Save Your Ears Rap for 2010 BHSM Song and Video Contest

This is Meridith Richter's video for the 2010 BHSM Song and Video Contest. I wrote a rap about saving your hearing and then made my stuffed animals sing along to it. I hope you like it!

Lyrics to Rap:

We all like music, we all like sound
Yeah we all like to make our hips swing round
To a song with a good beat and a good vibe
That makes us feel better when were about to cry
And to do all that we need our ears
Which use little hairs to help us hear
But when youre jamming out to an awesome song
Youre ears, well, they start to feeling somethings wrong
See theyre fragile, delicate, they need protection
And they can be damaged if you dont pay attention
Damaged by head phones turned too loud
Especially ear buds which condense the sound
And straight into your ear is that sound bound
But thats not the only thing harmful to your hearing:
A loud concert where everyone is cheering
Its so excitin you dont realize the musics blaring
But not to worry, theres some simple solutions
To help you save your ears and start a revolution
First you gotta resist the urge to turn the music louder
And if you can do that, you should feel even prouder
And stay away from ear buds as tempting as they sound
Because over the ear head phones are healthier all around
And if you do go to a concert like I know you will
Dont be ashamed to bring earplugs thatll keep your ears chill
Just be smart, I know you can
And in the end your hearing will be as good as it began
