Changing lyrics to songs..

GarageSmoker · Aug 20, 2002

As I drove around the front 2 acres Sunday using my new disc to condition the soil and finish killing (I hope) the kudzu that called this land home, a couple of songs came to mind:

"Discing the night away"; Chubby Checkers
"I'm all disced up"; Elvis
"I disced it my way"; Frank Sinatra (and I think Elvis also)

So am I nuts or does anyone else do this? Any examples, or suggestions for treatment?

Only one comes to mind...

A word of caution:

I used to make up lyrics as I was mowing the fields. Then I'd sometimes sing them. Sing is used loosly here. I would have my hearing protection on, and my musical efforts would sound, to me, suitable muffled. Then one day, after a particularly creative medley, I finished up the field closest to my neighbor's house and went in for lunch, where upon my wife asked me what I had been screaming about. As I was much closer to the neighbor's place than my house during this exercise, I have since watched them whenever we meet, expecting some comment about my unusual "talent".

Before I got into this thread, I thought you might be talking about getting the original lyrics wrong, i.e., singing what you thought were the right ones until someone mercilessly corrects you. I refuse to give examples. A local radio station, years ago, coined the term Chronic Lyricosis to describe the condition.

As for making up your own lyrics, I'm with bgott. When I'm alone, I apologize to Whomever heard them, and let it be. Too bad we can't be solving great social dilemmas or working out personal problems when we're alone, huh?
