Hit by an inspiration particle; blame it, not me. Apologies to DreamWorks, though, and to the Barenaked Ladies ( Read more... )

I'm impressed. You're demented.
And I really really like Bare Naked Ladies.

Thank you, and, um, thank you! :)

"One Week" has been on my mind since I tried to sing it, karaoke-style, at my birthday party. That made me think, "Hmmmm--I should try to learn those lyrics." Guess I'll have to check out some more of their songs now, too. Hmmmm again.

Not sure how Shrek got mixed up into it, though.

Do I have your permission to express my undying love for you?

Sing that thing for me (on key), and I'll follow you to the ends of the earth and back.

Why am I so impressed, you may ask?

1) Well, theres the geek factor. I love all things geeky.

2) There's also the skill factor - you can work with rhyme and a very tightly proscribed meter and still sound cool.

3) I love Shreck - it's way high on my list of all time favorite movies - probably only one or two behind RotK.

4) I love the Barenaked Ladies. Very Much.

5) add to that the previously discussed Terry Pratchet factor, even to the point of having at least one of our top three favorite discworld characters in common (Vimes, I mean)

*sigh*

What's a girl to do?

*still feeling crush-y*

Oh my!

Your devotion is unexpected, deeply flattering, and accepted. :) (Is this how rock stars feel all the time?)

I guess now I need to try recording myself singing it. I do have good pitch, though my voice isn't very highly trained. I did try to sing it for Suzy and her hubby, and I got through it--barely. It's mainly a matter of running out of breath!

And when is someone gonna get around to inventing a teleporter? Grrrrumph!

You'd best print those out. You will be singing that to the tune of One Week next time I bring KR over. Muah.
