Macaulay Culkin

Macaulay Culkin, the former child star best known for the Home Alone movie franchise, was thrust back into the spotlight in 2013 when word of a parody band he was playing with broke. The Pizza Underground plays medleys of Velvet Underground parodies, substituting the actual lyrics for ones about pizza. Though Macaulay Culkin and the band have amassed some controversy by fans of VU who feel the band is marring VU’s legacy, the music is all in good fun and completely non-serious. In fact, the band gets in a few pretty good jokes related to eating pizza. Here are just eight of Macaulay Culkin and the Pizza Underground’s funniest lyrics, guaranteed to make you crack a smile. Number Eight: ‘Papa John Says’ Lyric: “But I didn’t want anchovies/ The people called and they said no mushrooms/ This pie’s cold and there’s mushrooms/ Get them off my pie.” A parody of The Velvet Underground’s “Stephanie Says,”…

Popculture Portrays Children As Being Carefree When I was growing up, I remember being reckless, and not having a care in the world. I didn’t care about getting hurt or getting in trouble because I did not know many dangers of the world. I would do whatever my older brother and his friends told me to do. I would always end up getting hurt if they told me to do something such as them swinging me back and forth by my hands and…

Star Wars millions only added fuel to the sexual fire. Mark Hamill has been infamously unable to recreate the success he experienced with Star Wars. In the many decades which have passed since the release of the movie, the former Jedi’s hair has thinned out and his face has wrinkled, which he has attempted to hide with a grey beard. His body, which was at one time the envy of all men, is sagging and certainly not the kind of physique one would need to defeat Darth Vader and his gaggle of…

introduces the Arvizo children and they talk happily about Gavin's unexpected recovery from cancer. Then Gavin and Jackson are interviewed together, Gavin holding Jackson's hand and at one point resting his head on Jackson's shoulder. At the trial, Gavin testified that Jackson initiated the hand-holding, but that he had put his head on Jackson's shoulder because he was "really close to Jackson" and Jackson was his "best friend." In the video, Gavin tells Bashir about a night when he slept in…

“Man in the Mirror” is a narrative video due to the fact that Jackson doesn’t appear in the music video. The video began with a scene of two children appearing to suffer poverty. This presents the audience’s value to help save the world by positioning them to feel sympathetic. The “Black or White” video starts off as a narrative. The interlude started off with Culkin jamming to music which then annoys his father. A picture of Jackson is smashed when his father closes the door so he eventually…

need to celebrate ourselves as morally worthy individuals by spending money of material goods. Americans had heroes in both sports and on the silver screen and we became intoxicated by the possibilities of ourselves (Jacobo). The quotation stated that many modern Americans are much more open-minded to new possibilities as we are looking to build a better image of ourselves. Indeed, rebellious individuality is drawn to drugs. Individuality has been in the US since its birth. It is written in…

events leading to the stock market crash and the economy of America to plummet. Because of this, people were forced to found cheap ways of entertainment to keep themselves occupied. These include books, radio shows, miniature golf, concerts, magic shows, and baseball games which were surprisingly cheap at the time. Also, since electricity was so expensive, people went to laundromats to wash their clothes because it was a much cheaper option. However, many people were poverty struck and forced to…

Oh and Mother Teresa, Macaulay Culkin, James Harden, and Keke Palmer were born on that date, as well. But most important is me. This is MY narrative- after all. In the year 2000, our parents and older siblings all survived Y2K, the first bluetooth earpiece was invented, the average cost of gas was $1.26 per gallon, and Tiger Woods became the youngest player to win a grand slam in golf.
