5/10/2010 - Rick Cormier

59 year old Rick Cormier is starting to get some play lately in dementia circles (and when I say that, Emi/DJ Particle is playing him on her weekly show as of late.) He has some interesting ideas and executes them well. The video on his main music page on his Soundclick music page sounds like it should be done by the Boobles -- if they did Elvis songs. But this is not about that song.
Rick Cormier has recalled the spirit of Rod Sterling in this song in a parody of the classic Carpenter's song, "Close to You." Here, Rod talks about how he cannot get a date because you have taken drastic, Twilight Zone worthy, steps to ensure that you're the only one around able to get a date. Well, you technically.
Here's Rick Cormier with, "Clones of You"

Lyrics
Why do you suddenly appear
Over there, when you're here?
Goodness me, he seems to be cloned from you

People stop. Stare in dumb surprise
Because twice, you've walked by
Golly gee, there's at least three clones of you

In the days before their births, the doctors got together
And decided to create another you
So, they sprinkled cells from sterile vials and, in a while
Instead of one, there's two!

That is why all the girls in town, when I call, turn me down
They've got dates with ninety-eight clones of you

Serling: OK, repeat the bridge then do the third verse again,
and repeat the outro over and over and over
Mac: Copy that, Mr. Serling
Serling: And, what song are we doing after this?
Mac: I Know There'll Never be Another You, Mr. Serling
Serling: Oh goodie, I like that one!

In the days before their births, the doctors got together
And decided to create another you
So, they sprinkled cells from sterile vials and, in a while
Instead of one, there's two!

That is why all the girls in town, when I call, turn me down
They've got dates with ninety-eight clones of you
I'm too late......they procreate....with clones.....of you

Waaaaaaaaaa.....clones of you
Waaaaaaaaaa.....clones of you
Waaaaaaaaaa.....clones of you
Waaaaaaaaaa.....clones of you
