M.I.L.K.

This is a cow's take on "Everybody Hurts" by R.E.M.

The sky is gold
On the farm, and farmer's hands are cold
When you're standing in your stall
Dairy barn, in the morn'
This milk is musical
These milking bucket rhymes
And every udder squirts, in time
In time cows will face the dawn
Now it's time to sing along
We can make a milking song  (cold dawn, cold dawn)
Place each note where it belongs  (cold dawn)
We can masticate our cuds
Ruminate, yummy straw
'Cause, every udder squirts
Here comes the milking man
Every udder squirts
Those frozen hands, oh no
Those frozen hands
Can you please go warm them up
Oh, oh, oh, not warm enough
If you warm them up, then you will
Bring cheer to milking song
We can masticate our cuds, ruminate, yummy straw
Yeah, every udder squirts, in time
Milking bucket rhymes
Every udder squirts, in time
And every udder squirts, in time
It's a cold dawn, cold dawn, cold dawn, cold dawn
Cold dawn, cold dawn, cold dawn, cold dawn
Every udder squirts

Insomnia

This is a sleepless spin on "Try" by Colbie Caillat.

Try to go to sleep
Tilt your head right
Scratch your chin
Stretch your leg again
Turn over
Close your eyes too, close your eyes too
Listen to the clock
Ticking on now
Check the time
Shadows on the wall, hum a song
Close your eyes too, close your eyes too
You just have insomnia
You just want to sleep the night away
You just have the hiccups, hiccup, hiccup, hiccup
You just have to breathe into a bag
Go on close your eye, eye, eye, eye-yi-eyes
Go on close your eye, eye, eye, eye-yi-eyes
Go on close your eye, eye, eye, eye-yi-eyes
So just close your eyes
Go on close your eyes
Snoo-oo-ooze
Restless leg syndrome
Wiggle feet
Mister Whiskers purrs
Does what kittys do
And those claws
They go right through, they go right through (Hey!)
Wait a second, I
Need to go… put the trash out too
Cause it's garbage day, today and
They will be here soon.  All too soon
You just have insomnia
You just want to sleep the night away
You just have the hiccups, hiccup, hiccup, hiccup
You just have to breathe into a bag
You just have insomnia
You just want to sleep the night away
You just have the hiccups, hiccup, hiccup, hiccup
You just have to breathe into a bag
Go on close your eye, eye, eye, eye-yi-eyes
Go on close your eye, eye, eye, eye-yi-eyes
Go on close your eye, eye, eye, eye-yi-eyes
Go on close your eyes

Go on close your eye, eye, eye, eye-yi-eyes
Go on close your eye, eye, eye, eye-yi-eyes
So just close your eyes
Go on close your eyes
You just have insomnia
You just want to sleep the night away
You just have the hiccups, hiccup, hiccup, hiccup
You just have to breathe into a bag
Go on close your eye, eye, eye, eye-yi-eyes
Go on close your eye, eye, eye, eye-yi-eyes

Take a breath
Scratch those kitty ears, hear the purrs
Close your eyes too
Close those eyes too

Potato Surprise

This crosses "Devil Inside" by INXS with a leftover casserole's role in repurposing unwanted food.

Got some left-overs
Some o-old french fri-ies
Clean the 'frigerator
It's casserole night
Toss in the tuna
Trim off the cheese
Add in some of those obligitory peas
It needs some of these, these leftover peas
Mix it under, under, under
Leftover spam, it's a cellophane prize
Squirt in some ketchup, add a quarter pot pie
Some rubbery broccoli, and dry carrot sticks
Mix it under some soy bacon bits
Mmmm bacon bits
Potato surprise, potato surprise
Mixing up some leftover
Potato surprise
Potato surprise, potato surprise
Fixing up a casserole called
Potato surprise, oh woah oh oh
Let's reminisce
With that old crusty rice
Half a frankfurter, that frankfurter's nice
And back in that corner, say what's in that bowl
It looks kinda grody and so old I can't tell
What it i-i-is
What is this foo-ooo-ood
It's in potato surpri-i-ise
Yeah potato surpri-ise
Potato surprise, potato surprise
Everything ends up inside
Potato surprise
Potato surprise, potato surprise
It all ends up somewhere in
Potato surprise
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Some mushy zucchini, from Saturday night
Got the runs then, but lets give it a try
Pop in some pudding, I hope that it's lime
Eat this stuff now or we'll have it next time
Potato surprise, potato surprise
Mixing up some leftover

Carry Buddha

This is "Barracuda" by Heart as sung by a disgruntled Buddhist monk.

So, the master monk said
To that room instead
Feng shui
We have to move Buddha today
And son of a gun
But he's a heavy one
Got qualms, and sweaty palms
So though Buddha should enlighten me
I bet he's gonna squish my chi
And now he's ow, ow, ow, ow, on my toe you see
Now why don't you
Carry Buddha?
Oh-oh-oh
Hands on his knees
Keep moving please
Oh please
This may just herniate me
Oh no
My right, not yours
Through those big doors
Turn there
Then up the stairs
So though I took a vow I would not speak
This redecoration situation's bleak
And now my back, back, back, back, back is tweaked
Ow, carry Buddha
Oh, ow
Tell me, tell you
This thing is heavy
Bent brows broke vows
Spoken a few
I got a few for you too
Up one flight, and then the next
To the alcove that's the best
That Buddha's solid brass
Don't wanna bust my…. back
So though I took a vow I would not speak
This redecoration situation's bleak
And now my back, back, back, back, back is tweaked
Ow, carry, carry Buddha

Pastrami on a Parmesan Bun

This spins Sam Smith's "I'm Not the Only One" into an infatuation with the deli clerk and a greater infatuation for the sandwich she makes.

I'm in love, with the deli girl
But I can't say the words
So I just buy more sandwiches
And it's giving me the stinky burps
I'm eating there three times a day
Hoping it's your shift
Getting stamps on my sandwich card
When you're off I feel like I've been gypped
You take pastrami
And put it on a parmesan bun
And you made it so tasty
Now I want another one
How the weeks and the seasons turn
And that sandwich is our thing
I wish that I could speak some other words
Instead I'll have another pastrami
And you take pastrami
Put it on that parmesan bun
And you made it so tasty
Now I want another one
Change of hands at the Sandwich Land
Now saeurkraut makes me cry
Cuz you've gone to the Deli Grand
And I will not have my Reuben on rye
You gotta take pastrami
And put it on that parmesan bun
Cuz that makes it so tasty
Now I want another one
You take pastrami
And put it on a parmesan bun
But you made it so God darn tasty
Now I want another one
Now I want another one
Now I want another one
And I go
And I go
And I go
And I go
And I go
And I go, so
Now I want another one

Do You Like Your Shoes?

This spins "Would I Lie to You" by the Eurythmics into a tale of elven career change.

Do you like your shoes?
Do you like your shoes, Buddy?
I'm a foot artist Mister, so tell me true

Frogs Don't Wear Pajammies

Oh, frogs don't wear pajammies in the morning,
Morning jammies aren't their cup of tea,
The waistband's far too wide,
and the legs are far too long,
Jammies just don't fit their fannies properly.

Oh, frogs don't wear pajammies in the daytime,
That flannel's hot and itchy in the sun,
And when they hop and jump
on their lily pads and stumps,
Pajammies really aren't a lot of fun.

Oh, frogs don't wear pajammies in the morning,
In that way they are not like you and me,
And even in the night time,
when they have to pee,
Frogs don't wear pajammies don't you see!

Frogs don't wear pajammies on the schoolbus,
All the kids would laugh and point and stare,
            Not even for a million flies!
A frog wouldn't wear pajammies over there.

And when they're swimming in the pond,
Pajammies wouldn't last for long,
They'd get wet and limp and soggy,
Oh that poor pajammied froggy!

That's why frogs wear bathing suits.

Making a Deal

This crosses "Head Over Heels" by Tears For Fears with a used furniture salesman.

You walked into my furniture store
To get out of the weather
Faux Phoenician vases and stylin dining spaces
Could not catch your attention
You scrunch your eyebrows and you grimace your mouth
I see you have reservations
I'd like to sell you something, maybe you need a couch
You say the price is high
Oh it's just, just way too high
But it's a special and I'm making a deal
I must be crazy to be making a deal
I want this sale and now I'm making a deal
So I'll knock the price
And drop the price
Oh, it's, it's a special today
<Special today>
<Special today>
I'm on commission, but I'll throw it away
You know I have no ambition
Buy it now and I can, I can, toss in this lamp
<Special today>
It's. It's. It's.  A good proposition
The others in the break room think that I can not sell
<Subliminal ad>
It really is a downer
<You want this sofa>
It's hard to meet the plan when the quota's out of hand
<Cooshy cooshy comfy pillows>
Oh don't leave so
Cuz it's a special and I'm making a deal
I must be crazy to be making a deal
I want this sale and now I'm making a deal
So I'll knock the price
And drop the price
Oh, it's, it's a special today
This is a lovely sofa
Oh, what a find, and it reclines
This is my only sofa
<So fa so fa fa, so fa so fa fa>…
When a dime shines
One bargain tag, one bargain man
This is a good buy

Indian Casino

This crosses "Somewhere Only We Know" by Keane with Native American reservations.

Hie yie yaya, hie yie yaya…
Our way of life - they took our land
To build their cities and their castles in the sand
Farewell to days of roaming free
All life adapts, you know this happens naturally
A fire ring, our spirit song
We have our reservations and a need to carry on
Oh, native man, or Indian
By any name these moccasins I'm walking in
I felt the loss of ancestry
I know their spirits are still living in me
Oh earth below, all paved and numb
I see smoke signals in the sky above
A fire ring, our spirit song
We have our reservations and a need to carry on
Oh, native man, or Indian
By any name these moccasins I'm walking in
And if you ever wondered where did we go
Come enjoy the slots, blackjack, or keno
Bring your wallets full to hear cha-ching
So where did we go?
Indian casino
Indian casino
A fire ring, our spirit song
We have our reservations and a need to carry on
Oh, native man, or Indian
By any name these moccasins I'm walking in
And if you ever wondered where did we go

Bring your wallets full to hear cha-ching
So where did we go?

Tidy Tie

This is a courtroom spin of "The Old Man Down the Road" by John Fogarty.

He hit the courtroom like a wind storm
His words are thunder in the sky
He can debate stronger than you or me
He make a jedi knight comply
He got a tidy tie
He got tip top 'tallian shoes
He got a tidy tidy tie
That lawyer, his case is won
He got the eyes to size the jurors
He got the wise to nod their heads
He got a briefcase covered with rattlesnake hide
Opposing lawyer's feeling dread
He got a tidy tie
He got tip top 'tallian shoes
He got a tidy tidy tie
That lawyer, his case is won
He know the words to seize your reason
He show the courtroom why and how
He effects flawless litigation
That lawyer brings the court around
He got a tidy tie
He got tip top 'tallian shoes
He got a tidy tidy tie
That lawyer, his case is won
Yeah that lawyer's case is won

Pick It Out (Booger on the Bedpost)

The nose picker's version of "Inside Out" by Eve 6.

(Chorus)
I would wake up at night, sinus aching inside
With a big crusty glob of snot congesting my mind
Should I pick it out, I could scream and shout
Hard boogers just hate hard boogers
Wanna put my finger, knuckle deep or deeper
Wiggle it around, finagle that big booger out
You'd remove boogers too if you knew this goo
I squirm squirm like a worm on a fish hook, hurt, stuck, and so impaled
I want to wimper, whine, and wail
That big blob of snot is painful
My brain is cramped and small, I think I found your wiffle ball
I read words in nasal crannies
In thick gobs of crusty braile
My nostril burns when I exhale
(Chorus)
So calloused in my sinus
From the pick pick of my fingernail
This one looks like a carabou
Or is it more a reindeer, all it needs, a little sled
Tormented by the mucus in my head
(Chorus)
You'd remove it too
Struck a bone in the zone, oh my nose
New breed ankylosaurus
What a find when your mind goes
Stick it where it sticks most, booger on the bedpost
Struck a bone in the zone, oh my nose
New breed ankylosaurus
What a find when your mind goes
Another booger on the bedpost
(Chorus)

Frog in the Bandolier

This spins "Chandelier" by Sia into a tale of a desparado frog who will stop at nothing to get at those flies on the window.

Bandit frog, with attitude
I will get your bug, one webby dude
I eat that bug, eat that bug (croak)
I will go to your window sill
Where you keep your flies, get your bugs I will
Can't stop me now, stop me now (croak)
Eat that fly, eat that fly, lick
Eat that fly, eat that fly, lick
Eat that fly, eat that fly, lick
Eat 'em down, can't stop me now
I am the frog in the bandolier, in the bandolier
I am the frog your insects call dangerous
The one they call dangerous
I'm gonna climb, up your venician blinds, to your most precious flies
I am the frog in the bandolier, in the bandolier
And I'm climbing up to the heights, 'til I'm there where your flies like to hide
Just stand back now, I'm eating flies, eat them all, this is bandit frog pride
And now I'm climbing up to the heights, 'til I'm there where your flies like to hide
Just stand back now, I'm eating flies, eat them all, this is bandit frog pride
Bandit frog pride
Bug owner, I address
Better back off now, this is serious
Just keep away, just keep away
Eat that fly, eat that fly, lick
Eat that fly, eat that fly, lick
Eat that fly, eat that fly, lick
Eat 'em down, can't stop me now
I am the frog in the bandolier, in the bandolier
I am the frog your insects call dangerous
The one they call dangerous
I'm gonna climb, up your venician blinds, to your most precious flies
I am the frog in the bandolier, in the bandolier
And I'm climbing up to the heights, 'til I'm there where your flies like to hide
Just stand back now, I'm eating flies, eat them all, this is bandit frog pride
And now I'm climbing up to the heights, 'til I'm there where your flies like to hide
Just stand back now, I'm eating flies, eat them all, this is bandit frog pride
Bandit frog pride

Mummy

This the ancient Egyptian curse version of "Call Me" by Blondie.

Wrapped up in trespassing, robber
I know where you are
Trapped in sandstone passings, beware
I'm not very far
Steal your courage, chill your heart
Ancient curses in a jar
Mummy (mummy) nhuh-ooo-ah
Mummy, mummy, comes alive
Mummy (mummy) nhuh-ooo-ah
Mummy's coming, ready for a fight
Mummy
Wrap me in Egyptian linen
For eternal life
Put jewels and gems and blings devine
on to my sarcophogi
Drill a hole, remove my brain
Kind of gross but stops decay
Mummy (mummy) nhuh-ooo-ah
Mummy, mummy, comes alive
Mummy (mummy) nhuh-ooo-ah
The guardian revivified
Mummy
Nhuh-oo-oo, he reads the hieroglyphs of life
Nhuh-oo-oo, a cobra, walky guy, walky guy
Nhuh-oo-oo, crocodile, flower pot, crocodile
It's an eye, it's a face, it's a chair, it's a wait
It's an eye, it's a face, it's a chair, it's a wait
Wait I know this one
Is that a hippo?
Lets see…
Loopy squiggle rope
Owl!  That's an owl
Ziggy lines… A giant slug
An eye, hand, axe
What's that thing?  Oh no…
Mummy (mummy) nhuh-ooo-ah
Mummy, mummy, comes alive
Mummy (mummy) nhuh-ooo-ah
Mummy, bringing doom unto defilers
Mummy (mummy) nhuh-ooo-ah
Mummy, sacred servant of the Nile
Mummy, (mummy) purify the tomb in style
Mummy (mummy) nhuh-ooo-ah
Mummy, mummy, comes alive
Mummy (mummy) nhuh-ooo-ah

Lemon Creme Pie

This crosses Paul McCartney's "Live and Let Die" with circus clowns and pie.


When night was young we would run round the circus tent
With clowny games, like hide and seek pies
That's what we did, that's what we did, that's what we did
But clown school finals changed the game that we were playing
Makes you fling it up high
That lemon crème pie
Lemon crème pie
Lemon crème pie
Lemon crème pie
What does it matter to ya
Running round in floppy shoes
You gotta do it well
You gotta squeek your nose and run and yell
Yes, long ago we would drive 'round the circus tent
Our little car, five clown shoes high
That's what we did, that's what we did, that's what we did
But clown school finals changed the games that we were playing
Makes you fling it up high
That lemon crème pie
Lemon crème pie
Lemon crème pie
Lemon crème pie

Lord of the Yodel

This is a yodeler's spin of Demi Lavato's "Let it Go" from the animated movie Frozen.

My nose blows wet in my hanky tonight
Only yodeler to be heard
This mountain's been abandoned, 'cept by shaggy goats and birds
My tongue is flapping like a pretty butterfly
I just have to sing, and I'll tell you why
No one to see, no one to hear
Except a saint bernard with my barreled beer
No one to hear, why should I care
My voice echoes - eve.ry.where
Yodel on, Yodel on
The last of the yodelers
Yodel on, Yodel on
Echoes back across the mountain tors
I yodel loud, I yodel free
My yodels fly
Far and back to me
It's funny how one voice can break down a silent wall
And the voice that breaks the silence reaches out unto us all
High in the cold thin air, is a place where silence thrives
One voice is all it takes to bring the yodel back to life
Yodel on, Yodel on
The last of the yodelers
Yodel on, Yodel on
Echoes back across the mountain tors
I yodel loud, I yodel free
My yodels fly
Far and back to me
I will pose in           
Fancy lederhozen   
Singing spendors
And wearing bright suspenders
Echoes on and on
Yodel on, Yodel on
The last of the yodelers
Yodel on, Yodel on
Echoes back across the mountain tors
I yodel loud, I yodel free
My yodels fly
Far and back to me
So yodel loud and yodel free
Yodel clear, in yodel harmony
Yodel on, Yodel on
Yodel on and on and on
