DUers write new country song from Lounge posts

[pinboy3niner]

This is the rough draft, based on posts by applegrove, MrScorpio and rug...

I ate the Pain Away

Oh, damn, my Ikea shelf just broke
And there are books literally EVERYWHERE!
Oh, the humanity!

I need some more o' them little pins
But the IkEA store map was drawn by the guy who does their assembly diagrams
And I'm lost in bonkers again

And to top it off, my wife won't leave
but my dog done run away (I loved that dog)
And now I got squeaky shoes to boot!

Jack oblivion was tempting
But I crushed me up some mini Heath Bars, sprinkled them on some ice cream...

And ate the pain away.
Ate the pain away, oh
Ate the pain away

Based on...

DAM. My IKEA shelf just broke. Piles of books everywhere. Anybody know if ikea

I'm sure Loungers will help us get to a much improved final draft. But now that we've stumbled onto the idea of turning Lounge posts into songs, I see a lot of no-pants hits in our future.

1. Ha!

Somebody need to make "Don't tuch the butt" into a song.

Maybe with this beat for the youngsters....

[msanthrope]

12. Damn....that's the first one I thought of. nt

[applegrove]

2. And I can just see KD Lang singing "E-VE-RY--------WHERE-----"

3. When Your Love Grows Old

It's 86 degrees

at a 11 PM


I said I would try everything

you wanted me to do


We made it only about halfway

through Batman vs Superman

When I realized you really wanted Robin

...to make your dreams come true

Beneath your little wing

is a trillion dollar treasure trove


But why must the blessed event ...

become bloopers from the Game of Thrones?

and why do you have to be in full emo to enjoy Mr. Robot?

(Chorus)

Does it always have to be...the greatest show on earth?

And why does it always have to be daily holidays and fields of gold?


I guess that's why you should put your mask on first when your love is growing old.

4. Wow!

A salute to you, my friend!

[Solly Mack]

5. I like your song too.

I took the challenge seriously.

LMAO

[Major Nikon]

6. Definitely not the perfect DU C&W song

There's no mention of Olive Garden, breast feeding, or pitbulls.

[Wounded Bear]

7. Funny, but I don't hear CW it that...

I hear Henri, the Existential Cat.

[malaise]

8. I came over her to rec

this

[Laffy Kat]

9. I think you've got something there! nt

[MrScorpio]

10. Im honored, y'all

[Baitball Blogger]

11. Me too!

Taking a page from Henri the Cat: Nearly six decades alone on this planet. Finally, I am part of something bigger than I am.

13. pinboy3niner is an inspiration and I was really hoping more Duers would weigh in with their own

songs, because the idea is brilliant.

Your thread inspired me, too.
