Reverend Jax Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 I saw this on a web page a while ago, and since we all know original ideas suck, I will use this one. Let me explain the concept. "Mercedez Benz" is one of Janis Joplin's most memorable songs. Very short, extremely simple. I'm sure it was originally meant to be a fun little filler track, but it became one of her most beloved songs. The lyrics go as such: Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz?My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends. Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends, So Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz? Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a color TV? Dialing For Dollars is trying to find me. I wait for delivery each day until three, So Lord, won’t you buy me a color TV? Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a night on the town? I’m counting on you, Lord, please don’t let me down. Prove that you love me and buy the next round, Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a night on the town? Everybody! Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz? My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends, Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends, So Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz? That’s it! The idea is that it's such a simple song structure, you can just add verses you make up yourself. The site I went to just had hundreds of surfer posted additional lyrics. Remember, all four lines must rhyme and must begin with "Oh Lord, won’t you buy me..." and end with "So Lord (or 'Oh Lord"), won’t you buy me ." And try to keep it similiar meter. Here goes mine. Oh lord, won't you buy me, a new network card? The one I got's busted, damaged and marred, I've tried hard to fix it, I've tried real hard, So Lord, won’t you buy me a new network card? Lame, I kow, but that's the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
