The Obsessive Neurotic Gardener

  • About me
Posted on April 18, 2011 by jmarkowski Posted in Comedy, Spring .

Listen, if Grey’s Anatomy or House can do a god awful musical episode, then why can’t I do a musical post? I may lose what little credibility I already had, but what the hell. We’ll give it a whirl and leave caution to the wind.

For today’s purposes, we’ll keep it short and try to gauge interest before we put together a full scale production and bust our already limited budget. Some of the lyrics have been altered but I’ve secured these rights from each of the artists. Diana Ross played hardball but eventually she came around.

Enjoy.

“On the 27th day of spring, my true love gave to me, a robin in a plum tree.”
“Ohhhhhh, we’re half way there, whoa hoa, living on a prayer.” 
“Anticipation, anticipation is making me late.” 
“I’m coming out, I want the world to know, Got to let it show.” 
“You light up my life, you give me hope, to carry on.”

    Great idea to set your plant post to music. Your native robin looks like our UK blackbird from the back and our robin from the front!
