JPF Home Page Forums Lyric and MP3 Feedback Lyric Feedback Forum 3 Song Contest for August

Snowman,

that was a fine song about the land down under. (it was australlia, right? just making sure. the only dead giveaway was the "outback" line

now We had better haul ass outta here for Sheriff Beauford T Justice and junior show up. "West bound and down 18 wheels a rolling, we gonna do what they say can't be done... we got a long way to go and a short time to get there..."

Well Steve, how do I ex[plain, but my beautiful wife is bright green in her drivers license photo...hmmm...tis the truth LOL

rittman

Well howdy-do Bree!

While I am mightily intrigued by your mysterious association with our resident freedom fighter Steve, I am content for the moment with his kind introductions-all-around. He did a fine job indeed, capturing my essence in a single-ish sentence; and sadly, I have validated his claims by falling down on the beach yesterday and spraining my LEFT ankle (I'm currently recovering from a broken left ARM and broken right foot.)

But enough about me....thanks so much for joining our little party here! I very much enjoyed your piece...I wonder about a title too. I like the idea of DIVE, and especially liked the way you used it in the third verse, as in "Let's Dive". But since your story is more of a recollection, maybe it would be fun to play on the old "Gone fishin'" line... call it "Gone Divin'"? Of course, that would mean changing a few things, and frankly I like it the way is.

So if you ever feel like sharing the origins of your Snowman alter-ego, do not hesitate to send me a PM. And as for driving beer trucks, well, all I can say is that I've been IN a truck with beer in the past...but not in any official capacity.

Again, thanks for jumping in...and for being so sneaky as to include not only a country but a CONTINENT in our little challenge here....

So ciao for now,
Beth, just stumbling along...

Hey Rittman,

I THOUGHT I had seen you on this thread earlier...how clever of you to include ALL the countries of the world by singing about the "Earth" -- though I may have to disqualify you, because the Earth also does include the prohibited United States (spank, spank!)

Otherwise, loved your ditty. Short and sweet!!

Ciao for now,
Beth

Hey Steve,

First off, thanks for the intros with "Snowman"...sorry I had to add to my role as resident Klutz....

Secondly, while I do think there are enough countries to keep this baby going for a while (especially since some of those bad boys in Africa keep changing their names with each coup,), it'll probably be fun to move on in a bit.

In the meantime, I think everyone should just be thankful I didn't add the extra parameter of having to feature the countries alphabetically, or by using the first letter of their first name. I guess perhaps I can associate a wee bit with that MARQUIS mentioned a while back ....

Later all, companies approaching...gotta get my ace banadage all gussied up....

TTFN,
Beth

Beth...

sorry to hear about your additional misfortune. Hope you heal up soon.

As for my "mysterious" association with our resident freedom fighter...well...I s'pose we are kindred spirits of sorts. Ya see we were each other's firsts....now ya'll need to go get your minds outta the gutter. First collabs on JPF. Geeesshhh....I just don't know about ya'll sometimes.

We also happent to hail from the same origin...the Tarheel State. As for that "bandit/snowman" connection. Well...that's a complicated story...lol. I'll just leave it at that...gotta keep a lil' mystery..right?

Thanks so much for the warm welcome to the challenge arena & I look forward to the next.

Bree

Hi Beth,

Looks like us Pineyfolks missed out on a lot while we were gone. Suppose, it'll take me a while to catch up around here.

Sorry to hear about your fall. Hope you're repaired and free from all the 'bandages' soon.

Vanessa

Apologies to Jake Owen and the writers of "Startin' With Me."


FARTIN' WITH ME
(©2007 BobbyJoe)

I HAD A GAS ATTACK AT MY SISTER'S FORMAL WEDDING
AND TO THIS DAY SHE STILL WON'T SPEAK TO ME
I BROKE MY GRANDPA'S RECORD POOT IN POLAND
ON A CASE OF BEER AND A PLATE OF TURNIP GREENS
I CUT ONE LOOSE NEAR MY OLD MAN ONE CHRISTMAS
I NEVER DREAMED THAT IT WOULD KNOCK HIM DEAD
I WISH MOM HAD CORKED MY HOLE
WHEN SHE CAUGHT ME WITH THOSE CABBAGE ROLLS
WHICH REMINDS ME, I'M DOWN TO MY LAST HEAD

(CHORUS):
IF IT WAS A CRIME
FOR ALL THE GAS I PASSED
THAT DIDN'T MAKE A SOUND AT ALL
I'D BE LIVING EVERY DAY ON DEATH ROW
IF ONLY I'D HAD BLOWN
THOSE STINKIES ON DOWN THE ROAD
I'D LOOK BACK AND MAYBE I COULD BREATHE
IT'S BEEN A GAS AND A HALF
FARTIN' WITH ME

I GASSED MY BROTHER EVERYTIME THAT I SAW HIM
ONE NIGHT HE COULD BARELY CRAWL AWAY
I LOST MY JOB ON TV DOIN' WEATHER
BY LAYING ON THE FLOOR AND LIGHTIN' FLAMES
AND I LET A BIG ONE THAT I HAD RIP THROUGH MY BRITCHES
CHALK ANOTHER DUNG MOVE UP TO PINTO BEANS
I WASN'T THERE SITTIN' ON THE THRONE
WHEN OL' JERRY SPRINGER PHONED
SO I LOST MY CHANCE TO ECHO ON TV

(CHORUS):
IF IT WAS A CRIME
FOR ALL THE GAS I PASSED
THAT DIDN'T MAKE A SOUND AT ALL
I'D BE LIVING EVERY DAY ON DEATH ROW
IF ONLY I'D HAD BLOWN
THOSE STINKIES ON DOWN THE ROAD
I'D LOOK BACK AND MAYBE I COULD BREATHE
IT'S BEEN A GAS AND A HALF
FARTIN' WITH ME

IF ONLY I'D HAD BLOWN
THOSE STINKIES ON DOWN THE ROAD
I'D LOOK BACK AND MAYBE I COULD BREATHE
IT'S BEEN A GAS AND A HALF
FARTIN' WITH ME

Bobby Joe,

That was a...err...Blast.. I saw that you mentioned Poland, so it fits the challange. For Pete's Sake open a window.... he he he

-steve

Rittman...

I went to the country music hall of fame, where they have a kids section where you can color in a cowby. I turned mine into an alien, and put the word "believe" under it. he he he

-steve

Beth,

I hate to hear about your ankle. (just sit down and write for crying out loud).


Bree Gave me a chance to show her what i was capable of back in the fall of last year. (before i purchased my recorder.) In case you haven't noticed, i am stuck in the land that time ignors. there are thousands of movies, but the best one i have seen in the last few days (with the exception of 300) was smokey and the bandit. And i dubbed Bree as "snowman" then she wanted to be the Bandit, but i told her she had to grow a mustache, but she refused, then we sold the trans am, and just sat down to get drunk on a whole truck load of beer. (to make a short story long...) he he he

-steve

Bree,


I had to tell, she was tickling me. and i can take torture, and can handle being unfed, and marched for months, but i just can't handle tickling, Please don't hate me snow man,,, We still have half a truck load of beer to drink. (and it's getting warm....

hand me that beer bong.
-steve

Thanks for your sympathy, Vanessa....and looking forward to hearing about what WE were missing!

And don't worry, there's no time frame on this, so feel free to hop on the bandwagon!!

Ciao,
Limpy McGee

Hey BobbyJoe,

Um, first off, glad you could stop by....and yes, as Steve mentioned, happy also to find Poland amidst the mire!

Secondly, while I'm not a huge fan of breaking wind tunes, this story has clearly been building up for a while , so I'm glad we were able to give you this outlet. And in truth, it is quite a jolly tale!

While normally I would say thanks for "sharing", I think this time I'll just say thanks for playing!! And honestly, I'm quite delighted that you felt so free to write this sort of song on this challenge....(though I do feel a bit sorry for Poland....it always seems to get a "bum rap" -- LOL!)

Hope you're feeling more comfortable now...
Beth

Bree and Steve,

As for you two and your clandestine shenanigans (there are two good words right smack in a row!), I think there are makings for a good song here! It appears you've been each others muses in various incarnations...so let's hear more about it!! You've already got your title: "Snowman and The Bandit". And there are just oodles of words that rhyme with bong!!!

You might even stretch it a BIT, and somehow work in how you've been NAUGHTY in the Land that Time FORGOT-TY!

I bet Bree, you're really impressed with my rhyming skills now!!

Talk to yall later...

Just hopping along,
Beth



P.S. Just fixed post....by mistake had deleted word "clandestine"...sort of ironic I suppose....
