Original Songs

My husband is quite talented when it comes to writing new lyrics for "old" songs. And, I have a feeling other new parents take to this creative outlet when sleep deprivation settles in. I also know that his/our original songs have served us well and made us laugh - out loud - many, many times.

I've highlighted his talents here a few times:

• Dad at Work: New Lyrics
• Daddy Idol

Just yesterday, Chitown Momma threw down the original-song-writing guantlet ... well, that's not exactly true. But she asked if I know of an alternative to the super annoying Clean Up song that everyone sings.

And, I didn't, so a new original song was created ...

• Would you like a new Clean Up song to add to your daily routine repeteroire?
  Would you like to banish the Barney version from your head, ears, and home?
• You could be kicking off the weekend with a great new song stuck in your head!
• Your kids will think you are super fun and creative! What could be better?

Well, you're just one click away ... what are you waiting for?

An Original Clean Up Song, Just for You

Dad at Work: New Lyrics

Since NHV came into our world, hubby and I have been inspired to rewrite a few songs to better suit our parenting needs. By pure coincidence, it was exactly one year ago today that I posted about this same topic and the songs are hilarious. Click here if you'd like to read that post.

Well, tonight my funny husband did it again, and this time I was cracking up because the song is a total flashback and the lyrics are poop-related.

The Original:

I'VE GOT TO KEEP ON MOVING by Men At Work

Ain't nothing gonna break my stride
Nobody's gonna slow me down
Oh no, I've got to keep on moving
Ain't nothing gonna break my stride
I'm running and I won't touch ground
Oh no, I've got to keep on moving

Our Silly Version:
I'VE GOT TO CHANGE YOUR DIAPER by Dad At Work
Ain't nothing gonna break this stench

You're stinkin' up the whole damn house
Oh no, I've got to change your diaper
Ain't nothing gonna break this stench

Can't hold my breath any longer
Oh no, I've got to change your diaper

Alternate Version (aka the one I like better)

Oh girl, you really smell foul

You're stinkin' up the whole damn house

Oh no, I've got to change your diaper

Oh girl, you really smell foul

Can't hold my breath any longer

Oh no, I've got to change your diaper
