This post is actually dedicated to my friend Franny. To understand it better, you need these two pop culture references. First off, if nobody remembers the ancient Killers' song, "Somebody Told Me," here's a refresher:
Secondly, in season 5 of Project Runway, there was a designer named Stella who worked in "Leathuh." Here is an example of how she talked:
Her awesomeness is still too unique to be forgotten. So, in fit of drinking wine and random inspiration, the Killers song came on and I realized that a Stella parody fit really easily into the current lyrics. So here's my redux.
Stella "Somebody Told Me" Redux
I’m breaking my back just to sew this cow-hide
Seven challenges and I’ve had it with this ride
Breaking my back just to sew this cow-hide
But heaven is close in Parsons School
100,000 dollars for my own line, fool
Heaven is close in Parsons School
Heaven is close in Parsons School
Bring the hammer down, bring the hammer down
Gonna smash some grommets into this gown
My name is Stella
I work in Leatha
I make love to Rat Bones
So don’t you throw stones
Or metal grommets
Cuz I’ll make you vomit
It’s all about Leatha
Leatha…leatha
Ready? Let’s sew into something new
Model’s clothes so tight she’s turning a little blue
Heaven is close in Parsons School
Heaven is close in Parsons School
Bring the hammer down, bring the hammer down
Gonna smash some grommets into this gown
My name is Stella
I work in Leatha
I make love to Rat Bones
So don’t you throw stones
Or metal grommets
Cuz I’ll make you vomit
It’s all about Leatha
Leatha…leatha
Tim Gunn, please let me be
Cuz I’m working for Rat Bones, baby
Mood, give me some more leatha
And tell me it ain’t pleatha
(x3)
My name is Stella
I work in Leatha
I make love to Rat Bones
So don’t you throw stones
Or metal grommets
Cuz I’ll make you vomit
It’s all about Leatha
Leatha…leatha

ReplyDeleteThat is fantastic!!! Kelly, you HAVE to email me when you post something this great on your blog. Or maybe there's a way to get the blog to email me. I'll investigate. Anyway, that redux is genius. Oh Stella, what an ispiration. "I like to work with leatha..."
I think there should be a video of franny quoting stella as well, just to make it complete.
