We choose APT as our song of parody because we found it annoying just like how we find being sick annoying. The upbeat attitude of the song also contrasts with how bad being sick actually is. At first we knew that we were going to partner up, me and Adriana, but we had a hard time figuring out what our topic of the parody would be. Then we both got sick within the same week. Then we both decided to make the parody about being sick and what it entails. We then worked on writing lyrics about being sick. We wrote things we did while being sick like watching TV shows like anime and eating lots of soup. I really found it amusing that we both were sick at the same time and technically recorded the lyrics while were were sick. The song to me just feels authentic, talking about being sick while being sick. While we both couldn't work on the assignment for a long time due us being sick, the product of the parody in the end was great in my opinion.
In the lyrics I wrote, I was trying to shift the part about being sick as a blessing because you're free to what ever you want. You're able to watch TV and anime all day but in the end being sick really takes away from the viewing experience so in the lyrics end up giving up on trying to have fun and just trying to get over the sickness.I am really happy that I was able to even do this assignment at all. As stated before I got sick before we started the assignment so I was really tired during the week and I didn't even know if ill get to school on Monday. I did end up getting here so I got to record. I did the lyrics when I was still recovering on Sunday but they ended up not sounding too bad.
