It’s incredibly cold here now, and it reminded me that last winter I started a movie and never finished it. It has sat on my computer until tonight, when I drew up the last cartoons for it and just got it over with. “Good enough for who it’s for” and all that.
In reality, I had to just get it out there because it’s irrelevant now. It’s a gripping documentary about how cold I keep our house in winter, except now that the new windows are in, I am allowing degrees and degrees more heat to be BTU’d around here. (Like – two of them!) Also, now you know about the nose warmer.
Here is a list of things that are wrong with this movie:
1. It does not star Julia Roberts and Adrian Grenier, who are our preferred stand-ins.
2. Lloyd doesn’t like how he’s singing.
3. I don’t like how I’m singing.
4. I think Lloyd doesn’t like how I’m singing.
5. The drawings are terrible.
6. There are no transitions and the timing is off.
7. I have some typos because I forgot how the song went.
8. There is a LOT of white-out on those drawings, but not enough.
All that being said, here it is: Baby, It’s Cold Inside.
Brad says
Ha! It’s excellent!
I had to google Adrian Grenier, but once I saw his picture, I remembered him from the “Britney Spears: Greatest Hits – My Prerogative” video.
(Holy cow! Did you know that’s how you spell “prerogative”? I always thought it was “perogative”. Wow! My mind is blown!)
Lloyd says
I’m still trying to process this sentence: I remembered him from the “Britney Spears: Greatest Hits – My Prerogative” video.
Brad says
Hehe… I went to IMDb to see what he had been in. I did actually see “The Devil Wears Prada”, but I hadn’t seen the other things – not even the Britney Spears video.
Nigel says
THAT was super adorable!!!!! Really, really good fun. Well done the pair of you.
Lloyd says
Sorry, The Internets.
Karla says
That was great! I thought of Nigel and his thong when Lauren was holding out the nose warmer… Hehehe
Charles says
I think it’s Great! (So much so I delayed my departure for work!) I posted it on my facebook for all to enjoy!
Peggy says
Now you’re gonna owe royalties.
Lloyd says
Cool. I’ve always wanted to be royalty.
Kristi says
Pure genius!
The ukulele sound makes me feel all WARM inside.
Rae says
You guys ROCK. When will the iTune whoops, I mean iLloyd version come out. I want to put it on our Christmas CD.
Peggy says
I agree with all of the above! Absolutely magnificant!!
You two can sing up a storm….we want more, we want more!!
(btw: Were you both wearing elf costumes when you sang, or is that too personal of a question?)
Kristi says
An Instant Winter Classic!
Peggy says
PS–I would LOVE to have your singing voice Lauren!!!!!
(or yours Lloyd)
Lauren's dad says
I’m sure glad to be related to you two!
Nate says
good stuff guys…loved it
Deborah says
You made my day!
Roberta says
Love it!
Lauren says
Thank you for the kind words, everyone! 🙂
Peggy – no elf costumes, but I’m pretty sure Lloyd was wearing a parka during the recording session.
Kitt says
Well, that’s pretty awesome.
Kim says
The Marxhausens LOVE it.
Annette says
Love. It!
m says
That was adorable…but I don’t want to show it to my husband because we keep our house at 56F and I know he’d be jealous…No one should be able to complain about 65F–that’s like, my mother’s house!
Kristi says
Still a classic!
