Just ran across another song that has an obvious appeal to me...thanx brad!
Freaking the Mundanes
Tune: Waltzing Matilda
words attributed to Nerak la Tisserande, Vargskol Halfblood, et.al, with the note that you make up verses based on actual events, the closer to home the better...
Once a noble Baron held his court in Bordermarch,
Under the shade of the library.
And we sang as we marched down the sidewalk in our funny clothes:
you'll come a freaking the mundanes with me.
Chorus:
Freaking the mundanes, freaking the mundanes,
you'll come a-freaking the mundanes with me,
And we sang as we marched down the side-walk in our funny clothes:
You'll come a-freaking the mundanes with me.
Note: the third line of the chorus changes with each verse.
Led by our Baron, we trooped into the corner bar
"you must check your weapons!" the landlord cried.
And he stared as his bar disappeared beneath a pile of steel,
You'll come a-freaking the mundanes with me.
Went to the Norseman to hear Lee Majors shout "O-din!"
The price was right, we got in free!
and we sang as we sat and barfed into our paper bags
You'll come a-freaking the mundanes with me.
Baldwin the bard goes strolling down I-25
Singing his songs as a minstrel free
and he sings as the tourists stare out from their passing cars
you'll come a-freaking the mundanes with me.
Birthday revel breaking up, some of us still going strong;
"let's go to Farrell's!" we cried with glee
and we sang as they beat their drums and blew their sirens loud,
you'll come a-freaking the mundanes with me.
Fighter practice in the park, a chiming from the road was heard,
"Stand and Deliever" cried the bold company.
And they sang as they munched on their snow cones and their ice cream bars
you'll come a-freaking the mundanes with me.
Why sit at home and dream your dreams in solitude?
this will be fun, I quarantee.
Put on your costume, strap your weapon by your side
And come out a-freaking the mundanes with me.
