Post subject:  Manniversary Song contest

Here is my ineligible contribution. It's to Man of Constant Sorrow from Oh Brother Where Art Thou? Here is the song, keep the volume low. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifdgrfr0 ... re=related

I would have done something like W_Z but I'm not going to put in the time and effort for something I can't win. Here are my lyrics.

I am a woman of constant sorrow
I listen to MJH 3-6 every weekday.
I can’t go to the Manniversary
Because I have no penis
[chorus](Because she has no penis)

For six long years I've been shutout
No golfing or betting on horses for me
For in this world I'm bound to play bunco
And attend tastefully simple parties

[chorus] tastefully simple parties

It’s for you, men
I never expected to be allowed
For I’m bound to be on the outside looking in
Perhaps I’ll post recipes on cooking for a crowd

[chorus]Perhaps I’ll post recipes on cooking for a crowd

You can bury your balls in some deep sand trap
And putt from the rough where your ball may lay
Consider it pay back
For acting like a man that lives in a cave

[chorus] For acting like a man that lives in a cave

Maybe you guys think I’m just a bimbo
I won’t darken your events no more
But there is one promise that is given
I am woman, you’ll hear me roar.

[chorus] I am woman, you’ll hear me roar.

Pretty good Spaulding. Maybe Randy Merkin can enter it as his own effort.

Is there a theme on the parody song contest or is it a free for all?

+1, anyone know? Time limit, subject matter? I haven't been able to listen but from 430-6 since the new gig, so I haven't heard anything about parody songs.

I'll listen to your tune when I get home, Spaulding. We play 'constant sorrow' so I'm interested to see what you did with it.

It's Raining Men or the Monty Python song "Men, men. men..." would seem appropriate.

Here was my entry.

To the tune of James Blunt's "You had a bad day".

Where is the moment when we need it the most
You rake up the leaves and take out the trash
You hope it gets better some day
The daily grind eventually goes away
And you just need to carry on

You sit in traffic and move very slow
You walk into work and your morale is low
You count down the minutes until quitting time
You're wasting away on the company dime
And you just need to carry on

[*Start Here For 1 minute*]
Because you need a man day
Send the womenfolk away
You need a cigar and a scotch
You need some sports to watch
You need to bond with a guy
You call in sick and kiss the wife goodbye
You need a man day
You head to the course
You hit the first tee and light up a stogie
You start off your round with a triple bogey
You need a man day

Well you need a man holliday
The men won't whine or complain
And they won't be carrying on

You need a man day
Your drinking one down
You swing the golf club and tear up the ground
You say you hate golf
You had a bad lie
You sip on your beer and go for a ride
You need a man day
No women, no way
You're a little tipsy and you really don't mind
You need a man day

(Oh.. holliday..)

Sometimes your shot goes in the drink
And your choice of club turns out all wrong
You might miss your putt and swear at the ball
There is no way it would break that way
And go that long

So where is the joy when you need it the most
Oh me and my guys
You kick up your feet and propose a toast

'Cause you had a man day
You drank a few beers
You had a few cheers
You found your happy place
No women invading your space
You got away from your trouble if only for a day
You had a man day
You've hung out with Mac, Jurko and Harry
And had a great time
You had a man day
You had a man day

Had a man day
Had a man day

Mine is probably too long. I also have no musical talent so I just sent it in so I probably am ineligible because it's not in audio format. Oh well.

well, i've been thinking of a few ideas but will not be posting them for all to steal! :wink:

Well, it looks as if they want them sent in recorded like I thought. I am no where near talented enough to do something like that so if anyone wants to take my lyrics, improve them how they want, and submit it I have no problem with that. Otherwise, they'll just go to waste but maybe that's the most humane thing to do.

Rick, you should at least request that you be included in the foursome if the song happened to win.

I would never ask to be involved in a foursome without knowing the participants. It could end up being very uncomfortable the next morning.

If you want to give it a try it's yours. I'm sure that it could be improved. You can take it and run with it.

Well Rick, I think it's great. I don't know the lyrics to the actual song
well enough to know how well yours fit, but as Terry would say during
WYC, you hit the essence.

I see it now. I retired from the board from Friday night until Sunday and then only had a few minutes. I saw it now. It sounds great.
