A Parody That Should Be Utlilized More

Posted by Peonycreme - 9 days ago


In 1940, a movie, "Road to Morocco" came out and with it came a song named after the titular...

https://youtu.be/53hGjaGpRkw?si=q6CkZaqKsyflhWE0


However, the song only garnered TWO PARODIES!


Family Guy: Road to Rhode Island


My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: We're Friendship Bound (Road to Friendship)


This is surprising given the song's comedic nature (and 4th wall breaks on top of that), I figured more media will utilize the song and spawn more parodies of it! But nope, it goes unnoticed by Hollywood and Burbank. *sighs*


So, now it's my turn! I am deciding whether or not I should include a parody of Road to Morocco in my upcoming Tankmen webseries. Well, maybe it will come when I start building the Tankpeople's society on Mars (I have decided that instead of counties and states; Mars will have regions and providences: The planet will be divivded up into 4 regions (2 in the northern hemisphere and 2 in the southern hemisphere) and within the regions are providences (I haven't decided how many yet). And while unlike Earth, the regions and providences won't have varying cultures, instead it's the standard Middle Eastern and South American cultures throughout the planet and there will be minor differences in each region (e.g., the region that the Dalah Tankmen are in (naming the military bases), they tend to eat more seafood as there's more beaches than other parts of Mars in that region (so, in the scenes where Skittles is having meals with his family, you'll see Martian marine life on their plates)). So, by then, I will decide which providence Tankpeople will be traveling to.


Secondly, if I do the parody, who will sing it? Well, each parody has two characters of the same gender singing the song so I have to retain that. Hmm.... Well, I have 4 candidates:

John and Steve (least likely choice as THE MAIN CHARACTERS don't sing the song in the parodies and plus if Tankmen does have a 4th wall break (which is what the song has), I highly doubt John and Steve are the ones to do it, it's just not in character)

(Forgot who drew this wonderful fanart but if remember who, I will credit you!!) Liutentant and Sargaent (they're the best candidates because they're more comedic compared to the other characters, so, a 4th wall break won't be too far fetched for them. Plus, it will put a whole new spin on the parody because I am keeping the motorcycle as their mode of travel (I just love it, it's SO PERFECT!!), I will also motify the motorcycle to contain a sidecar for Baby Mango (yes, I gave Liutentant a tankbaby, his name will be Mango). Don't worry, the sidecar will have maxiglass and a sidecar seat to protect Mango! So, yes, having them be on the motorcycle during the song sequence will be a whole new spin (and maybe I will have a pilot directly above them carrying their luggage))

These Two Tanklings (I have names for them, Snickers and Kiwi. And like Sarg and Liutentant, they are also likely candidates. But given they're clearly rowdy teenagers, I imagine like Road to Friendship, they'll take the song to a more upbeat, high tempo version of the song. And like Road to Rhode Island, there maybe a few verses about meeting "cute" female tanklings because well.... they're teenagers, they're naturally horny. My point is, these two baby boys may take this parody to an interesting place)


Any tankpeople! I don't have to give the song to already known tankpeople (though having a song between Daiquiri (the new private Ted will be mentoring in my webseries) and Jeremy (Paranoid Sniper) will just sound like two friends arguing (which will be another interesting approach), Cronie and Nightvision (They're part of Tankwoman's squad) will be hilarious because I will give them personalities and Nightvision is just emo so his parts will be needlessly dark and edgy and Cronie's parts will be lighthearted (here's a taste of what that will sound like, We're going to place where people chop their hands off for fun/How about the spa? (I suck at songwriting), and Orange Juice and Chesnut (these dorks: the pilot and the phone addict, it's my fan names for them) will be interesting because unlike the original and the parodies, they'll be in a military jet or space craft flying to another part of Mars or another planet), I can give it to two randoms ones.


Either way, I feel this song needs more love and I may parody it in my Tankmen webseries!
