FAWM: "Ol College Buddy"

Ol College Buddy

Skirmish: Fun with a random word li... (@robinleaf)

Liner Notes

Memory is a strange thing. Or maybe we make.it what we want. This song is more true than I'd like to admit.

Tried to get as many words in as I could from the @robinleaf #skirmish

Lyrics

Was a living legend back in college
All the women would flock my way
other people out there reading books
I chased the thrill of the always party

nicknames I had a few
Sit back and I'll share e’m with you

They called me peel to open
And Lord kick butt
The glitter gentleman
And a buncha other stuff

sexy Steve
And the breakdance boy
The Dance-matron
monikers I enjoyed

If you stopped by my college dorm
The party's were the best in town
Thriving on vodka and rye
up all night breaking it down

nicknames I like to boast
These are a few i like the most

They called me Dapper dan
The great pilot dawg
The Flight Fright Fighter
Some too gross for a song

Laramie
The bodacious bladder
Twelve toe tony
Why doesn't matter

But here's the thing
I went to tech school
And wasn't interesting
Artists nurses
And guys who weld
My social climb
Didn't go that well

They’d sing hey there buddy
Hows your double double chin
I'd forget to study
And fail everything

They called me four eyes blind
The mythical chungus
The butt music master
Some other insulting stuff

I love how the "chorus" changes every time with more and more nicknames. That's a cool device. I also like how the song progresses through a full story.

OMG haha "bodacious bladder"... This took an unexpected turn! The melody is really catchy and you definitely pull the rug when the song changes from a post to a confession! Nice skirmish!
