Today I was thinking of when I was fifteen and I auditioned for a play being put on by the drama club. I’m not sure why this popped into my head but lucky for you it did. So, for the audition I decided not only to sing a song…I rewrote one. I created a parody of the Barry Manilow tune I Write the Songs. Not only was he a smooth crooner with great hair he was also a well known jingle writer in the 70’s and 80’s. This became my muse to create a masterpiece of sophomoric proportion. I will give you just a sample of my high school genius which helped spawn my now ever abundant adult genius.
I write the songs that kids with boo-boos sing
I write the songs for Coke and Burger King
I write the songs that keep your under arms dry
I write the songs, I write the songs
I write the songs for all the food in your house
I write the songs the songs for Bell and Maxwell House
I write the songs that keep you cavity free
I write the songs, I write the songs
You get the idea. I did not get the part.
