Second Life Song - I am… euh Wanna Be Avatar

February 28, 2008 1:11 am

An average day at Vint’s place:

Vint: ‘Mr. Feedreader, why did you not show me this earlier, useless piece of ****?!’
Feedreader: ‘Well, euh… I did not think you would be interested. Really. You did not feed me any feed that contains this. And euhm… you have no smart feed titled music.’
Vint: ‘Lame excuse. Really, you should have somehow known this was about Second Life.’
Feedreader: ‘But, I did not even know that it existed! There was no way I could know about this.’
Vint: ‘A big mouth now?! That’s it. No updates for you for a week! Not even important ones!’
Feedreader: ‘That’s not fair! Finding good stuff is not in my job description! I only filter information you tell me to filter!’
Vint: ‘Hush! Do I still hear you?’
Feedreader: ‘New blogpost from DesignMeltdown.
Vint: *ctrl+alt+del*

Did I really need to make such a fuss about missing a Second Life Parody of ‘I wanna be rockstar’ by Nickelback? Yep! Why so? Well, the lyrics are awesome and the singing is way better than I could ever do. But that’s not the main reason. Ever seen Mr. Foolish in-world? Always in a neat suit, looking all brushed up and resembling a 19th century aristocrat more than a virtual worlds pioneer? Well, I knew he could do many things. Probably almost everything there is to do in Virtual Worlds & Second Life. Excellent one-person sculptie sleeping bags amongst others. But I’d never, never, ever expected him to do this:

Just one question: What’s an ‘Elbow Room’?

Full lyrics and get the MP3 at Rezzable’s Avatar page.

Did I say LMPAO already? *sings ‘I’ll need a SexGen bed With every move - And enough sexballs To keep my groove - Gettin every X-cite bit That’s ever been made for me‘*

About “Elbow Room”: it’s a play on words. Many night clubs are called “The [fill in the blank] Room,” and “elbow room” is an idiom, I guess meaning “space to maneuver in or move past.” In the context of a name for a night club, it would also allude to the idiom “bend an elbow,” meaning “consume an alcoholic beverage.”

The Elbow Room apparently was a popular bar in the “early days” of SL (read, 2006). I have no personal knowledge (only 6 mos old myself) but there’s info here and here.

Thanks for linking to this, Vint. Very funny!

The elbow room was a bar in SL on a very very small plot of land. They would have pretty big groups of people always hanging out there and was the coolest place to be.

There is even an second cast episode (#24 crayon in my nose) where they interview the owner, Elex Dusk who can explain it better to you.
