Jim's Meatball Song


wrote this for my husband, who was eating a meatball sandwich.

(A) I love meatballs, they are great
(D) You can put them on a plate
(E) Eat them with some sauce and cheese
(A) Fix me some, oh pretty please


(A) Little balls of ground up meat
(D) In a bun, they’re hard to beat
(E) Eat ‘em hot or eat ‘em cold
(A) Just don’t eat ‘em if there’s mold



a work in progress. 8) feel free to join right in.
Like me, the "g" is silent.

Meatballs - they are good for you
You can put them in a stew
You should taste them they are yummy
Just dont chew the wrong balls honey! :lol:

To wit:

Myofibriles? Myofibers?
Actin or act out
Oh! my sin.
Myosin.

Dead

Eat in or Eat out
Muscle Insertion? Muscle Origin?
"the kill, the grinder: Functional Fargo Woodchippers

before handing them 'round
to your hungry old man
they sizzle making the sound
of frying fat upon the pan

Meatballs
oh Meatballs
They're Meat in the shape of balls
Meatballs
Meatballs
Oh yeah
echos myron like a siren
with endurance like the liberty bell
and he tells you of the dreamers
but he's cracked up like the road
and he'd like to lift us up, but we're a very heavy load

Meatballs in the morning
meatballs in the night
meatballs where you got
a fork and a knife
or a spoon
if you like soup

Meatballs - cook them with great care
Wash your hands tie back your hair
To burn them - that would be just dire
Then they'd be GREAT BALLS OF FIRE!!!


Oh im laughing here.......... :lol:

He laid her in the kitchen, he laid her in the den
He was gonna lay her on the sofa, but I came walking in
He broke my heart, he made me cry that cold, cold S.O.B.
But fate was on my side that night - my friend gave him V.D.


Gilli, should it be Swung/Beanz or Beanz/Swung? :lol:

With onions, parsley, season and spice
They can be so very nice
Balls of meat bring so much pleasure
To Jim, they are an earthly treasure

Had a bit of a brainstorm.

<fast tribal bongo drummers play syncopated beats, backed by a funky bass and guitar like in Chic's Le Freak>

Meatballs.... <kind of like Cameo singing "Word Up">

(Meatballs....) <Mariah Carey, Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera and some tomorrow's diva on backing vocals. Gwen finishes with that sexual anguish vibrato thing, Mariah high-pitches with that cry, tomorrow's diva does some unspeakably embarrassing thing>

They come in small and in large (in small and in large... in small and in large) <Suzanne Vega with Annie Lennox & Susanna Hoffs... old school plain sexy & cute almost deadpan class>


Meatballs.... <Alice Cooper, Gene Simmons & Bob Dylan... badass edge. Dylan steals it. >

Yeah yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah <Kylie Minogue & Pink duelling all cat-like>


<more bass, melodic> pump-ummppph-a paughh-da-da-paaaouuughhhh doooodehhhh-la-daaoougghhh... etc>


Meatballs... <David Bowie, melancholically inquisitive hope-against-hope confusion with more than slightly resigned yet yearning cry>

(Meatballs....) <Kate Pierson & Elvis Costello backing vocals, in 'we're still here' sorta intonations>


They get hung up and low <Iggy Pop. Bitter, mostly haunted.

Wherever you go ohhh ohhhhhhhhh <Bono starts early, closes late. From same haunted and depressed Iggy place, only makes it extra spiritual>


<The Edge helicopter guitar, Roger McGuinn Rickenbacker chords over the top appear and then fade
-Sonic Youth sounding segue turning into Comfortably Numb soundscape with mindblowing Hendrix stratocaster, searing, kicking Gilmore's ass
-Angus, Thunderstuck. Builds up, breaks through to overdrive fever pitch Let There Be Rock pandemonium, then to a full power Hells Bells....>

<Bells toll for a while>


<sound of radio tuning.... Beatles sitar psychedelia.... sober echoes of Johnny Cash come through>

<Cash stops abruptly in mid-Get Rhythm, and says "What were they again?">


<funky bass kicks in again, continues in ever more funky funkiness>

Meatballs.... <Prince>

Meatballs.... <Lenny Kravitz>

Meatballs.... <Chrissie Hynde>

Hey hey... hey-heeeeyyy.... Meatballs.... < Sananda Maitreya (formerly Terence Trent D'Arby), & ongoing inspired variations from series of cool surprise guest vocalists.

Each 'Meatballs....' backed by '(Meatballs....)' <crammed combinations of featured backing vocalists throwing in random histrionic embellishments recalling We Are The World type charity events.

Meatballs....
Meatballs....

A song

Bamboo : "Je ne sais quoi" (just to teach you somet(h)un here, otherwise you seem to be pretty much in the know).

Doom and Gilli : Dirty, Dirty, guys...
But insanely gifted, by whatever kind of misfortune.
(Btw, I should go ditto to LostDog & Co., in the writers' corner. Should manage to check in there asap).

V
"French Me Fry"... :lol:

Are you calling me 'hun'?

That was just a cross-European pun way of saying 'I know what I'm talking about'...

"Je ne sais quoi" means that you don't, right?
