Rumour has it, as they say, that owing to the great success of 'Shrek' in
the cinemas of the world, the eponymous hero of said movie has been
contracted to make 3 more films, the first of which will be a spoof remake
of Dean Martin's James Bond spoof 'The Shreking Crew'. The soundtrack will
include Dave Edmunds' 'Crawling from the Shreckage', 'The Shrek of the
Edmund Fitzgerald' by the Shuffle Demons, 'Shreking Ball' by Emmylou Harris,
a new song by Shrekless Eric, Paul Robeson's 'Ogre the Mountains', and the
traditional sea shanty 'My Bonnie Lies Ogre the Ocean'. Staying with the
nautical theme, the cover of the soundtrack album will feature, as I suppose
you will have guessed by now, 'The Shrek of the Medusa' by Jericho, err,
make that Gericault. I am unable to confirm that the character played by
Eddie Murphy will be appearing in a new version of Cervantes' classic
'Donkey Jote' as negotiations are still under way.
Sorry but I couldn't resist this; all this talk of the meaning of love,
comfort and melancholy is getting too much for me.
