Sub-Zero and Gemini

Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat.

Gemini, a song by Spongecola.

What's the common denominator between the two?

Think for a moment.

The answer:
Both have spawned a whole army of clones!

Sub-Zero is the blue, ice ninja from Mortal Kombat, and one of the 2 original ninjas in MK, together with Scorpion. 3 if you count Reptile as an original ninja.

They were only 2 (or 3). Then came the clones. The red ninja called Ermac. The gray ninja called Smoke. The black ninja called Noob Saibot. The light blue (or is it light green) ninja called Rain. They came, they saw, they padded the cast of a videogame.

The only difference the ninjas had with each other were the names and the colors of their ninja costumes. What a way to create characters! Default body, paint bucket, name corresponding to color.. Voila! New character named Pink Floyd! Funny for a while, irritating in the long run.

What about Gemini?

I liked the original version. I listened to my Spongecola CD a lot earlier this year. Then came the acoustic, or live version. Then came the piano version.

Come on guys! How many ways can you redo a song anyway? The lyrics are getting stale, the vocals are definitely stale, and the song is starting to grind on the ears.

Rehashing a song over and over seems to be the height of laziness. Just what is Spongecola doing these days? Besides clone themselves over and over and over..
