I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry...although I'm doing both anyway. :lol:]]> Sunday Songwriters Group Pilot https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg2-week-46-tabloid-rag/#post-70593 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg2-week-46-tabloid-rag/#post-70437 Thu, 23 Sep 2004 23:25:29 +0000
Marv, I tweaked that 3rd line, I think it reads better.

Everyone, Thanks for the comments. I'm real glad you liked it! :D

this is hilarious :lol: absolutely cool, sing-along fun song:)
like this one very much!
some folks have amazing lives :D they do:) I don't think I'd be welcome,
in that never-never land. it'll do me a world of good,
at least Nostradamus
prophesied it would. these are great.

how do you do it? your stuff never seems to be confused in structure and your songs are always focused(seems I'm always focused,
on the current task at hand, :lol: ) and not sidetracked too much.

good job:)

i ahve to agree with the others, you did a great job. when i read the assignment nothing jumped into my head. i hadn't thought of anything like this. i like the humorus upbeat note to this song. plus you managed to name all the big names of the really bad/off the wall rags.

great job as usual. have to give you a pat on the back for posting so soon. :D i guess this assignment really spoke to you.

I had this same idea when i started thinking on the assignment and thought "Ya know.. Scratch could do beter at this then you could". So thank you for proving me right. Great read. Very entertaining. Always a pleasure.

One thing... you use "munchies" and "much" in lines right after each other. The words are kind of similiar in pronunciation so it may be a bit awkward for singing.... that could just be in my head.

Tabloid Rag
========================

I stopped in at the Jiffy-Mart
for some candy bars and such.
I was feeling mighty peckish,
but I didn't want too much.

While standing in the check-out line,
I couldn't help but see,
some folks have amazing lives,
I wish it could be me


Somebody saw Bat-Boy,
in West Virginia yesterday,
Somebody saw Elvis,
buying spam at the Circle-K
A young couple saw Sasquatch,
running for the trees,
It's the kind of thing
I'll prob'ly never see.

I started thinking of the things
that go on every day.
I'm sure that I would see them too,
if I looked the other way.

But it seems I'm always focused,
on the current task at hand,
I don't think I'd be welcome,
in that never-never land.


where a Russian space-baby,
was raised by Siberian wolves,
there's a picture of Churchill,
on a two-headed calf's left hoof,
If I start smokin' garlic,
it'll do me a world of good,
at least Nostradamus
prophesied it would.


Somebody saw Bat-Boy,
in West Virginia yesterday,
Somebody saw Elvis,
buying spam at the Circle-K
A young couple saw Sasquatch,
running for the trees,
It's the kind of thing
that escapes the likes of me.
