Fredrick the Forever Fish

This is where we update our progress in Forever Fish parodies.

Unconditionally

Although not quite a parody, we wanted to test out the green screen's capabilities and figured we could take a break from writing parodies and simply just enjoy making a cool video. We shot this in under 5 minutes, all in one take, and made the mistake of not using a tripod - oops! Nonetheless, Unconditionally is a beautiful song and we ended up creating a beautiful movie from it - especially the scenes with the wind blowing in Gigi's hair!

Love Me Like a Fish

Love Me Like a Fish is a parody to Love Me Like You Do by Ellie Gouldberg, featuring the same fish from "The Fish That Got Away." This is a story again of Gigi and Fredrick, where Gigi is expressing her undying love for the fish. Midway through the video, you get to watch I turns herself into a fish so her and Fredrick can be together forever. This story occurs after the story of The Fish That Got Away, and is in the time where Gigi has found Fredrick and love each other so much Gigi drinks a elixir that turns herself into a mermaid. This video is not formatted like The Fish That Got Away, however. There is no flashbacks in this video. Rather, it is just Gigi singing in various areas in many costumes. I would say this video came out much better than our first video and very excited to produce it. It the meantime, enjoy these pictures and videos on our production of the film!

One of the videos in the introlude. The wind was perfect for this scene
and so was the lighting.
Gigi singing the whole song without
a mic. This scene had a beautiful
position with the sun.

to show how she feels about Fredrick.

Lyrics

You're a fish, I'm a girl
You're the color of orange
I have legs, you have fins
You're the only thing I want to love
You can be my fuzzy glove
Glove
You're a fish, I don't care
Cause I want to be with you
Follow me, to the sea
Let me take you past our coral reef
You can meet my best friend Gary
Gary
So love me like a fish
L-l-love me like a fish
Love me like a fish
L-l-love me like a fish
I'll turn into a fish
Turn, turn, turn into a fish
Where do you wanna swim?
Swimming right, swimming left
On the edge of our coral reef
Then we'll crash, into a rock
We'll turn into a lardfish
I don't care if you're ugly
Ugly
Yeah, I'll let you meet Gary
He really loves snail day
His head's a block of cheese
I can't swim no more
What are we gonna do?
Love me like a fish
L-l-love me like a fish
Love me like a fish
L-l-love me like a fish
I'll turn into a fish
Turn-turn-turn into a fish
Where do you wanna swim?
Love me like a fish
L-l-love me like a fish
Love me like a fish
L-l-love me like a fish
I'll turn into a fish
Turn-turn-turn into a fish
Where do you wanna swim?
Yeah, I'll let you meet Gary
He really loves snail day
His head's a block of cheese
 I can't swim no more
What are we gonna do?
Love me like a fish
L-l-love me like a fish
Love me like a fish
L-l-love me like a fish
I'll turn into a fish
Turn-turn-turn into a fish
Where do you wanna swim?
Love me like a fish
L-l-love me like a fish
Love me like a fish
L-l-love me like a fish
I'll turn into a fish
Turn-turn-turn into a fish
Where do you wanna swim?
The Fish That Got Away
The Fish That Got Away is the original parody on Fredrick the Forever Fish. The song tells a tale of a girl (Played by Gigi) and a fish named Fredrick, who is both Joey and an actual fish in different parts of the video. The music video is set up in a story-like form. It starts off on a scene of Lizzy asking Gigi to clean out a box, because "you are moving out in only two weeks." Reluctant, Gigi starts to clean out the old box and finds a picture of her and the fish, beginning the song. Through the video it changes from black and white to color, showing the switch between flashbacks and the present. This video was started the winter of 2014, and is yet to be finished. The recording of "Love Me Like A Fish" began midway through the making of The Fish That Got Away, but Lizzy and Gigi plan to finish the video once they've finished Love Me Like a Fish.

Lyrics

One day when I was reading a book 
I saw you laying there, eating my book
I screamed and ran away but I guess you didn't care
No matter what I did, Couldn't get rid of you
I never understood, didn't have a clue
Never planned that one day, I'd be losing you
In another life
I would be your girl
We would be the best of friends, be us against the world
In another life
I would make you stay
So I won't have to say you were, the fish that got away
When I tried to eat you, you didn't mind
I beat you with a shovel, but you said it was fine
No matter what I did, you always played along
I threw you out the window, but you just came back
Flushed you down the toilet, like I don't give a crap
Baked you a Blake, made him eat your favorite hat 
You gave me a look, with those big black eyes
You begged me for your hat, but I just let it die
I regret it to this day, but that won't change a thing
In another life
I would be your girl
I won't make Blake eat your hat, just muffins and cupcakes
In another life
I would make you stay
So I won't have to say you were, the fish that got away
The fish
The fish 
The fish 
The fish that got away
Your a fish, you can't by me a fricken time machine 
No
Can't replace you with a fricken taco
No
Can't bring you back with a million green beans
No
Yeah I shoulda told you what you meant to me
Cause now I pay the price
(To buy that fricken time machine)
In another life
I would be your girl
We would be the best of friends, be us buying that fricken time machine and taco
In another life
I would make you stay 
So I won't have to say you were, the fish that got away
The fish
The fish
The fish
n another life
I would make you stay 
So I won't have to say you were, the fish that got away
The fish that got away
