Collaborative Songs Part 1

The absolute best part of Laughter Hours was bouncing comedy ideas around and writing funny stuff with Jesse.

I had an idea for a song parody back in 2000, so I sent him the bits I had, and he sent some back. It led to an extremely silly evening over the phone, and this:

Man, I still really miss doing Laughter Hours.

 Lovin' a Weird Al Polka

(Parody of Ricky Martin's
Livin La Vida Loca)

She's into acc-or-di-ons
They make her leap and sing
Her eyes light up like neon
When he starts that polka thing
 
(Instrumental Riff with added accordion)
 
She's into loud print sneakers
That are bright as any star
She blasts him on her speakers
At home and in the car
She'll make you wear Hawaiian shirts
in snow and freezing rain
She'll make you grow a mustache
and then shave it off again
Boy she really is a pain!
 
Alone or in crowds
She's lovin' a Weird Al Polka
She'll crank the volume loud
Lovin' a Weird Al Polka
Her cravings must be fed
For this parody writing  joker
She wears CD's out
Lovin' a Weird Al Polka
She's lovin a Weird Al Polka
 
First heard on Doc Demento
She became a rabid fan
When he's on  tour,
She tries to go to
Each single show across the land.
She'll follow him all over
from LA to Lake Champlain
Once you've paid for her air fare
Your wallet will be drained
She'll sing polkas on the plane.
 
Spike Jones makes her smile
But not like a Weird Al Polka
Stan Freberg's comic style
Can' t top a Weird Al polka
Sherman, Lehrer too
She finds all their songs mediocre
She' s an Al-o-phile
Lovin' a Weird Al Polka
Lovin' a Weird Al Polka
Lovin' a Weird Al Polka
Lovin' a Weird Al Polka
 
She'll make you take some  lessons,
on a squeeze box you will train
She'll make you practice countless types of chorus and refrain
You’ll soon hate Lady of Spain!
 
All the live long day
She's singin' a Weird Al Polka
She'll make your hair turn grey
Singin' a Weird Al Polka
She never goes outside
And her skin is like tapioca
She'll cause nerves to fray
Singin' a Weird Al Polka
Singin' a Weird Al Polka
Singin' a Weird Al Polka
Singin' a Weird Al Polka
 
Alone or in crowds
She's lovin' a Weird Al Polka
She'll crank the volume loud
Lovin' a Weird Al Polka
Her cravings must be fed
For this parody writing joker
She wears CD's out
Lovin' a Weird Al Polka
Lovin a Weird Al Polka
Lovin' a Weird Al Polka
Lovin' a Weird Al Polka
