Another Fan Report of Absolutely Accurate Truth from Kaydeecee
Scene 1: David Cook Fan Hide Out
Somewhere in the USA
Some David Cook fans are gathered in front of a giant flat screen TV, watching the newly-premiered video for Cook's single, "Light On."
Fan 1: This seems to be a lost episode of Friday Night Lights.
Fan 2: Ok, it's a song about journeying and leaving, and yet, no one's going anywhere.
Fan 3: Dammit, I can't see Andy.

Sparky! You live! and you sing!
But can you hit the high notes like Dave do?

For the Davideo
Prior to the "unfortunate incident," Sparky sent in his audition tape.

Tummy spliting laughs. Each line is funnier than the last. Great work!
Say, does anybody have good screen caps of the real vid from the iTunes version? This thing may need some illustrations.

Thanks, Junebug.
After totally mocking that damn thing, I SWEAR I did not run right out and buy it today when I saw it was up on iTunes.
No. I. Did Not.
OK, maybe I did. There might be something I missed!

Bumping this up for you. This kind of brilliance deserves the front page!

Eilonwy's:
*Fan 6: It's difficult, isn't it? But get used to it, as he's going to be very famous and popular and influential. The day's very near when appreciating DC's music will not be the badge of the cognoscenti. We're about to be a lot less special... but at least we were here first.*
I'm feeling this and afraid a fan sibling rivalry is about to spew from my posts. "New fan number 1743, may I see your immigration papers? From David-Cook.org? I'm sorry the quota has been filled."
Normanthecat's:
*Also, did anyone notice that the diner menu features a taquito special for $4.99?*
Until Kaydeecee pointed out this was a joke, (I didn't read the bottom as I thought it was a siggy) I went back to the video and did a lot of stop action. HA
Amaretto's:
*Wow, I got quoted in kdc's blog; what an honor.*
I know! It's like we got KDC's autograph and a hug at the meet & greet.
Excellent - but no video remake would be complete without the *new* lyrics - Try to hit the high notes like I do - It only seems right.
Oh, and I think we could fit in a dolphin performance somewhere in the background because I know they are dying to be reunited.
GIRAFFES!!!

you mean i can't disrobe?
shoot.

I laugh at myself while the tears roll down....
xofoxesxo: hey Cook did play a director himself in that Ford video . . . who knows what crazy ideas of his own he'll want to film in the future. He has some attractive material to work with in those guys.
KyrieR1012: people were taking it all a mite gravely. Do you recognize which of the mock bits in mine were *actual suggestions* from the fan video war?
cece: I am rather fond of that bouncy thing he does myself.

"We should now head back to the David Cook Fan Hideout. There is to be a brief service for Sparky the seagull. (Damn, we'll have to take that disclaimer about not hurting animals off our Davideo) Everyone hold up your ipod lighters, Minstel-please stop disrobing, and que the band. (Little Sparrow - only Metal)"
awww--you wrote the sequel!! Poor Sparky.
yiddidea: This is sort of the Michael Bay school of video making
Silver: ha ha, I've always wanted to make someone plode.

kaydeecee, your hilarious, bottom line !!
...Ok, now we need, like, a full on movie from you next, with full cooperation from David and the rest of the gang to play the parts ;] i think i would die laughing if that ever came to pass...lol XD
*if*...lol

Well KDC....you've done it again. I'm laughing hysterically.
I had made up my mind that I wasn't going to come here to DCO the day after anything major happened, because I tend to take this stuff too seriously, then I get upset, then I post stupid s*** I shouldn't say, and then piss people off. (I had suggested that fans 1-5 should go to Hollywood and make his next video. This I admit while hiding around the corner.) So thank you. Next time I feel my blood pressure beginning to rise, I will come back here and read this again. Then maybe I can be a semi-constructive part of the conversation.
A couple things here made me chuckle a little louder......
""I love Light On!!"
I hate Light On. I like his hair though.
The firsst single should have been a reprise of Little Sparrow. Only metal.
You're an IDIOT. shut up about the f***ing Sparrow, already.""
And.....
""Needs more truckers and missionaries!""
Now I have a suggestion......I think we should get Xavier to play David!!

I wasn't going to check this site today (I know, the horror! I'm not getting any work done!), but my willpower is non-existent. THANK GOODNESS I checked so I did not miss out on another of kaydeecee's gems. YOU ROCK!
Fav line: Damn, this vidsite s*cks--aggh it's autoplaying the next song. Sh*t, I got Hinder on me!" Are you in my head??? So frickin' hilarious! Can't wait for the next installment.
Oh, and since I did not add a comment to the video thread, I'll throw it in here -- Damn can that boy rock a guitar. Un - effin - believable. Seriously. Must go watch the video again immediately -- so much for work! ~ Courtney
You nailed us so completely!
One (of many) faves: the complexities of Mesopotamian geopolitics
We should now head back to the David Cook Fan Hideout. There is to be a brief service for Sparky the seagull. (Damn, we'll have to take that disclaimer about not hurting animals off our Davideo) Everyone hold up your ipod lighters, Minstel-please stop disrobing, and que the band. (Little Sparrow - only Metal)
"Stand-ins for the DAVID COOK BAND rock out silently with their instruments, then tackle each other and begin to rip each other's clothes off!
As the pre-recorded voice of David Cook hits the final glory note of "Light On," the field lights explode in a hurricane of glass and sparks! Fireworks go off, frying an unfortunate passing seagull."
Okay, I am CRYING with laughter after reading that part! You, kaydeecee, are BRILLIANT!

For the first time in one of these, I do not know which fan I am. I fear I may be all of them. Help me someone...

Longing for gold
Oh my, oh my, oh my. I felt good this morning but now my stomach and my cheeks hurt from laughing. This has to be the best fan site of anybodies in the whole world. And so much hotter. Kaydeecee, are you actually a comedic writer using pseudonymous initials? You're really somebody famous and funny and you're just slumming here with us, right?

"If we would all read her blog together responsively, while burning our iPhone "light on' application and disrobing, it would be.... so much hotter....."

As usual you are one hundred percent correct.*
You have halfway convinced me that there *is* a meaning to the video.
* Except that one time when you didn't want him to joke about blow jobs, and I totally did.

Gotta give you props, Kaydeecee... you're funnier than heck!! I just spewed my coffee.

"Rub some dirt on it, walk it off."
"Fan #3: Dammit, I can't see Andy

Me too! LOL
I actually saw myself in several of Fan #3's comments...which was kind of freaky. :S

normanthecat::cos π + i sin π::just kidding about the taquito thing
Consider me in the camp who couldn't care less about whether the video matched the storyline, featured the band enough, etc, etc, etc....until NOW that is. Because I would be willing to donate what's left of my savings to see that second video made...if you think $1.50 would help, that is.
Especially the tragic clown. Gotta love a tragic clown.
Love it, kaydeecee!

Totally irrational fan number π
Fan 6: The journeying and leaving is one level of meaning. Why is the journeying built around the theme of keeping the faith? Because this is a song about keeping a heart of flesh in a world that wants us to have hearts of stone.
Fan 7: But... but... but...
Fan 6: It's a classic literary theme.
Fan 7: But... but... but...
Fan 6: Take the girl as the heroine of the video. She chooses the one who truly loves her over the one who offers the glittering prizes.
Fan 7: But the song implies that it's too late to make any choices.
Fan 6: If that song were aimed at you, wouldn't you damned well find a way to choose?
Fan 7: Um... uh... don't I get any good lines?
Fan 6: No. It's my dialog. I get all the good lines.
Fan 7: I don't care -- I wanted a video about something else.
Fan 6: It wasn't aimed at us. It was aimed at the broader audience who doesn't know DC. We need to learn to share.
Fan 7: I don't want to share! He's mine, I tell you -- he's mine.
Fan 6: It's difficult, isn't it? But get used to it, as he's going to be very famous and popular and influential. The day's very near when appreciating DC's music will not be the badge of the cognoscenti. We're about to be a lot less special... but at least we were here first.
Kaydeecee, you have such a deliciously warped sense of humor. I want to be you when I grow up.

another in the unbroken string of KDCs greatest hits.

lol....

I laugh at myself while the tears roll down....
Nice, kaydeecee. My favorite part:
Fan 4: Cook looks delicious in that t-shirt, but nipple-hurting chilly. Layers, darling, layers.
Fan 5: Smacks you! Since when do we ask him to put on MORE clothes?

FolkFan: I think, ∴, I read the TWoP DCO thread.
I cracked up at "Dammit, I can't see Andy."
That was me.
