The Glasgow Willy Wonka Disaster Event Is Now the Subject of a Parody Song Performed by John Stamos
John Stamos has recorded the opening number demo for 'Willy's Candy Spectacular: A Parody Musical,' the upcoming musical spoofing the Glasgow event.
The first introduction to the forthcoming production from Alan Zachary and Michael Weiner — set to run at the Edinburgh Fringe Fest at the Pleasance King Dome from Aug. 9 through 26 — is “Willy’s Candy Spectacular,” a nearly four-minute-long sonic and visual assault that credits the cash grab exhibit with kicking off the apocalypse. For-hire actors were tasked with delivering an AI-generated script for an audience of parents and children who would go home with little more than jelly beans and scarred memories. “How, you may ask, did this underwhelming show lead to the Earth’s demise/Well, we don’t know, but if we retrace our steps an answer might arise/Let’s turn back the clock to a time long before we were smoldering ash/When some Scottish guy hatched a scheme to make some easy cash/And in a flash there was Willy’s Candy Spectacular,” Stamos laments.
