eHarmony Parody

I have written and directed my first music video. Since I've been listening to a lot of Weird Al, it is a parody. This particular parody is about eHarmony.com to the tune of Tender Tennessee Christmas. Click HERE to hear & view it.

Ok here is where I am at with this. I've never been to eharmony. I've never heard the original song before and if there was a video with this all I got was a white screen with no ability to double click anything. All that being said. Very good job at the writing and performing part. Good subtleties. I could have used a few more gratuitous violence lines (personal preference) but all in all a good job. Not as good as Weird Al but way better than Cleatus T Judd.

LOL Matthew! This is quite funny. Especially when I consider just how many times Eharmony.com commercials are on TV. bleck.

Now, I think it's time I told my tale of woe:

Last year, I lost a bet to a gal pal. The stakes were that whoever lost the bet had to fill out the questionaire and sign up for the free trial of eharmony.com matchmaking. I lost the bet. So, I spent about a half an hour filling out the questionaire. When it asked for things that would be limiting I always chose the largest possible category: I said any ethnicity was fine, geographical proximity to me did not matter, Catholic or Protestant, and I left it open to a wide age range. I just wanted to see how many matches would come up so that me and my gal pal could get a few laughs at imagining me with the results. Turns out the joke was on me. ZERO matches came up. Zero matches for Jo in the entire registry of eharmony.com in the entire over-populated country. Turns out the joke was on me! I was the weird-o who couldn't even find a pseudo-electronic match! I never really realized how strange of a gal I must be until that day. I haven't been back to eharmony since (are you nuts? who would pay money for that sort of thing?), of course, but it was funny.

Neil Clark Warren is totally creepy.

p.s. I am surprised Kirk partially approved of your parody Matthew given the fact that it is set to a country tune.

Steph, thanks :)

Kirk..I'm not sure what to do about the white screen. I've never posted a video on here that 'everybody' could see. And I figured not everyone knows 'tender tennessee christmas' either, but that's the song that came to mind when i imagined the first few lines :)

Jo...If I were you I would interpret 0 matches as eHarmony admitting that you are better than everyone else :)

hey Matt I got it to work on the church computer. Parodies of Country songs are allowed as they are in essence makig fun of the song. ie: i hate that song that Achy Breaky Song the most annoying song I know. AND You're the woman that I've always dreamed of well not really but you're good enough for now.

That's pretty funny.

eHarmony commercials make me depressed, so the more bashing they get, the happier I am.

You have a good singing voice. Perhaps if you had music and backup singers, you could be as awesome as Weird Al. ;)
