Title: January's Competition 'over there' Post by: folderol on January 11, 2009, 08:45:37 PM This month's theme is 'Resolutions'. I decided to just have a bit of fun.
No electrons were harmed during the production. Title: Re: January's Competition 'over there' Post by: elwoodblues1969 on January 11, 2009, 11:33:58 PM Will,
I had a bit of difficulty making out the lyrics later into the song,as there's alot happening...there being so many elements...but apart from that,this song was a quite a bit of fun to listen to,as it has that "Monty Python" humor to it-great stuff! ;D The weather around here has been very droll & I have not seen any of my friends in such a long time,so this song was a nice pick-me-up-thanks for the morale booster! :D -Thom Title: Re: January's Competition 'over there' Post by: folderol on January 12, 2009, 07:15:43 PM Thanks for listening Thom, and I'm glad you liked it overall.
One of the problems I had was that the song is so fast that each time I tried to record it, I kept getting tongue tied as I got to the end. I was trying to get somewhere near the style of Gilbert & Sullivan with their fast comedy sketches ::) For anyone who is interested here are the lyrics: Christmas is gone and I'm overweight, the turkey was stuffed, so was I. I shuffle around in a dressing gown, my trousers don't fit anymore. I promise you, I promise you, I'll never do it again. I promise you, I promise you, I'll never do it again. The prezzies are scattered all over the place, the wrappings are up to my waist. The house is a tip, I can't see the floor, oh, where is the TV remote. I promise you, I promise you, I'll never do it again. I promise you, I promise you, I'll never do it again. The kids are all screaming, The wife's in a sulk, the dog ran away with the cat. There's bills to pay, and there's work to do, and I'm still hung over real bad. I promise you, I promise you, I'll never do it again. I promise you, I promise you, I'll never do it again. I promise you, I promise you, I'll never do it again. I promise you, I promise you, I'll never do it again. Until next year, that is.
