19. That's some GREAT footage! Thank you for that. Made my day!

[DFW]

6. We did, but just briefly

I suppose we could have concentrated more on them, but I just write the lyrics. I don't do the video production. This was done in 48 hours from proposed lyrics to finished product. I thought it wasn't bad considering.

26. Wickedly funny, thank you!

[Hekate]

4. Was this by you? It's LOL funny & will be shared!

[DFW]

7. Guilty as charged!

Actually, I just wrote it. My partner from the Parody Project sang it and did the video.

9. Hubby & I found ourselves immediately singing The Battle of New Orleans -- at 1:30a.m.!

Yes, we are night-owls. Any moment now we’ll go to bed...

[DFW]

10. Glad to brighten your middle-of-the-night! n/t

[niyad]

27. Did you write the lyrics for "the BATTLE OF THE wall" as well?

[DFW]

28. No

I had nothing to do with that one

[7wo7rees]

5. Thank you DFW. Too much fun. But one thing not being mentioned is

how many boats had to be rescued and towed before they sank. Apparently a great number!

Absolutely love this!! Too very clever!!

[DFW]

8. This was done start to finish in less than 2 full days.

You have to cut us a little slack!

[Hekate]

11. It is perfect the way it is, if you ask me

We laughed & laughed

[7wo7rees]

12. I apologize. No complaints. Just a very big smile.

Can you point me to the original?
I just remember my brother and I playing to the song instead of "cleaning our room".
Much love and hugs and kisses to you and your family.

[DFW]

13. Here is the original

[7wo7rees]

14. Yep! That's the one! I love your updated version. Thank you. n/t

[TexasTowelie]

15. I went with a different tune: "The Wreck of the White Power Herald"

16. Humor is our best weapon in this battle.

Thank you for your service.

17. Brilliant!

Thanks for the laughs, DFW.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

18. Well done DFW, well done...

Played twice...so far...laughing all morning.

[Illumination]

20. You nailed it DEW! You captured the moment perfectly!...

[NurseJackie]

21. Cute, but the "double-exposure" effect was distracting...

Cute, but the "double-exposure" effect was distracting... it made it difficult to focus and to even concentrate on trying to read the captioned lyrics.

Clever... but still: B-

[groundloop]

23. Nope..... A+ all the way. "We packed our guns just in case we met some libbruls" is a winner !!!!

There are days when I need a good laugh, this did it for today.

[NurseJackie]

24. Nope... my overall grade was B- ... the lyrics, as you noted, were great. Very clever, weren't they?

Also, the performance iteself was good, but the video production value distracted and detracted.

[DFW]

29. Ah, well, you can't please everyone

The ironic thing is that Don Caron, the videographer, is a respected professional in the field, while I am merely an amateur lyricist. Don has won several award for his video stuff when he worked at it full time. Bill Clinton once called a set of my lyrics "priceless (I have it in writing in his own hand)," so while I don't do it for a living, I got praise from at least one high place.

Here are two others that we cooperated on. Maybe you'll find them a slower pace:

30. They can't all be home-runs. I'm very impressed with the lyrics, that's my favorite part.

[DFW]

31. Well, since that was my contribution

And the fact that it was my idea in the first place--I guess I can live with a less-than-perfect grade.

[Sloumeau]

22. Thank you! That was fun. :) nt

25. Love Parody Project

[DFW]

32. We have partnered with them in about 12 or 13 different videos by now.

We sometimes have our minor differences, but in general, we tend to be kindred spirits.
