Okay, guys. I know this is really gonna hurt your brains.

But..............

Give me some ideas for songs Bob-O! and I could do that DO NOT have anyting to do with Harry Potter.

Preferably nothing based totally on any specific novel, movie, book, game...........let's just say nothing based soley on 1 specific topic that was created by another person. Is that too vague?

Don't give me a plot line, just a really general idea.

Any I like -- and can come up with something for -- I will post here for Bob-O! to review, and maybe yours will end up as part of the Pensive catalog!

Well you wrote a song about Bob-O... I guess now he needs to write one about YOU! Smile

You two need to write a song about Bush like I suggested before! I hope that isn't too political for you.

Something similar to the melody of a certain Greenday song...

"Wake me up, when this damn term ends!"

I know you guys like writing your own stuff, but it would be great to hear you do parodies.

If you run out of ideas, there is always a market for songs about flatulence!

I agree whole-heartedly! I had actually thought of that before -- just didn't want to be all "Hey, Bob-O! Why don't you write me a song?"

I'm gonna pass on this one. I like to stay away from politics, and anything that will "date" the song.

Not to give too much away, we're working on a song right now that has the following lyric in it:

"Left of left, and right of right."

That's as political as I get -- I stay out of that arena altogether. To acknowledge the politicalness of our leadership is to be limited by it.

The moment I write something about Bush, is the moment I give up my right to remain above and unlimited by those who would be all-controlling, greed-driven, power-hungry slave masters.

My country is controlled by politics. I am not.

Elections mean nothing. They change nothing but the name on the oval office door.

An office I have no interest in, or care about. They can have their cake, I'm eating cheeseburgers.

Now, that's all I'm EVER gonna say about politics -- I won't push my views on you, as I hope you won't on me.

I'm only here to have fun!

I'm sorry if that sounded too angry, or preachy. Know that it was all said with a smile on my face!

Laughing I want a cheeseburger too!
That should be a line in the song as well...

I couldn't help but laugh at your reply about forcing my views on you!!! Smile I am about as liberal as they come... We are all entitled to our opinion... some are just more vocal than others!

I'm sure the song will be great though!

You have no idea how true that is. I've written my share in "my office."

Jeff I've a question though- are you looking for purely comical song ideas or more serious ones? And what sort of variety are you looking to encompass? Are you wanting to stick to pretty much the same sort of stuff Pensive has put out already or are you wanting to break away a bit? Not suggesting you SHOULD break away, but I'm just trying to get an idea of what kind of thing you're looking for other than just "non-Rowling" topics.

Personally I wrote an ode to my parking space a week ago in epic poem style. You can litterally write a song about anything you want. I think writing songs about everyday things is pretty cool. Like a song about the crazy old lady next door with a dozen cats that Bob wants to stir-fry with teriyaki sauce. Or a song about the hot chick at the supermarket. Weave a little amusing story into it. That's sort of what I like about your songs and Bob's. They make me smile... even when I'm sick. Smile

Actually here's a song I wrote while sitting there a few months back:

Defecational Life

As I sit here and wait
(cold porcelain beneath me),
the shadows of days past
play across my mind;
a reminiscent blanket
of memories
cradling me in warmth

orchestral strings amongst the symphony of life
I realize I have heard naught but overture.

Energy and excitement build
as I anticipate the first act,
wonder about the second,
and guess about the third.

The metaphorical parallels of my situation
are not lost to me:

We eat of life,
keeping only the richest
and most nourishing
of experiences
and memories with us,
while flushing away
all of the meaningless refuse.

So it will be a country song then? Wink

Right now I think Jeff is still thinking about those children you two are going to have. He's probably thinking up lovely melodies as we speak. Being on the crapper (still) is reminding him of how sick his one true love Leslie is! Don't you feel special???

Actually, most of the stuff I write is serious. It's rare for me to write the silly stuff, though I always send those to Bob-O! He tends to like the lighter stuff, and that's what we've done first. It wouldn't be Pensive without us both, and you can hear both our minds in the stuff we do.

Anyone who is intersted in something darker that I wrote can search for "Jeffrey Michael Rozak" on www.poetry.com for a song I wrote called "Vampire."

Or, as an alternative, visit my Myspace page and add me as a friend. Most of my blog are songs I've posted to get some feedback while they're in the works.

Very Happy

Very very cool Jeff! You have officially inspired me to start a poetry thread here too! YAY! I will add you to myspace if you promise you won't bite my head off. It's not very big anyway so you wouldn't get much of a meal out of it. But I just want to be sure.

Anyhoo...

I wrote a poem for Poetry.com before too- now they won't stop pestering me to buy all kinds of stupid things from them. Damn spam-artists!

Thank you.

Actually, I got "Vampire" published because of them. I was getting the same old poetry contest E-Mails 7 & 8 times a day from Poetry.com, and it was annoying the crap out of me too.

After a few months of that, and knowing that I was sittling on a back log of songs that had nothing going on with them, I caved and sent Vampire in -- hoping that would shut them up for a while.

Long story short ("Too late!") i didn't win the contest. Some of the judges for the contest liked it though, and contacted me asking if my song was copyrighted, and if so could they put it into their publication.

So, I got the copyright, and let them publish it.

Not a real big deal, but it's cool for me. Cool

Actually that is very cool. Congratulations! I'd like to publish something someday just for the hell of saying I did. I tend to write for my own pleasure and occasionally to humor my friends. That's about it.

Incidentally I'm sorry for saying I wanted your babies. Not that I don't, but I'm quite sick right now, and I'm only slipping in and out of lucidity. Unfortunately I can't leave work for another hour so I am chained to the computer desk which is far too much temptation when my wits start a-wandering again. So if I don't log on again for the next ten years it's only because I embarassed myself too horribly today to ever return. Nothing personal.

*goes to read the vampire poem*

Jeffy, unfortunately I can't answer your poll.

Answering it would contradict my plans for world domination.

Unless, of course, I allow you to do all the hard work and then stage a coup and take over as Dictator-for-life.

*rubs hands together*
BRU-HA-HA-HA!

Voting in the poll didn't conflict with my plans for world domination. I was named after a Babylonian Queen, so if anyone is taking over the world it will be me! Better watch out, we're still pissed we lost our Empire!

Jeff, for someone who isn't very political, you do realize you did set up a VERY political race??? Isn't that the essence of every election... All the candidates are really the same!!!

Laughing

A suggestion...

When your sis gets home for the summer, you should get her to join in the fun... Talk her into doing one of the songs with you.

Actually, since she's been home now for a while, the thought HAD crossed my mind too. I called her this afternoon to get her upcoming plans (she's leaving again in about a week, but coming back mid-July for the rest of the summer) because the song I'm working on might sond good with a few female harmonies. However I didn't tell her WHY I wanted to know -- nobody knows about the song, so keep it on the D.L. It's gonna remain a closely guarded secret until it's released -- even my wife doesn't know more than that I'm working on a song, and that it's a ssssecret for now.

Yeah, that was awesome! lol I fixed that problem -- hopefully. I changed my password too, in the hopes that I hadn't been hacked.

Since you've been sorted...

If your wife sings too, you could write a song for her...

"So I married a Slytherin" Smile

Write up all of your Slytherin traits you think might annoy her (in a loving kind of annoy of course Smile )
She might actually have fun with that! Smile

You have no idea how close to the truth you are. We've been fighting (via phone & E-Mail) almost all morning.

However, trying to persuade her to sing is a lost cause. I've learned over the last decade that she will not sing if anyone else can hear her. At all. Ever. Case closed. She won't do it.

That's why we had to get Megan for that line in 'Eye to Eye.' Tara wouldn't do it.

Sheesh... if it took my husband 10 years to figure something out I'd be pissed too! Wink

You could have Megan sing that too!!! I think your wife might actually like that!!!

Did you see Knocked Up?
I'm picturing that scene with Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann right now! Smile

"I know we are supposed to be nice to each other, but I am finding that very difficult right now because I want to rip your f%$#!ng head off!
...So I'm the bad guy because I want to protect our children from mercury and child molestors and you are the cool one because you don't give a shit?"

"YEAH!"

I got an idea for you guys... I think it would be pretty cool...

We need a Pensive version of 12 Days of Christmas...

"On the first day of Christmas, Bob-O gave to me..."
