Feed Me - SatWE - takeoff on "It Ain't Me Babe"

“Feed Me”

Get up off the sofa
Get up from that recline
My food bowl is full of empty
And it’s my dinner time.

You say I am your true loved one
I’m never weak and always strong
I protect you and defend you
To me you’re never wrong
But now I need a filled up bowl back on the floor

So feed me!
Woo Woo Woo I’m so hungry!
Am I not your loving doggy!
So woo woo woo woo feed me!

"It Ain't Me, Babe"

[Bob Dylan cover] Johnny Cash version

Go away from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed
I'm not the one you want, babe
I'm not the one you need
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who's never weak but always strong
To protect you and defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door

[CHORUS:]
But it ain't me babe
No, no, no, it ain't me babe

I think I'm on the borderline getting this in on time.

I had already posted my column so I couldn't list it, but I'll try to make it up to you by featuring your submission. I love that song and have heard six or eight covers of it.

Thank you for mastering the SatWE challenge. That was an absolutely wonderful take on the challenge.

They play that song as bumper music sometimes on the Coast to Coast AM radio show. I got so tired of it that I started making up different lyrics. I just picked & developed the ones I liked the best.

It would have been fun if "feed me" had been about that plant in Little Shop of Horrors

Then I'd have to pick a different song--Probably something by Korn or Godsmack.

Thank God Dylan's not dead,
or he'd be spinning in his grave!

That makes even funnier.

A grandson walked home with such embarassment from kindergarten a few years ago. His crazy grandfather came to the class and sang some songs for his classmates. All the kids thought he was a crazy old man. I'm sure the teacher loved Bob Dylan for doing that for her class.

Now I think Dylan could use this for another kindergarten class, and they'd like him. lol

I have taken some songs apart in similar fashion:
for instance my friend Ed reported that his enjoyment
of Gordon Lightfoot's concert was somewhat lessened
by the row of overweight Taco-eating ladies in front:

but be warned this post included the subject of flatulence!

Well, thank you. I like this song and it certainly beats the song that's been playing in my mind for a week after I did something on Gather similar to this. lol
