The Frug - Rilo Kiley

And I can do the Frug
I can do the Robocop
I can do the Freddie
I cannot do the Smurf
And I can hate your girl
I can tell you that she's real pretty
I can take my clothes off
I cannot fall in love

And I can do the Frug
I can do the Robocop
I can do the Freddie
I cannot do the Smurf

And I can watch TV
I can shuffle off to Buffalo
I can do a backbend
I will not call you back
And I can start a book
I can make some mac and cheese
I can sleep twelve hours
You'll never see my eyes

And I can hate your girl
I can tell you that she's real pretty
I can take my clothes off
I cannot fall in love
You'll never see my eyes
I will not call you back
I cannot do the smurf
I cannot fall in love
I'll never fall in love
I cannot fall in love
I cannot fall in love
I cannot fall in love
I cannot fall in love

And I can do the Frug
I can do the Robocop
I can do the Freddie
I cannot do the Smurf (she cannot do the Smurf)

*loves* thank you - I don't get enough Wonderfalls fun

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I don't get enough Wonderfalls fun

I know! My little show :((

This vid was the first vid I watched when I arrived home with the DVD's. I love it so much! The editing is great, of course, but my absolute favorite thing is the subject you decided to give this vid. I love songs with an unreliable narrator. I love when singers lie, lie, lie and you can *hear* that and *see* that and it squeezes your heart in your chest because omg she's so totally already in love. Also, something about this singer's voice just appeals to me. Reminds me a little of Stevie Earl or Sheryl Crow, only softer if that makes any sense.

::cries::

That's it, yes. Thank you. :((

[sixshadesofgrey.livejournal.com]

The DivX software won't work on my comp cus I have Windows Millenium :(

I WANNA SEE THE VIDEO!!!!

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. Let me know how it goes with the VLC player?

[xoverau.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for posting all of these. I'm bookmarking and I'm planning a mass watching session. :)

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thank you for the interest :D

[wordsleadmeon.livejournal.com]

I grinned when I saw your post in the Wonderfalls comm, got all excited when I downloaded the vid, and smiled like an idiot the whole way through (And thanked the computer gods that my tempramental sound stayed on). Between Firefly and Wonderfalls, Fox needs to be smacked. Hard. And many times. But at least Wonderfalls got a full arc. Not stopping without an end just as things were getting cool was nice. There was a small measure of closure there. Sorry, I turned into rant girl there, didn't I?

Lovely vid, truly. The song choice was as inspired as HL's Window of Opportunity. They both just scream Jaye.

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Whee! Thank you so much. You're making me all happy.

I know! ::weeps::

OMG SO GLAD THAT THE FRUG IS POSTED :X:X:X:X I LOVE THIS VID SO MUCH I CANNOT WAIT TO WATCH IT AGAIN!!!!!

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, my darlingest :x:x:x

[reinabelle.livejournal.com]

Okay Flozie, despite having only watched 1 or maybe 2 episodes of this show, I decided to watch this vid because, well, because your Flozie and that means I knew it would be amazing. And guess what? I WAS RIGHT :X:X:X:X

So I am totally not smart enough to give you good feedback or even understand your vids probably, but I can tell you how it made me feel. I like that in the beginning she was all smart remarks and sarcastic attitude but that underneath she turned out to be soft and vulnerable, despite her best intentions.

[reinabelle.livejournal.com]

ALSO PLS NOTE THAT DESPITE THE FACT THAT I AM NOT ESL I MANAGED TO TYPE "YOUR" INSTEAD OF "YOU'RE". THIS IS PART OF WHY I AM NOT SMART ENOUGH TO WATCH YOUR VIDS :|:|:|

[starstuff27.livejournal.com]

Hi. I followed this link from the vidding community. I absolutely adored this video. The song was just perfect too. I'm glad I got to see it. :)

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it. :D

[twistinside82.livejournal.com]

Um, is the guy that played Ethan in that one episode of DLM in this show? Cos I loved him!

Okay, feedback. :)

I've never watched this show at all (but now I'm totally intrigued) but it's a Flo vid, so clearly I had to DL it.

And it's brilliant, of course! The pacing of the clips is excellent, and again, the movement, the flow ... just fab.

But what else is new? Heh. :X:X:X

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

it's a Flo vid, so clearly I had to DL it.

Wahhh! You're the awesomest friend ever.

Thank you so much, Liz. Glad it intrigued you! You would totally love this show I SWEAR ON SHANE'S PURPLE GLASSES. :x:x:x

[tinyblondeone.livejournal.com]

AKLSDFJ WHAT IS THIS SHOW. What a gorgeous gorgeous vid. And how much do I love that song?!! This is so dramatically different from the last one in tone and theme, but it still moves so incredibly Flozie. The interesting on-the-up-beat rhythm would've been a challenge I imagine, but you totally nailed it. I love love love the whimsical feel, and I'm guessing the show's a bit like that?? I really really love this one! Is there anything you can't do?!

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, sweetie. Wonderfalls hit me hard; I love it so much it hurts. I'm sure you'll love it too, OMG. Like Firefly, it was cancelled after only a few episodes. But the DVD set has the full season (13 eps). Watch it :x:x:x

I'm glad you liked the vid! It was actually not hard to make. I did it "on a whim" a few days before vids were due, hee. I had to deal with some stuff that, well -- I'll tell you more when you've seen the show so that I don't spoil!

Thank you, again. You're wonderful :*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_alicesprings/]

Um I haven't d/l'd yet but I'm about to. I love Wonderfalls and I love all your QA vids so I'm sure I will adore this too! I'm on dial-up, so I'll get back to you in a couple of hours after I've watched :)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_alicesprings/]

OK I LOVED IT!!
Also, I'm a tard and the post above was meant to say ILYour QAF vids.
The song was wonderful and the lyrics were perfect for Jaye. Yay you!

[schizojuc.livejournal.com]

Woohoo! Finally, a Wonderfalls vid! Great job! Loved it! Do you know where I can find more?

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It's rare, isn't it. I only know of two others:

heres_luck's "Window of Opportunity", which premiered at last year's VividCon, and gwn_r's "Bright Future in Sales", premiering this year.

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

I somehow missed that this was yours! I blame Lum and Scooby Road for messing with my head earlier in the day.

I loved this. Perfect feel for the show, perfect for Jaye, and just adorablely sweet and clever. :]

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

I hear ya. Waaa!

Thank you for letting me know you liked the vid. Jaye! ::sob::

[martoufmarty.livejournal.com]

Yay! A Wonderfalls vid!

I've only found a few of these...

I loved it. It was sweet and yet funny.

Loved the quick editing and scene selection.

Real good song choice.

The ending made me go 'awww'.

It was funny when you slowed down the clips to make it look like the animal things were singing lol.

Great vid :D

You're gonna make me break out my DVDs and watch the show over again :P

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thank you so much for watching and letting me know what you liked, and woot! a marathon's in order, indeed :D

[on-the-ground.livejournal.com]

Hi.. no idea which is this show but it looks really interesting.. thanx:(

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Thank *you* for watching!

[mcfeste.livejournal.com]

okay okay so. i have a story for you. i downloaded two or three of your vvc vids before i went internetless (the ones you had posted by, uh, wednesday?), but i had not watched any of them yet. so. i get my computer back and go to the file where i have brand new vids waiting for me to watch them, and 'the frug' was one of them. but it was so long ago that i downloaded it from your post that i had forgotten what fandom it was, and i know dick-all about wonderfalls, like, not even character names, so i spent the whole time having absolutely NO CONTEXT in which to put this vid...AND YET. i love love loved it, flozie. i felt such sympathetic affection for the girl, and i could tell her voice was totally unreliable WHICH I LOVE, so brava on the song choice. and your editing was so different than anything i've seen from you before. i want to say it's something to do with speed changes? dunno, have to rewatch. but! initial reaction: loved it. :X:X:X

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, sweetheart. Your feedback means a lot :*:*:*

[http://users.livejournal.com/naty_/]

I like both Rilo Kiley & Wonderfalls, so I was interested in watching this vid. It is *so* wonderful! I'm glad I saw the posting for it. You really picked a perfect song to echo Jaye's denial/hesitancy regarding her love life and (on a larger scale) her interactions with the muses. I especially liked the part where Jaye & Eric are listening through the wall and when the music stops during the chapel scene. And the end is so cute! But, really, the whole thing is fabulous.

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I was nervous about the last three episodes of the show, not sure if I wanted my perfect apathetic!Jaye to be all open and in love and all that. They resolved things in a way that actually worked for me, and the vid was my way of addressing all this, I guess. Glad it worked for you, and thanks for mentioning your favorite parts! :D

PS: I love your AiA icon!

[raebird.livejournal.com]

Oh, this is wonderful! I stopped by because I'm a big nerd who likes to check in on my icons in their new homes, and I'm so glad I did because I enjoyed this vid so much. Thank you for making it!

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Hee! Your icons are very happy here ;) And thanks for watching the vid and letting me know you like it. :D

Super sweet!

[shiningmoon.livejournal.com]

I just recently found this vid and liked it a whole lot! Nice work! (That song is catchy, too. Hadn't heard it before.)

Re: Super sweet!

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I appreciate you letting me know.

[perian.livejournal.com]

I'm just getting into vids and found a link to this one... somewhere. Can't remember. Anyway, I absolutely adored it. Great use of the chameleon and lions at the end, singing along!

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! The lipsync was really fun to do. :D

[tearful-eye.livejournal.com]

oh i adore this vid! so much.

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you so much!

[firefly-ca.livejournal.com]

I know it's an old one, but I just wanted to let you know that I love this video and have recommended it here (http://community.livejournal.com/fireflycarecs/50727.html). I also recommended your Prayer for the Dying (http://community.livejournal.com/fireflycarecs/14855.html) video earlier, but I'm only just getting caught up on letting people now I've recommended their stuff. Let me know if it's a problem!

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

No problem all! It is greatly appreciated!

[thirdblindmouse.livejournal.com]

Adorable like the show! I particularly liked the beginning sequence, 00:46, and the singing animals.

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!
