Ok, submission #1. Yes / No? Too negative? I'll keep working.


Well now, we get low and we get high
We're all getting fat on humble pie.
Sitting here typing on our screen.
We're a freaked out bunch, drinking Valvoline.
You know it's all right, it's ok.
If we don't live to see another day.
Please don't try to understand.
We know our skills are in high demand!

Whether you're a writer or whether you're a fighter,

You're typin' the jive, typin' the jive.

Feel the keyboard shakin' and everything a breakin'

while we're typin' the jive, typin' the jive

Uh, huh, huh, huh...typin' the jive, typin' the jive

Uh, huh huh huh...typin' the jive.

Now, you can tell by the way we use our head
We're sharp and crazy, but not brain dead.
Some are loud and some are warm,
In a discussion or challenge, we're like a swarm.
Is it all hype? Is it ok?
Some of you may think this gay.
We can try to understand
Just don't fill our underwear with sand!

Wow, Zeb, you've found your calling! I can't believe what a great job you've all done! I'd take a swing at a verse but I KNOW I can't do any better than what's been written so far. Hey Moon, why don't you type out the total song in the correct order and we can tweak some of the lyrics a bit. Otherwise, the content is great! Kudos....

Final stanza:


You learn about us. We're your entertainment.
You got to love us. Yeah!

You learn about us. We're your entertainment, yeah!

Typin' the jive!

I like all the suggestions!! My thoughts are subjective though, as I tend to enjoy a bit of an "attitude" in such things. Zeb has always done well in his approah to things--always with a bit of a bite--an attitude. So I find his work nice. Although the others impart a very clear message that works too.

A conflict for me, since they all are worthwhile to chose from!! Lizza is on me, since I'm about as creative as a rock. I can remember old songs though! It's almost Halloween, and an old song to go with that woudl be "Monster Mash"!!

Now we could have had some fun with that!! Well, you could have--I suck at this!

Ok, everyone. I pieced together a few previous ideas into this full song. What does everyone think about it?

The T-Shirt idea would be awesome!

Thanks Moon, thanks Roger. Does anyone else have any suggestions on this version?

Awesome Zeb---hats off to the parody man.

I think it's great.
Thanks for the organization and thought you put into it, along with everyone else.
It gets my vote for the finished product.

WTG everyone.

Vyk,

I just grabbed the lyrics off the website and ran with it. Your lyrics were in the second set of archived messages and I missed it. I'm sure we can place them in there. In fact I'll put them in there now and repost. My only concern was matching the same number of syllables as much as possible to the original song. I'll post it up and see what we can do with it.

Ok, another version with Vykin's lyrics added. Sorry about that Vyk!

Alright, I'll put my "hateful" opinion of Zeb aside for this post to congratulate Zeb on an awesome job.

You have a remarkable talent and it's cool that we had the opportunity to access to it and bear witness to it. Thanks Zeb.

Since I know I can't come up with anything better, I say we go with it.

Great job, Zeb. :)

Zeb, I had to do a disappearing act for a while tonite because "My People" were on tv tonite.
Meaning West Wing, Also had a meeting at my sons school about grad preparations. Couldn't put them aside. (Especially West Wing). Thanx for including my measly verse. I understand ur explanation, and didn't want the outsiders to think I didn't at least suggest something.
thanx buddy

Moon: But know your offerings were pretty damn good. Zeb came in and dominated the challenge and left no room for suggestions. And since he came up with something, why not use it?

He ideas were good, that goes without saying.

But we should have been given the chance to make this into a group effort. I don't like the way he billdozed over your ideas and never gave them any consideration.

Oh well, whatever.
