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!
Oh The Springtime, It Is Come by Bradypus
(Tune: The Wild Mountain Thyme)
Oh the springtime, it is come
And my acne, it is blooming
My face is red with spots
And my lank hair needs some grooming
Will ye come, lassie, come
Chorus:
And we'll both go together
To do who knows what or why
In this foul springtime weather
Will ye come, lassie, come
In the spring to love I turn
With my hormone levels rising
And I'd love to find a girl
But that would be quite surprising
Will ye come, lassie, come
For my self-esteem is low
And it's surely getting lower
And I sit and think and sulk
Will my waiting e'er be over?
Will ye come, lassie, come
For with angst my soul is ridden
It is hard to have no loving
The imagination flies
And my thoughts are ever roving
Will ye come, lassie, come
Then the springtime came again
And this year there's someone with me
The sad youth I was last year
Has been condemned to history
Will ye come, lassie, come
Chorus:
And we'll both go together
For I now know what and why
I don't care about the weather
Will ye come, lassie, come
