Simon loves music and pretty much sings all the time. My favorite part (besides hearing his funny voice) are his lyrics. Rarely does he sing songs the way they are written. He just steals the tune and makes up his own words. Two of my favorite changes are:
#1. (Sung to the tune of the last line of "I Love to See the Temple")
"I have to watch a movie. It is my sacred duty."
#2. (From "Ice Ice Baby")
"Donk Donk Donk I need rootbeer."
(Instead of Dun Dun Dun Da Da Dun Dun---which is just the beat and has no lyrics.)
I need to write down more lyrics as he sings them---especially the songs he sings to eliza. They are the best. The other day he made up a song about her stinky diaper to the tune of "Hall of the Mountain Kings" (is that what it is called all you classical music officianatos out there?) Oh how I wish I could remember the words! Or the song he made up telling me that he wasn't going to eat his lunch which he sang to the tune of Ode To Joy.
