My Song-writing Debut

Update: Libbie Muffin posted this. Sadly, it's not a joke.

This isn’t actually the first song I’ve written, or even the first of this kind. It’s just the first I’ve inflicted on the public. It doesn’t have a title. I’m sure you can think of something to call it.

Sing to the tune of “Hooked on a Feeling”. Pretend you're David Hasselhoff.

Words that are so simple
Don’t require no thought
Stir up my emotions
With pathos fraught

Yeah, I sing them
Over many times
All I ask is
That the verses rhyme

I-I, I’m hooked on a feeling
I’m high on believing
That this is worshipping

The second verse is kind of
Like the other one
Mindless repetition
Can be pretty fun

I just love this feeling
Flooding over me
Yeah, it’s warm and fuzzy
It’s kind of dreamy

When I stand here
Hands up in the air
With my eyes closed
I ain’t got a care

I-I, I’m hooked on a feeling
I’m high on believing
That this is worshipping

When I stand here
Hands up in the air
With my eyes closed
I ain’t got a care

I-I, I’m hooked on a feeling
I’m high on believing
That this is worshipping

I-I, I’m hooked on a feeling
I’m high on believing
That this is worshipping

I’m hooked on a feeling
I’m hooked on a feeling
I’m hooked on a feeling*

*Repeat until you just can’t stand it anymore. O, you’re already there? No kidding. Would you believe it only took about ten minutes to write this? Yep, it's true. I'm that fast. Too bad I'm not more prolific, eh?

I thought it was 7 verses sung 11 times?

7-11 is only a guideline, not a rule. Any music major knows that. The only rule of contemporary worship music is that it feels good. After trying to sing this one, I'm not sure it qualifies.

Great song! I'm going to try it out on my congregation on Easter Sunday!

Steve, let me know on Monday if you still have a job. Jeremy's song might be a better choice.

I like it. Have you copyrighted it yet?

Dear David, two things:

1. Stop stealing my lyrics and taking credit for them.

2. How many decades will it take to recover from the Hasselhoff/salmon-in-the-mouth video?

Dear Michael, two things:

1. I've read some of your songs. You're better than this.

2. I'm still haunted by that video. Why should you be different? Ooga chaka ooga ooga!

Ooga chaka ooga ooga...

Way to set up a straw man for the purposes of an argument. Pure brilliance.

Well hello, Mr. Strawman. Way to drop an anonymous comment with a phony email address for the purpose of defeating my argument. Pure Courage.
