iVoice: Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift Paint their Toenails!

In case it hasn't yet been clearly articulated here (probably not), the two fellas responsible for the never-ending laff-riots that are iVoice chats are Jon Bois and Brandon Stroud, who also co-run the chat-game over at the Dugout. We're still not sure how they do it—they're either über-hackers or über-hecklers, but we don't want to know what's in the Big Mac Special Sauce either. This one comes courtesy of Brandon and it is a personal fave. — Your blawgh editah

LionTaymor: uhhh my next idea was to... was tooooo....

to take somebody else's work and color all over it?

And we're hoping this one will be music related, too? Yes?


LionTaymor: ...oooof course! Yes! Yes of course, this one is music related, too!


MovieProducer: Outstanding! Which of music's great legends have you chosen to equate with a troubled period of American history this time?


MovieProducer: Let me guess! Bob Dylan! No, they just made his biopic... The Rolling Stones? No, couldn't be them, Scorsese covered them...

Noah: /sits on a beach with purple sand, pouts

*singing* Jenny was lovely, she was the queen of my nights....


**Online Host**
Clip art of the hostage crisis in Iran mixed with footage of a typewriter mixed with footage of a piglet being dropped into a bucket of paint plays under broken audio of Jimmy Carter.


Noah: /walks down city street in vintage clothes, has modern day haircut

Jenny, what's troubling you?

Jenny: /falls in love amidst turmoil


**Online Host**
One soldier CGI'd to look like 500 soldiers march over a tiny gas station with very little gas.


Soldiers!: Out of our way, you "beautiful losers!" We're on our way to fight a WAR in "Katmandu!"


Jenny: what do you mean by that!


Noah: I think they're goin' to Katmandu!


Jenny: noah no /collapses in slow motion, hair looks like it's underwater


**Online Host**
From acclaimed director Julie Taymor, the visionary who brought you "Across the Universe" and that version of Titus where everyone is in bodypaint and helmets...


Noah: Jenny, I've got to get out of here. This war is too much war! I'm going "The Distance" and leaving the "Nutbush City Limits" at "Nine Tonight"...


Jenny: you're "Like a Rock," Noah, always running "Against the Wind"...

**Online Host**

Jenny: hey look, it's our random black friend and his Asian girlfriend
Rufus: man, you can't do this! Don't you understand we're fighting a WAR here?
Noah: I'm going to Katmandu! I can't deny this "fire inside"... and Jenny will "Accomp'ny Me!"
Jenny: noah no /cries animated tears

MaryLou: /sings a Tina Turner-esque version of "Old Time Rock n' Roll" for absolutely no fucking reason

 

**Online Host**
This mid-Autumn when nothing else is coming out, we invite you and your gay friend and his fat girl best friend to witness the motion picture event of three decades ago...

Soldiers!: Out of our way! Now that we've destroyed Katmandu, we're out to destroy ROCK AND ROLL
Jenny: noah no /runs away (in terrible perspective)
Noah: Come back, baby!
Jenny: In all of this war you've forgotten what's important in life!
Noah: ROCK AND ROLL NEVER FORGETS
 

**Online Host**
"We've Got Tonight"

This film is rated R for mild language, pervasive smoking, and occasional solarized titties.

MovieProducer: We love it, babe, but we're changing the title. We're gonna call it "Shakedown."
LionTaymor: but that compromises my artistic vision
MovieProducer: yeah, but the Beverly Hills Cop II soundtrack is a hilarious reference

FromWentzItCame: /holds camera above head, pulls out wiener

/throws up horns, makes fish face


StumpTheYard: hey pete, whatcha up to


FromWentzItCame: sighhhh nm just trying to finish writing this song

maybe you could help?


StumpTheYard: sure, I'm always willing to help. What do you have so far?


FromWentzItCame: it's a song about polar bears titled "plr br"

that's all I've got so far >.<


StumpTheYard: okay well you already took out the vowels, today's kids will be able to follow it


StumpTheYard: have you tried adding a complete sentence before or after plr br? that might get the ol' greasy juices flowin'


FromWentzItCame: *lament* ya for a while the song was called "y/n 2 B that is the question, whether tis nobler in th plr br"


FromWentzItCame: an i hopped in a circle on it for a few hrs but it just never flt rght

<

StumpTheYard: would it help if when I'm singing "polar bear" I only sing the first half of the word? Like, I can go PAH! LER BAH!


StumpTheYard: AH! GOT NO TOY! FOR PLAH BAH! instead of "i've got no time for polar bears" et al.


FromWentzItCame: lol ^_^ ya that would rilly help


FromWentzItCame: ~!!! (idear)

u know what would rilly help, if i looked up the wrd "br" in my homonym dictionary


FromWentzItCame: that way i could cm up wth a series of convoluted plays on wrds that have nothing 2 do w/ the song


StumpTheYard: That's a great idea! Isn't that what you've done for the last seven years?


FromWentzItCame: bly


FromWentzItCame: i could cll the sng "an eskimo freezes his balls off when he's polar bare"

and then the song could be about a relationship gone wrong


StumpTheYard: yesss you could call it "amy poehler had a headache so she took some polar bayer"

and then the song could be about remembering a past relationship


FromWentzItCame: "election stresses were more than the poller could bear"

and then the song could be about the excitement of a new relationship


StumpTheYard: as long as it's about a relationship


FromWentzItCame: well doy wh d y thnk _ m

iVoice: Sean Kingston "Dake You Dere" IM Chat


**OnlineHost** Welcome to Sean Kingston's Travel Service Chat!


KingstonZissou: YO!!

WHAT A GWANN!!!!

HO!!!

SEAN KINGSTON!!!

J.R.!!!!!


Shorty: Sean honey I need you to stop shouting declaratively for a second and help me finalize these vacation plans.


Shorty: Do you have any ideas? Where are you going to take me?


KingstonZissou: we could go to the tropics, sip piña coladas, shordy I could dake you dere


Shorty: Hey, that sounds pretty nice! A beach vacation!


KingstonZissou: or we can go to the slums where killers get hung, shordy I could dake you dere


Shorty: uh, what


KingstonZissou: you know I could dake yaaaa


Shorty: I do not want to go where killers get hung for vacation


KingstonZissou: Babe it's up to you, it's whatever you like

I'm known in the ghetto


Shorty: the ghetto where they kill killers you mean


KingstonZissou: Baby girl I know it's rough but come wit me, we can dake a trip to da hood, it's no problem girl it's my city I could dake you dere


KingstonZissou: these are Jamaican hoods of course so they differ significantly from your common American hood


KingstonZissou: Little kid wit guns only 15 roamin' the streets up to no good. When gun shots just watch us, run quickly, I could show you where


KingstonZissou: in fact I've got a map which spotlights a lot of great places to quickly run when the 15 year olds start firing at us


KingstonZissou: or, I mean, we could go to paradise if that is more of the fun day out you are looking for


Shorty: hmm, let me think

so the killers, they get hung you say


KingstonZissou: yes absolutely


Shorty: and the 15 year olds will shoot as us indiscriminately if they are not aware of us whilst in the hood, correct


KingstonZissou: yes but I am a celebrity so they will probably not shoot me, or you by proxy


Shorty: and if by some chance I do see them kill somebody I will also see them hung


KingstonZissou: almost definitely


Shorty: Ugh, hold on a sec . . . how did you date this guy for so long?


boring_and_natasha: I keep comin' back to him 'cause I'll never find a love like this!


Shorty: Really? What causes that, specifically?

boring_and_natasha: a unique and cosmically specific bond between people who-

no sorry I mean "he was cool back in high school."

that's as far as I can get into that song without vomiting

boring_and_natasha: but if you're discussing vacations, I recommend the slums for all their great killer hangings

iVoice: Nellie MacKay's New Record, the IM Chat

ANOTHER SOUND OF THE CITY CHAT ROOM EXCLUSIVE! We have no idea how these dudes do this, but iVoice correspondent Brandon Stroud hacked into an IM conversation between Nellie MacKay and her producer and sent us a screenshot! OMMFG! FIIIRST LOOK!


McKayver: For my next release I have narrowed down the song choices from 100,000 to an even 240.


McKayver: If we put ten songs on each disc we can release it in two boxed set volumes of 12 discs each.


McKayver: The cover of volume 1 is me giving you the finger with the title "Norah Jones Can Eat Shit."


RecordProducer: we can't do that


McKayver: We can market it toward young people who like jazz music but think it needs more cursing.


RecordProducer: we're making one album with a super thin cardboard cover and you only get ten songs


RecordProducer: let's have them, your ten best


McKayver: all right, track one is a ragtime composition where I stop in the middle to battle rap Frank French


McKayver: track two is called BEER ME O LORD and I play the Flamenco Guitar with my elbows and it kinda sounds like shit, but that's what I'm going for


McKayver: then for track three we change gears completely with chamber music~!


McKayver: then some light instrumental jazz where I sign in portuguese


McKayver: are you liking this

the back of the album is going to be a candid photo of me hugging a pigeon


RecordProducer: sigh

what's the last song on the album


McKayver: it's a really straight-forward, beautifully performed, catchy song where my influences shine and I really come into my own.


RecordProducer: whoa, really? sweet


McKayver: and in the chorus we have, say, babies screaming


RecordProducer: no


McKayver: gunshots, old people screaming, blood splatter


RecordProducer: no


McKayver: chainsaws, howling dogs


RecordProducer: no


McKayver: zombie noises


RecordProducer: no

sigh, okay, zombie noises


McKayver: excellent! a really straight-forward, beautifully performed, catchy song with zombie noises!


McKayver: /plays piano like psychopath

/does not blink


RecordProducer: we're going to be poor and weird forever


McKayver: but you love me right


RecordProducer: more than anything in the world
