WEIRD AL MUSICAL SERVICES (iO Theater Class Project)

INT. OFFICE BUILDING-DAY 

A THIN BUSINESSMAN and an OVERWEIGHT BUSINESSMAN sit at a board room table. 

THIN BUSINESSMAN 
Gee, this Big Pharma company needs a catchy jingle for our new medication. But writing original music is hard. 

OVERWEIGHT BUSINESSMAN 
If only we could use a famous song without paying the original artists. 

WEIRD AL (O.S.) 
Now you can! 

OVERWEIGHT BUSINESSMAN 
Who said that? 

WEIRD AL enters and plays his accordion. The Overweight Businessman faints and the Thin Businessman scrams. 

THIN BUSINESSMAN 
Holy cow, it’s Weird Al! 

Weird Al continues to play his accordion. 

WEIRD AL 
That’s right! You want to do a parody song cover and do it fast? No one can do it better than me, Weird Al? 

The Overweight Businessman wakes up and injects himself with a shot. 

OVERWEIGHT BUSINESSMAN 
Oh, Weird Al. We’re a struggling big pharma company and we have a new weight loss drug that needs a catchy jingle. But we can’t think of anything original. 

Weird Al laughs and rubs his long hair. 

WEIRD AL 
Oh that’s easy. With my parody song writing powers, I just came up with your new jingle. 

The Overweight Businessman slowly loses weight. 

OVERWEIGHT BUSINESSMAN 
You did? 

Weird Al plays his accordion again. 

WEIRD AL 
With my powers I can take the song It’s Magic You Know by the band Pilot and now make it about Ozempic. There now you have a song. Would you like another? 

Thin Businessman laughs and the formally Overweight Businessman, now thin, high fives Weird Al. 

THIN BUSINESSMAN 
Thanks Weird Al! 

Weird Al whistles to summon a GIANT FLYING HAMSTER into the board room. 

Weird Al hops onto the back of the Giant Flying Hamster and waves goodbye. 

WEIRD AL 
You’re welcome Big Pharma executives. I’m Weird Al and I’m affordable for any medication commercial that needs a catchy jingle without any of the hard work it takes to come up with something original. And remember, it costs extra for me to be funny! 

ANNOUNCER (V.O.)
