SONG FU

[thejasonalex1]

Love ya, contact me again.

[watermelon668]

Molly: so many happy songs have already how am i not going to rip at least one off!

Me: i dunno maybe like a song about mr t lol that would be funny

Molly: great idea

Me: 0.0

[karplefropx]

is song fu going to happen again anytime in the future? just wondering if anybody knew because all I can figure out from their website is that there isn't one going on right now, and the last one was over early 2010

[clotheslinepreaching]

Don't write and make me happy, or write a song about how happy I am when you don't write and post. There's your song.

[DaDuke2010]

Molly, OMG You are the best.

[theknockin]

lol funny

[IJVin]

It's long past, but my advice would've been to stop shooting and editing a freakout video and start at least trying to write a song.

[3Twinkiezandadumplin]

Freak out much?! And I know how you feel... APPLEJUICE SOLVES EVERYTHING!!! XP Lol!

[lamguin]

SQUEEE! Adorable!

[slimmarc68]

Your hot

[geordiegeorge1]

...you have the most adorable breakdowns (No. 1 in a series of "Things not to say on a first date")

[qwertydeluxe]

You're like if my friend J could sing and play the ukelele and was in college....

so you're cool :)

[XmusicmeisterX]

what up with the puppets?! that was so random. im glad i didnt have anything in my mouth. hahaha

[daveluellen]

SMOKE SOME WEED

[fayyadh92]

you are childish.... i like childish..... its funny...

[zaccuttie]

i like your hair :O

[TormentedByDemons]

At 1:15 I lost my mouthful of Doritos. Congratulations. :D

[ericfalkowski]

@TormentedByDemons homo

[kaileybrei]

you won!!!!!

[Futuredudeman]

Molly: I'm freaking out guys, what do I do about Song Fu?!

Oh gee, I don't know Molly. You could, let's say, win the entire competition or something. ^_^

[almalinda06]

ok... so i really liked you before i saw this...

NOW I LOVE YOU.

[BrYanwithaY1986]

I like your hair...

[Doomuser5]

Write a funny song about Obama/GWB/McCain/ or Sarah Palin!

[EgadAnAdage]

Pinkust, what's the point of putting nasty comments on people's videos whom you don't even know in real life. You are a Decepticon. Molly is incredibly talented and has a beautiful soul!

[pinkust]

u look like ugly betty ur gross lookin its so nasty im not watchin ur vids anymore

[Fabipunkinola]

I loved Paul and Storm's but your's is still better I must say :)

Molly olly and cheese FTW.

[joelcathey]

Also, your song is very, very great. Way to massacre the other contenders! :D

[joelcathey]

Love the cup....

[maniacsushichef]

LOL

[uglydawn]

Voted for you! ^-^

[Futuredudeman]

Molly Lewis - "I Pity The (Song) Fu"

54 FREAKIN' PERCENT OF VOTES

[KBCB05]

How do we vote for you?

[slavicpolymath]

"... rode into the sky on that thing from The Neverending Story."

Yes.

[JamieTricks]

I voted for you!!!

The results are looking quite good at the moment, as you have more than twice as many votes as anyone else...

Your song was brilliant, good luck with the rest of the competition...

[gljaxonpres]

I like your hair.

[WhenCowsFly5]

i'm guessing that the deadline wasn't "next tuesday"

[namlhots]

Will you be doing a song with happy lyrics and ironically unhappy melody, or vise-versa?

[geoffrioinns]

You talk really really fast.

[absentnormality]

I have the exact same reaction every time I have an essay due in... I suck.

You, luckily, rule and when you calm down will right a kick-ass song.

[VierasMarius]

Solution: Rip them ALL off!

[squishye]

waffles with peanut butter = my comfort food

[JamFish728]

A Happy Song About Illinois' Former Governor? Or would that be a "bad" good song?

(Sorry, I live in Chicago so I can't help making jokes)

[2ndself]

I agree with Casual Dave's comment earlier, rip off everything XD Make a point of it and use lots of cliche' happy thingimobabas! :3

[pseudocaveman]

Make it obnoxiously happy, whatever it is.

[rockerant2]

hahaha

[carmageddonstein]

Apple juice: comfort food?

[EricLobdell]

Hey Molly, you've already done this! Watch your Vlogging Molly: 2009 video. You talk about all the awesome things that happened to you in 2008. Take your inspiration from yourself and move from there.

[JenJenDucky]

lmfao

Need some apple juice D:<

[camediainc]

LOVE the puppet!

dad 1.0

[camediainc]

so I IM'd Hank to today to see if he had 'some time today when he wasn't jammed and stressed to talk' and he IM'd back "now is fine, I'm just writing a song."

does it make you want to smack him?

dad 1.0

ps one of my goals is to see you sing live!!!

[CasualDaveDotCom]

I say rip off as many songs as possible, obviously for a happy song, the sun/sunshine/sunrise is a must, as well as waking up and getting out of bed, just surround yourself with puppies and it will come you

[LittlRogue]

Let's not hit the sauce this early, dear!

[jenevastorme]

// there there

// there there

If it's any consolation, I love your t-shirt.

[hicosha]

its ok = ))

[abracefacetwoeyes]

count to 10...

[ReedieBop]

(1) make a list of things that make you happy

(2) pick a series of four or five chords that also make you happy; add lyrics.

(3) add a bridge with some sort of dorky, hey-na-na-na-na, everybody-sing-along part

(4) get ready for your first Song Fu EPIC WIN!

Simple as that, right?*

* Probably not. But it's a start...

[HighKingTurgon]

Molly, write a song about apple juice. I once wrote a sonnet out of boredom. and it was about concrete. And your writing is better than my writing. So take something seemingly mundane, and run with it.

[thespartanchannel]

hahahah,

i go to apple juice in times of stress too.

[joshua1234N]

Was that cup a High school musical cup??

[photosinensis]

Yes. Yes it was.

[jismith1989]

:D

Good luck, and don't resort to songwriting-enhancing drugs -- it's not worth it!

[wowzazaa]

"TROY WHAT AM I GONNA DO?!"

[f4r33st]

Wright a song in swedish, that would rock =)

[kirkmillerdotcom]

Settle down, calm your mind and remember you are the fun song master. I have all the confidence in the world that you will do just fine. (maybe it should be about the 10,00 people that think you're great!)

[Mi11ss]

you'll be fine! you always are! good luck!

[royalicecream]

i like your humor! :D

[antarius46]

Hehe you make me smile :)

[BlankJebus]

aw. poor molly. Once you start writing the song it will all fall into place, and you'll end up with an awesome song :D

just don't freak out too much and make sure you have plenty of apple juice :-p

[AcousticMonster]

Just think of rainbows, candy, and puppy dogs. That's what I do!

[Independentshisha]

you are cuter than me

[pdkirke]

Write a song about your puppets. Or your awesome shirt. Or both. Good luck, honey!

[TheJHam88]

Apple juice always helps, most of the time.

[sirthickman]

I mean I'm so happy I could shit fu

[sirthickman]

I'm so happy I could shit

[fuckpunkjocks]

well, happy to me is a subjective term. what are the parameters? does it have to happy in terms of the chords? or the lyrical content? both? neither?

either way, good luck.

[PennyDropper]

lol

[kaileybrei]

YAY! I will vote for you!

[Rememberthe0511]

You're the coolest. Try your best. Post it on here. We'll love it ether way.

[XxTheTimeHasComexX]

Your going to sit down

Write a song

And it will be epic

:]

[IsaacGambrelli]

TROY!?!?!

What is she going to do?!?!

YOu think with his musical genius and popularity with Teenage girls, and some boys, he could help with happy music, but no, he just sits there, and smiles, while apple juice coats his back..

thanks troy, thanks...

[bishop186]

Awesome shirt! I have that same one!

Anyway, you should write a song about freaking out - and how pressure makes you rise to the occasion. Write a song about future success and songwriting! :D

[doomymuffins]

Write about muffins!

[Afish244]

JOO CAN DOO EET!:D

Writing a happy song on a ukulele should be NO problem.

[Hortos1]

It's a tough one for sure but I hardly think turning to the apple juice is the answer. It'll just make the problem worse, trust me I've been there. Sure it's chock full of vitaminy goodness, fiber and phytonutrients however it's a truly insidious drink.

[annyosoum]

You go girl! Chug that apple juice and milk your musical mind some happy songs!

[CalicoCupcakes]

Molly, you will be fine... just start writing anything and everything, so you have a TON of material and then you can edit down... write a list of ideas for songs. I like the idea of a song about freaking out, everyone does sometimes, so make it funny! Road Trip is easily one of the most brilz songs ever, so I know you got the talent. You CAN DO IT!!

[phiZmusictalent]

you could write a happy song talking about how you were freaking out and now you've been accepted to this competition, and how people shouldn't, freak out... O.o

[epiphoney]

Maybe you can show them this video and get an extension.

[sorikku]

Sufferin' succotash.

Well, you're pretty creative, so gather up the saltines and swiss cheese, go to a seminar on physics and let the creative juices flow? O_o

[123brielle123]

i need some apple juice....

troy what am i gonna do

lol great

[MobileMediaProducts]

Based on that video, I'd say you haven't a chance of writing ANY SONG little lone a Happy Song. So good luck with that. On the other hand, you have a happy face. I think there's hope for you because of that. And all your friends agree, so with all that good energy coming you're way, you'll be finnnnnnnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeeee­e! Just square breathe and it will be a-o-k! Marius

[lebenankh]

You can write a happy song about awesome things. Like your Operation t-shirt.

[MimsieSky]

YOU CAN DO IT MOLLY! :D

[KarlaQat]

Perhaps it's mean, but I have no sympathy for you. I'm just all "Yay, she's gonna have a new song!" :D

[smallstegosaurus]

It's going to be okay. Just sit down and write something. (Deep breaths!)

[JEEEZ123]

i love your dino hat/mask you're wearing in your picture for the competition! and i see you're going up against hank, ahhh! i wish you the best of luck, i'm sure you'll whip out something pretty amazing!

[davecoolsdf]

ok you just take the pop format, write it down. listen to your favorite few happy songs. take those small elements be it transitions, hook ideas, fills, whatevs, mark them down. take favorite chord progressions.

combine, music done. for lyrics, that's all you.

[HelloKittyPwns17]

I LOVE YOUR SHIRT. seriously. 'tis amazing.

[oakstave]

Write a song about your experiences on youtube and how it affected your musical career.... Or maybe something about pandas.

[Encubed]

Write a song about freaking out, but freaking out with happiness.

[FlyLiceLecordings]

congrats!

[MonParii]

Omg the puppets! I official adore you. <3

[jamielangner]

good luck! it will be amazing!

[softsignals]

Just write a song about Peter Furnandez.

[gladewalker1]

Get a gigantic jug of applejuice, and pull an all nighter listening to Roger Miller tunes. If that doesn't get the creative happy juices flowing, I don't know what will.

[dexter2433]

your so cute

[amyjb]

iiiiiis that an  operation tee shirt?

[neeshaknowsall]

Apple Juice is the solution.

[MischiefManagedNox]

good luck !

Ohh write a song about apple juice and sunshine :)

[Futuredudeman]

The whole apple juice song seems like a pretty good idea to me.

Like, taken at face value it could just be about the apple juice, and it could actually be an analogy for the all little things that make us happy. :O

[Pixiegirl12]

Okay...BREATHE is the first thing you should do.

Write a song about Wall-e. Or the themes there in of Wall-e.

Or about Disney in general since you have HM3 cups.

Or pegachick's idea and write about Apple Juice!

But breathe.

Whatever you write will be totally amazing and will kick mega-booty.

[PersianTowTruckMan]

write a song about a puppy that makes a friend at the park.

[yomejustacandy]

it will come to you a lot of musicains couldnt or didnt write music until they were in there late twenties youll do fine

[recordmaniacproducer]

take a chill pill !!!

[lostismyconstent]

you'll be fine. don't freak out too much :)

[meganmondegreen]

Ideas:

Being a kid and learning how to tie your shoes

A day of hair cooperation

When a day starts out poorly but then at the end of the day, you look back and realize what a good day it was

Or something else, but these things make ME happy.

Good luck. :)

[thefrog6]

if you were to beat Paul and storm you could rub that in their face for sooooooo long =p

[pegachick]

write a song about apple juice!!!!

[DJWidget]

Holy cow. A competition in which two of my favorite Internet musicians (Miss Molly and Hank Green) have a possibility of going into a Iron Music Chef round with Paul and Storm? I fear the merging of such awesomes. Surely, something will explode.

[FrostDeman]

Don't be afraid, you're only facing two (technically three) Masters Of Song Fu Veterans. Think about all the things you can say if you make it all the way to the finals? Say there is an idea for a happy song, Victory!

[chacotan]

"I need some apple juice." hahaha that was AWESOME.

You're gonna be great! Dont stress about it.

Just DONT PROCRASTINATE. Whatever you do - dont procrastinate.

[kkatsa]

01:24 - 01:27

ROFL

i love her but it sounds like chewbakka xD

hahahahahah

[FrostDeman]

Yes! I will vote for you ALL the way, unless it comes down between you and Paul and Storm in which I must vote for the better song...I wish you the best of luck!

[TrajanFlow]

We'll do our part, which is vote and love you/this video. You can calm down and handle the rest.

[cmichaelcooper]

I think you should write the saddest song in the world, but write it so it's tongue in cheek and sounds happy. They will never know.

[Frankiponken]

haha. Troy has no answers, and that freaking side bar, that none knows where it is, should be put above the video!X)

[librarydanceparty]

Write about something that makes you happy :)

Good luck!!!

[swingsetup]

"looking passably attractive from a distance".....

what is that supposed to mean?

[ashdialin]

step 1: relax

....that's as far as i got XD

can i just say though, that when you are freaking out, it's kind of hilarious to watch.

[TheDblStandard]

Happy song? You have that in the bag. All of your [2] songs were happy, just demented and satirical in content. I say you take the same route to produce a gloriously happy song dripping with ironies and small woodland creatures...

[photosinensis]

Idea: go through and find the happiest YouTube comments and roll them all together. Bonus points for one that uses the word "sheeple". It's guaranteed to win.

Or, you know, keep being moe.

[triked14]

I LOVE YOUR VID"S you are so fricken orginal! you up beat and random and really fun to watch. great videos and keep it up. good look with the song, just look around and see whats happenin in your life. plus there is always applejuice?

[AirForce194]

Just relax then think of something happy

[blowsKiss008]

i really like your shirt!

i would suggest going somewhere beautiful. or just somewhere that you enjoy..maybe then you can relax and possibly come up with some song ideas

[sideaccount72]

Lol. I bet you will do great! you always write great songs

[genepoolshallow]

Write something about puppies. Everyone loves puppies. Or a sick puppy that gets well. Or a puppy that dies tragically saving its 7 year old human pal, Beverly. That would make it a country song, wouldn't it? Ooh! I know! A song about a puppy that is possessed by the spirit of Robert L. Ripley who just can't believe it!

[kairistwin]

Don't worry!

I'm sure there's some unbelievable musical ingenuity that has been subconsciously welling up in the back of your mind for the last thirteen months!

GO TEAM MOLLY!

;)

[SciFiGirl1023]

you can do it Molly! I believe in you!

Just breath and don't freak! you will be fine!

<3ssssssss

Mary Kate

[wasaboo]

you can do it :)

[ukesiscute]

you'll b awesome man!

[BoyBeamish]

Congrats on being selected for the competition! You must be very happy about that! :)

Just a thought...simple things are often happy...like a ukulele, a puppy, or chocolate gelato.  Or a monkey or a robot.

Complex, fancy things are often disappointing, like a fancy dress up party, or frosted Pop-Tarts (they might look good, but not so tasty...a little sad, really).

[lvlyraindrops]

Hahaha.

You can do it! Good luck!

[xoxoAlyssaJade]

xD i love youuuu. hahaha.

[OrangeRazor]

I always refer to Nickel Creek's "This Side" as "The Happy Song," simply because it is the most up-beat tune they ever put out. If you're looking for any inspiration, start there.

[Zanial]

Those are some amazing puppets. I can't wait to hear new music from you! Happy music even!

[dr3amgrrl]

I saw you play with jo co in portland. you could do a happy song about stupid people not reproducing. or what would happen if someone actually put animail d.n.a into humans.

[ilovevronaldwealsey]

You can do it!

[zachxhott64]

troy would want you to bop to the top and sing of the joy you get when....oh crap...this is hard

[jgf42]

Do the inverse of a JoCo song.

[photosinensis]

What, something that sounds sad and gloomy but is in fact about sunshine, lollipops, and daisies?

[mac10688]

cute

[xpalacios]

hey...you're gonna get it done..

but spinning around in your room and talking to puppets might not help.. or maybe it will!! haha

[ukulelezo]

Good luck! You can't go wrong with a song about kittens. just a thought.

[naterudolph]

This is awesome. It looks like you have some good competition, but if it were being judged on the bios, you'd be in the lead already. Good luck with the song-writing.

[lesliefoundhergrail]

Molly, you're wonderful, you'll be okay.

Apple juice makes the world better.

If you're stuck, there's always writing a song about trampolines...

[PaulRayIsMe]

If I were there, I'd give you a hug, bust out my Uke and start jamming with you. Since I'm not, go next door or down the street to your nearest friend's house, hug them, then bust out the uke and jam. :o)

[russbuss415]

you can do it! troy compels you.

[bernieb223]

Molly vs Hank Green vs Paul and Storm...uh oh

[BlazelDude]

I'll vote!

for someone else (lol j/k)

[42fba]

If you can't avoid ripping one off, rip ALL of them off! Go all post-modern recycling of old ideas into new ideas on that sucka.

And, yeah... apple juice, a sugar rush was what you clearly needed, you were WAY too mellow there ;-)

[hyrue]

well, since joco does not seem to be in this year, you are a shoe in for my vote!

[DarknessEats]

write a song about being happy that you thought of something to write about

[perfectchaos82]

Aw, poor thing has lost her damn mind. LOL I'll vote for you, even if its crap ;)

[analyzingfunny]

Ren and Stimpy's Happy Happy Joy Joy!!!

[nerdyolive]

Awesome, best of luck!

I'm gonna vote for you :)

[coughzilla]

You should try doing 48 hour film competition, where you need to write about 3 songs in 2 days; plus record it. That's not fun in the slightest.

[crimsong19]

I'm sure that you'll do fine. I'll vote for you.

[SadToots]

Also, now we know your last name HA HA HA HA

[SadToots]

Just try a funny song and hope for the best!

[MetalGearJoe]

You can do eet! We believe in you!

[aphr43l]

you'll be fine :)

I can't wait to hear the song!

[ollipoppolli]

of course, we will vote 4 ur song - given we hear it first ;-)

[Perfumedeluxe]

HAHAHH I LUV U

[thndrjames]

Oh, Song FU, like Karate. Not FU like Fuck You...got it.

[RockingJamboree]

Molly, I believe in you. I may have even suggested that you enter the Song Fu competition months ago. I've even written songs about you. OK, the song wasn't ABOUT YOU, but you did get a mention, more like a musical shout out!

Now, I'm competing against you! And Hank Green, Paul and Storm and Neil FREAKIN' Innes! Holy Crap!

You have legions of fans, Molly, who will surely vote you through to round two. I will just try to write a good song and pray that somebody notices.

Good Luck. Molly!

[aslanenlisted]

you are adorable and of course I will vote as many times for you as I possibly can... (didn't you write the Paper Towns song in this interim between Januarys ?)

[izzycroptik]

Lol, you're sweetofton'er than ever

[8Tails]

Oh SNAP! Molly VS Hank! Who. Will. WIN?!?

Ok here's what you do.

Get an imaginary pot.

Toss in some rainbows.

Some unicorns.

Some clouds.

And possibly a carebear-stare for good measure.

But seriously tho. You could write about a happy memory. Or you can make some random stuff up. ;)

[6to4Weeks]

Hey buddy, don't worry about ripping people off. Michael Caine once said if you find something that someone else is doing and you like it, by all means steal it. Chances are HE stole it from someone else. =)

Anyway, revert back to the last time you were really happy and see where that takes you.

[Rivahla]

i think whatever you right will be awesome.You have a gift with words and with music and I doubt that gift will let you down. If you are looking for something happy look no further then your bf. Happiness is evident in the face of others when we love... and channel the freaking out to the tempo of the song LOL
