When I was in ninth grade, in TV Productions I, my friends and I had arrived in the room back after everyone had left (We had gone out to film...something, that day. In any case, kids often left that class twenty minutes before the bell, and the teacher didn't care). We still had our camera, of course. Anyway, the class room wasn't used very often; instead, the studio for the school's TV program was where we usually had our classes. This studio had a little set with a couch and two chairs that's mostly used for seating during class. In any case, sitting on this couch when we arrived back were two interesting items; a guitar, and a weird piece of chest battle armor made of duct tape and scrabble pieces.
Well, we were just goofing off, so we sat down, and I put on the armor and one of my friends starting strumming the guitar (He wasn't much of a player, but he could consistently strum, if not anything else). The other friend, holding the camera, started recording, and suddenly my friend with the guitar starts strumming and tells me to lay down a track (In those words too). So I started singing a song in a raspy, Louie Armstrong-esque voice, in beat with his guitar. The song was about the Easter Bunny, and I came up with the lyrics as I went along. The song went as follows:
"The Easter Bunny hides eggs all over the place
In your bush and in your mailbox
Eggs were meant to be in the fridge
But now they're not, because of the Easter Bunny
He messes up your....packages
The Easter Bunny's seven foot five!
And weighs 2000 pounds!
He's got a little pink nose, blue eyes, and whiskers!"
At that point we burst out laughing and cut the recording. To people who weren't there (IE: All but three people in the world), it probably isn't that funny, but god damn, at the time it was great, especially considering how it all came together. We ended up losing that original recording, but for a project that we started a few weeks later, we decided to rerecord it, and to expand on it, we made a fake set of news segments where people were outraged about the Easter Bunny doing these things. The first thing we did was put a cap on the song; just one extra line at the end, that went:
"But don't worry kids he's in prison today!"
Seemed fitting enough. For the news stories, we had a mailman, a prospector obsessed with eggs, and a guy who's dog was having seizures because of the song. This little interview showed an action shot of said dog having a seizure (Which was an old Wishbone stuffed animal, being flailed around. That Wishbone doll was in all of our recordings that year). Then we had the band who sang the song have a short interview, and for that we had generic British rocker voices that were barely intelligible. Even looking back, they were pretty funny. The best part of this story, though, is that, during the editing process in class one day, I went out to buy a soda at a nearby vending machine. Walking down the hall at that very same time, no lie, was the Easter Bunny, or rather, a guy dressed up as him (and the height of the costume was most definitely around 7'5). I ran back to class, but no one believed me when I said he was out there. That just sealed the deal on this whole thing being super memorable.
This song/interviews video got put on a school broadcast to a select few classrooms (TV Productions I was basically a year long tryout for the school's TV show). All broadcasts get saved for that TV show, so that leads me to believe that somewhere in the video archives, that video is still there. I've been severely tempted to ask the teacher/production leader to look for it, but honestly, I'd rather think it's still out there instead of asking for it and being told it's been deleted/tossed/whatever.
