughout this music video, the singer should continue to --on fast forward-- run around her house and neighborhood looking for her dog. The entire thing should be done very surrealistically, as if the woman lived in one of those little kids' books with cardboard flaps you can pull open to see inside the barn or behind the bushes or whatever. You know, the ones with titles like "Are You My Mother?" or "Hide And Go Seek Kittens" or...

Where Is My Dog?


(Whenever stage directions are unavailable, imagine the singer either looking at what is being sung about, or else envision her looking all over the place for her dog)

...Where is my dog?

Where is my dog? (dog? dog? dog? dog? dog? dog? dog? dog?)

Look, this one hops, eats flies and ribbits.
No, that is a frog.
This one oinks and breastfeeds piglets.
No that is a hog.
This one built Abe Lincoln's housing.
No, that is a log.
This one leads by rabble-rousing.
That's a demagogue!

Where is my dog?
Where is my dog?
Where is my dog? (Where is my dog?)

Where is my dog?
Where is my dog?
Where is my dog? (my dog! my dog!)

(Instrumental Break)
(Singer ransacks a neighbor's house)
(Singer digs through a dumpster)
(Singer interrupts a surgery to rummage around in the patient's chest cavity)
(Singer lifts her bangs and tries to search her own forehead)

Is he hiding in the laundry?
No, that is a skunk.
Is he there with Michel Gondry?
No, that is Daft Punk
Is he underneath this brick wall?
No, that is asphault.
Are those children playing kickball?
No, that's basketball!

Where is my dog?
Where is my dog?
Where is my dog?

(Singer --in close-up-- is using telescope)

Where is my dog?
Where is my dog?
Where is my dog? (my dog! my dog!)

(Singer --in time lapse-- lands on desert island and digs up beach under giant letter X, finds a tresuare chest, opens it, but inside are nothing but cats that escape)

Where is my dog?
Where is my dog?
Where is my dog? (Where is my dog?)

Where is my dog?
Where is my dog?
Where is my dog? (my dog! my dog!)

(Singer tries to do an all-animals Word Search)
(Singer searches a page from a Where's Waldo book)
(Singer tries in vain to pick her dog out of a lineup of six men in dog costumes)
(Singer looks under couch cushions in a department store)

Where is my do-o-o-o-o-og?
Where is my do-o-o-o-o-og?
Where is my dog? dog? dog? dog? dog? dog? dog? dog? dog?

(Instrumental Break)
(Singer reaches to bottom of box of cereal desperately)
(Singer flails wildly in Chuck E Cheese ballpit as frightened kids scatter)
(Singer stands at Missing Person's desk at police station and sings right in the officer's face)
(Singer appears on the TV show Finders Keepers)

Where is my dog?
Where is my dog?
Where is my dog? (Where is my dog?)

Where is my dog?
Where is my dog?
Where is my dog? (my dog! my dog!)

(Singer gets lost in Hall of Mirrors)
(Singer --holding her breath-- looks wildly around underwater ship wreckage)
(Singer dangles informant by collar over the edge of a skyscraper)
(Singer runs through five-star restaurant's kitchen, looking under pot lids)

Where is my dog?
Where is my dog?
Where is my dog? (Where is my dog?)

Where is my dog?
Where is my dog?
Where is my dog? (my dog! my dog!)

(Instrumental Break)
(Singer spends entire last Instrumental in a pound, flinging puppies wildly around, as they are not her dog)
(Pan back, to show this on a closed-circuit security camera, and the Singer's dog is watching the feed, whining, and at last line puts his head to the ground and puts his paws on top of his eyes)
