Posted on by admin

Coversong originally made famous by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Written by John Fogerty

LYRICS
Now when I was just a little boy standin’ to my Daddy’s knee
My Poppa said son don’t let the man get you do what he done to me
‘Cause he’ll get you ’cause he’ll get you now now.

I can remember the fourth of July runnin’ through the backwood bare.
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin’ chasin’ down a hoodoo there
Chasin’ down a hoodoo there.

[Chorus]
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou.

Wish I was back on the bayou rollin’ with some Cajun Queen.
Wishin’ I were a freight train, oh, just a-chooglin’ on down to New Orleans.

[Chorus]

I can remember the fourth of July, runnin’ through the backwood bare.
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin’, chasin’ down a hoodoo there,
Chasin’ down a hoodoo there.

[Chorus]

Posted on by admin

Based on the Book Of Luke

A song about Syria and refugees. Jews, Christians and Muslims are all known as “Religions of The Book”. Sometimes we seem to forget that we are “one and the same” and our message is still the same: Peace On Earth. Goodwill Toward Man.

LYRICS
Trying to get a consensus by holding a census
Count on Augustus counting us
Quirinius governor of Syria… are you really serious?
From Nazareth in Galilee traveled Mary
To Bethlehem… David’s city… while Mary did carry

No room for a stranger
Managed to make it to a manger
Giving birth to heaven on Earth
And all worldly worth

There were shepherds watching over their flocks at night
When lo and behold, the most angelic sight
The angel said, “have no fright”
On Good News, I shed the light
Today Savior has been born to you
This will be a sign to you, too
One knows by his swaddling clothes

Suddenly, a great choir started to sing
Glory to God over everything
Peace on Earth everlasting

LYRICS
Good God! Oh, my God!
… turn it to some heavenly colour.

I’ve been inspired to write a new lyric based on your inspiration.
It’s entitled “My Red Cup” (working title The Holy Grail)
All hail The Holy Grail
My cup is red, but usually only on Easter… er, a… I mean Good Friday. Better yet, roll it out during The Last Supper. “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life.” Now that I think about it, red cups for a long weekend would be Kosher. (Jesus! After all, I am a Jew.) Start with the plain red cup… then by Easter Sunday (when I rise)… turn it into some heavenly hue. If it’s not too much to ask of you? All hail The Holy Grail!

How Tall Can a Lego Tower Be Before It Crushes Itself? .mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
C Dm Eb
C Cm

Inspired by a news story. The BBC reported, “It’s not just children who like to build towers with Lego – the internet is alive with discussion on how many Lego bricks, stacked one on top of the other, it would take to destroy the bottom brick. So what’s the answer? ” The article goes on to say, “Safety glasses on, the engineers begin to nervously edge towards the door.

“We’re setting it up automatically, so that we can all back out of the room, so none of us is in range when the thing goes bang,” Johnston explains – positioned, I notice, slightly behind me.”

“The force climbs on, above 4,000N. And then… Nothing. Well, not much. There is no big bang. The brick just kind of melts. ”

“So – how many Lego bricks, stacked one on top of the other, would it take to destroy the bottom brick?
375,000 bricks towering 3.5km (2.17 miles) high is what it would take to break a Lego brick.

That’s taller than the highest mountain in Spain. It’s significantly higher than Mount Olympus [tallest mountain in Greece]”

But could a 3.5km Lego tower really be built?

“There isn’t a chance you could do it in reality,” Johnston says. “Long before the brick fails, the tower would fail as a structure itself, by buckling.

Real life can be so disappointing sometimes.”

Time to turn on

Time to tune in
Focus us… listen

“Keymaster, I’ve forgotten the password”
Think faster… the word is my sword
Can’t fool Zuul?
The master of the Destructor distractor
Would you believe… there’s nothing up my sleeve

Wa-lah

Haha
Slaughter with laughter
The word is my sword

Vinz Clortho the Keymaster of Gozer was a demi-god and loyal minion who obeys The Destructor, and possessed Louis Tully in Ghostbusters. Vinz is assumed to be male because it is known as the Keymaster, and possessed a male host instead of a female host. Also, it has noticeably longer horns than Zuul, the Gatekeeper, who is believed to be female. Vinz Clortho was worshipped by the Sumerians and Hittites in 6000 BC, alongside Zuul and their master.

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Forget about subsidizing
… corn… or oil exploration
Realizing…
I yearn… for some real education
Tired of paying for the ignoramus
Hard to ignore the value in us
(instrumental interlude) Hey, Ignoramus!
Edumacation benefits all of us (Hey, Ignoramus! Edumacation — benefit to us. Come out of the ignorant fit… Edumacation = benefit)

“We don’t need no education”
Double negative reaction
When it’s obvious ya do
And, then sum, too
What you say just doesn’t add up
Is it half empty? What’s in your cup?

What about subsidizing
Are you realizing
The gain from an asset
The cost of an ass, yet…
And, lying… can’t you see the liability of your disability
Why promote being ignorant
Or being indifferent
To enlightenment

Nooooo, Ignoramus please don’t ignore us

After what you’ve said, I wonder what’s in your head?
How can you have any learning if you don’t know meet from meat?
