Of Music and Lyrics

Guess what?! I finally (acidentally) found a website that does secular to christian comparisons!!!!!!! Woo Hoo!!! Isn't that awesome??? I don't know about all genres but Curt and I looked over the top 40 and the punk/metal/hardcore sections and they seem to be quite accurate, although the latter category was somewhat outdated. Most of them give you more than one choice of christian music to compare it to, so you're bound to find something that's still out there. I bet you're just itchin to know the website, huh? Here's a link:http://youthfire.com/media/compare/. Curt was having me search a song tonight. It took me 45 minutes to track it down, but I finally found it. Its a miracle, too, because the only thing he could tell me was that it was a female singer, and it was a secular song that they sometimes play on our christian station. Wow. Not much to go by there! He didn't even know any of the lyrics. He thought it sounded like she was singing "I pooped, I pooped my bed" but he said he knew that couldn't be right. So the next logical thing he thought was that the words were "I said, that's what I said", and I was like, "Well, that's too broad for me. I can't possibly search based on that. I need a subject of the song or I need to know the genre or who she sounds like, or at the very LEAST what she looks like!" LOL!! So, we narrowed it down to the fact that she sounds like Fergie. Good, we're getting somewhere. Then, he said she reminded him of the IPod Nano commercial. So, we googled that commercial and found out that the person who sang that commercial was a lady named "Feist". I guess she's from Canada. Well, I checked her out and he decided to pick (at random) one of her songs called My Moon My Man. And that was the one he was looking for! If you go to Rhapsody or whatever and listen to that song, its at the very end just after the instrumental part. And the correct lyrics are "My Moon The moom my man" repeated over and over. Whats truly hilarious about it is that the words "I pooped, I pooped my bed" fit! So now Curt wants someone to do a parody of the song but have it be about someone from a nursing home! Curt thinks Greg (aka Johnny Johnson) would do a great job at it! (In order to get this joke, you really HAVE to listen to the song...)

What is truly amazing is that you found the song. And yes Johnny would be great for the parody.
