We Didn't Bake The Idea

I'm too lazy to do the entire song from start to finish tonight. Maybe over the next week or so.

       Can you do 'real' songs as well?

       I can see you sitting behind the computer Unabubba, tapping your foot and singing this song over and over again, trying to get the right words to fit.   

       It would be a very strange sight to walk in and see this in action.

       [angel], I have written probably hundreds of poems and I often speak to my son in rhyming verse. He'll probably grow up with the skill, having reached 8 months today.   

       I have long had a facility for churning out impromptu poetry. Years ago I used to do it in a street theatre group. It's easier to do song parodies in this place, because the other 'bakers all know the tunes and cadences of the popular stuff which I butcher for these posts.   

       [benfrost], I actually do it silently and very quickly, the words just flow by some mechanism I don't understand. This took me longer than the others because it's quite complicated. I cut it short after about 40 minutes because I have to go and get some sleep.

       Is it just me, or does this just not scan?   

       "We didn't bake the" works easily over "We didn't start the", but it's FAY-er vs eye-DEA, and that just kills it for me.

       We need a BubbaCam.   

       jutta: it is a bit awkward, but it kind of works if you make yourself accent the "eye" instead of the "dea".

       Sorry, local dialectic pronunciation. Aussies tend to overprononuce the long "i". It never occurred to me that it wasn't international in sound.

       So, Billy Joel and Queen seem to be what's in the CD player most at the UB home....do you *need* me to send you a copy of Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits, Vol. 3?   

       Ben: yes he is....couldn't you tell by his taste in music? <grin>
Susen, Jun 07 2001
  

       ....and I was standin' by the side of the road...rain soaking into my hat.....headin' out to Queensland.... to visit UB's cat......look at me....wearin' hat twenty-three......

       Maybe we're amazed at the way you do this all the time
Maybe we're impressed every time we read you
Maybe we're amazed at the way you make our handles rhyme
Hang us on your lines
Maybe we're amazed at the way we really need you ...

       SC, Bundaberg does a range of brewed soft drinks... Sarsparilla (Root beer to you), Ginger Beer, Horehound... The sort of thing which was popular during your prohibition years. We used to make our own Ginger & Horehound beers. As kids we were terrified of the stuff. The bottles would sometimes explode from the pressure as it fermented. You'd get it all over you and Mum would know you'd been mucking about with it, so you'd get a good walloping for that.   

       Man, this is way off-topic, but I'll clean it up soon.   

       Another joke, from the Monty P boys
American beer is like making love in a canoe.
Making love in a canoe?
Yes, it's ****ing close to water. Boom, Boom!

       blainez didn't mean to offend unabubba. How about vending machines that dispense Spam - where after you put the Euro in, you gotta hold your hand out to catch it before it slithers thru the grate?

       I don't think this is long enough...
