This is a special edition of Lyrical Miracles.
Rule #1: Choose a well known, secular tune. (this could be a nursery rhyme, musical number, easy listening, classic rock, etc. - just make sure it is a song everyone is familiar with)Rule #2: Write the lyrics based on Calvinistic Cartoons (try to include several aspects of this blog - like songs, cartoons, specific characters, contests, etc.)
Rule #3: Think of this as a TV or radio advertisement. I intend on using the winner's lyrics as part of a promotional ad for Calvinistic Cartoons. I will print hundreds up and drop them off at Dallas Theological Seminary and Criswell College here in Dallas, Texas.
To the tune “My Favorite Things” from The Sound of Music:
ReplyDeleteTuxedo ice penguins with open theists
John Calvin sippy cup, oh, how it pleases
Emergent leaders on jet airplane wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Little known quotes from those spirtual giants
Romans 9 hand grenade that's rather violent
Lyrical miracles, how strange to sing
These are a few of my favorite things
Baklava Koos Koos with all his strange dreams
Old Cotton Adams and Bagpipes McGee
Finney plays Battleship wearing his bling
These are few of my favorite things
Health, wealth preachers
New age teachers
When they give me gloom
I simply remember my favorite things
from Calvinist Cartoons!
(This song was a team effort by me and Pilgrim Mommy, my mother.)
This is to the tune "Surfin' USA"
ReplyDelete(Disclaimer: I'm not a Beach Boys fan. The tune just seemed to fit.)
There's a very funny web site
It'll give you a laugh
If you like Calvinistic humor
You'll be sure to come back
Spurgeon will serve you up some ice cream
See B.B. Warfield's gun
Poke fun at some emergents
At Calvinist cartoons
Read quotes from wives of theologians
Get Calvin's lunch box, too
See some Catholics a'roamin'
That JMac rapper dude
Have some Baklava and Koos Koos
And I'm not talking food
He's a real cool prophet
At Calvinist cartoons
We'll play that game Emergent Scrabble
Or Calvinopoly
Have a bowl of milk and Minced Oaths
And read some T&G
Swig some Soda Scriptura
With your lunch at noon
Get your daily dose of humor
At Calvinist cartoons
Come on and enter a contest
A caption, song, or two
Although there's lots of fun and humor
It's thought provoking, too
Hey, there's other folks who like this
And I'm not immune
Everybody is readin'
Calvinist cartoons
These are more than I had hoped for! Both of you should be professional songwriters! ...or start a blog devoted to new songs!
ReplyDeleteThanksabillion. I will create a Photoshopped posting for both of these! Soon! Before May 10th!
