Spam As Folk Art for 2006 September 1

In a world of fragmented pop culture, spam is the only mass media left. Everyone gets spam; more importantly, everyone gets everyone's spam. It's a completely shared experience, mediated only by the quality of your filter.

Shared experiences filter out into the larger culture. Faithful readers are familiar with Outside the Inbox and other examples of music inspired by spam. I think it's time to take it a step further and make spam into a big-budget Broadway musical. I was inspired by a spam I got today ("rufous is strabismus but ibm", which has a Singing in the Rain feel to it), which started out:

M0RTGGAGE
We make it happen everyday.

With a little work this turns into the opening song:

M0RTGGAGE!
We make it happen everyday!
M0RTGGAGE!
You want a house, you got to pay!
M0RTGGAGE!
Come on and sign your life away!
M0RTGGAGE!

After I came up with this idea Sumana was reading her morning websites:

"Wait, why am I reading Websnark?"
"M0RTGGAGE! We make it--"
"What are you doing?"
"See, Spam!: The Musical is not like other musicals..."
