Little Diddy



A friend just emailed this little song to me, and Octo said, "We should put that on the blog."

Bravo! Excellent.

Jordan said...

But wouldn't that be "ditty"?

Ditty (n) a short simple song.

AC said...

love it. i checked out some of his other songs on youtube; they are also clever and funny, but one may not want to play clips in front of the kiddies or in public areas at work.

ARGH! My IT guy has blocked youtube. I'll have to wait and see it at home.

I can't watch it till later also. And now that god-awful Mellancamp song is in my head...

"Little ditty, 'bout Jack and Diane"

JPX said...

That's exactly what happened to me! I've had that damn Mellancamp song stuck in my head all day long!!!

"Oh yeaaaaaaah, life goes on..."

Jordan said...

It's not such a bad song. It's got a monster guitar riff. It's just that the lyrics are just a little too self-conscious and precious.

Still stuck in my head!

little diddy, about Jack and Diane
2 American kids growin up, in the heartland.
Jacky gonna be a football star
Diane's debutante backseat of Jacky's car

Suckin' on chili dogs outside the tasty freeze.
Diane sittin' on Jacky's lap, got his hands between her knees
Jacky say, "Hey Diane, let's run off 'hind a shady tree,
Dribble off those Bobby Brooks slacks, let me do what I please.

say uh, oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin is gone
Say uh, oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin is gone. They walk on.

Jacky sits back, collects his thoughts for the moment.
Scratches his head and does his best James Dean.
Well then there Diane, we oughtta run off to the city.
Diane says "Baby, you ain't missin' a thing"
Jacky say uh,
[Jack And Diane lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]


Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin is gone
Oh yeah they say life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin is gone


Gonna let it rock, let it roll
Let the bible belt, come and save my soul.
Holdin on to 16 as long as you can
Changes come around real soon, make us women and men.

Oh yeah, life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin is gone
Oh yeah, they say life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin is gone

Little diddy, about Jack and Diane
Two American kids doin' best they can.
