The People In My Neighborhood (bad video editing alert!!)

Apologies to Bob from Sesame Street. Just a stupid video I did and new version of the old classic song I wrote up. It all stemmed from a university project about the meaning of community and what mine is (or is not, in this case). Here's the lyrics.

People In My Neighborhood


Oh, who are the people in my neighborhood?
In my neighborhood? In my neighborhood?
Say, who are the people in my neighborhood?
The people that I meet each day


[Chris: Oh, hi there, little fella.]
[Anything Vancouverite #1: Hello.]
[Chris: Hey, listen, know who you could be if I gave you this little cart and this garbage bag to go over your shoulder?]
[Anything Vancouverite #1: I could be a trash man.]
[Chris: No, not a trash man.]
[Anything Vancouverite #1: How about a guy doing community service for a DUI?]
[Chris: No no no, not that.]
[Anything Vancouverite #1: What's wrong with community service?]
[Chris: There's nothing wrong with doing community service, but...]
[Anything Vancouverite #1: Don't you like clean streets?]
[Chris: Oh, I love clean streets. But you could be a homeless can collector.]
[Anything Vancouverite #1: A homeless can collector, hmmmm ...]

Oh, the homeless always collect cans they find them everywhere by hand
They work and work the whole day through To pick up cans left by you

'Cause the homeless are people in my neighborhood
In my neighborhood They're in my neighborhood
The homeless are people in my neighborhood
The people that I meet each day


[Anything Vancouverite #1: See ya. I got work to do.]
[Chris: Ok. Well hello there.]
[Anything Vancouverite #2: Hey.]
[Chris: So, if I gave you this mini-skirt, one shoe and taught you a fun dance, do you know who you would look like?]
[Anything Vancouverite #2: I could be Britney Spears.]
[Chris: I don't think you'd really look like her.]
[Anything Vancouverite #2: Maybe an 8-year-old beauty contestant?]
[Chris: No. I think they have two shoes.]
[Anything Vancouverite #2: Well, maybe they lost a shoe. It happens you know.]
[Chris: I guess it could.]
[Anything Vancouverite #2: It does. To my sister even.]
[Chris: Ok, ok. I was thinking you'd look just like a crack whore.]
[Anything Vancouverite #2: A crack whore? Where do I sign up?]

Oh, a crack whore tries to attract men To make some money she can spend
But she's not really bothered by it As long as she gets her next hit.

'Cause a crack whore is a person in my neighborhood
In my neighborhood She's in my neighborhood
And the homeless are people in my neighborhood
Well, they're the people that I meet When you're walking down the street
They're the people that I meet each day


[Anything Vancouverite #2: I'll see you around. Time is money.]
[Chris: Okay.]
[Anything Vancouverite #3: Hey, watch it. Who you runnin' from, the police?]
[Chris: Hey, speaking of the police.]
[Anything Vancouverite #3: Police! What police? Help! Help!]
[Chris: No, there's no police at all. But do you know who you could be if I gave you this pretty little pipe?]
[Anything Vancouverite #3: Yeah, my grampa.]
[Chris: No, not your grampa.]
[Anything Vancouverite #3: James Lipton from "Inside the actor's studio?"]
[Chris: No, no, no, not James Lipton, you could be a whacked out junkie.]
[Anything Vancouverite #3: A junkie? Holy smoke!]

Oh, a junkie is thin it's said His face is a shiny red
If there's a bike anywhere about He'll borrow it to help himself out

'Cause a junkie is a person in my neighborhood
In my neighborhood He's in my neighborhood
Well, a crack whore is a person in my neighborhood
In my neighborhood She's in my neighborhood
And the homeless are people in my neighborhood
Well, they're the people that I meet When you're walking down the street
They're the people that I meet each day

keep making fun of homeless people. you could not walk in their shoes, I know I have been there and now unfortunatly I was laid off and now I'll be homless before christmas. Be thankful for what you have, you just might loose it.

[chiklets99]

@stincity1 At least you still have internet access.

[b3d]

Wow this is histareacal, did you do all of the voices!

[chiklets99]

Yeah. The conversations were the same recording, so the transitions are squeaky. It was a good distraction from university writing.

[lokee1971]

all my neighbors are noisy assholes

[usaiscollapsing]

I heard Bob died earlier today. May he rest in peace.

[stincity1]

I have read here the bulletin that said that Bob McGrath died, but it was another Bob McGrath who died in March and is not related at all to the dear Sesame Street's singer. I found it out by this video: VJUvpCLsFpc on Youtube.

[ballrub]

kools sheit here!!!

[SunkenCide]

This would be better as an iTunes song. But, it's still fun to listen to. :D

[Smartboy8877]

The fact that I watched this video is because guys with sleep disorders are people in your neighborhood!

[sideslide23]

the best thing of this video when I watch it was the City bus pulling in.
