i've seen a trend in Flash animation around the web
that i've just realized is a sort of cultural recycling.
it might not be new to some of you but i'm sort of late to the
Flash appreciation party.
anyway, the way it goes is: take a song and listen to it, but
purposely "mishear" the lyrics. then make visual accompaniment
based on those new lyrics. perhaps i could coin the phrase
"noisy intertextuality" to describe this phenomenon. I remember
there being a type of poem with the same method - take a poem in
one language, and phonetically write a new poem with words in a
different language that sounds like the original. anyone remember
the name of this type of poetry?
hilarious flash examples:
http://www.rathergood.com/alf/ ( a "Destiny's Child video" )
http://www.verylowsodium.com/fanimutation/exuberance.php
(this one also has a conceptual resemblance to the All
Your Base phenomenon)
if anyone has more partcularly good examples, send 'em in.
