Our family is forever changing the words to songs to fit our situation. My boys of course always have bathroom humor in theirs, but it is great fun. I wrote this little ditty during Christmas time this past December. Many of you saw it already. It is set to It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year. It's the most wonderful time of the year With the photo shop always saving And everyone telling you no need to fear It's the most wonderful time of the year It's the hap-happiest month of them all With those polly challenges and fun filled chat meetings When friends come to call It's the hap-happiest Month of them all There'll be challenges for hosting EHD and hard drives not to be toasting And photos out in the snow There'll be scary journaling stories And tales of the glories of the M.O.C.s long, long ago It's the most wonderful time of the year There'll be much late night scrappings And gallery filled with clappings When loved pages that are there It's the most wonderful time of the year So, I know ya'll are talented and I thought it would be fun to have some other Cover Songs for the MOC!
How About I will survive? At first I was afraid, I was Kept thinking I could never scrap 31 layouts and keep the kids alive But then I spent so many nights scrapping clean and simple and the lyrics to a song And my skills grew strong I could just scrap along And so you’re back Another challenge I just saw it in the forum with that evil look on @AnneofAlamo 's face I should have saved that stupid picture, I should have chosen pictures for a pocket page If I’d known ahead that you’d be back with more journaling Go girl go, post your layouts in your thread Just one layout per reply Or you’ll get sorted out of the prize. Weren’t you the one who tried to break me with If Walls Could Talk Did you think I’d grumble Did you think I’d use up my scrap supplies? Oh no not I, I will survive As long as my computer runs I know I’ll stay alive I’ve got boxes of pop tarts here to give I’ve got my mojo kicking in and I’ll survive I’ll do thirty one hey hey. It took all the strength I had not to give it up Trying hard to get the items required in the Blind Scrap And I spent oh so many nights hitting that old “Refresh” key I couldn’t scrap without someone challenging me. But now I hold my head up high and you see “26” All of them new I’m not that template dependent person and I can scrap something new And so you post one more and expect me to give up But I’m saving all my mojo for some Polly’s challenging me Go on now go, post just one more Just post away In five days you’re not expected anymore. Weren’t you the one who tried to break me with “Fill er up” Did you think I’d fumble Did you think I’d close photoshop and cry? Oh no not I I will survive For as long as I know how to scrap I’ll try #25 I’ve got all my life to live Frozen pizzas in the frig and I’ll do 31 I’ll win the prize Oh go on now Post one more Just keep it fun Cause techniques make scrappin fun And we’re waiting for Alamo Weren’t you the one who tried to break me with extractions Did you think I’d blunder Did you think I’d close photoshop and cry? Oh no not I, I will survive Oh as long as I know how to scrap I do at least 31 I’ve got all my day/night to give And I’ve got all my mojo to scrap And I’ll do 31 I will Survive I’ll do 31.
Or maybe "Say Something I'm Giving Up on You" for all the Polly's who don't live on the East Coast Post something now I’m giving up on you I need some time to think it through The other side of the world needs to scrap it too Post something now I’m giving up on you And I’m feeling so lost It might be over my head Or something I know nothing at all I don’t want to do fumble and fail I’m still learning to scrap Just starting to extract. Post something now I’m giving up on you I’m don’t want to be sorry I couldn’t get to you Anytime now, I want to start on you Post something now I’m giving up on you. Oh but I want the prize Thirty-one is the number Before I’m saying goodbye Post something now I’m giving up on you I’ll toss and turn all night and check my Kindle too Anytime now would be good for me Post something now I’m giving up on you Oh Oh Oh Post something now I’m giving up on you Post something now.
a third one was starting but you know I've got scrapping to do. Thanks for the distraction Anne. Got my creative juice flowing.
@carilyne I am singing so loud (and off key to these both!) these are hilariously fun and thank you for playing! I can not get over Did you think I’d blunder Did you think I’d close photoshop and cry? that is pure magic!
That one was written with you in mind. I need to do an extraction obviously cuz it's on my mind. It was fun. Some days I can do it quick like that and some days I close the computer and cry.
^^^basically died laughing when I read this lyric! LOVE IT! But that could be related to my kids being sick almost all of January, and I really did wonder (1) "Can I keep up with MOC?" and (2) "Can my kids stop getting low-grade fevers with weird symptoms?!" So, this was oddly, and sadly, relatable. (Example: DS was diagnosed with strep last night but his symptoms weren't typical. Ugh.)
Oh I love these changed lyrics! I do that in the car with my boys quite often and they think I'm silly! Well, I guess I am!
so make us one. It's fun and nice to use some creativity a different way @treecity My kids are out of the house but I have one who has had sleep problems and the beginning of cold symptoms so I'm still mom and hear about it. I want him to go to the doctor and make sure it's not something like strep or something that is hanging on. Worse part of boys growing up is they become men and won't go to the doctor. I hope your house clears up soon. That's miserable. So many have had sick kids this MOC.
@carilyne, my mom is a (now retired) nurse, so I STILL call Mom when I'm sick or when the kids are sick! Even if I know that I should go to the dr (like yesterday), I still call her and explain the symptoms. And now, with smart phones, she even gets pictures of fun stuff like tonsils and rashes! Poor women should probably start charging me for her advice! (Naw, she'd never do that cuz she's a great mom and grammie. ) And I've been trying to think of a song. We love changing lyrics around here too, but I get so focused on scrapping that it doesn't occur to me to make a song for MOC. But I've got a band name. Instead of "Run-D.M.C." we could all be "Scrap-M.O.C."!
LOVE THIS!!! we have been sick most of January tooo...had to rush DD to ER 6:00am this morning and she was house sitting 30 minutes away....got meds she should be fine but boy I am ready for this sick in Jan thing to stop
@elk2009 I'm sorry your DD got sick! It must have been a stressful drive this morning! Ugh. I can't wait for the end of this germ infestation! It's just ridiculous.
