Fat Lady Sings For Don't Forget the Lyrics
The fat lady sings for
Don't Forget the Lyrics TV show last night as the summer finale brought the show to a close for a while. I guess I should say, "The fat man sings" since it was a rather hefty dude who almost had a heart attack on stage after winning $50,000.
With help from his uncle with the words to Johnny Cash's "I Walk the Line," the contestant stooped over, short of breath, either farting or having an infarction. The rotund dude recovered, but had to bow out for missing one lousy word on the Garth Brooks song "Friends in Low Places".
Don't forget to watch
Don't Forget the Lyrics when Fox re-ups this TV show next season.
Songwriter Searches Going Strong
It's always good to see the songwriting community going strong. What is especially encouraging is how many people are searching for songwriters for various reasons. So, to help get the word out, I thought I would speak of a few upcoming venues for songwriters.
If you happen to be on the East coast and up the Vermont way, then why not stop into Burlington at 7 pm tonight on Church Street for the Starbucks Music Makers Competition. If you happen to be on the West coast up NoCal way, then you may wish to stop in San Jose this Sunday for the 4th Annual Songwriters Festival at the Montalvo Arts Center's Garden Theatre as the event is happening all day.
And, if you’re an old rocker who isn't yet confined to a rocker and would like to send your songs off to the Aging Well Rocks! Song Competition in Evanston, Illinois then follow the
link on this post to do just that.
Misheard Lyrics I Like Better Than Originals
Misheard lyrics are nothing new. Since song began, people have been singing the wrong words to the music. Usually, when I find out the real lyrics, this is a corrective experience for me and it opens up a light into the artist's true meaning of the song.
There are a few instances, however, when I find out the real lyrics to a song and I prefer my own since the real lyrics tend to muddy the waters in regard to the meaning of the song rather than clearing things up.
So, here’s my top 3 set of music lyrics where I actually prefer my own words to the original:
1. In Queen's
Bohemian Rhapsody, "Gotta Moosh, Gotta Moosh, will you do the Fandango" instead of "Scaramouche, Scaramouche."
2. In Led Zeppelin's
Stairway to Heaven, "It's just a sprinkling for the May Queen" instead of "spring clean," not that it makes a big difference.
3. In the Police song,
King of Pain, "There's a black cat caught in a high tree top" instead of "black hat".
Then again, maybe Muse Dog has a bias when it comes to cats in songs.
I Wanna Be Like Osama Lyrics Featured in Jihad the Musical
Okay, Jihad the Musical is sure to stir up some discussion as this clearly mocking parody will nonetheless hit a little too close to home for some to handle. Be that as it may, the fact that Jihad the Musical mocks the world's most wanted man in blatant fashion also will give others a good laugh similar to that which can be found in the play, The Producers, which mocks Adolf Hitler.
One of the main songs from Jihad the Musical is "I Wanna Be Like Osama" and you can watch the
video and judge for yourself. For educational and entertainment purposes, I'm also including the I Wanna Be Like Osama lyrics on this page.
I Wanna Be Like Osama Lyrics
I wanna be like Osama
I wanna bomb a path to fame across the earth
I know people may abhor me, but by God they won’t ignore me
When the CIA determines what I’m worth.
I will delegate the killing to the malleable and willing
But be sure to have top billing when the news gets around,
Please make me like Osama B.
I’ll be Islamically renowned
I wanna be like Osama
I want aplomb, allure and flair that can convince
If I hadn’t been so rowdy, they’d have let me stay in Saudi,
But I couldn’t play the big leagues as a prince.
So I film eloquent reminders that the Yanks have yet to find us,
Though we’re happy to attack them on home ground!
Please make me like Osama B.
I’ll be Islamically renowned!
And they will speak of me throughout history,
Oh, what bliss to be al Mansour
I’ll enact my plan, be the bogeyman
With a brand new holy war
I wanna be like Osama
I wanna wear designer clothes beneath a robe
While my lackeys loom like vultures, I’ll declare a clash of cultures,
Kill civilians by the millions round the globe
Grow a beard down to my navel, conquer YouTube, get on cable,
And be wealthier than any man I know
Please make me like Osama B.
With an Al Jazeera Show!
Who could ask for more, to be six-foot-four,
Oh, the name Mansour will be known
And I won’t be missed on the wanted list,
With a jihad of my own! Yes a jihad of my own
I wanna be like Osama
I want celebrity and riches that astound
Please make me like Osama B.
I’ll be Islamically renowned! I’ll be Islamically renowned
Michael Vick's Top 10 Songs
The recent allegations about Michael Vick have struck a special chord in Muse Dog's heart, as one might imagine. If the barbaric allegations are true against Michael Vick, this will most likely mean the end of his career plus jail time. And, this possibility got Muse Dog to thinking that if Michael Vick is convicted of abusing animals, what kind of music will he listen to in prison?
So, I've put together my top 10 list of what I think will be Michael Vick's least favorite songs to listen to while he is incarcerated.
