WORK SAMPLES

From 1997-2001, World Creative Supply was hired by Walt Disney Imagineering to help develop attraction names, slogans, sign copy, and other themed nomenclature for Disney's California Adventure theme park, which opened in 2001 at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California.

The park pays tribute to the state of California's diverse scenery, history, and culture.

Collaborating with WDI planners, designers, architects, and decorators, World Creative Supply invented names for many of the park's rides and restaurants, including The Orange Stinger, King Triton's Carrousel, Burger Invasion, Pizza Oom Mow Mow, Taste Pilots' Grill, Corn Dog Castle, and Catch-A-Flave Ice Cream.  We also named shops and retail stores, such as SideShow Shirts, Point Mugu Tattoo, Treasures In Paradise, and Dinosaur Jack's Sunglass Shack.

World Creative Supply also helped conceptualize the designs for several of the park's attractions, including the space-ship themed Burger Invasion restaurant and the S.S. Rustworthy play zone.

Our consultants/writers collaborated with WDI's creative team to script everything from menu text to themed graffiti.  In the Cowhenga Pass ball-toss game, we wrote----and painted!----farm-themed taglines for the booth, including phrases like "Just Moo It," "Steer Clear," and "There's Something About Dairy."

World Creative Supply also contributed copy for billboard taglines, poster slogans, interior signs, and visual gags for a number of areas and retail environments, including SideShow Shirts, Greetings From California, and Engine-Ears Toys. 

In addition to writing for the theme park itself, World Creative Supply was also hired to write ad copy, public relations materials, corporate presentations, and employee reference guides about the Disneyland Resort's parks, stores, and hotels.

In 2000, World Creative Supply was hired by Walt Disney Animation to write parody lyrics and develop musical plotlines for ABC/Disney's animated series "House Of Mouse."

The show stars Mickey Mouse in a nightclub populated with Disney characters.

In addition to writing new words to classic Disney songs, our creative team arranged the music tracks, recorded complete demos, and helped direct the animation voice-over actors in their recording studio performances.

World Creative Supply worked on a number of songs for the series, seven of which are available on the "Disney's House Of Mouse" soundtrack album.

World Creative Supply created, launched, and continues to manage the branding and marketing for Richard Cheese & Lounge Against The Machine, a popular band which performs lounge-style versions of rock and rap songs.

We invented the name of the character Richard Cheese, his swing band Lounge Against The Machine, and the alias names of his musicians, such as Bobby Ricotta, Frank Feta, Gordon Brie, Buddy Gouda, and Charles Limberger.  We also developed and designed all of the band's CD titles (such as Tuxicity and Lavapalooza), album covers, artwork, and liner notes.  We also wrote all website content/copy, press releases, and promotional material.

World Creative Supply also developed imaging and merchandising for the band, including Martini Hero T-shirts, "Tomorrow's Standards Today" posters, and the iconic Welcome To Fabulous Richard Cheese logo (above).

We also maintain the on-line marketing and social networking presence for the act, writing promotional copy and daily FaceBook status update posts to promote the artist to fan club members.

World Creative Supply is currently developing a new spinoff band, "Richard Cheese Presents:  Johnny Aloha and Lavapalooza."

At NBC from 1996-2000, World Creative Supply created parody songs and promo spots for the network's on-air promotions department.

We wrote parody lyrics, created network jingles, and helped edit network promos and interstitial programming.  We created award-winning parodies about sitcoms like "Friends," "Will & Grace," "Frasier," and "Just Shoot Me," as well as special song montages for airings of "Jurassic Park" and "Twister."

Our acclaimed promo spots ran regularly during NBC's "Must See TV" primetime lineup, and even aired during the Super Bowl.

Our parodies inspired NBC to create "Johnny Chimes," a digitally-animated singing peacock mascot, who sang parodies about NBC shows.  The character was used extensively in on-air promos, and World Creative Supply earned a Promax Muse Award for its production of an NBC Johnny Chimes Affiliate Marketing Presentation.

World Creative Supply provided writing services to the on-air promo departments of the TVLand and Nick At Nite networks from 1992-1997.

At Nick At Nite, we invented all-new lyrics to popular TV sitcom theme songs, including "The Dick Van Dyke Show," "The Bob Newhart Show," and "Bewitched."  We also created an entire parody song about "I Dream Of Jeannie," sung to the tune of Suzanne Vega's hit song "Tom's Diner."  These parodies were written, recorded, and produced by World Creative Supply, and then music video promos were cut for each one.

We also developed interstitial programming segments for TVLand network specials, wrote the "Taxi" chapter for the "Nick At Nite Classic TV Companion" book, and created themed jingles and spots for series programming blocks.

CLIENTS/AWARDS

Below is an excerpt from President Clinton's April 10, 1997 address to the Radio And Television Correspondents Association Dinner in Washington, D.C.  World Creative Supply's contributions to the speech are indicated in blue.

At the time of this speech in 1997, President Clinton was suffering from a recent knee injury, and meanwhile, former President George H.W. Bush had just made headlines by skydiving at the age of 72.

The President:
Thank you.  Thank you very much.  Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, members of Congress, members of the press, fellow sufferers.  (Laughter.)  I would like to thank the Radio and Television Correspondents Association for inviting me this evening.  I want to give Terry Murphy a special thanks for the kind introduction and, also, given my condition, I'd like to give a special thank-you to the Ridgewell Catering Company for bringing me here tonight.  (Laughter.)  Enough laughs.

I have come here tonight to speak about a topic of perennial concern in Washington, something we never get around to doing anything about.  And that is the close, some would even say cozy relationship, between the rarified elite who make public policy and those who report on it.  And on that topic, just let me say this:  Congratulations, Andrea.  (Laughter and applause.)

You know, that fella standing next to you in the newspaper photos a few days ago -- (laughter) -- he looked exactly like Alan Greenspan, only exuberant.  (Laughter and applause.)  I want all of you to know that, until recently, I had planned out a really dramatic entrance to this dinner. (Laughter.)  And then, George Bush stole my thunder.  (Laughter.)  I mean, look at this -- this guy is 72 years old, he jumps out of a plane at 12,000 feet, he lands without a scratch.  (Laughter.)  I fall six inches, and I'm crippled up for six months.  It's ridiculous.  (Applause.)

Now, as you might imagine, my injured knee adds complications to
my schedule. In fact, you know, just when I was on the way over here tonight ----

<Mike McCurry enters, hands President note>

As you have seen, my press secretary, Mike McCurry, just handed me a note.
<reads note>
According to wire reports, former President Bush has just bungee jumped off the Seattle Space Needle.
(Laughter.)

That reminds me -- I was supposed to make another announcement tonight.  Mr. Murphy has asked me to tell you that the Radio and Television Correspondents Association has decided to adopt the practices of the Democratic National Committee.  (Laughter.)  That means you can all pick up your $1,000 refund checks on the way out tonight.  (Laughter and applause.)

You know, I'm getting a little sick of these fundraising stories. (Laughter.)  But here I am, I'm doing the best to do the job the American people sent me here to do.  But with all this ruckus in Washington these days, we have to work harder and harder to sort of be heard through the din.  So my staff worked up a few new ideas that we thought might break through.  I want you to be the judge.  After all, it's your din.  (Laughter.)

Here are the suggestions:  Take a cue from the TV show, "Ellen."  Start a rumor that in the last presidential press conference of the season, my character will become a libertarian.  (Laughter.)  Announce that we've discovered signs of life on Mars.  We already tried that, and some of you bought it; I couldn't believe it.  (Laughter and applause.)  Announce that I will fight Evander Holyfield.  (Laughter.)  Anytime, anyplace. (Laughter.)

Here's the Vice President's suggestion.  Sign an executive order hiring people on welfare to install computers in our nation's classrooms, to e-mail messages to neighborhood watch volunteers, to use their cell phones to call 100,000 community police officers, to remind the 1 million literacy tutors to show up for work.  (Laughter and applause.)  If all else fails, push myself down a flight of stairs.  (Laughter.)  As you know, that's the one we decided to go with.  (Laughter.)  It worked for a while and I would do it again.  I may have to.  (Laughter.)

<Mike McCurry enters, hands President another note>

Thank you very much, Mike.
<reads note>
(Laughter.)
Ladies and gentlemen, you will be pleased to learn that former President Bush -- (laughter) -- has just successfully jumped the Snake River Canyon on a rocket-powered motorcycle.  (Laughter and applause.)  Now, he's just taunting me. (Laughter.)

You know, one of the results of being bummed up for while is that I've gotten to watch a lot more television than normal, and I spent a day in the hospital just sort of channel-flipping, "surfing," that's what you call it now.  And I was amazed at the way all these different channels struggled to accurately but uniquely cover my surgery. (Laughter.)

C-Span, of course, provided live, uninterrupted coverage of my injured knee -- (laughter) -- while C-Span 2 devoted full coverage to my other knee.  (Laughter and applause.)  Within an hour of the accident, CNN had composed ominous theme music -- (laughter) -- and put up a graphic, "Breaking News, Breaking Knees." (Laughter and applause.)

I knew it was going to be a major story when their "Headline News" devoted a full five seconds to it. (Laughter.)  MSNBC immediately proclaimed itself the state-of-the-art global interactive command center for all leg-related news.  (Laughter.)  ESPN broke into the North Carolina-Colorado basketball game with a breathless bulletin that Greg Norman was just fine.  (Laughter and applause.)  PBS kept interrupting coverage of my knee for pledge drives.  (Laughter.)  For every $100 donation, you got a commemorative X-ray of my leg.  (Laughter.)  Bob Novak went on "Crossfire" to argue the positive aspects of debilitating knee injuries for Democrats.  (Laughter.)  And then, there was MTV. All they wanted to know was, did I wear a hospital gown or pajamas.  (Laughter.)

<Mike McCurry enters, hands President a third note>

Mr. Mccurry:
Another one.

The President:
Thank you, Mike.  (Laughter.)
<reads note>
Ladies and gentlemen, President Bush has just had himself manacled, placed inside a padlocked trunk -- (laughter) -- and submerged off the coast of Kennebunkport.  (Laughter.)  The clock is ticking. (Laughter.)  Our prayers are with him. (Laughter.)

Radio And Television Correspondents Association Dinner
Washington, D.C.
April 10, 1997

In 2000, World Creative Supply was hired to compose parody song lyrics for ABC/Disney's animated Saturday morning series "House Of Mouse."  Here are the lyrics to some of the parodies from the show, which can also be heard on the series soundtrack album.

"Soup Or Salad, Fries Or Biscuits, Extra Olives, Donuts"  [click for MP3]
(sung to the tune of "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" from Mary Poppins)
Performed by headwaiter Goofy and his son Max, a waiter-in-training

It's
Soup or salad, fries or biscuits, extra olives, donuts
Know the menu of this venue, do not be a slow klutz
Get the order right or else the customers will go nuts
Soup or salad, fries or biscuits, extra olives, donuts

The guy at table twenty wants some honey for his green peas
Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, and hold the--yech!--anchovies
Who would order pizza with no crust, no sauce, and no cheese?
Soup or salad, fries or biscuits, extra olives--check please

GOOFY: This job's pretty tough!
MAX: Not as tough as the steak!

So even if they tell you that they want some heated coldcuts
Or some mustard mixed with custard in which to dip who knows whats
A waiter's work is never done, no if's, no and's, no but's
Soup or salad, fries or biscuits, extra olives, donuts!

"I Wanna Be Like M-O-You"  [click for MP3]
(sung to the tune of "I Wanna Be Like You" from The Jungle Book)
Performed by King Larry as he praises Mickey Mouse

LARRY: Now I may be the king of the jungle
But around here I've been a fool
I dig the mouse, that gigs in this house
I wish I could be so cool

Oh, M.M., what's your secret?
How've you done it all these years?
Tell me the scoop, give me the mouse poop,
Hey, Mickey, I'm all ears

Oh Mickey ooh (M-I-C)
I wanna be like M-O-you (K-E-Y)
I wanna sing like you (ooh)
Swing like you (ooh)
Too ooh ooh (Why because we like you)
Mickey it's true ooh ooh (M O U S E)
A monkey like me (M O N K E Y)
Wants to learn to be, like that mouse Mickey

MICKEY: Aw, king Larry, don't you worry
Just be yourself, that's all
Don't jump around, relax, sit down
And please don't climb up the wall <crash>

LARRY: Whoa, I'll be on my best behavior
I'll get dressed and comb my hair
I'll sit upright, and act polite
And leave the jungle "out there"

LARRY: M I C (K E Y)
I wanna be like thee hee hee (M O U S E)
I wanna hang out with you (ooh)
And Minnie too (ooh)
She's so cool (MINNIE MINNIE)

MICKEY: King Larry you hoo hoo (KING LARRY LARRY)
Are royally hee hee (M O U S E)
The king of cool, and that's cool by me

LARRY: Take me home, mousie!
Just be cool, like that mouse mickey

MICKEY: One more time!

ALL: I wanna be cool, and that's cool by me

"A Parrot's Life For Me"
(sung to the tune of "A Pirate's Life For Me")
Performed by Iago the Parrot about bird gossip

IAGO:  "Alright, you birdbrains, hit it!"

Yo ho, yo ho, a parrot's life for me
We chirp and we sing, we repeat everything
We talk and squawk and squeal
We gossip and chat, we chew the fat
And have crackers at every meal

Iago says so, a parrot's life for me
Take it from a bird, don't believe what you heard
Not every rumor is true
Our feathers flap, while we yap, yap, yap
'Til our beaks are turning blue

This blabbermouth is flying South, a parrot's life for me

"You Can Fly, You Can Fly"
(sung to the tune of "You Can Fly" from Peter Pan)
Performed by Donald Duck as Peter pan teaches him to fly

PETER PAN:  Don't be chicken, you're a duck
If you wanna learn to fly, you're in luck
All you have to do is trust me
Okay, Tinkerbell----Pixie-Dust me!

PETER:  Just think of a wonderful thought
DONALD:  Any happy little thought?
PETER:  Like sailing on the ocean blue, or Daisy Duck in love with you
And in the blink of an eye
You can fly!
DONALD:  I can fly!
LOST BOYS:  He can fly!
PETER:  You can fly!
DONALD:  I can--aw, nuts!

PETER:  Alright, get off the floor
Let's try it once more

Just lift your tail and your beak, now you're aero-dynamique
You can soar to dizzy heights, and finally see your name in lights
CAPTAIN HOOK:  Hey, there's a duck in the sky!
DONALD:  I can fly!
GOOFY:  He can fly!
DONALD:  I can fly!
PETER:  You can fly!
DONALD:  I can fly!

ALL:  You can fly, you can fly, you can fly, you can fly, you can fly!
