Ebony!

(prepare for good times!)

before you arrive in the land down under (so either in your last NY days or in San Fran),
i would like you to recreate the song australian iconic song 'down under' by Men at Work.
there are some options.

a) you've never even HEARD of it! in which case, here are the lyrics:

Down Under Traveling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,

"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said,

"I come from a land down under!
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty?"
And he said,

"Oh! Do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

i would like you to sing it - enthusiastically, without the knowing its tune, ie make your own! which would stem from all the sounds you know from being in new york (rap? haha). if you're feeling shy it may be sound recording with still images. but you are on your way to aus! so i wouldnt worry about making a fool of yourself.

or b) if you already know how the song goes, to make a film clip for the song - without any imagery from australia, purely what you imagine it to be when you listen to the song. can be collected images from NY, san fran, drawings, abstract imagery...what ever you see fit, all to make a motion picture though.

you should know the project im doing from you is humorous! and paired with this one will make for a very silly comparison of our homes.
can't wait to see you!
