Well, howdy there, y’all! Today, I’m gonna jaw about this thing called “spank you very much. entertainment design.” Don’t rightly know what all them fancy words mean, but I’ll tell ya what I reckon it’s about.
Now, they got this music thing, see? Spank Machine, they call it. Sounds like a whole lotta noise to me, but folks seem to like it. They got this album called “Spank You Very Much” that came out not too long ago. Been thirty years since they made it, though. Can you believe that? Thirty years! That’s longer than I’ve had my ol’ milk cow, Bessie!
They say it’s got 13 songs and lasts for about 41 minutes. That’s a good long time to be listenin’ to somethin’. I reckon you could get a whole lotta chores done in that time. Could probably milk Bessie, slop the hogs, and even churn some butter, all while listenin’ to that “Spank You Very Much” thing.
Anyways, this music ain’t just for chores, I hear. They say it’s for havin’ a “stir and a bit of a laugh.” Well, I guess that’s alright. We all need a good laugh now and then, especially after all this rain we been havin’. Makes the ground so soggy you can barely walk without gettin’ your boots stuck.
But there’s more to this “entertainment design” than just music, it seems. They got this show, too. A “pun-heavy musical performance,” they call it. It’s called “SPANK! The Fifty Shades Parody.” Now, I ain’t never read no “Fifty Shades of Grey,” but I hear it’s a book about some fella and a gal. Sounds scandalous to me, but folks seem to like it.

- They got this show in a big ol’ place called the Paramount Theatre.
- I reckon it’s like them pictures they show at the picture show, but with singin’ and dancin’.
- They say it’s a lot like that book, but, you know, funnier. Puns, they call ’em. I guess that’s like them jokes that play on words.
And then there’s this here film, a movin’ picture show they call it. Stars Maggie Gyllenhaal and James Spader, whoever they are. It’s about this lawyer fella and his secretary gal, and they got a “intense relationship.” Sounds like a whole lotta drama to me. I prefer a good ol’ Western myself, with cowboys and horses and shootouts. But I guess some folks like this kinda thing.
So, this “spank you very much. entertainment design” thing, it’s a whole bunch of stuff, ain’t it? Music, shows, movies…all kinda things to keep folks entertained. I reckon it’s alright, as long as it ain’t hurtin’ nobody. We all need a little somethin’ to take our minds off things, whether it’s listenin’ to music, watchin’ a show, or just sittin’ on the porch swingin’ and watchin’ the chickens peck.
I still don’t rightly know what “entertainment design” means, but it sounds like it’s just a fancy way of sayin’ “havin’ fun.” And there ain’t nothin’ wrong with havin’ fun, long as you don’t forget your chores. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on Bessie. She’s probably wonderin’ where her supper is. And maybe I’ll even put on that “Spank You Very Much” music while I’m at it. Might just give me a good laugh, like they say.
But I tell you what, this “spank you very much” thing, it sure is popular. Folks seem to be listenin’ to it, watchin’ it, and talkin’ about it. So, I guess there must be somethin’ to it, even if I don’t rightly understand it all. Maybe I’m just gettin’ too old for this newfangled stuff. But as long as folks are happy and ain’t causin’ no trouble, I reckon it’s alright.
And that’s all I gotta say ‘bout that whole “spank you very much. entertainment design” thing. Hope it made some sense to ya. Now, go on and have yourselves a good day, ya hear?
