Shout

Shout

Yo Mama's a Trout

She is the one we're talking about

Come on

She's ready to spawn

Come on

Making up ridiculous lyrics has gotten me through retail work. Hearing the same songs multiple times a day gets old real quick, but funny words make it easier to tolerate.

One set of alternative lyrics that my brain can't let go of goes to Miley Cyrus's "The Climb."

There's always gonna be another cow there
I'm always gonna wanna make it moo
Always gonna be a field of cattle
Sometimes it's what I've got to do

Going to take this opportunity to share a scene from one of my favourite TV shows:

Gus And Shawn Perform 'Shout' On American Duos | Psych

…plus it comes with a bonus Tim Curry!

There's something magical about the word "squirrel" (pronounced as one syllable, skwerl, for those who live in a region where it's pronounced with two syllables and never heard it that way before). For example:

Everybody wants to rule the squirrel

You're my brown-eyed squirrel

This is the squirrel we live in (whoa-oh-oh)
And these are the nuts we're given

Squirrels on film
Squirrels on film

Don't give me no hand me down shrews
Don't give me no hand me down chinchilla
Don't give me no hand me down squirrel
I've got one already

Blind squirrel
  (Blind squirrel)
    (Blind squirrel)
Talkin bout blind squirrel (Blind squirrel!)

Do it enough and it starts happening automatically. Music will never be the same.

No need to thank me.
