I wrote this to honor one of my favoritest Muppets. It's to the tune of the old sea chantey, The Irish Rover.

Grover

Well, on Sesame Street you are likely to meet
A small fellow who's furry and blue.
He is gangly and sweet from his head to his feet
And he wants to be buddies with you.
He has got a pink nose and some rarely seen toes,
And he sounds a lot like Yoda.
He is not all that smart, but he has a good heart.
He's the monster that they call Grover.

All the customers hate when he works as a waiter
Because he's completely inept,
And they start getting rude when he brings the wrong food,
But he's charming through all his missteps.
Well, he has helped to make clear what is far and what's near,
And though he has quivered all over,
He's been there as we took a long look through his book,
At the end of which we found Grover.

Grover always is nice, and his words are precise.
You will not hear him say "can't" or "won't".
This trick makes him unique and appeases the geeks
Who love grammar and loathe those who don't.
He is one of those guys who persistently tries.
He perseveres over and over,
Never stopping to rest. I must say, I'm impressed
By this monster that they call Grover.

Now he flies through the air just to help children care
About people who live far away.
And before each trip ends, he has made some new friends
And has learned just how they work and play.
He has visited homes from the grandiose Rome
To Irish fields covered with clover,
And everyone gapes at his helmet and his cape.
They all love him because he's Grover.

Cute. Cute song.
Really, that was beautiful, and though I do not know the song that it is based on, I can tell that it works very nicely.
*wink* You know, I do not think I recall ever seeing you in this section before. Welcome!

Thanks. Yeah, I know that song! And I call myself Irish, sheesh...
Yes, you really should spend a lot of time here! You see, the problem is that to people like me and others, it can grow tiresome when there's nothing new. You should have a ball though!

Happy surfing,
Kate

Here's another parody, this one about Statler and Waldorf to the tune of Love Me Do:

Love to Boo

We love to boo.
Oh, it's nothing new.
It's just what we do,
Cuz we love to boo.
Oh, love to boo...

We love to boo.
Our chuckles are few.
We have a great view,
But we sit and stew.
We love to boo.

Muppets are dumb;
Muppets are fools.
Having to watch
This show is cruel!

We love to boo.
That bear has no clue.
The frog's stupid too,
And we ought to sue.
We love to boo.

We love to boo.
Oh, it's nothing new.
It's just what we do,
Cuz we love to boo.
Oh, love to boo.
We love to boo.
Oh, love to boo...

Wow, that first one's great, and that 2nd one is pretty good too. I have a parody of the song called Wild West Show called the Muppet show. I have it on the site below, check it out or I have it on the board somewhere. Unless you want me to post it on this one, which I'll do.
