For Jameka, based on MmmBop, by Hanson. You make so many alliances in this house Only one or two will last You go through quiet as a mouse Then you turn around and they're backdoored fast And they're backdoored fast So hold on the ones who know to play In the end they'll be the ones who stay When you get bold and start losing your way Can you tell me who will still say Can you tell me who will still say... Mmm hmm, umm mmm hmm mmm Mmm hmm, umm mmm hmm mmm Mmm hmm, umm mmm hmm mmm Mmm hmm Plant a seed, plant a rumor, plant a lie You can plant anything, they'll buy Keep planting to find out which one flies Tell a secret, it's all lies Tell a secret, it's all lies In an umm hmmm there's God, in an umm hmmm you did swear In an umm hmmm there's God, in an umm hmmm you did swear His path's already there Sometimes not fair Mmm hmm, umm mmm hmm mmm Mmm hmm, umm mmm hmm mmm Mmm hmm, umm mmm hmm mmm Mmm hmm Can you tell me? You say you know but you can't share Can you tell me why this isn't going fair? Can you tell me if it's going to be an Eric or a Kail? Can you tell me why this won't really be fair? Can you tell me? You say you know but you can't share.

This is a quick one. It just came to me after watching today's happenings. It's based on Garden Party, by Ricky Nelson. I went to a back yard party to check things out with my house friends A chance to watch new visitors and hear some songs again When I got to the back yard party, they all played a game No one recognized them, they acted all insane But it's all right now, I tried to listen well. You see, ya can't save everyone, so ya got to save yourself People came from all around, everyone was there Someone brought some bunnies, there's a pirate in the air 'n' over in the guest house, much to my surprise Mad Hatter played with Dustin's things, he was half his size But it's all right now, I tried to watch them well. You see, ya can't save everyone, so ya got to save yourself lott-in-dah-dah-dah, lot-in-dah-dah-dah Quartet sang some old songs, thought that it was free No one heard the music, they wouldn't pay the fees I said hello to a statue, he gave me a start When suddenly he began to move around, recreating art But it's all right now, I tried to listen well. You see, ya can't save everyone, so ya got to save yourself lot-dah-dah-dah (lot-dah-dah-dah) lot-in-dah-dah-dah So they opened up a bag of clues and we tried to take it all in Trying to score but it's just no one had an idea what we'd win If you gotta go to back yard parties, I wish you a lotta luck But if solving clues is not your thing, I really think you're f***ed But it's all right now, I tried to listen well. You see, ya can't save everyone, so ya got to save yourself lot-dah-dah-dah (lot-dah-dah-dah) lot-in-dah-dah-dah 'n' it's all right now, I tried to listen well. You see, ya can't save everyone, so ya got to save yourself

I had a few minutes and sketched this one out. The Italian comes from Babel fish. This is based on Volare, by Dean Martin (amongst others) Donato, oh no lo grido, ho ho ho ho Let's get them out of the way They threaten us every day Well, Big Brother can watch them, the cameras have caught them as Dick threatens our lives, they don't mind We'll all leave in confusion and so disillusioned of mind For no matter the weather, his face tough as leather it shines Donato, oh oh E assalto, they got to go He yells and my happy heart sinks A Yo-Yo without a string When Dick threatens to rape you and then hopes you die Then he turns it around and says that it's all been a lie He says it's all for his daughter, he'll go on and slaughter us all as we sleep in our beds something will hit our heads Donato, oh oh E crudele, oh oh no no Your game, has made us all weak No wonder Daniele won't speak All your rock friends, your film friends will see what you've done, hang their heads and will turn away You've turned into a stranger, the danger will only get worse if you stay It seems that the more that we have to say, the more that you play Donato, oh oh Diavolo, oh no no no You leave and my happy heart sings You're gone and my heart takes wing Your game, has made us all weak No wonder Daniele won't speak

This is Jen singing. Based on "A Town Without Pity" by Gene Pitney When you're young and so pretty as me And bewildered that they don't agree Why do people hurt me so Only those in here will know What a house without pretty will do People stop to ask if I'm a star But in here it's how bad we are This is not an easy stage We're dysfunction in a cage What a house without pretty will do I think I'm gorgeous, oh so gorgeous That everyone should look at me Why don't they see it, try and see it Before this day get over all their jealousy I'm the only one who looks this hot I got looks and all those girls have not How can I keep everything Have Nick buy me a ring When I had to separate those two what a house without pretty will do How can I work jealousy How they wish they were me If their little plots work then I'm through What a house without pretty will do No, it's really such a pity what a house without pretty will do"

Based on "Ring of Fire", by Johnny Cash. Lies are a hurtful thing, And their accusations sting Tempted to conspire-- I fell in with a ring of liars. I fell in with a vicious ring of liars -- They went on, on, on And their tales spread wider, And they'll burn, burn, burn, A ring of liars, a ring of liars. The taste of vict'ry's sweet Not when lies repeat. A man will protect his child -- Oh, but the man went wild. I fell in with a vicious ring of liars -- They went on, on, on And their tales spread wider, And they'll burn, burn, burn, This ring of liars, a ring of liars. I fell in with a vicious ring of liars -- They went on, on, on And their tales spread wider, And they'll burn, burn, burn, This ring of liars, this ring of liars. A ring of liars, a ring of liars..."

This is based on Land of Confusion, by Genesis. She must've cried a thousand tears Been in there for a million years But she can hear the ticking clock Telling her, she's on the block. Now she can't Sashay or Shante Tyra Banks won't look her way But she thinks she can go all the way Both with Mister and Miss Jay. There's too many tears Too many people Thinking "too many problems" And not much sense to go round Can't she see She lives a life of delusion. This is the house she lives in No veto, she won't be stayin' Use it or she'll start crying In this place she won't be living in. Ooh my dear Lord, where are you now When everything's gone wrong somehow She didn't mean to hate the Jews And have it show up, on the news. There's not much time Left in this place Doesn't look like a future But there's not much chance she's around Can't she see, she lives a life self-deluded. This is the house she lives in No veto, she won't be stayin' Use it or she'll start crying In this place she won't be living in. Remember, not long ago - Ooh with their faces shining Yes and their stars shone bright Both day and night And the sound of their laughter As we held on tight Seems long ago - She might be going home tonight This generation is quite a fright They sit 'round making promises That we know, they'll never keep. There's not much time Left in this place Doesn't look like a future But there's not much chance she's around Can't she see, she lives a life self-deluded. She's sequestered with Dustin No romance, he's only playin' Cryin' 'cause she's not staying In this place she won't be living in. This is the world we're watchin' And these are the guests we're given Stand up and start complaining Just where this show is going to.

This song is based on Hey There Delilah, by the Plain White T's Hey there Deluded What's it like to be on TV? You're a thousand miles away but gee, tonight you look half-witty Yes you do There's millions much brighter than you I'd swear it's true Hey there Deluded Don't you worry about repentance We're right here when you get backdoored Here's my song but you can't listen Close your ears The sound of my voice would calm your fears If not, try beers Oh we all see on TV Oh we all see on TV Oh we all see on TV Oh we all see on TV All see on TV Hey there Deluded I know the game's getting hard But just believe me now Someday you'll pay for all the backstabbing You'll get it good The afterlife won't be so good You'll burn like wood Hey there Deluded I've got so much left to say But every simple song is just so long And this would take all day I'd write it all Each bit about your rise and your fall I'd tell it all Oh we all see on TV Oh we all see on TV Oh we all see on TV Oh we all see on TV A thousand miles seems fairly near But they've got planes that drag banners I'd purchase one if it would do some good Your friends, they all make fun of you except for those who hang their heads in shame They wear glasses and wear a hood Deluded, I can promise you That by the time you get through The show will never ever be the same And you're to blame Hey there Deluded You'll be gone and we won't miss you Few more weeks and you'll be trivia No one who plays will have the slightest clue You know it's all because you do The things that we don't like from you Hey there Deluded here's to you This ones for you Oh we all see on TV Oh we all see on TV Oh we all see on TV Oh we all see on TV They show it on TV

Actually, something during lunch hour today. This is for Jameka. It's based on Dominique, by The Singing Nun. "Oh, Jameka, meka, meka I will tell of poor Jameke She lived to keep her word And I hope to sing this song To tell how they did her wrong That the truth shall now be heard! I will tell of Poor Jameka as upon the Lord she calls As she questions the wisdom of big blue bouncing balls! Oh, Jameka, meka, meka it's not good for poor Jameke The ball bounced others' way The producers let it go Cause it made a better show! And no one shall save the day! “You are out”, said Julie Chen as she spoke about the game, “Someone else will be the winner, let them nominate your name”! Oh, Jameka, meka, meka once again it's poor Jameke What burdens she does bear With pure courage she will play She's looking for a way! She hasn't got a prayer!"

Thanks, Roppiepie, Scooterific, and Vee! My job is keeping me so busy, that my output here is much less than in previous years. Vee, I haven't seen the video, but I'll check it out when I get home. The filters at work prevent me from opening video, anyway.

Thanks, everyone. It's been fun, again. I didn't get to do as many songs as usual this year, but the ones I did were fun to do. Let's all do some next year.
