A LOST Theme Song Parody, tenth in a series of Theme Song Homages, sung to the tune of the One and Only title theme from LOST, as well as the composition, "Life and Death"
Thanks to my buddy Ben Westlake for the idea of the Lost intro at the beginning.

LOST is my favorite television show ever. Every week it was an event to be watched with friends, and if that wasn't possible, it was surely talked about every day for a week afterward. I had been introduced to the show through my girlfriend at the time who loved the concept. I tuned in to a very slow Jin and Sun episode about halfway through the first season and wanted to shut it off at every commercial break. I was confused about what was going on, the pace was deadly, and I didn't really like the characters. However, that night when I signed online, there was an article about things I might have missed as an audience member while I was watching the episode. I clicked on it out of curiosity, and I have been hooked on the show ever since. I had never seen a program on television before that used so many metaphors, literary references, and easter eggs to keep viewers involved. LOST has taken it's place as my favorite show EVER. That's right. Ever. Sorry if you're a hater. But, if you are, go back and start at Season 1, Episode 1.
I didn't necessarily try and become the characters this time as I normally do in my other Goldentusk Theme Songs. I was singing this song more as a tribute to the show itself. There was a contest for Comic-Con where you had to design an original 30 second theme song for the show, and I had entered the first verse of this for that, and LOST. (pun intended) A year later, I was getting excited for the finale and decided to write the theme song for fun. My buddy Ben had given me the idea to do the opening as a gag for the fans, but fifteen seconds was just too short and as many times as I tried to write something that I thought was really clever, I never got what I wanted. So I took Life and Death and just wrote the rest of that song. I was telling it as if I were an audience member who connected with each character so much that I identified with him, therefore I am dressed like many of the characters, but don't look like them (ie. Locke's bald head, Sawyer's blonde hair, the exception being Matthew Fox's Future Jack :) ) (Another sidenote: When I cut my hair very short and don't shave, I have been told I resemble Matthew Fox)
You can't read the titles in the video, but all the books are from the LOST reading list. I took them out on the same day at the library. They were all there. And by the time I had returned them, they had racked up a $30 late fee.
The Cast of Lost is:
Matthew Fox as Jack Shephard
Terry O'Quinn as John Locke
Evangeline Lilly as Kate Austen
Jorge Garcia as Hugo "Hurley" Reyes
Naveen Andrews as Sayid Jarrah
Josh Holloway as James "Sawyer" Ford
Daniel Dae Kim as Jin Kwon
Yunjin Kim as Sun Kwon
Emilie de Ravin as Claire Littleton
Michael Emerson as Ben Linus
Dominic Monaghan as Charlie Pace
Henry Ian Cusick as Desmond Hume
and a multitude of others...
In this video, I portray (in a way) Jack, Locke, Hurley, Sawyer, Charlie, and Roger WorkMan (a reference that you'll only get if you were an actual fan of the show)
I put subliminal images throughtout the video because LOST's advertising was always notorious for that.
The story of LOST goes something like this: Oceanic Flight 815 crashes on the way from Australia to Los Angeles, and the survivors find themselves on a deserted island. They find that the island is not your everyday piece of forgotten real estate, in that it holds some enchanted magical properties and some weird historical nuances. Each character has archetypal qualities and they must live together, or they will surely die alone. Through the six seasons, each hour-long episodic mystery leads to more questions, that, many complained, were never fully answered before the Series finale in May 2010.
Some common occurences on the show are eyes opening and closing, backgammon, right vs. wrong, good vs. evil, light vs. dark, truth vs. lies, father vs. son, living vs. dying, pure vs. tainted, faith vs. science, This show was just amazing, and there will never be another like it.
