tune: “Moves Like Jagger,” Adam Levine, Benny Blanco, Ammar Malik & Shellback, performed by Maroon 5, 2012
Come to the third floor
See a movie
And then something more
Stone-cold groovy
We’re gonna watch Shaft
And then what came aft-
Er, that’s Shaft’s Big Score
I planned this for you
Though it took me
A whole year or two
‘Cause you hooked me
Between action scenes
We’ll make out like teens Shaft in Africa too
And you’ll say
Take me to the moon funky white boy
Put me in a swoon all this night, boy
With the moves like Wilkins
Got those moves like Wilkins
Love the mo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooves like Wilkins
I’ll take over the world with my springs soon
When I am queen I’ll make you my king. You
Got the moves like Wilkins
Want those moves like Wilkins
Love the mo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooves like Wilkins
Okay, I posted this earlier, but it didn’t show up even after three page refreshes, so I’m reposting. If it posts twice, don’t say you weren’t warned:

I already used the theme from “Shaft” once when filking about Tigerlily. Let’s take this in a different direction …
(TUNE: “Make ‘Em Laugh”, Brown & Freed)
Watching “Shaft”!
Watching “Shaft”!
Richard Roundtree performing his craft!
The third floor window gives you a view …
I just might watch it with you!
I’ve got snacks!
I’ve got beers!
I petitioned for more than two years!
Just being with you once again, it makes my heart race!
I dreamed I might get close to you and know your embrace!
(Or if we don’t go all the way, at least second base?)
Watching “Shaft”!
I go daft
Watching “Shaft”!
In my timezone this updates at 8:01 pm everyday, but today it apparently updated later than that and updated on yahoo news first for some reason, or maybe something’s just wrong with the computer I’m using.
Profiling is pretty well-established as a junk science scam in real life (it’s mostly cold reading, and the famous Unabomber profile was written AFTER he was arrested), so I guess it makes a twisted kind of sense that in a cray fantasy world where conspiracy theories are true, cryptids are real and there really are shadow government agents spraying American towns with drugs, profiling would actually work. Huh.
Cold reading is fine as long as you acknowledge that’s what you’re doing. If you pretend it’s something else in order to take advantage of people (be it communicating with dead loved ones or solving crimes), I’m going to call you a LOT of things.
How is using a skill to solve crimes taking advantage of people? Also (as a hypothetical question) would you consider fake mediumship in order to comfort people rather than take their money (as in a shaman, say, if you dont believe in the supernatural) to be taking advantage?
So it did post twice—sorry—but something even weirder is going on. For a while, I could only see the replies to top-level posts on my iPhone, but not on my MacBook (both running Safari). But my filk, posted as a reply, wasn’t even showing up on my phone. Huh.
Well, the thing is all of those online surveys could be steering your will with their limited options for answers. That would slowly steer society’s collective will into those few select groups that the mad social scientist could control. What is more, using repeated tests, the mad sociologist could easily figure out who would be most vulnerable to brainwashing as opposed to those who were more rebellious- allowing the mad sociologist to enslave/ destroy them respectively.
Just food for thought.
THATS playing the long game – 2 years planning for a potential date….
Practically marriage. Especially since I’m in the habit of hiding cards and love-notes around the house. Longest known DATED one was hidden for about a year and a half. Others I have no idea when I hid them.
Well it might be a bit more of a double or nothing approach, this hypothetical mad social scientist could use said surveys to control the masses simply by gradually cooking the numbers of the groups that are most subservient to him or the easiest to control. If he reveals the results to the survey takers, eventually large scale peer pressure might cause more people to switch over to the bigger group. There would always be some holdouts, but you might be able to conquer the majority of the populace simply by making your side the most popular one to be on.
Playa.
Take notes.
There is smooth, there is really smooth, and then there is Tip.
I actually find this kind of sweet. I mean, it’s just provision of suitable entertainment, not an actual proposition. Yet.
Jagger just wishes he had the moves like Tip.
They’re probably have a mutual admiration thing going.

So fine it deserved the encore.
Very nicely done!
I’d be more effusive in my praise for the filk, but I tried some of the dance moves…
He could have scheduled “Jackie Brown” or some blaxploitation films from the 1970’s like “Superfly” or “Cleopatra Jones”.
Getting the disturbing impression that you think Shaft came out in 2000.

Wow. Three years. I forgot how long it’s been since he first met Tiger Lilly. How time flies.

So, is Tip gonna eventually awaken into a Mad Social Scientist? Because that sort of planning is pretty impressive.
I think he originally trained to be a profiler, so he should be good at predicting what people will do in the future.
Profiling is pretty well-established as a junk science scam in real life (it’s mostly cold reading, and the famous Unabomber profile was written AFTER he was arrested), so I guess it makes a twisted kind of sense that in a cray fantasy world where conspiracy theories are true, cryptids are real and there really are shadow government agents spraying American towns with drugs, profiling would actually work.

Hey, don’t knock cold reading. Very broadly applicable skill.
Cold reading is fine as long as you acknowledge that’s what you’re doing. If you pretend it’s something else in order to take advantage of people (be it communicating with dead loved ones or solving crimes), I’m going to call you a LOT of things.

Comments are weird all over WordPress-type sites lately, I think. 🙁
Stopped posting here through WordPress ’cause it kept taking away my capital letters.
Well, you could sue the manufacturer, but it wouldn’t go to the Supreme Court becuase it’s not a capital crime. (They’d consider it a lower case.)
Ow…
Mad social science, eh?

Mad sociology is so a real mad science.

Meant this as a reply to Nate FitzSimons
I completely concur, faceless fellow web wanderer!
Those personality quizzes rather scare me…
Kinda pictured Tigerlilly to be more of a “Cleopatra Jones” fan
Tip probably couldn’t persuade the theater to play it.
Then how about Casino of Gold?
I’ll take your word on it. That movie only has 3 out of 5 stars.
Okay that is a pretty impressive move, Tip.
