juju27 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 HELP I NEED THE MFC FAMILY! I know this might sound out of place, but i don't know who to ask, except only true fan members of MIKA's would probably know! Hello everyone, I am in need of serious comments from all of you, who admire oh so much, I am applying to college as many of us are, and they asked for a specific question for an essay topic: 'Humor, wit, and irony are often part of what are mostly serious matters. Choose a public figure, a fictional character, a novel film, television show, piece of music, song... and talk about the use of humor as a way to achieve a more serious goal. why did this person, author, writer choose humor? How does the humor affect the whole? what does the whole do for the humor?" AND SO I WANTED TO DO ONE ABOUT MIKA'S SONG, I DONT KNOW WHICH ONE, ANY IDEAS? I THOUGH ABOUT BIG GIRLS? BUT DOES IT REALLY HAVE HUMOR? THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH WITH ALL MY LOVE <3 JUSTINE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollipop_monkey Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Hey hun, I moved your thread out of the "Chat about Mika" section and into "General Chin Wagging" - since this isn't really about Mika, as much as it is about your essay. I would recommend doing it on Lollipop - Mika uses his subtle lyrics "sucking too hard on your lollipop" and such to add humour to the serious goal of discouraging his little sister from having sex. You could even talk about how that song is done live, with the animal play and costumes. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nico_collard Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Oooooh... interesting topic! I agree with Mana... Lollipop would be a great choice, especially seeing as he's talked about it a bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racinghorse83 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 i also agree that lollipop is the best choice. check out the live ICM DVD, he talks alot about it on there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juju27 Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 Thank you all so much for answering me back, but the problem is that, since it's for a college paper I am afraid that it night a it to much for them, what do you guys think?

Fmbm Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I say go for it anyways. If it's "too much" for them then they have no sense of humor and you shouldn't go there Just explain the song tastefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superstar Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 If not lollipop, maybe Holy Johnny..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soaring Simpson Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Or even Grace Kelly? There are interviews where MIka talks about how he was using the comedy of the absurd to drive his point home. Then there's added humour/ debate in that it gets taken seriously. And he performs it seriously. And people at college might know the song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
