Flavortown Oddity v4 (Cover)

[**(produced by Brian Eno)**] [**(recorded at Abbey Road Studios)**] [**(Parody of "Space Oddity", by David Bowie)**] [**(Start)**] [Intro] [(Distorted)] “The Flavortown Intergalactic Cooking Channel Satellite has reached a boil. Its weight and size now pose a serious threat to citizens everywhere. In other words, it’s ‘taking the bus to Flavortown.’ In its great wisdom, the great and mighty cable network executives have decided to use all resources necessary to release this Space Station from our orbit. This is legit. Its new course is set for the deep wastes of the Delta Quadrant. Like the great cooks of old that have gone to Mount Olympus and now cook with the flavor gods, the Flavortown Intergalactic Cooking Channel Satellite will journey into the unknown. A symbol of our values and knowledge. It will carry a message of peace and unity to the farthest reaches of the universe. And also crème fraîche. Thoughts and prayers. Godspeed and good luck…” [Verse 1] [(Melody influenced by the intro to "Space Oddity")] [(Whispered)] “The portal looms, a doorway unknown A maze of lights, where reason has flown…” [(Helium-pitched vocals)] “Trouble? You bet! The kitchen’s a mess!” [(Reverb vocals)] “The satellite’s course is set, into the Delta Quadrant it’ll jet…” [Verse 2] [(Soft and eerie)] “Too big to stay, it threatened the town A floating menace, had to be brought down” [(Normal vocals)] “The execs decreed, with a solemn tone To the farthest reaches, it must roam alone” [Chorus] [(Energetic and upbeat)] “This is Ground Control to Chef Flavortown, You’ve really made the grade! And the viewers want to know how long to bake, If the soufflé’s gonna stay or break!” [Verse 3] [(Melancholic)] “Far past the stars, in kitchens unknown A chef’s duty calls, he must go it alone” [(Whimsical)] “With ladles and spoons, and tongs in his hand He’s cooking up dreams in a faraway land” [Chorus] [(Energetic and upbeat)] “This is Ground Control to Chef Flavortown, You’ve really made the grade! And the viewers want to know how long to bake, If the soufflé’s gonna stay or break!” [Bridge] [(Spoken, with increasing distortion)] “Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare Chef Guy Fieri’s floating, but he doesn’t care For he knows that out there, beyond the stars There’s a cosmic café serving food from Mars” [Verse 4] [(Melody softens)] “Though the station's lost, in the dark void’s embrace Chef Fieri’s spirit will never erase” [(Cheerful)] “With a whisk and a wish, he conquers the unknown For no chef’s ever truly alone” [Outro] [(Echoing)] “Ground Control to Chef Flavortown, Your mission’s now complete The flavors of the universe are yours to tweak From the Delta Quadrant, we hear your beat…” [(Distorted fade-out)] “Flavortown… can you hear me? Flavortown… can you hear me? Flavortown…”
