Challenge #9 Celeb / Brand Inclusion

[Rudi]

Ive only just noticed this.

I'm game.

 

Lula

 

Lula wont ya Hoover up the floor.

You made crumbs yesterday, when you bit into your muffin

Your rag doll is sick and she’s spilling all her stuffing

You drop more and more but you never pick up nothing

And your mother said she saw you drop some more,

So Lula wont ya Hoover up the floor.

 

It glides along the ground

It makes a Hoover sound

You like it when the kitten follows it and you around

And don’t forget sometimes what you think you lost is found

 

Lula run the Hoover over there

You promised that you would, when I took you winkle picking

We winkled all the morning but now the clock is ticking

You only make it worse by giving rag doll a kicking

Give her to your mother, and she will sew the tear

and Lula run the Hoover over there

 

It glides along the ground

It makes a Hoover sound

You like it when the kitten follows it and you around

And don’t forget sometimes what you think is lost is found

[Rudi]

Now I am serious

And yes so mysterious

There are four of us now

Getting through to you somehow

Now it’s us and them

I-phones brought us together again

 

 

That could become a whole drama infused series...

[Kel]

Hey Les, since when did Kermit play a guitar? He's a banjo frog!

K

Just realised it isn't a frog, it's more like that obnoxious alien from the movie a few years ago. LOL Old eyes!

Well heres my effort, Done today.

 

Theres a joke line in the bridge and I couldnt think of a good title.

 

Oh to be Young?

 

V

I see them when I’m in town

Wandering from shop to shop

Gucci bag clutched in hand

Time by a Cartier watch

 

V

Fingers draped in diamonds

Necks all wrapped in gold

Chanel dabbed all over

Not wanting to look old

 

C

They ponder on the things they’ll buy

Will it be Dior or may be Ralph

Their yesterdays are long, long gone

But they just can’t face the truth

 

V

Time no longer on their side

Pursued by life’s cruel clock

Find answers on a TV show

Presented by the GOK

 

V

Vogue, headline “look fantastic”

Take inches off the hips

Bend your friend Mr. AMEX

Get some Botox in the lips

 

C

They ponder on the things they’ll buy

Will it be Dior or may be Ralph

Their yesterdays are long, long gone

But they just can’t face the truth

 

B

The easy life hasn’t been too good to some

The Jenny Craig diet didn’t fix the bum

One more face lift the surgeon cheered

One more face lift she’ll have a beard

 

C

They ponder on the things they’ll buy

Will it be Dior or may be Ralph

Their yesterdays are long, long gone

But they just can’t face the truth

 

Outro

The reflection they see in TopShop’s pane

Is one from which they can’t hide

But still they search for the magic pill

In a vain attempt to turn youths retreating tide

Good Show Skin!

OH how I hate when someone gets their lips done. It looks disgusting!

But Ralph/truth aren't quite hitting my Stateside ears right...perhaps with a New Zealand accent it might rhyme better? lol

I loved the beard in the bridge.

Rudi, this was great!

I was thinking she was a dog (I don't have kids so my dogs are often called Hoovers around my house!) Ha ha ha! but then you mention mother to sew the tear and I had to concede Lula is a little girl.

I had to Google Winkle Picking...you are making me do homework here!

But most of all this line really touched me:

And don’t forget sometimes what you think you lost is found

I look forward to more entries in the coming weeks from you!

Welcome to the Weekly Challenge, Rudi. Good to have you aboard. It has been a hoot!

 

I love this, and I don't even know what a winkle is!

 

Nothing much to offer from my end except perhaps some more?

Hi Les,

 

A wee poignant this one? Me thinks so, anyway. There are a few tongue twisters in there, but melody and accent may sort them out. "Dior or..." for example.  

 

Don't know the joke you were referring to, and there is nothing there about sheep, so you got me flummoxed!

 

The last line I think seems more like a reference to "time's relentless tide"  but you're the writer, not me. What do I know, I'm an Aussie!

 

LOL

 

Nice write, mate.

Les, this song has class. I could almost see this

in a Broadway Comedy Musical, like Auntie Mame. I

really enjoyed it.

Welcome Rudi to the Weekly Lyric Challenge, a very cute song. Very

original and imaginative.

Kel

LMAO How could you miss the joke? Do we really need to explain? Really? Maybe a diagram is needed. Volunteers, anyone? I thought on a couple of embellishments to the basic joke while typing this as a way to make it more obvious but they just became cruder and cruder lol

John! Shhhhh!

 

I'm trying to have the ladies think I'm too refined to get that joke! And Aussies can't go past any opportunities to refer to Kiwis (even emigrated ones) about sheep.

 

NO, NOPE! See nothing untoward there at all... what joke?

 

Kel

[Kel]

I see you lurking in the heather, John!

[john]

Kel writes from an Aussie perspective

Lyrical jokes, and pokes and invective

Mr Magoo blind for a verse

He missed the perverse

A great sheepish, defective detective!

[john]

Trying to pull the wool over their eyes? A likely story. Lol cunning in it's simplicity and very convincing.

[Kel]

Shhhhh!

[Kel]

Les, Les, Les, Les, Les!

 

Australia has more sheep, yes. However, New Zealand has, per capita, more sheep than anywhere!

 

Forget Surf City where there's 2 girls for every guy... NZ counts the sheep in the thousands per every guy!

 

You moved there, let's not forget that!

John, he did almost have me convinced but the blinders eventually come off and I can see the whole Kel picture! It's ok, let him try...it's cute!

LOL

this week has gotten out of control! two weeks in a row with all this crazy fun. I don't think I've laughed so hard in years!

thank you my fellow Songstuffers!

Goldy, now I'm singing "open a new window" and it will be stuck in my head all day! I guess it's better than "we need a little crhistmas" right? LOL
