The Pigeon Appreciation Song

This is a thankful pigeon's adaptation of Meghan Trainor's "If Your Lips Are Moving".

If crumbs ya threw'n, If crumbs ya threw'n
If crumbs ya threw'n, then you're kind, kind, kind, yeah
If crumbs ya threw'n, If crumbs ya threw'n
If crumbs ya threw'n, then you're kind, kind, kind, yeah
I'm flappin' down from my nest
Wing it to the park when I wanna rest
You gotta feed good to pass my test
Coo-oo.  Some bread crumbs would be best
Yeah, I'm a city bird
I've a seen it done
Your bag got something, ain't that a bun?
If bread you got, and you share it too
You'll hear this birdie coo
You can chase me with a puppy
And I'll fly fly fly, fly fly fly, I'll fly fly
So go ditch your yippie doggie or I'll fly fly fly, fly fly fly
I know you're kind
'Cause crumbs ya threw'n
Tell me with a deli bun
I'm makin' room
This bird is poopin'
Flappin' round in circles with the flock
I peck your face, poop on your sweater
That's thank you in pigeon talk
I know you're kind
'Cause crumbs ya threw'n
Mister, don't ya know I'm won
If crumbs ya threw'n, If crumbs ya threw'n
If crumbs ya threw'n, then you're kind, kind, kind, Mister
If crumbs ya threw'n, If crumbs ya threw'n
If crumbs ya threw'n, then you're kind, kind, kind, Mister
Hey Mister, don’t you wear raingear
'Cause it's too late, too late, mister, now
I get excited when your near
You got bread crumbs, bread crumbs, wow, oh
You can chase me with a puppy
And I'll fly fly fly, fly fly fly, I'll fly fly
So go ditch your yippie doggie or I'll fly fly fly, fly fly fly
I know you're kind
'Cause crumbs ya threw'n
Tell me with a deli bun
I'm makin' room, this bird is poopin'
Flappin' round in circles with the flock
I peck your face, poop on your sweater
That's thank you in pigeon talk
I know you're kind
'Cause crumbs ya threw'n
Mister, don't ya know I'm won
If crumbs ya threw'n, If crumbs ya threw'n
If crumbs ya threw'n, then you're kind, kind, kind, yeah
If crumbs ya threw'n, If crumbs ya threw'n
If crumbs ya threw'n, then you're kind, kind, kind, yeah
I know you're kind
'Cause crumbs ya threw'n
Tell me with a deli bun
I'm makin' room, this bird is poopin'
Flappin' round in circles with the flock
I peck your face, poop on your sweater
That's thank you in pigeon talk
I know you're kind
'Cause crumbs ya threw'n
Mister, don't ya know I'm won

Twilight Pickle

This is the midnight snack version of "Twilight Zone" by Golden Earring.

Somewhere in a quiet kitchen
There's a guy starting to realize
That his midnight snack has got it's grip on him
It's two A.M.
It's two A.M.  (It's two A.M.)
The hunger's on  (Hunger's on)
And that refrigerator's open  (Refrigerator)
The gumbo's all gone  (The gumbo's all gone)
I weigh my selection; it's time to make a sandwich
I got butter on my fingers
Bread crumbs over there
Slices of the roast beef
And pepper in the air
Yearning a ghirkin
When my whole night spins into a frenzy
Help, I'm gripping onto a kaiser roll
Pickles almost out, seems I'm needing more
My buttery hands blunder and "ooh", I snarl
How am I to open that cold pickle jar
Soon you will have no more
When the pickles hit the floor
Soon you will have no more
When the pickles hit the floor
They're falling down in slow-mo
Destination the floor
These are not condiments
Anymore
Can't get no connection
Can't grip too
What to do?
Well the night weighs heavy on his hungry mind
This jar's full of picklebrine
When the pickles fall
He knows darn well he has to clean it
And he says, help, I'm gripping onto a kaiser roll
Pickles almost out, seems I'm needing more
My buttery hands blunder and "ooh", I snarl
How am I to open that cold pickle jar?
Soon you will have no more
When the pickles hit the floor
Soon you will have no more
When the pickles hit the floor
When the pickles hit the floor

Giddy Up, Good Knight

This takes "We Are Young" by Fun and crosses it with a squire's attempts to help a knight onto his horse.

Give me a second Knight
I need to fix your armor plate
This buckles twisted backwards
And there's fighting at the castle gate
It's up to me to get you ready
Just before the war
Thy steed's been acting hyped and restless and
Angry about before and…
I know I screwed up at this months ago
I know you'd like to make the fight
But between the flops and fuddled things
My oversaid apologies
You know, I'm trying hard to make it right
So if by the time the war's over
When you feel like falling down
I'll carry your load
Sir Knight
We are strong
So just trust your faithful squire
I'll raise you up higher
Than your horse
Sir Knight
Please hold on
If you were just a little lighter
I'd lift you up higher
Than your horse
Now I know that I'm not
Strong as I thought
I guess that I
I just thought
Maybe we could find new ways to get you up
But the Huns are back
So let's raise you up
 'Cause we need someone to carry the war
Sir Knight
We are strong
So lets get the winching wire
To raise you up higher
Than your horse
Sir Knight
Please hold on
I'll adjust the winching wire
To lift you up higher
Than your horse
Get on your horse, Good Knight    (na na...)
Just get on your horse, Good Knight    (na na...)
Get on your horse, Good Knight    (na na...)
Just get on your horse, Good Knight    (na na...)
Now you are on your side    (na na...)
You have been spinning and spun    (na na...)
So will someone come and carry the war tonight    (na na...)
The saviors never arrived    (na na...)
But I can hear those drums    (na na…)
So let's get this done and carry the war    (na na...)
Sir Knight
Please hold on
I'll adjust the winching wire
To lift you up higher
Than your horse
Sir Knight
Please hold on
So I'll set the winching wire
And raise you up higher
Than your horse
So, if by the time
The war's over
When you feel like falling down
I'll carry your load
Sir Knight

The Pumice Shoe

This spins "The Promise" by When In Rome into an infomercial sales pitch for a dubious invention.

Before I begin, hear one small disclaimer
For plantar warts, seek podiatrists care
But when feet are sore, and cracking's a danger
Don't limp anymore, you have something to wear
So listen, here's an idea that will bring your feet relief
The pumice shoe
It's a new invention all you limpy people need
The pumice shoe
Your foot pain will soon be gone, and then you will believe
The pumice shoe
The pumice shoe, the pumice shoe for foot care
When callus cracks, and your heels are tender
Let's just face the facts, it can be hard to bear
And if you use it as it's intended
Your feet will be smooth as a babe's derriere
So listen, here's an idea that will bring your feet relief
The pumice shoe
It's a new invention all you limpy people need
The pumice shoe
Your foot pain will soon be gone, and then you will believe
The pumice shoe
The pumice shoe, the pumice shoe…
So listen, here's an idea that will bring your feet relief
The pumice shoe
It's a new invention all you limpy people need
The pumice shoe
Your foot pain will soon be gone, and then you will believe
The pumice shoe
The pumice shoe, the pumice shoe…
I'm gonna sell ya, your feet will sell ya
Smooth feet will sell ya, I'm gonna sell ya
So listen, here's an idea that will bring your feet relief
The pumice shoe
It's a new invention all you limpy people need
The pumice shoe
Your foot pain will soon be gone, and then you will believe
The pumice shoe
The pumice shoe, the pumice shoe…
So listen, here's an idea that will bring your feet relief
The pumice shoe
It's a new invention all you limpy people need
The pumice shoe
You can have volcanic footwear sent to you C.O.D.
The pumice shoe
The pumice shoe, …
The pumice shoe

Super Stinky Man

This crosses "Do It Again" by the Kinks with a gassy superhero.

Driving to the middle of nowhere
Windows rolled down for the wind
Coughing when I'm cruising the motorway
When I'm out of breath  (Out of breath)
Because it's back there you farted
Stunk the air up again
Drive and I pray, try to blow it away
And then you do it again  (Do it again.  Do it again)
Now we found your super power
There the air we're breathing again
Super villians seek surrender
Get up, go out, do it again
And then it's back there you farted
Saved the whole town again  (Stunk the air up again)
Back there you farted
Go on, do it again  (Do it again)
And you think the world is going to get better
Pass some gas and do it again
Give 'em a fart and knock 'em over
Today you will, but where will it end
Because it's back there you farted
Stunk the air up again
Driving all day, try to air it away
Then you do it again  (Do it again. Do it again. Do it again)
In days gone by you thought you were an average guy
Average friends and a dull set of clothes
You had no suspicions events would affect those
Your dull house, your dull car, your dull job, your dull nose
But you ate some broccoli and it's saving the day
Because the way that it fermented keeps making villians say
Give up. I give up  (Give up. I give up)
Back there you farted, saved the whole town again
Back there you farted, go on and do it again  (Do it again. Do it again)
Back there you farted, saved the whole town again
Day after day they give up and I say
Do it again.  Do it again.  Do it again.
Day after day they give up and I say
Go on and do it again  (Do it again. Do it again. Do it again.)

Hobbit Love Song

This focuses the attention of "I Love You Like a Love Song" by Selena Gomez & the Scene upon JRR Tolkien's hobbit Bilbo.

Second breakfast time
In a hobbit hole home gotta stop and dine
So relax your feet, eat up and unwind
Have some herbal tea, and a yummy bun, it's an elven one
In this hobbit home, time to eat, you and I, we two alone
An edible, hobbit full, bellyful
To break my fast again
And I just want to know, Bilbo
Are you hungry?  Have an elf cake, Bilbo
I, I love you like an elf cake, Bilbo
Honey Hobbit, have an elf cake, Bilbo
And I'll braid your hairy feet-feet-feet-feet-feet
Are you hungry?  Have an elf cake, Bilbo
I, I love you like an elf cake, Bilbo
Honey Hobbit, have an elf cake, Bilbo
And I'll braid your hairy feet-feet-feet-feet-feet
Stay with me, and let no wizard take you away from me
Say goodbye to those dwarves and their questing pleas
You need food to eat, wouldn't you
Don't you feel like having elf food
It's so yummy
It's known elvenkind bake with mastery
These are flavorful, honeyful, wonderful
These are… And I just want to know, Bilbo
Are you hungry?  Have an elf cake, Bilbo
I, I love you like an elf cake, Bilbo
Honey Hobbit, have an elf cake, Bilbo
And I'll braid your hairy feet-feet-feet-feet-feet
Are you hungry?  Have an elf cake, Bilbo
I, I love you like an elf cake, Bilbo
Honey Hobbit, have an elf cake, Bilbo
And I'll braid your hairy feet-feet-feet-feet-feet
My own foot hairs
Groomed and done up, with dwarven braid cords and love
The way to your heart, that cute belly ball
A meal that goes on and on
Are you hungry?  Have an elf cake, Bilbo
I, I love you like an elf cake, Bilbo
Honey Hobbit, have an elf cake, Bilbo
And I'll braid your hairy feet-feet-feet-feet-feet
Are you hungry?  Have an elf cake, Bilbo
I, I love you like an elf cake, Bilbo
Honey Hobbit, have an elf cake, Bilbo

Grasses Get Mowed

This crosses "Ex's and Oh's" by Elle King with an inexpensive gardener and the cast of Seinfeld.

Well, I knew a little lady, and she was in a jam
So I did all her yardwork, and put out her garbage cans
Whoa, I made some bread to blow
Well she told Mister Kramer who's been spreading my name
'Cause I trimmed his roses and they're really a pain
Hey, hey, and then I met the Vandelay's
One, two, three, they refer neighbors to me
Cause I'm the best gardner that will gardner yards for cheap
One, two, three, they refer neighbors to me
The green things always grow, and I always pull the weeds
Grasses over grow-ow-own, their lawns be
Get it mow-ow-owed, they want me, to rake the ya-ar-ard
It grows you know
Grasses get mowed
Got an extra fiver pruning two whole trees
Mister Ping told the Putty's and they tipped Babu to me
My, my, how those grasses grow high
I get five, I'm the guy for the mow
Doing yardwork, weeding, and trim the hedges low
You know, that's how this gardner rolls
One, two, three, they refer neighbors to me
Cause I'm the best gardner that will gardner yards for cheap
One, two, three, they refer neighbors to me
The green things always grow, and I always rake the leaves
Grasses over grow-ow-own, their lawns be
Get it mow-ow-owed, they want me, to rake the ya-ar-ard
It grows you know
Those grasses over grow-ow-own, their lawns be
Get it mow-ow-owed, they want me, to rake the ya-ar-ard
It grows you know
Grasses get mowed
One, two, three, they refer neighbors to me
If they're short of money, do the job for a grilled cheese
One, two, three, they refer neighbors to me
The green things always grow, and I always pull the weeds
Those grasses over grow-ow-own, their lawns be
Get it mow-ow-owed, they want me, to rake the ya-ar-ard
It grows you know
Grasses over grow-ow-own, their lawns be
Get it mow-ow-owed, they want me, to rake the ya-ar-ard
It grows you know
Grasses get mowed
