Conspiracy Theory Jumps Up The Leaderboard

conspiracy

As the first weekend of the Do The Jingle contest came to a close, Dallas-based rock band Conspiracy Theory has jumped to second place in total votes and currently leads the field in the most viewed category, with over double the views of the vote-leading Pinnell Dancers. 

While the Do The Jingle contest is still young, this is an encouraging sign for all AC/DC fans, as Conspiracy Theory belted out a SafeAuto jingle to the tune of the epic song “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” one of my personal favorites.

While lead singer Dana Eddy bears no physical resemblance to Angus Young, he definitely nails the voice, and his lyrics are polished by really focusing on the benefits of the SafeAuto brand, much like Weird Al Yankovic serenading the benefits of eBay.

As the contest unfolds over the next two months, we will follow Conspiracy Theory closely to see which Australian rock band they more closely resemble; rockers with staying power like AC/DC, or flash in the pan pop rockers Savage Garden.For all of our sakes, hopefully the former.

We are honored to be in the lead presently, but we realize that there is still many a slip twixt the cup and the lip, and this contest is far from over with 60+ days to go yet. We'd like to thank all our friends, fans, and supporters as well as the brigade of Republic of China sweatshop workers who are voting for us. (jk) A special shout out to the Conspiracy Babes and all their effort on the social nets, you ladies rock our world.

From our Blog on Oct. 18th:
"We had the actual jingle all rocked out revved up and ready to go, and when we mentioned that we'd been jerkin around with some of our covers made into jingles, they said "Let's hear some."

So we did an AC/DC version, Red Rider, Tom Petty, Golden Earring, Judas Priest, etc and had a blast making up the lyrics as we went. They liked the AC/DC version and asked us if we'd record an entire song version, so we went home and our frontman wrote it in  just a few minutes. The verses came into shape spontaneously, and while we wanted to promote Safe Auto it was also nice to poke fun at Geico in the process.

A little gecko gonna steer you wrong!
That's what you're gonna find
That caveman he just thinks he's smart!
Don't pay him any mind
I'm telling you... Here's what you do
You just pick up the phone
You're gonna find
You can get peace of mind
Don't gotta take out a loan!


Should we be fortunate enough to win the overall contest, we plan to spend the money frivolously for the most part, but will also use a portion of it to resupply our stock of t-shirts, bumper stickers, lighters & ashtrays, and of course... official Conspiracy Theory tinfoil covered baseball caps!

Oh we forgot to add this in by way of disclaimer: During the video shoot, when we were running through some lyrics off the top of our heads, and everyone was laughing all around the room, we said something about "Who would address licensing?" and the reply was "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it, just go ahead and play it." so we did... and in the middle of trying to ad lib a section of it, we wanted to talk smack about a certain other insurer... the guys from Safe Auto laughed and then made a serious face and said, "Don't say that name... AC/DC we can handle, those guys we can't." Smile  We love honesty.

Rhinoplasty los angeles

In a small town in the US, there is a rather sizable factory that hires only married men.

Concerned about this, a local woman called on the manager and asked him, "Why is it you limit your employees to married men? Is it because you think women are weak, dumb, cantankerous..or what?"

"Not at all, Ma'am," the manager replied. "It is because our employees are used to obeying orders, are accustomed to being shoved around, know how to keep their mouths shut and don't
pout when I yell at them."

After pulling a farmer over for speeding, a state trooper started to lecture him about his speed, pompously implying that the farmer didn't know any better and trying to make him feel as uncomfortable as possible. He finally started writing out the ticket, but had to keep swatting at some flies buzzing around his head.

The farmer said, "Having some problems with circle flies there are ya?"

The trooper paused to take another swat and said, "Well, yes, if that's what they are. I've never heard of circle flies."

The farmer was pleased to enlighten the cop. "Circle flies are common on farms. They're called circle flies because you almost always find them circling the back end of a horse."

The trooper continues writing for a moment, then says," Hey, are you trying to call me a horse's behind?"

"Oh no, officer." The farmer replies. "I have too much respect for law enforcement and police officers for that."

"That's a good thing," the officer says rudely, then goes back to writing the ticket.

After a long pause, the farmer added, "Hard to fool them flies, though."

Grider

Definitely agree with what you stated. Your explanation was certainly the easiest to understand. I tell you, I usually get irked when folks discuss issues that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail right on the head and explained out everything without complication. Maybe, people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

Black Kitchen Faucet

I am not much of a guy who thinks in so deeply about web design but I think your post had some valid points in it. Like designers are forced to design stuff within the limited code available and not go beyond it, their innovation is somewhat limited but still I think Web Design won't die! I agree that Amazon and other some big sites won't have a blog but now a days it's very important to have some sort of option available so people can quickly communicate their thoughts. I think Amazon if wants to shift it to that, they can get a customized CMS for themselves.

Forex Trading

When you trade, you will always trade a combination of two currencies. For example, you will buy US dollars and sell euro. Or buy euro and sell Japanese yen, or any other combination of dozens of widely traded currencies. But there is always a long (bought) and a short (sold) side to a trade, which means that you are speculating on the prospect of one of the currencies strengthening in relation to the other.

There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game.
