I could write a blog. I have thoughts.

Life at the library, adventures with friends and other hysterics...

Talking to Myself - Parody #6

Talking to Myself
Written by Tracy T.
To the tune of “Dancing with Myself” by Billy Idol

Up and down the floors I go
Running in here is a no-no
A-with the CD selection
Then I see my reflection
And I'm talking to myself

A-when the usual crowd's in sight
A-in the crowded printer line
Well, I wait so long for good conversation
So I'm talking to myself

Oh oh, Talking to myself
Oh oh, a-talking to myself
Well, there's nothing to lose
And there's nothing to prove, well,
Talking a-to myself

If I looked all around the room
And I've got this sense of doom
But the librarian's eyes seem to pass me by
And leave me talking to myself

So I'll linger in the stacks
'Cause I don't like to turn my back
When I take a walk, I really like to talk,
And I'll be talking to myself

Oh oh, Talking a-to myself,
Oh, oh, talking to myself
When I take a walk, I really like to talk,
When I take a walk, I really like to talk,
When I take a walk, I really like to talk,
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh talkin' to myself.
Oh, oh, talking to myself, oh, oh,
Sweat, sweat, etc.



Dancing With Myself
Original Lyrics
By Billy Idol

On the floors of Tokyo
A-down in London town's a go go
A-with the record selection,
And the mirror's reflection,
I'm a dancin' with myself

A-when there's no one else in sight,
A-in crowded lonely night
Well, I wait so long for my love vibration
And I'm dancing with myself

Oh oh, Dancing with a-myself,
Oh, oh, dancing with myself
Well, there's nothing to lose
And there's nothing to prove, well,
Dancing a-with myself

If I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But your empty eyes seem to pass me by
And leave me dancin' with myself.

So let's sink another drink
Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancin' with myself

Oh oh, Dancing with a-myself,
Oh, oh, dancing with myself
Well, there's nothing to lose
And there's nothing to prove, well,
Dancing a-with myself

Well if I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But your empty eyes seem to pass me by
And leave me dancin' with myself.

So let's sink another drink
Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancin' with myself


Oh oh, Dancing a-with myself,
Oh, oh, dancing with myself
If I had the chance I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance I'd ask the world to dance
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh dancin' with myself.
Oh, oh, dancin' with myself, oh, oh,
Sweat, sweat, etc.

Do You Wanna Call the Guard - Parody #5

Do You Wanna Call the Guard
To the tune of “Do You Wanna Dance” by the Beach Boys
Written by CK and Sharon


Do you want to scream and call the guard?
Tell me patron is your life scarred?
Oh patron,
Do you want to call the guard?

Do you want to call under the fluorescent light?
Did somebody want to start a fight?
Oh patron,
Do you want to call the guard?

Do you, do you,
Do you want to call the guard?
Do you, do you,
Do you want to call the guard?
Do you, do you,
Do you want to call the guard?

Do you want to call under the fluorescent light?
Did somebody threaten to bite?
Oh patron,
Do you want to call the guard?

Do you want to call under the fluorescent light?
Did someone squeeze you way too tight?
Oh patron,
Do you want to call the guard?

Do you want to call the guard?
Do you, do you,
Do you want to call the guard?
Do you, do you,
Do you want to call the guard?
Do you, do you,
Do you want to call the guard?
Do you, do you,
Do you want to call the guard?
Do you, do you,
Do you want to call the guard?
Do you, do you,
Do you want to call the guard?
Do you, do you,
Do you want to call the guard?
Do you, do you,
Do you want to call the guard?
Do you, do you,
Do you want to call the guard?





Original Lyrics



Do you want to dance and hold my hand
Tell me baby I'm your lover man
Oh baby
do you want to dance?

Do you want to dance under the moonlight
Hold me baby all through the night
Oh baby
Do you want to dance?

Do you, do you, do you
Do you want to dance
Do you, do you, do you
Do you want to dance
Do you, do you, do you
Do you want to dance?

Do you want to dance under the moonlight
Kiss me baby all through the night
Oh baby
Do you want to dance?

Do you want to dance under the moonlight
Squeeze me, squeeze me baby all through the night
Oh baby
Do you want to dance?

Do you, do you, do you
Do you want to dance
Do you, do you, do you
Do you want to dance
Do you, do you, do you
Do you want to dance?
Do you, do you, do you
Do you want to dance
Do you, do you, do you
Do you want to dance
Do you, do you, do you
Do you want to dance

Do you, do you, do you
Do you want to dance
Do you, do you, do you
Do you want to dance
Do you, do you, do you
Do you want to dance

Sound of Silence - Parody #4

Sound of Silence
To the tune of “Sound of Silence” by Simon & Garfunkel
Written by CK


Hello bookdrop, my old friend.
I've come to collect you again.
Lurkers shifting softly scheming
Man in the corner loudly screaming
Says that visions were implanted in his brain
But we maintain
There must be sound of silence

As I roam I walk alone
Patrons ask me for headphones
In the lab they have set up camp
One yelling something about a leg cramp
When my eyes were burned by the flash of some pants too tight
That split on sight
I scream in sounds of silence

And all the naked girls I saw
Ten thousand of them, maybe more
People looking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People closing browsers as soon as I walk by
Like I’m a spy
And I scream on in silence

Fools, said I, you do not know
Inside there is no tobacco
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arm I’ll sic Pat Leach on you
But my words, on silent ears they fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people loudly played
Online games and serenade
No singing in the lab first warning
But they continue on performing
And a patron said, there are things smeared all over the bathroom walls
And in the stalls
And I scream in the sounds of silence




Original Lyrics

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

Fools, said I, you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence

Intoxication - Parody #3

Intoxication 
To the tune of "Infatuation" by Rod Stewart
Written by Tracy


Early in the day after I sleep
I don’t work and I don’t eat
I’ve been drunk all day, can concentrate
I’m about to make a big mistake
I’m not going to the park
This booze is gonna make me shart
Weavin’ around, how I behave
Passin’ out all over the place
Oh no not again
Did I just barf?
I don’t understand
Intoxication
Intoxication
Intoxication
Intoxication
My head beats silly like a big bass drum
Hangovers suck—gimme some rum
It’s so hard in the middle of the week
Maybe some liquor is all I need
Oh no not again
Did I just barf?
I don’t understand
Intoxication
Intoxication
Intoxication
Intoxication




Original Lyrics - Infatuation - Rod Stewart

Early in the morning I can't sleep
I can't work and I can't eat
I've been drunk all day, can't concentrate
Maybe I'm making a big mistake
Caught me down like a killer shark
It's like a railroad running right through my heart
Jekyll and Hyde the way I behave
Feel like I'm running on an empty gauge
Oh no not again
It hurts so good
I don't understand
Infatuation
Infatuation
Infatuation
Infatuation
Heart beats silly like a big bass drum
Losing all equilibrium
It's so hard in the middle of the week
Maybe this woman's just all I need
Oh no not again
It hurts so good
I don't understand
Infatuation
Infatuation
Infatuation…
