Someone told me I could be arrested for my bad singing. So I wondered what that event would sound like. I made up a verse while Greg picked out chords and basically was sending through Skype as he played and then we drug Skelley into it because we thought it would be funnier if Elvis was actually alive and working as a policeman (even though everyone knows he works at a 7-11 in Lubbock). I do put up serious songs now and then too, like this one: http://www.songramp.com/mod/mps/viewtrack.php?trackid=81707
Policeman (Dale Crockett): Jon Hanson! Put down the microphone and back slowly away. Jon: Now what?
Policeman to his partner: Officer Miranda sing him his rights!
Skelley Sings: Elvis style
You have the right to remain silent
Every song that you post can be held against you
You have the right to a vocalist or even two
If you can’t afford one instrumentals will do
In just 3 minutes you’ve broken all rules You need a time out in a bad writer school With all them conjunctions that serve no function You’re bound to get sued …by Jason Blume…. Spoken: And I wish you could get your near rhymes a little closer And how about a plot line in your story you big hoser Robert Frost said no tear in the writer no tear in the listener And every song about a woman don’t have to be about missing her Posting a song like that son is just a crime Maybe you should consider a career as a mime I know you think you’re putting on one helluva a show But you’re heading for SONGWRITERS DEATH ROW Jon: Whut, whut are the charges? Policeman: YOU ARE CHARGED WITH: 1. Twanging in Gospel song and laughing in a blues song 2. One count of geographical confusion Jon: That wasn’t me that was Dave Rice,…he goes to Minneapolis every third song… Policeman: 3. Posting songs too often (which means more than we want to hear) Jon: I’m innocent! I tell ya Policeman: You won’t be after a night in the Pokey
