Original Post:
Since burning out on the blogosphere, I've buried my head in my Wednesday morning radio show, and my radio show has somehow become obsessed with a little piece of audio officially known as "Learn to Speak Hawaiian," but more commonly referred to as "Corn Weenie."
Download or listen to it here: Corn Weenie
Your mission is to remix this little gem and mail the remix or a link to it to me at ken at wfmu dot org. I'll post the remixes here and play them on my Wednesday morning show on February 11th and February 18th. So get them to me by February 10th18th if you can.
Follow the jump for the backstory on this masterpiece:
"Learn How to Speak Hawaiian" was brought to the attention of planet earth by Vic Perry, who posted it as part of Otis Fodder's 365 Days 2007 series. The original blog post is here.
Michael Proft, a musician, painter and film projectionist at San Diego's Ken cinema recorded this onto a cassette in the mid-Eighties, although the original purpose of the recording is still a mystery. Proft is exhorting over the track "Haun Melee" (Sway with Me) by Mohammed el Bakkar from his 1957 LP "Port Said." Tamure" by Charles Mauu & The Royal Polynesians . You can see Proft's paintings here.
Please, someone write Michael, let him know the joy and annoyance he has brought to us all and let's sign him up for an exclusive WFMU voiceover contract.
Now download the track and get mixing!
Who knew that Corn Weenie would touch so many people's lives. To be honest I'm not sure how Michael is going to feel about being an internet remix sensation, since he kinda hates all things computer-y. I'm going to show this to him and let him listen to your show. I hope he will be as amused as I'm sure I will be.
As to why he did it... well, I don't want to ruin the mystery!

What email address should we send the remix to?
Posted by: Greg | February 09, 2009 at 02:26 PM
Mine is in the bag. Or in the email. Or something.
This will be a mighty apocalypse. Say it.

I don't usually go for internet memes, but .... please can someone talented do a corn weenie version of the Adolf Hitler clip from Downfall?! "Are you dancing?! Get back in your seat!"

Unless I've missed it, has anyone mixed "Corn Weenie" into Ken fave "Barra Barra"? I can hear how I'd do it in my head. . . . if only I had the gear. And skill. And talent.

Listener James, when I toyed with a nu-metal version of Corn Weenie, I was working with a loop of Barra Barra, but I went in another direction....

@ Rokhausen - genuinely lol!

Isn't the Corn Weenie song the same as the Subway "five dollar... five dollar foooooot loooong" song?
I think I smell a law suit?

These are fantastic!!! REally great job on all of them.. there is nothing like doing long driving runs at work Wensday mornings.. and being bewildered at Corn Weenies on my radio.. Oddly Ive begun to rely on Corn Weenies to get me through the morning.. Im going to miss them once the contest is officially over but i hope the remixs still get played.. Wensdays will never be the same, since Corn Weenies came into my life and left.
Is it better to have Corn Weenied and lost, than to have never Corn Weenied at all?
Goodnight,
Peter.
