"Cleaning Gets Old" (Katy Perry "Hot N Cold" Parody)

The story of my day-to-day life.

I recorded and mixed the music in Garageband and edited the video in iMovie. My kids get all the credit for the mess. :-)

Lyrics:

You know that's not where we put dirty clothes
Why do you make a mess everywhere that you go?
I spent several hours, made this room look like new
Now it looks like a hurricane went through

Chorus:
Oh cleaning gets old
The mess has to go
I scrub high and low
But you never would know
Don't know why I try
to clean this pigsty
I wake, I pick up
They break, they mess up
Do they put their things away? No!
Do they hear a word I say? No!
Oh cleaning gets old
The mess has to go
I scrub high and low
but you never would know

My house used to be
Organized and quite clean
Then kids came along
Well, you know what I mean
They're my pride and my joy
Couldn't love them more
But I wish that I could find my floor

Chorus

Someone call the cleaner
Need a shop vac and a carpet steamer
You better call Hazmat
It smells like something died.

Chorus

I found this video when I was blowing off some steam about cleaning up after my husband! He is worse than your children if you can believe it lol Sometimes, you feel so alone when it comes to stuff like this, but this really helped lift my spirits. Thank you!

[LeeshaHarvey]

@renct519 You're welcome! Glad I could help lift your spirits! When the mess is so big I could cry, I try to see the humor in it... hence the song. :-) Hang in there!

Man, this is AWESOME. i am constantly singing and making up songs and my kids thinnk im crazy! Lol. I made them watch this...although I doubt it will have any affect on them. Thanks for the entertainment though, you're funny!

[LeeshaHarvey]

@heatherobert My kids think I'm crazy when I make up songs, but now after many years of listening to my off-the-cuff parodies, they have begun making up their own. I'm a little embarrassed to admit my son attempted a song about potty humor to the tune of "Jesus Loves Me"... obviously, this skill takes awhile to develop correctly...!

[sharondmckee]

How do I buy this song?

[TheNevia]

Very cute.

[bklizard]

I really must say, this one is one of the better of the parodies of this song... Some of the other ones I'd just shut off after a few seconds... But this one is pretty alright!

[shawnreide]
