Yeah, I’m never going into the water again…

At this rate, I’m going to be able to release a new album very soon. I’d call it “Horrible Songs for Good People.”
Anyway, my friend Nate just had his first child. I decided to pull out the guitar again and write another song! It’s called, “Nate is a Daddy” and is dedicated to him and the new addition to his family. It features his interests (freeways), his favorite sports team (Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim), and my favorite sports team (Los Angeles Dodgers of Awesome).
Lyrics:
Nate is a daddy,
you can be one too!
Nate is a daddy,
what’s he going to do?Think of all the fun he’ll have,
waking up at night.
Crying babies, lack of sleep,
it’s such a beautiful sight.He’ll teach her about freeways,
And how the Angels suck.
She should be a Dodger fan,
for good luck.But all that doesn’t matter,
at the end of the day.
Because Nate is a daddy,
So what do you say?Nate is a daddy,
what’re you going to do?
Nate is a daddy,
you can be one too!
Today is Mark’s birthday. Mark is one of my roommates that I live with. I decided to write a song for him featuring references to his studies in science (bioengineering – eyes), his interests (Shark Week on the Discovery Channel), and his hobbies (making cheesecake).
I went ahead and recorded the song with my Kodak Zi6. So the audio quality isn’t the greatest (nor is the singing ability). But really, what’s the point of posting a video on YouTube if you’re not going to embarrass yourself, right? Here you go!
Lyrics are below:
Happy birthday to Mark
He studies eyeballs in the dark.
He wants to get his Ph.D
That really means a lot to me.Happy birthday to you Mark.
You enjoy shows about sharks.
And you’ll be a doctor one day,
Which will help with the bills you have to pay.You are my roommate!
And I think that’s really cool.
You make some great cheesecake,
that makes my mouth drool.
Happy birthday to you Mark.
Happy birthday to you.
Yes, that’s a chopstick and a twisty tie holding the plant up.
Just like our President! 😉
Hah, I *really* enjoy these Dos Equis commercials. I think it's a pretty hilarious ad campaign.
John Hodgman on Obama’s nerd credentials. So funny!
Amazing! Where do kids learn things these days? This guy is going to grow up to be a stud.
