It Was a Good Jubilee (2008)

performance

Ice Cube's song "It Was a Good Day" subjected to a variation of the Oulipo constrained writing method S+7. The result is a version of the song in which all nouns have been systematically replaced with alternatives. (To my knowledge, the first example of a work of Ouhippo.)
