Hooray for everything/PMS
This page, in it's current incarnation, is mainly a place for me to put the songs I have written for FAWM (February Album Writing Month) 2007 and am writing for FAWM 2008. It's a great little challenge, check out their website at www.fawm.org
Have a listen, in time I may add older stuff, we'll see...
Story behind the song
so, there's a reason I hate Mondays. the text that I sent my boyfriend this morning is a good example of why: "I hope your day is going better than jackhammers and midol"
but, in the spirit of FAWM, it actually inspired me, I started humming the first line of this to a tune I was hoping to use in a kids song about safety gear (that wasn't going anywhere)
at first I was torn, thinking I should write a song about these three apartment-living annoyances (jackhammers, leaf-blowers, and neighbors who karaoke to CCM so loud that they can't hear you knocking on their door at 7 in the morning), but I also wanted to keep it specific to today -- then I realized I could just merge them and make the song about PMS... not sure if merging it works tho, the first 3 verses are ironic and the last verse isn't...
maybe, now that the midol has kicked in and the jackhammer across the street has stopped, I can actually function...
Lyrics
Hooray for jackhammers
Who doesn't love jackhammers
'Cause without jackhammers, how would things get done?
Things like breaking up the sidewalk,
And backing up traffic,
And the way that it echos up and down the streets bouncing off all the tall buildings is sublime.
So you gotta love jackhammers
Can't live without jackhammers
Let's hear it for jackhammers, the world's best friend.
Hooray for leaf blowers
Who doesn't love leaf blowers
'Cause without leaf blowers, how would things get done?
Like blowing leaves off the sidewalk,
That you can hear 7 floors up,
At 7 in the morning when you don't get up until 9 'cause you don't work until 10:30; They make my day (miserable)
So you gotta love leaf blowers
Can't live without leaf blowers
Let's hear it for leaf blowers, the world's best friend.
Hooray for noisy neighbors
Who doesn't love noisy neighbors
'Cause without noisy neighbors, life would be so dull
They like to crank up their music,
And karaoke to it,
At 7 in the morning on the WEEKEND -- you'd think someone karaokeing to CCM would have a little more consideration...
So you gotta love noisy neighbors
Can't live without noisy neighbors
Let's hear it for noisy neighbors, the world's best friend.
Hooray for midol
Who doesn't love midol
Hooray for midol, and the things it does.
Getting rid of bloating,
Cramps and your headache,
And the fact that you even need it makes you want to rip someone's head off, 'til it kicks in.
So you gotta love midol
Can't live without midol
Let's hear it for midol, the world's best friend.
