SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!
The Song Challenge: From an interesting newstory:
A rather special headline in today's paper caught my eye. It was situated over a
story describing how, in these days of the 'Net, you no longer have to pull on
your Justins, hitch up your Levis, place your Stetson on your head, or smell the
sawdust and funk from the stockyard, to go to the cattle auction. That's right
folks, you can bid on that bessie over the ethernet. The story described a
"3-1/2 hour Web event, offering about 3,500 beef cattle to 36 competing
bidders in seven states . . . confirm(ing) the next evolutionary cycle of
livestock marketing." So, here's the headline for which you are
challenged to write a song for: ONLINE BOVINE
Whoopie Ty Yi Yo eBAy Your Doggies by Jack the Sailor
I was surfing the world wide web for pleasure
I came upon a curious site
Them cowboys was selling their cattle by Email
From early in morning till late into night
Whoopie Ty Yi Yo, git yer doggies on eBay
You send 'em your money, they ship to your home
Whoopie Ty Yi Yo git yer doggies on eBay
It's easy to buy them, but they're harder to own
Well I won't buy cattle uless I see 'em
But this might just be a good way to buy sperm
Breed virtual cattle with machine semanation
You better make sure that your offer is firm
Whoopie Ty Yi Yo, git yer doggies on eBay
You send 'em your money, they ship to your home
Whoopie Ty Yi Yo git yer doggies on eBay
It's easy to buy them, but they're harder to own
