Streets Ahead - Community Song

This is a tongue in cheek song based on my newest favourite show, Community. This whole thing from writing to filming was done in about 2 hours. For those not familiar it's a US sitcom (WATCH IT) and in one episode Pierce coins (and mints) the phrase "Streets Ahead", but the group aren't really sure what it means...

I took some poetic license with the lyrics, but they're loosely based on things that happen in the show in seasons 1 and 2 (Pierce's cult, Shirley's baby, Britta joining a protest early in season 1 etc.) while other parts, like "romance" are purely for rhyming purposes!

The video was done at a different time to tha audio due to techical difficulties (after making this video I may change my middle name to technical difficulties), hence the sync issues in the later part!

The last part of the song actually came from a tweet from Dan Harmon that I stubled across, so I thought I'd chuck them in :D

Anyway! Enjoy!
(G, D, G6th, C)
When your mother's in a lava lamp
It's weird but you don't care
That's streets ahead

When every racist thing you say
Is reiterated in a tweet
That's streets ahead
(Am, C)
Streets ahead

Little Annie Adderoll
She could be a centrefold
That's streets ahead

Troy and Abed's bromance
Mimics a married couple's romance
That's streets ahead

Streets ahead
(G, D, G6th, C, played slower)
And Britta likes to think that she's an activist
You wouldn't like her when she's... annoyed

And Shirley and El Tigre well they nearly had a... bay-bay...
That would have made things weird

Streets ahead

Winger Was Once A Winner
Wow that's really hard to say...
Is that streets ahead?

I tried to hard to make it a thing
And now it's lost all of it's meaning
I guess... that's streets ahead

Streets ahead

Streets ahead
I'm talkin' 'bout streets ahead
It's a brand new phrase people say when somethin's ahead
