KARAOKE SINGING AND SONG PARODIES

As John Cleese would say...

"And now for something completely different"

I am not sure if I have shared this with you before, but I really enjoy singing karaoke and even run a show of my own on a Saturday night. Being a host one has to be able to sing whatever people want to hear from heavy and rock, to country and ballads, and be available for help with most duets...Even MEAT LOAF (all 8 minutes).

Some of the stuff I really love singing are silly songs, parades.

I have written about five parodies, two of which I do regularly at various shows, normally straight after somebody has song the correct version.

My version of Kerri Underwoods "HE CHEATS" called "NEXT TIME SHE EATS" and Garth Brooks "FRIENDS IN LOW PLACES" called "I'VE GOT A RASH IN LOW PLACES" seem to go down well.

(Check the songs at http://4tenderheart.com/karasong.html)

Any way... on the way into work today, I got a flash of inspiration which churned into an idea and tonight became reality.

My blog tonight shares my brand new parodies of "HERO" by Enrique Igliasais... "PLEASE GIVE ME A HERO"

PLEASE GIVE ME A HERO

YOU CAN COOK, WHAT YOU WANT TO COOK
YOU CAN FRY, WHAT YOU WANT TO FRY
I DON’T CARE, WHAT YOU COOK TONIGHT
A SUB WILL DO JUST FINE

I DON’T WANT, NO GREASY BURGER N’ BUN
I DON’T WANT, NO CHICKEN TO.
ALL I WANT, IS THE THING I LOVE
A LARGE HERO HERE TONIGHT

I JUST WANT A HERO BABY
FILLED WITH HAM ‘N TURKEY TO
LETTUCE, TOMATO MAKES IT BETTER
BUT PLEASE JUST HOLD THE MAYONNAISE

NICE WHITE BREAD, NOT TO OLD AND STALE
WITH MEAT AND A SLICE OF CHEESE
AM I ASKING TO MUCH, IF YOU DON’T MIND
I WANT HERO HERE TONIGHT

I JUST WANT A HERO BABY
FILLED WITH HAM ‘N TURKEY TO
LETTUCE TOMATO MAKES IT BETTER
PLEASE JUST HOLD THE MAYONNAISE

OH I’M FEELING SO HUNGRY
I’M FEELING SO VERY HUNGRY
OH YES
AM I ASKING TO MUCH, IF YOU DON’T MIND
I WANT HERO HERE TONIGHT

I JUST WANT A HERO BABY
FILLED WITH HAM ‘N TURKEY TO
LETTUCE TOMATO MAKES IT BETTER
BUT PLEASE JUST HOLD THE MAYONNAISE

I JUST WANT A HERO BABY
HEAPED WITH HAM ‘N TURKEY TO
LETTUCE TOMATO MAKES IT BETTER
PLEASE JUST HOLD THE MAYONNAISE
I DON’T WANT NO MAYONNAISE

I JUST WANT A HERO



Well I hope you enjoyed the parodies, I'll be singing it at my show this Saturday
