the fan project has arrived in the AI era...I’m hoping for a continuation with JR’s AI-generated voice...

Re: LazyTown Forever

Something from The Lazy Dance was in the Techno Generation segment, it's the fourth clip when Robbie turns on the TV screens.

That was the scene I was thinking about. xD I wonder...

Re: LazyTown Forever

Hi, thanks for your interest in the project.

In terms of what songs are sampled or referenced (musically), the list goes, in order of appearance: Welcome To LazyTown, Bing Bang, Cooking by the Book, New Games Everyday, We Are Number One, Teamwork, Have You Ever, Master of Disguise, Galaxy, Techno Generation, Allt í Lagi í Latabæ. There are other songs directly referenced lyrically, and some other small vocal samples pulled from songs, but I don't necessarily count those.

Regarding the video, it had the same premise as the song - create something that represents the heart and soul of LazyTown. I had some ideas in mind for particular clips I wanted to use, but there was still plenty of space to fill. I researched by watching the series front-to-back and making notes for clips that I thought would be good to represent LazyTown and a good fit for the look-and-feel of the video. Some clips I had to get creative with to make work, but I am very happy with the result.

Re: LazyTown Forever

Is there a list of when parts of songs from other LazyTown songs are used? I recognized the ending as the end song from GGIL, 'Master of Disguise' during the Robbie interlude, and 'Teamwork' at 1:48 but not much else.

Re: LazyTown Forever

I love this song and everything and everyone it celebrates! Stingy, how did you decide what LazyTown clips to sample and from which episodes, like the Robbie interlude from First Day of Summer/Little Pink Riding Hood?

Re: LazyTown Forever

I wish I knew about the project earlier. Back then, I was kind of new to the community and I didn't know about it. When I actually learned about it, I was late by a few days and submissions were already over.

What I get for hesitating to join GetLazy

You're a bit late to the party sure, but you're a part of the celebration now, right?

Still extremely proud and excited that I got to be a part of this song.

Re: LazyTown Forever

This song was simply bodacious. Well done.

Re: LazyTown Forever

Thanks Chris! You looking fly in the vid as well! Did you get a haircut?

Time and age have been eroding my hair for several years, if that's what you mean ;)
The position of the ceiling light makes it look worse than it is lol

Haven't watched the video at the time of making this post, but aren't some songs just best left to interpretation? Like American Pie and Bohemian Rhapsody? Nobody knows the meaning behind them, and people theorise about the lyrics of those songs all the time without a definitive breakdown of lyrics. Ignorance is bliss after all right?

Haha I understand your point, but I'm not sure if the lyrics to LazyTown Forever are on the same level as those other songs. The point of the video is more of what I had in mind while making the song. If you or anyone interprets something else, that's great and your feelings are as valid as mine.
