Re: New Pornographers Challenge #3

Well, here I am again, doing these challengers for only Clapton knows why.

This is another one-take affair. Part of this policy of mine is out of necessity - my pitiful little webcam doesn't have the battery life to make it through multiple attempts. But also... I mean, seriously... I have important stuff to do. I guess I'm addicted to the New Pornos' challenges now, but I don't want to spend too much of my day coming up with stuff like this.

Here are the lyrics to my spoof of "The Fake Headlines," entitled "My Head Lice":

I scratched my head today,
Until the scalp was turning red.
I had to call my nurse,
To come and sterilize my bed.
All these parasites,
They think my head is just like home...

And when you see the eggs laid in my head by all these bugs, yeah...
Then you'll know how hellish my life has become,
My head lice... they always come back.
My head lice... they always come back.

I tried a new shampoo,
They only laughed and had a cow.
I tried to shave my head,
They only hid in my eyebrows.
You know I'm startin' to think,
That I can never ever win.

'Cos when you see the eggs laid in my head by all those bugs, yeah...
Then you'll know how hellish my life has become,
My head lice... they always come back.
My head lice... they always come back.
My head lice... they always come back.
I cry... I cry... I cry, they always come back.

Now I can't see my friends,
They think I might be contagious,
I can't even sit still,
The itching's gotten outrageous,
I'm gonna stick my head,
In the nearest vat of acid I can find,
They always come back.
My head lice... they always come back.
My head lice... they always come back.
My head lice... they always come back.

P.S. I did actually catch head lice in summer camp about 12 years ago. It was as hellish as this song describes, I assure you.

Haha, the was pretty good, I could tell your were running out of breath, but it was still very good, did your knee get red after?

[MrSilentG]

Ha ha, true indeed. I am not a trained singer, not by a long shot. Breath control remains a mysterious art to me...

I drum on my knees routinely (with actual drum sticks, too!), so this little ditty was nothing.

[HildaBennett1]

[mallermole]

For just the first few seconds I thought this was a disgrace to the original but that quickly faded and I found myself lol'ing. Great job!

[DancingSpiderman]

You, sir, are a True WordSmith.

[wellyes]

Better than the original? A fitting commentary on the incongruity of the Newpornographers image and songs? You decide.
