Song lyrics: Cartoons
Quirky song lyrics are the best. Here's one of my favorites, about what various cartoon characters would say if they got religion.
Cartoons
by Chris Rice
I was thinkin' the other day
What if cartoons got saved
They'd start singin' praise
In a whole new way...
Well, I was thinkin' the other day,
What if cartoons got saved?
They'd start singin' praise
In a whole new way...
Fred and Wilma Flintstone
Sing "Yabba-dabba-loo-yah"
Scooby-doo and Shaggy:
"Scooby-dooby-loo-yah"
And the Jetsons' dog named Astro:
"Row-ruh-roo-rah"
I was thinkin' the other day
What if cartoons got saved
They'd start singin' praise
In a whole new way...
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:
"Cowabunga-loo-yah, Dude!"
Then there's, "Kermit the Frog here, singing,
Hi-ho-loo-yah"
And that little bald guy, Elmer Fudd:
"How-ah-woo-yah"
I was thinkin' the other day
What if cartoons got saved
They'd start singin' praise
In a whole new way
Oh that big old moose and his friend Rocky,
"Bullwink-a-loo-yah"
And our favourite bear named Yogi,
"Hi, Boo-boo-ba-loo-yah"
Then there's all those little blue guys
And they'd sing, "Hah-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lay-loo-yah"
How about Beavis and that other guy?
(*&#$^*%!)
Now, there's a point to this looney tune
I'm not an Anamaniac
But there's a lot of praisin' to do
And cartoons weren't made for that
It's our job
So, let's sing hallelujah
Hallelujah
Yabba-dabba-loo-yah
Scooby-dooby-loo-yah
Row-ruh-roo-rah
(This song is a hidden track at the end of Chris Rice's CD Past the Edges. But I prefer the live version, which is on his Snapshots: Live and Fan Favorites CD. For a better effect than just reading the lyrics here, I recommend listening to the sample on the Snapshots link...Chris Rice does great cartoon impersonations!)

I LOVE Chris Rice. Saw him in concert last year, and he's even better than on his CDs.
Yep, I saw him at the state fair a couple summers ago, with MWS. The funniest was when he was joking about himself and Smitty, how they each have that one song that they can't get away from, that people DEMAND they play at any and every concert. Of course, Cartoons was his song. Give ya three guesses what Smitty's was :)
I love MWS too! He was here in concert, but it was the week of exams last summer so I couldnt take the kids. Have you heard of 'delirious'? (I dont know if thats spelled correctly) They are great.
Have a happy Thursday!
