SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!
The Challenge: This challenge was really a
proxy challenge/thread bleed from the Thought
for the Day - Feb. 8 thread. You'll have to read it to understand what
I'm talking about. Basically, it involves the film, The Wizard of Oz . . .
It was a 3-part challenge to write (or finish) the following songs:
(1) Munchkins Hangin' In Dem Trees (a/k/a Strange little Fruit); or (2)
The Storkin' Blues; or (3) Elementary Feminism (a/k/a Glenda The Good Witch Gets
Guilded)
Who Wrote the Wizard of Oz? by Jack the Sailor, MMario and SharonA
Chorus:
Who was the guy who wrote the Wizard of Oz?
What was he smokin?
Don't tell me he wasn't doing drugs
He had to be tokin'
Flying monkeys melting witches
Every minute the plot switches
Golden pavement symbolism
Giving me an embolism
Don't know what it is but it ain't wisdom
What was he smokin!
Chorus
Apple trees with deadly pitches
Houses dropping onto witches
Poppy fields as red as fire
Burning scarecrows fate is dire
Don't know what it is, it isn't courage
What was he smokin?
Chorus
Hollow tin man needin' oilin'
Lion from a fight recoilin'
Little girl with red shoes croonin'
Big fake wizard gone balloonin'
Don't know what it is, but it ain't brain cells
What was he smokin'?
Chorus
