To the tune of...?
ROFL. I hadn't heard that one before. But now I'll be singing it all day too.
We can be a nationwide solo-member choir together. (That made no sense. Sorry.)
Word verification: clumily. I clumily made my way through this comment.
Hope you had a good laugh from my ramblings.
The one I sing goes like this:
I'm a kniiiiife
Knifin' arouuund
cutcutcutcutcutcutcutcut
With thanks to Space Ghost.
is that the theme song to the new freddie kruger movie where he works as a publisher? Cuz it's kinda scary.
Ha! Hilarious. :)
the "cop-
y editor" part cracked me up. No one was around to hear me laughing, which is good because then I don't look like a loon, but bad because it probably means I am one. @_@
Ummm do you get Babybug? Lol that song (about carrots) was in one of their issues... I need to get out and have time with people out of diapers.
I like it! Beats the heck out of that other song I've had running 'round in my head lately.
And I kinda like this one, from Roger von Oech's Creative Whack Pack, too:
Editor: "I like your book except for the ending."
Author: "What's wrong with the ending?"
Editor: "It should be closer to the beginning."
(BTW, the card is entitled, "Simplify")
Using the melody from the Lumberjack Song, no doubt.
OMG, this cracked me up. I want to know the tune, however. You'll have to post an audio clip.

Why NO, I hadn't heard that particular song. Is it a Jarvis Cocker tune? It's dead catchy though ;-).
I've said it before; 90% of my editing process is cutting adverbs and adjectives. :)
Love it!
You crack me up, I can just imagine a little animated moon rat and a chorus line of dancing scissors singing this. no idea about the tune, but it still works.
Maree, that is brilliant. I'm going to paste that next to my monitor.
I heart you.
I hear some heavy drums in the background.
Ah, but it reminds me of my Stab Song, which starts with 'stab, stab, stabbity, stab. Stab the jerk and stab the brat...'
Whole different use for it, but I guess great minds think alike.
Hmm… I like it!
Outstanding!
I´m going through this process right now.
Minus 6 thousand words later (for only 100 pages)and on going, it feels like I´m doing plastic surgery on my book. It´s painful, but hopefully, it will be more atractive. Oh boy...
Okay, now that song is stuck in my head.
Oh, that was you? Haha. Thought I was just hearing random voices in my head again. ;)
Nope, hadn't heard it before. Are there dance moves too?
Egad your song has the aspect of a slasher film...I can see the madness in your eyes as you wield your pen slinging red ink in wide swaths while you mouth the words in a garbled and maniacal aria.
If you really want it to stick in my head, I need the tune. But I LOVE it.
Some poor author somewhere will not be loving that tune as much as do, I'm thinkin'.
Ha, ha. Hilarious.
hahaha! Babybug from, like, a year ago! There's a picture of a hedgehog chopping carrots along with the poem.
Now you've got me singing it every time I'm cooking.
Ouch! Happy Chopping.
I lOVE your blog. It is short and to the point :) and veryyyyy entertaining!
