Magritte's transmogrification

Story of a little man who rapidly wakes up and discovers that he is changing.

My Romanian pen pal inspired this song last November when she asked me to write about "povestea unui omulet care se trezeste brusc...incepe sa se transforme intr-un om din fructe." -- basically, a little guy who's observing his body is suddenly turning into fruit.

When Dictionary.com 's word of the day was "transmogrify" this weekend, I remembered my song and its title, and how I always wanted to make a little video for this tune. Creating this music video also coincides well with my recent passion for eating lots of fruits.

This feature is my Avatar in the sense that I spent lots on delicious produce and I tried the "new" technology of taking photos and then making a video of me scrolling through those photos on my computer. I call it Doh-tech.

Lyrics:

It started off as a good day -
no zombies were blocking my way to the bathroom.
But then I flicked the light switch on
and what I saw made me withdraw into slight gloom.

I don't look the same anymore.
Something is terrifically different.
I don't like the same anymore.
(Something has changed.)
Something is off, doubly odd, triply peculiar.

My head is now a Granny Smith apple
(Who is there?)
my fingers are red seedless grapes
(Banana)
my hair is made of the wooliest quince
(Who is there?)
and my mind is made of dates.
(Banana banana)
(Orange you glad I didn't say banana?)
(I may have to go bananas.)

Noni noni noni noni noni,
no need to run away.
I still have a few days before I decay.

Maybe this time around
I'll embrace the change.




Welcome senescence!
