SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!
The Song Challenge: Love
And Spots!! Well, Challenge!rs -- Spring has sprung for most of us, and of course, at this time of year, every species experiences a little flutter of the heart and then, well, instinct takes over...
Perhaps inspired by his own 'instincts', our own Hyperabid has suggested the Challenge! topic of "first crushes and the opposite sex moving from pain in the *rse to "Why has God blessed me with a sex drive and acne at the same time!??".
An excellent and timely suggestion. So, there you go Challenge!rs -- Songs about 'your first love and/or crush'.
Now I know we've all gone through this -- let's see what you can put to a tune!
First Crush by Hyperabid
(Tune: Always Look on the Bright Side of Life - E. Idle)
The first girl in this mantra
Was a pretty child called Sandra
I was nine and she was nearly ten
I told my Mum we'd marry
She laughed and said don't tarry
Do it before she gets to know men
Your first crush will never be your first wife
On this fact I'll happily bet my life
Inexperience is bliss
Until life takes the piss
Innocence is great 'til first heartbreak
When you're courting your first girl
Go ahead give it a whirl
But don't be shocked when you're left in the wake
Your first crush will never be your first wife
On this fact I'll happily bet my life
The next girl on my list
Was a contortionist
A pretty Asiatic dream co true
But she was from a catholic country
With a shotgun toting family
So French kiss was 'bout all we got to do
Your first crush will never be your first wife
On this fact I'll happily bet my life
Well then came Caroline
A girl who was finally mine
An English rose who knew just what to do
A seventeen year boy
Was pleased to be her toy
But then she left and my life went askew
Your first crush will never be your first wife
On this fact I'll happily bet my life
(Key change)
Your first crush will never be your first wife
On this fact I'll happily bet my life
When you find a wife
Then you'll think you've found a life
But that's day one it all starts in from there
When the littluns are a screaming
And she's talking about leaving
You'll think back to the past and wish you're there
Your first crush will never be your first wife
On this fact I'll happily bet my life
(Play and/or whistle)
