Rick...forgive me. I cannot control what the voices make me do.
<Truehistoryoftheregion><TCK>This song was written by Donny Dumphy...an aspiring Hip Hop artist in the up-and-coming Hip Hop scene in St. Johns, Newfoundland. It is decidedly the
worst Hip Hop song ever written (it is in reality a comedy bit- cracking wise on a certain kind of resident in Newfoundland). Be that as it may, it was heard and transformed by Jesse Stewart, and here is where we talk about what a hit song is. Jesse is one of those folks who lives at the fringes of society, so when he played his song is in his buddies backyard I would guess he figured he would get a few views.
He got MILLIONS.
So of course he monetized. Of course he logged onto his account in a stupor at someone else's house, and of course his password and proceeds were all stolen. So he posted it again...a month and a half ago, note the 3.4 million views. I reckon that means we have a hit on our hands ('course, to me a hit is 25 views and 2 comments). If you search youtube for covers of it, they are in the thousands, and by some pretty unlikely folks...lots of Ukulele covers for sure.
So- OF COURSE I had to do it. My version is slowed down because I cannot play that fast, and I wanted to capture the sentimentality of it, for Melissa because she cannot get enough of this song (sarcasm...which is hard to type) </TCK></Truehistoryoftheregion>
Cold Beer (Cry Tunes)- Based loosely on Jesse Stewart's version.
