Selling Ellipse on eBay
From Tyler Zahnke
"Selling Ellipse on eBay" is the name of my sixth comedy bit. It is a parody of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonny Tyler. The song is all about Imogen Heap's 2009 album, "Ellipse", being sold on eBay by some reviewers before it was released to the public.
Lyrics
(Oh my loop) Every now and then, I check a series of websites just to see when the new album comes out. (Oh my loop) Every now and then I go around the Internet to see what the new album's about. (Oh my loop) Every now and then I get a little bit worried something's happening to Imogen Heap. (Oh my loop) Every now and then I get a little bit bored and I try not to fall asleep. (Oh my loop, oh, me!) Every now and then I check the sites. (Oh my loop, oh, me!) Every now and then I check the sites. (Oh my loop) Every now and then I look at Imogen's website just to see how things are going along. (Oh my loop) Every now and then I look at Imogen's Facebook just to see if anything is wrong. (Oh my loop) Every now and then I get a little bit worried that the album will not come out on time. (Oh my loop) Just the other day I did a little more research, and I found out everything is fine. (Oh my loop, oh, me!) Every now and then I check the sites. (Oh my loop, oh, me) Every now and then I check the sites. Don't have to wait another minute. They are already doing bidding. And I just hope that I can win it, No, seriously! I'm not kidding! And everything will be all right, I just have to admit. When this brand new album comes out in stores, All the Mini Immi's will be begging for more. I won't know what to say if I get the CD. I'll probably jump up and down while shouting "Whoopee!" I'm feeling happy tonight, and everything will be all right, I just hope that I can win. Every now and then, when I check the sites, I just don't know what to say, "There's Imogen Heap, selling Ellipse on eBay." Every now and then when I go on the web, I say "What the heck, no way! Thanks Imogen Heap, for selling Ellipse on eBay!" (Oh my loop, oh, me!) Every now and then I check the sites. (Oh my loop, oh, me) Every now and then I check the sites. Don't have to wait another minute. They are already doing bidding. And I just hope that I can win it, No, seriously! I'm not kidding! And everything will be all right, I just have to admit. When this brand new album comes out in stores, All the Mini Immi's will be begging for more. I won't know what to say if I get the CD. I'll probably jump up and down while shouting "Whoopee!" I'm feeling happy tonight, and everything will be all right, I just hope that I can win. Every now and then, when I check the sites, I just don't know what to say, "There's Imogen Heap, selling Ellipse on eBay." Every now and then when I go on the web, I say "What the heck, no way! Thanks Imogen Heap, for selling Ellipse on eBay! Selling Ellipse on eBay! Selling Ellipse on eBay!"

This comedy bit is currently not available as an audio file, on the Digital Demo Tape or elsewhere. It will be on my first CD, "Spoof Loops", which will be released somewhere between 2012 and 2015.
