Ok, Adam writes the songs, too!

[SAT-I need more room!!]

This is a parody of a song, ala Weird Al. Since it's a country song, I guess it would be ala Cledus T. Judd!

The song is Blessed by Martina. Although it was a number 1 country song in 2002, I know not everyone knows it. (If memory serves, Ken, Lora, Dawn and Kathy know it) So I am printing the REAL lyrics first.

Some lyrics rhyme with the original words, others are the exact lines.


Ok, when we first got Martina's GH CD and listened to it, my wife and I both loved Blessed. We thought what a beautiful song it was.

But, we all get stressed out at times, right? So anytime my wife is at her wits end and says, "I feel so stressed out!!" because of bills or our daughter's terrible twos, I start singing, "I am so stressed...."

So I decided to write up some lyrics! LOL! It's all in good fun. My wife is NOT as bad as the person in this song, I did a lot of embellishing.

Hey, all husbands drive their wives crazy-it's our job!

But, we love each other, this is all in fun. I just "sang" it for her, and she was cracking up!


Here is the REAL song:

Blessed
I get kissed by the sun each morning
Put my feet on a hardwood floor
I get to hear my children laughing
Down the hall through the bedroom door
Sometimes I sit on my front porch swing
Just soaking up the day
I think to myself, I think to myself
This world is a beautiful place

I have been blessed
And I feel like I've found my way
I thank God for all I've been given
At the end of every day
I have been blessed
With so much more than I deserve
To be here with the ones that love me
To love them so much it hurts
I have been blessed

Across a crowded room
I know you know what I'm thinking
By the way I look at you
And when we're lying in the quiet
And no words have to be said
I think to myself, I think to myself
This love is a beautiful gift

Repeat Chorus

When I'm singing my kids to sleep
When I feel you holding me
I know

Repeat Chorus



And here is my spoof!


Stressed


I get pissed at my spouse
each morning
Grit my teeth at him once more
I can hear my daughter screaming
to watch Spongebob just once more
Sometimes I sit on my couch thinking
is there an end to this day?
I think to myself, I think to myself
This house is a sty of a place

I am Stressed
And nothing really goes my way
I ask God to get me through this
another stressful day
I am so Stressed
So much more than I deserve
(Oh) to get rid of the bills before me
to not worry about socks and shirts
I am Stressed

Crap throughout the room
Lord, what are these people thinking
Looks like a cyclone hit the room
And when I'm lying in the quiet
And I feel my pounding head
I think to myself, I think to myself
I'd love to give him a kick

-Repeat chorus-

When that kid of mine won't sleep
When I hear you bitch at me
I know

-Repeat chorus-



Hope you like it!

LOL - that is so funny, especially the line about Spongebob! ;D I enjoyed reading it!

Bravo, bravo!! Wonderful!

I did a parody of a Jo Dee Messina song once for a class assigment. I wonder if I still have that lying around somewhere...

[H2IZCOOL]

Great job!! That's really funny. We could call you "Weird Adam"

Good thing your wife is "in" on the joke, or you'd be in seeeerious trouble, my friend. ;D

I was hoping you would notice this post, since you were asking me to write some lyrics!

LOL-Bekki's sense of humor is usually pretty good, but yeah, if I just posted on here and Martina's site without telling her, she might be mad!

Great parody, Adam! Although I'm not familiar with the song, it seems like a pretty good "twist". And of course we all feel stressed now and then.....

Thanks! It REALLY helps if you are able to sing the new lyrics to the melody, but you can kinda get the gist of it.

I know the feeling! Jonathan managed to lock me out of hubby's & my bedroom yesterday AND the day before that! (He locked the lock and then left the room & shut the door, so he wasn't in it when it was locked.) The first time, I went outside, stood on a chair, opened the window and let him go in the window and opened the door (of course he was grinning mischievously when he did this). The second time, I think he did it because he wanted to go in thru the window again. Well, I couldn't get the window open that time, so finally I wound up using a little screwdriver inside the lock and that worked. Of course, Jonathan got a BIG lecture from mom.
