It Goes Something Like This...

I've said before that I live my life in a constant state of live, musical theatre. I spend about 3/4 of every day singing or humming, and sometimes I get really fancy and throw in some random whistling just so I don't get bored. So, recently, in the middle of one of my musical numbers, I suddenly realized just one more thing that we Americans take for granted...song lyrics.

When you really think about it, just about anything that ever needs to be said can be done with nothing other than song lyrics. So, if you're really creative, quick on your feet, and happen to know a lot of songs (which I do, YEAH) you may never have to have an original thought ever again.

Give these a try...

Conversations with Siblings:

Joe Jones came out with this in the 60s, and it couldn't more more appropriate for my sisters. I, of course, mean this with the best of humor, so please don't call and tell me that I talk WAY more than you do. It's a blog, for crying out loud, and I'll say what I want to say.

You talk too much you worry me to death, You talk too much, you even worry my pet. You just talk, talk too much. You talk about people that you don't know. You talk about people wherever you go. You just talk, talk too much.

A big thanks to Avril Lavigne for that one. It's one of my favs.


Conversations with Ken at work:

Just hit the eastside of the LBC on a mission trying to find Mr. Warren G. Seen a car full of girls ain't no need to tweak. All you skirts know what's up with 213.

Ah, some Warren G and Regulate. This of course makes no sense at all, but does fit into one of my favorite hobbies of calling Ken at work and singing him random songs. He totally loves it ;) but occasionally does try to hang up on me. He's so lucky to have me to occupy his day. Don't you think?

Pep Talk to Myself

Cause I'm a redneck woman And I ain't no high class broad I'm just a product of my raisin' And I say "hey y'all" and "Yee Haw" And I keep my Christmas lights on, on my front porch all year long And I know all the words to every Charlie Daniels song.

Gretchen Wilson read my mind with this one. It's my self-appointed theme song, if you will. It's such a fun song to sing at the top of my lungs while I'm doing the dishes.

I could go on and on but you get my drift :)
