Rene Zellwegger

Liner Notes
Sorry to do this to you @lamerabbit as a hard rocking musician from Finland (I'm from the UK) - the ideas came to me, with rock cadence from the soup of geeky Nordic lore that sits in my brain. Norwegian based here. The fruit of Wikipedia deep dives. I can start again if you don't like it! Dolly Parton said find out who you are and do it on purpose. Also there's no politics in the song apart from acknowledging heritage and history but there's another song about Zellwegger written by an Israeli after he watched Jerry Maguire - I'd already mostly written the song when I found out. But it's not at all about that! I worried about any political conflicts re the decimation of Gaza and Palestinians and other more than questionable plans mooted by various politicians - but the song was written, I don't know Zellwegger's or the other singwriter's stances, perhaps they're not relevant, but I thought a heads up is warranted. I use words stronger than decimated that are controversial for some but I don't really know your stances. Perhaps it doesn't matter. It's just a song about an actress and Nordic British American stories and threads, the world of complications and remixes in a light-hearted blend of metal and whimsy. Your pronunciation of the old Norwegian name for the Hebrides and Mann is your pronunciation - it kinda goes with the twisty turny remixing thing. But on Zellwegger's article her mother's ethnicity is given as the preferred terms currently used in English but I edited to the Finnish to acknowledge you: I hope this isn't a total mess, or offensive.!?
Lame Rabbit says: well @br0th3rh00d , it's all your fault now! Have a looksie how horribly I have sinned. Feel free to make it public if you can stomach it.
The reply: we're this far in, why not! Here's a YouTube short from a week ago to explain the parts that aren't Zellwegger! https://youtube.com/shorts/31Q5KO3LzPE?is=s6kaqYERR90GJnGJ

This is quirky, fabulous, and crazy good! What a wonderfully expressive cornucopia of sounds! This sounds like it would have been so much fun to create! Art at its finest and funniest!
I just rewatched Four Weddings and a Funeral with my daughter. I had hated it so much when I was 24 - and it was still bizarre but I don’t know whether I even realized it was supposed to be funny. Somehow this piece feels like it could have been the soundtrack to my reactions then and now.
