karaoke rewrite
Going to Karaoke Thursday. I spent the weekend preparing. I have been practicing a Frank Sinatra classic. But I've reworked it a little for a modern audience.
Variations on "Strangers in the Night"
Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wond'ring in the night
What were the chances we'd be sharing bodily fluids
Before the night was through?
Something in your pants was so inviting,
Something in your pants was so exciting,
Something in my pants,
Told me I must have you.
Strangers in the night, two lonely,
lonely, lonely people in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello.
Little did we know
Sex was just a glance away,
A warm embracing grope away and -
Ever since that night I've never seen you.
Lovers for a night, in love for an hour or two?
It turned out -- well alright,
For strangers in the night.
(spoken)
And later, after a few hours of hot,
sweaty monkey love, we
acted out the roles from one of my
favorite Gilligan's Island episodes.
You played the professor and I
played MaryAnne. You had invented a
two-way radio from coconuts and seaweed.
Do you remember?
Then, after we toweled off, we watched
the Cartoon Network.
And do you remember what we saw?
We saw Scooby-dooby-doo...
And you put your arms around me and
told me your name. But I wasn't really
listening because we were at the part
where the bad guy says, "And I would've
gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been
for you meddling kids!" Well, that's my favorite
part. So I forgot your name. Sorry. My bad.
But, If you'd like to get together again
sometime, just come over and have a word
with me. I'll be sitting over in this area of
the bar. Thanks for your time.
I apologize for slaughtering a Sinatra
classic. I accept bribes to NOT sing again!
