She Amazed Me redux
This is a follow-up to my previous blog entry regarding the nonsensical song "She Amazed Me" from the Dilbert Blog.
This song was put together from random lyrics submitted by people from around the world. Okay, someone painstakingly went through the 600+ comments and pulled out what they felt were the best lyrics, and I can only assume that they were attempting to provide some sort of cohesiveness to the lyrics, but still..."She Amazed Me" has got to be the first OPEN SOURCE song in history. What does that say about songwriters? I mean, someone still had to put music to it, and that takes talent, but the actual words ...come on...you can stream crap together, put a catchy beat to it, and belt out a hit. This song isn't a hit (yet?), but would it be if it had been recorded by someone famous? I think it might be.
It's been a couple of weeks, and I am still getting a huge chuckle out of it.

Like Bette Midler could make it a ballad.
Lenny Kravitz could funk it up.
Aly and AJ could make it bubble gum pop.
Tony Bennett could do a big band version. Wait, is he still alive? If not, find someone else who was big in the '40s and '50s who IS still alive.
What do you think? I bet this could be HUGE!
I can hear Fred Schneider right now singing, "My heart heard a dream/
like ten thousand MIT-TENNNNNS! (trails off like Lock Robster...)
Not THAT is gold, baby.
