The Wedding DJs Steri Stumpie flavoured party got out of hand… Photo (courtesy of The Grid) says it all really. We were there to hand out the two new flavours (so if you were there you know what they are now).

The Brothers Streep have hit pop parade pay dirt with a track we’re convinced is due to be a breakthrough of Kissing A Girl And Liking It sized proportions. Imagine the  lyricism of Lou Reed, combined with the pheromones of the Jonas Brothers, the harmonic skills of The Beach Boys and the sartorial style of  Avis drivers. That doesn’t nearly describe their genius.

But breathless hype aside, prepare yourselves for possibly mankind’s greatest musical acheivement, The Steri Stumpie Song (right click and save to download).

The Steri Stumpie Song
written by Dylan Streep, Tim P Streep and Simon Streep

My whole family got the swine flu
it was pretty bad, our goldfish got it too
But what got me through those times
were chocolate flavoured dreams of mine

I lost my job to new technology
apparently machines can pack shelves better than me
But how can I feel down
when strawberry milk is still around

When the road is bumpy
drink a Steri Stumpie
Cause you can’t be grumpy
with a Steri Stumpie
Humpty Dumpty, Steri Stumpie
never lumpy, my Steri Stumpie

Crime is up just like the petrol price
property is down just like Vanilla Ice
But how can we feel glum
when banana milk is packed with fun

Global warming means the polar bears go
you shouldn’t be sun tanning when you’re sitting in snow
But the world will be okay
vanilla milk is here to stay

When the road is bumpy
drink a Steri Stumpie
Cause you can’t be grumpy
with a Steri Stumpie
Donald Trumpy, Steri Stumpie
never lumpy, my Steri Stumpie

Even though my girlfriend dumped me, for a cream soda Steri Stumpie
I would be sad I’m left alone, but I’m glad she’ll have strong teeth and bones

When the road is bumpy
drink a Steri Stumpie
Cause you can’t be grumpy
with a Steri Stumpie
Forrest Gumpy, Steri Stumpie
never lumpy, my Steri Stumpie

Here at Stump towers we get so much ambassador nomination mail we’ve had to hire ten extra interns just to go through it - bless their little paper-cut  fingers…. It takes quite a bit to make it out of the mail room but this is a good example of how to do it. The formula for success is pretty simple:

a: love steri stumpie

b: send us a photo that displays said love

c: write a song about steri stumpie

d: get one of your friends to endorse your love for Steri stumpie with unlikely stories of stumpie related heroism

This one ticked all the boxes.

“Simon is an absolute legend amongst men. He not only wrote a Steri Stumpie song, but is the true human form of Steri Stumpie. I would not be surprised if his blood was Steri Stumpie. At least he wouldnt have any problems if he needed a blood transfusion. This man is a steri stumpie player. He’s picked about 34 chicks using Steri Stumpie. This one girl turned down the whole South African Rugby side to be with Simon and his Steri Stumpies. Legend.”

If you can do better the nomination form is here.

This hunt actually happened last week Saturday, in Stellenbosch a student village and also the homeland of Steri Stumpie cows.  Congratulations to Michael, who was ready and waiting at The Terrace to pounce on the Steri stash as I arrived. You most certainly deserved this deluxe packet and we  hope you enjoyed our new flavours.

Q:  Alex, it is an honour to have you designing a Ster-Stumpie inspired T-shirt. Won’t you tell us how long you have been working as a creative?

A:  Seven years or so.
Q: Lucky number seven. How many Steri Stumpies would you say you drink per week?
 Ballpark guess.

A:  Not enough for it to be a problem, but enough to take the edge off things.

Q: Remember what they say: A man can never have too many cars, or too many Steris. When’s your favourite time to drink a Steri Stumpie?
A: 3.00am - any day of the week.
Q: So you wake up especially? Now that’s what we call a craving. What’s your favourite flavour Steri Stumpie?
A: Easily toffee.

Q: We once got a request that we make Steri Stumpie Toffee Sweets. Not a bad idea - we’re thinking of branching out into Steri Bubblegum, farming Steri Strawberries… anyway, do you find Steri Stumpies help you with your ideas?
A: They are usually quiet drinks and don’t offer me many ideas – but drinking one helps me to think and come up with ideas.
Q:  That’s good to hear. We hear Steri does for creativity what hugs do for happiness. What do you use as inspiration for you work?
A: Sunny weather, good views and Naval drills in the False Bay.

Q: You do know you don’t need a drill to make a hole in your navel, right? But hey, each to his own. Anyway we love your design. It oozes Bubblegum radness. Give us a link to any other awesome projects you’re working on right now, so people can see more of your radness.
A: Visit my blog - there’s some cool stuff on the way including a children’s book.
