Link, first: http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=12821753Greg started it, with a post on Facebooki--that I told him probably had a song in it. We ended up writing it together. Lyrics follow. Thanks, folks. Joe [4/4; verses are a blues, chorus and bridge are a polka] THE SONG THAT SAVES THE PLANET (2014) --Greg Swartzentruber & J. Wrabek 1. G This song’s got no uranium, or saturated fats; G7 It eases global warming, you can feed it to your cats, C It supports the Constitution and religious freedom, too: G The focus groups say one of these is prob’ly right for you; D It’s sugar-free, and gluten-free, and dolphin-safe and stuff— C G And it’s gonna save the planet if you sing it loud enough. 2. This song ain’t homophobic, the GMOs are gone, It will fertilize your garden, you can spread it on your lawn; It’s non-profit and non-partisan, and saved a million trees, It’s friendly to the flowers, and it won’t kill off the bees; It’s lacking in the fracking, and approved by God above-- And it’s gonna save the planet if you sing it loud enough. CHORUS C G This song’s environmentally friendly, politically correct, C G D You can sing it in the shower for that dampening effect; G C It really shocks the neighbors when you do it in the buff [HOLD] C G D G And it’s gonna save the planet if you sing it loud enough. 3. It’s organic and it’s vegan, and we left the fluoride out, It still won’t give you cavities; it feels good in your mouth; It’s low in carbohydrates, and the carbon footprint’s small, It doesn’t burn up fossil fuel, has low cholesterol; It’s gender-nonspecific, it spreads peace and hope and love— And it’s gonna save the planet if you sing it loud enough. CHORUS: This song’s environmentally friendly, politically correct, You can sing it in the shower for that dampening effect; It really shocks the neighbors when you do it in the buff [HOLD] And it’s gonna save the planet if you sing it loud enough. TAG: C G You can sing it with your friends, you can sing it on your own, C G D You can call up your Congressman and sing it on the phone; G C Sing it with sincerity, and turn the volume up [HOLD] G D G ‘Cause it’s gonna save the planet if you sing it loud enough; C G D G Yes, it’s gonna save the planet if you Sing… It… Loud… Enough. © 2014 Greg Swartzentruber & Joe Wrabek. All the usual rights reserved just in case. No planets were harmed in the writing of this song.

Joe:
I'm listening now... and enjoying every word of it. You two did a great job and I hope you lure somebody with a massive following to record this and make you both deliriously wealthy.
Shocking neighbors can sometimes be a good thing.
Thanks for taking the trouble to share this.

This is hilarious, Joe. Love the usual tongue in cheek, understated delivery. Wonderful write.

Thanks, folks. It was fun to write. I'll get to try it out on a live audience June 29, when I play "Souper Sunday" at the Grange. Hopefully, they'll like it, too.

Hey Thanks everyone for listening... But thanks mostly to Joe for seeing the potential in a silly post I made a month or so back and taking the reins to drive this to reality! I also want to let Joe know that this is begging for a video and I have plans on whipping one up shortly...
