The Odd Couple Theme (1970): www.youtube.com/watch?v=Af1h4i…

 

 

I can't be the ONLY person to do this kind of parody..But, It's a good one, so I'm doing it anyway.

for those who don't watch classic comedy, The Odd Couple was a broadway play,

that became a TV series in the 70s, which later led to two films starring Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon.

 

the concept was simple: Two men, a Neat Freak and a Slob, are forced to co-habitation. and, walk a fine line between being Best Friends or Bitter Enemies.

 

Felix Unger (The Neat Freak) is described as: "a neurotic, fastidious, hypochondriac."

while Oscar Madison (The Slob) is: "slovenly, careless spending/excessive gambler."

(there have also been female version of the characters, then named "Florence Unger" and "Olive Madison")

 

in terms of MLP, Octavia Melody is "Felix" and Vinyl Scratch is "Oscar"

simply because both ponies are musicians..but, have VERY different musical tastes.

 

Octavia's interest is classical music (Beethoven and Motzart are probably her idols), with her favored instrument being a cello.

she is polite, proper. and (in fan-videos, anyway) speaks in a fluent british accent.

 

Vinyl Scratch is a DJ (Disc Jockey). more at home at Night Clubs, she loves LOUD amd energetic music.

a party girl at heart, she's the personification of music in the modern age.

 

Can you just IMAGINE these two having to live together? it'd be just like Felix and Oscar.

the most common scenario being that Octavia is trying to practice for an orchestra..but, is having difficult due to Vinyl's loud rap music.

 

I am considering doing some comedy shorts based on this subject..

but, for now. this is just a fun parody that leaves fan to imagine the humorous possibilities.

 

(another is the scenaro featured in The Odd Couple II, where Oscar's son was marrying Felix daughter.

ooh, wouldn't that be funny..if Vinyl and Octavia became in-laws, and REALLY had to co-exist with one another.)

 

 

Note: According to the fandom, Vinyl and Octavia DO have their own "coltfriends" when they aren't being paired with one another in slash fics.

their respected coltfriends in the fandom are "Neon Light" and "Frederic Horseshoepin"

(you can assume they are the "divorced husbands" in the parody..or, not.)

 

 

 

Here's a clip from the Odd Couple 2, which is condsidered "The Best, and Funniest" by many: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DjzvR…
