Eleven o’Clockish

Eleven o’Clockish was thought to be an old unreleased song. According to Alora Lanzillotta, it had been played at some live performances. Neil later revealed it to have been a hoax to see how people would react.

The hoax began when Alora posted a list of songs that Lemon Demon had played live, in response to a request for one. After “Eleven o’Clockish” was noticed in it, people began speculating about it, and Alora explained that she had just copied the list from a text file. The story was that it was a bad song that they had played during some early live performances, and that she had forgotten to remove it from the list before posting it.

As expected, there was a strong reaction, and several people began searching for copies. Original WikiLemon user Natalia was in on the hoax and playing along, claiming to have heard an MP3, which increased many people’s curiosity. Ultimately, though, it did not attract as much attention as Insult to Aaron or A Schizophrenic Twist did, possibly because fewer details (e.g. lyrics or excerpts) were known about it.

Somewhere in late 2006, Illemonatus Anya pulled a prank on the Lemon Demon forum and MSN in conjunction with SpecialKRJ and Alora involving the song. In a particularly large MSN conversation, she noted she sent the “song” to Kirsten, who then uploaded it to her site. It consisted of a small intro by Anya, followed by white noise, with an endnote by Anya telling everyone they got fooled. Alora later posted it on the forum.

Trivia

• Nuclear Bubble Wrap, a band formed in Nashville, TN, created a song of the same name, which was inspired by the hoax. An MP3 of the song was once available on the original WikiLemon, and is now available on YouTube.
