Okay, so it's no secret that I'm a bit of a dork. ;) So every time I hear Taylor Swift's "Shake it Off" I sing the words a little differently. I'm not going to sing for you all because I don't want you to run off screaming. Instead, I'm going to share my version of the song, which I call "Write the Book." Enjoy!
"Write the Book"
I write way
too much, got stories in my brain
That's what
people say mmm, that's what people say mm
m
I release too
many books, but I can't make 'em sell
At least
that's what people say mmm, that's what people say mmm
But I keep
writing, can't stop, won't stop typing
It's like I
got this story in my mind saying it's gonna be alright
'Cause the
readers gonna read, read, read, read, read
And the
bloggers gonna
blog, blog, blog, blog, blog
Baby, I'm
just gonna write, write, write, write, write
write the
book, write the book
Reviewers
gonna rate, rate, rate, rate, rate
And the
haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm
just gonna write, write, write, write, write
write the
book, write the book
I never miss
a word, I'm lightning on the keys
And that's
what they don't see mmm, that's what they don't see mmm
I'm writing
on my own (writing on my own), make the words up as I go (words up as I go)
And that's
what they don't know mmm, that's what they don't know mmm
But I keep
writing, can't stop, won't stop typing
It's like I
got this story in my mind saying it's gonna be alright
'Cause the
readers gonna read, read, read, read, read
And the
bloggers gonna
blog, blog, blog, blog, blog
Baby, I'm
just gonna write, write, write, write, write
write the
book, write the book
Reviewers
gonna rate, rate, rate, rate, rate
And the
haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm
just gonna write, write, write, write, write
write the
book, write the book
write the
book, write the book
I, I write
the book, write the book
I, I, write
the book, write the book
I, I write
the book, write the book
Hey, hey,
hey, just think while you've been getting down and out about the pirates and
dirty, dirty cheats in the biz you could have been getting down to this sick
book
My ex-fan brought
his new book friend
She's like
"oh my God," but I'm just gonna write it
And to the M.C.
over there with the hella good hair
Won't you
come on over, baby, we can write, write, write
'Cause the
readers gonna read, read, read, read, read
And the
bloggers gonna blog, blog, blog, blog, blog
Baby, I'm
just gonna write, write, write, write, write
write the
book, write the book
Reviewers gonna
rate, rate, rate, rate, rate
And the haters
gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm
just gonna write, write, write, write, write
write the
book, write the book
write the book, write the book
I, I write the book, write the book
I, I write the book, write the book
I, I write the book, write the book
write the book, write the book
I, I write the book, write the book
I’ve got to
I, I write the book, write the book
I, I write the book, write the book
And for anyone who doesn't know Taylor's song, here's the video:
I dare you all to sing along but with my version. ;)
((HUGS)) This is so very cool!!! Publishing it, right? You must, I say. Ooh... you could even have someone (with a voice) sing it and post it on You Tube. Picture you....
ReplyDeleteIt's funny because one day I was driving and the song came on and I started singing what I wrote above. It just came to me, so I went home and jotted it down. My brain is weird like that. I wish I could sing, but alas, I'm not very good. Okay, I'm pretty bad. ;)
DeleteCreative reworking, Kelly!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteYour take on the Swift song reminded me of something Woody Allen said to an admirer who told him he always wanted to write a play. "Write the play," Woody said.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty cool. :)
DeleteWow Kelly, I love this! :D
ReplyDeleteVery clever! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Diane.
DeleteLol, this is fantastic, Kelly! Love it! It's what I'll be singing next it comes on too. =)
ReplyDeleteYay! Join me in my insanity. ;)
DeleteHa ha, so funny! I suppose you're going to be a song writer in your next life? Well you'll surely make more money at that than writing books, huh?
ReplyDeletelol Maybe!
Deletehahahaha LOVE..and now this is the only way I will sing this song from now on!
ReplyDelete;) That was my evil plan, Beth.
DeleteYes, we all would be singing this soon!
ReplyDeleteYes, keep writing and typing, Kelly. I think you release many books and they do sell!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Claudine. :)
