It Came To Me In The Shower
Creative thoughts and ideasYou’ve Been Sentenced Named in the Shower
You've Been Sentenced
Donald Mcneil was out for a nice family dinner trying to entertain the kids by playing Mad Libs on the back of the kids menu. The next morning, it came to him the shower and idea for a new game. He would make a game where there were thousands of ways to put sentences together. By the time he turned off the water, he knew what he would call it: “You’ve Been Sentenced.” In 2008, Mcneill’s game won the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold award and along with this more distributor contracts and more products. Less than 4 years after Mcneill Designs for Brighter Minds formed the game in his shower it became a game show produced by Parris-Randall Productions.
The Shower Brings Out The Lyrics
We are in search of stories of ideas people have in the shower that turn into a success. I was able to find this one this morning.
According to BBC News, pop singer Eliza Doolittle scored her first ever top 20 single on Sunday with Pack Up, a lilting summer groove based around the music-hall tune Pack Up Your Troubles In Your Old Kit Bag.
When asked hw she writes a hit sogn Eliza replied: “Like, I’ll be in the shower and I’ll start singing and the melody and the lyric will just come out. Then I’ll quickly try to finish the shower, try to remember it, record it on my phone and save it for the studio,”
If you know of anyone that had a success from an idea in the shower please contact us.
