You even did this one in one of my all time favorites. 
Okay. That makes me feel guilty enough to get it all to you. But is this what weāre waiting for?? I feel like I keep coming around here waiting for you to do somethingā¦ but you say itās on me, huh??
I have logs. All I need to do is tally and pass the info back. Iām gonna go start tallying.
You and your clever lyricsā¦
This song is something I listened to frequently the past several months, but with my lyrics in my head instead of the original lyrics.
Hopefully everyone understands what my meaning is here. But since context is everything, if you donāt know why, read through this thread first 
For the parents, and you will understand the spirit of what I am saying here.
This version fired me up in a way Randy Newman could have never imagined. As a matter of fact, this song was on my mp3 player for my test, lyrics in my headā¦
Short People
by Randy Newman Me!Diabetics got no reason
Diabetics got no reason
Diabetics got no reason
To runThey get messed up sugar
Whenever they run
They should sit and watch
Everyone else have funTheyād get way to tired
To do this test
Theyād never finish
Theyād would have to restWell, we donāt want no diabetics
Donāt want no diabetics
Donāt want no diabetics
In our test
The diabetic was much better
Than all you had
(A fool such as me)Donāt underestimate the toughness
Of any T1D
(Itās a wonderful world)
Diabetics got no stamina
Diabetics got no stamina
Diabetics got no stamina
To do this testThey got wimpy little legs
And they go so slow
If they run too much
Their sugar gets lowThey have CGMās
That go beep, beep, beep
They have to check 'em
Whenever they sleep, sleep, sleepThey got messed up fingers
From all the pokes
Thinkinā they can run, theyāre just a jokeWell, we donāt want no diabetics
Donāt want no diabetics
Donāt want no diabetics
In this test
I missed the original post back in March. It was hilarious! But useful, too, at the same time, for @Nickyghaleb! 
Same with this one, the diabetic take on Short People!! Hilarious and Inspiring at the same time!
Not sure anyone ever doesā¦ understand what youāre saying, but we like you, kid. 
Juuuuust kidding. Thatās great. 
To kick off the holiday season, I want to start with a special tribute to @T1Allison, who weathered not just one in-law filled Thanksgiving dinner, but two!!
Alli, I know youāve never heard this song (which is a shame), but you need to play the video as you read through the lyrics!
And keep in mind, the live version is even better! 
Congrats on your weekend! Hereās to you!
Iāve Got My $5 Wine To Keep Me Warm
by Frank Sinatra Me!The holiday eatinā
Guests finally leavināAnd I weathered the swarm
What do I care how much they may swarmGot my $5 wine to keep me warm
Canāt remember, a worse November
Watch those in-laws swarm
What do I care, in-laws swarmGot my $5 wine to keep me warm
Out with the decanter, out with the corkscrew
Who needs a corkscrew, itās twist-top crap!My heartās on fire, flame grows higher
I have weathered the swarmWhat do I care how much in-laws swarm
Got my $5 wine to keep me warm
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Heartās on fire
Fire gets higher
'Cuz I weathered the swarm!What do I care how much in-laws swarm
Iāve got my $5 wine
Iāve got my $5 wine
Iāve got my $5 wine to keep me warm
Thank you! I made it!!
How did you know??? I got out my awesome cork remover contraption just to realize that it was a screw top!
Thanks for posting Ericā¦ I havenāt thought of that song for a while. Itās the perfect accompaniment for the blizzard here in the heartland. My favorite version is by the Mills Brothersā¦ YouTube
@T1Allison I know exactly what brand (?) youāre drinking 
it gives me the worst headaches though because itās so sweet!! Hope you made it ok through the weekend !
I may regret my cheap taste tomorrow. I drank different cheap wine last night and Iām usually good for one night of poorly informed choices. Two nights in a row, not so much. Wish me luck!
Another song in the worksā¦
Very nice! Thatās a great version.
Itās funny how way back then, the same standards were done by so many people.
Dean Martin also has a version of the same song.
It is, isnāt it? Yesterday, my wife and I were listening to various versions of a Cy Coleman song written for Lucille Ball, āHey look me overā. Itās a classic tune which also has been sung by many, including Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney, etc.
To the person who was putting up Christmas lights today in the cold and sent me a txt message that triggered the Musical Touretteāsā¦are you doing that on purpose?!?
Cut it out! I got work to do!
I wish I had a āsong-lyric-message blockā app on my phoneā¦
Okay, back to work.
Puttinā Christmas Lights Outside
by Dean Martin Me!!I really canāt stay (puttinā Christmas lights outside)
Been doing this all day (puttinā Christmas lights outside)These lights are so cheap (on sale at the Dollar Tree)
But they look nice (my hands, now theyāre just like ice)The snow is now starting to flurry (thatās why Iām in a hurry)
But I have another 10 strings to go (the fuse-box is really gonna blow!)So Iād really better scurry (really really in a hurry)
But maybe just a half a drink more (gonna end up on the floor)The neighbors might think (man itās cold out here)
Girlie, your lights stink! (now I need another drink)I wish I knew how (I really donāt know)
To thaw out my hands (now theyāre stuck down my pants)I ought to say, no, no, more lights (shoulda skipped the Dollar Tree fights)
At least Iām gonna say that I tried (whatās the sense of hurtinā my pride?)I really canāt stay (gotta finish the lights)
Puttinā Christmas lights outside

Margaritaville Coronaville
by Jimmy Buffett Me!!Nibblinā on week-old bread
Hopinā I donāt end up dead
All of my fingers covered with PurellWatchinā CNN
On the TV screen
Seeinā our world all goinā to hellWastinā away again in this Coronaville
Searchinā for my last insulin vial
Some people claim that thereās a virus to blame
But I know itās not my faultDonāt know the reason
Weāll stay inside all season
Nothing to do but post on FUDBut Iāll just sit tight
And prepare for the real fight
When I gotta poo and thereās no TPWastinā away again in this Coronaville
Searchinā for my last insulin vial
Some people claim that thereās a virus to blame
But I know itās not my faultTired of the canned food
No longer tastes good
How Iād love to have a steakBut thereās booze in my bar
Donāt need to walk far
That drink will remove all the acheWastinā away again in this Coronaville
Searchinā for my last insulin vial
Some people claim that thereās a virus to blame
But I know itās not my fault
Yes and some people claim that thereās a virus to blame
I bet itās Allisonās fault!
Sorry Alli, just hadnāt done a song for you in a while. 
I 
it! One of your finest!!
I just heard that Bill Withers died this week. I was very sad to hear that. He was one of my all-time favorite Soul and R&B artists.
Some of his hits include āAināt No Sunshineā, āUse Meā, āLean on Meā, and āJust the Two of Usā.
My all time favorite song by Mr. Withers is āLovely Dayā.
At one point he held the record - at the time of the song release - for the longest-held note for a Billboard Hot 100 song.
Itās at the 3:06 mark of this YouTube link. The record he set at the time was 18.3 seconds.
He also held the note several times for 10 seconds, during the same song!
It is also remarkable that Mr. Withers sustained that note with chest voice, whereas others who have some of the longest note records used falsetto. And falsetto requires much less air. I am not certain of this, but I believe Mr. Withers still holds the record for the longest non-falsetto note.
One of the all time greats, Bill Withers.
