I just watched a movie featuring the song "Killing Me Softely". Now this song is lodged in my head and won't go away!

I was wondering if anyone here wanted to try their hand at rewriting it with chinchilla lyrics. :) I thought it might be a nice challenge. Also, with chinchilla lyrics, it wouldn't be as annoying.

You can find the orignial lyrics online. Have at it! :dance3:

I dunno about Killing Me Softly, but I've been known to reword songs to relate to chins. My favorite one so far is Doll Parts by Hole. "I want to be the chin with the most hay.." LOL!
 
There's a country song called "Hillbilly Deluxe" that I sing as "Chinchilla Deluxe". (I think I got the idea from my chins' Oxbow feed.)
 
I sing songs with reworded lyrics for all of my pets, particularly my cat. She hates it, which only encourages me to do it more.
 
OK...you're forcing me to reveal my secret pleasure -- I, too, sing songs to my chinnies with different words. Here's my latest and most favorite:

(To the tune of My Favorite Things)

I wrote a song about my two chinchillas,
Soft, silv'ry whiskers and fur soft as pillows.
They are the cutest things you've ever seen,
That's why they are my most favorite thing.

When my job sucks, and I'm so tired,
when I'm feeling sad,
I simply remember their whiskers and fur
and then I don't feel so bad!!!

*Takes a bow* ;)

Nope. :thumbsup:

"YouBe my Sunshine, my little Sunshine.
You make me hap-EEE because you're gray.
You'll never know DEAR how much I wuv you,
YouBe my chinny-chin-chin that's gray."

The other two get "their" songs (Crash into Me and Champagne Supernova) and whatever else pops into my head.

Oh say can you see...by the dawns early light...what the chinnies have done...to their newly cleaned cage.... They have dumped their food bowl....and peed on their hay....where's their house, it has moved...Chinny has things her waaay!

Song 2
She was black as the night
Louie was beige, oh what a sight
Danger, danger when you kiss a black velvet
Louie fell in love over night
Hey man, what's wrong with that?
Nothing bad, it was good
Louie had the best girl he could
When she took him home to meet her mama and papa
Louie knew just where he stood

Louie Louie Louie, Louie Louie Louie
Louie Louie Louie, Louie you're gonna cry

All right, what's all this about?
I love him, dad
Oh yeah, baby, let me tell you
I don't want no beige in my herd, you dig?
No beige in my herd

See what I mean
Louie really caused a scene
He did, I tell you
Ain't no diff'rence 'tween black velvet or beige
You know what I mean

Louie Louie Louie, Louie Louie Louie
Louie Louie Louie, Louie you're gonna cry

There he stood in the night
Knowing what's wrong from what's right
He took her home to his mama and papa
Louie had a terrible fight

What's goin' on?
Well, Dad we're in love
Now listen son, let me tell you
I don't want no black velvet in my herd
Get it, no black velvet in my herd

See what I mean
Louie really caused a scene
He did, I tell you
Ain't no diff'rence 'tween beige or black velvet
You know what I mean

Louie Louie Louie ....

Song #3
*rap*
OMG
Laurie, look at her loofa
Its soo big
I can't believe it's so round

I like big loofas and I can not lie
You other sisters can't deny
That when a chin walks in with an itty bitty treat
And a round loofa in her mouth
You get sprung

I'm tired of magazines
Saying flat loofas are the thing
Take the average chin gal and ask her that

Well shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake that healthy loofa
Baby got loofa

WOO HOO!!!

Those are FABULOUS!!!

My coworkers think I'm just a little crazy (that's OK, because I AM), but we have a locked door to the back office in my department. We have to change the code from time to time for security reasons, so as soon as the code is set, I make a rhyme that includes something about chinnies.

For example, the current code is 151 -- Chinnies on the run!!! Before that, 658 -- chinnie fur feels great!!! I've got one for every number!!!

OMG! All of the songs are great so far, but this one made me LOL for real and now my coworkers are worried about me. :hilarious:
 
OK, here's Chin Parts:

I am big eyes
Big ears, long tail
I am chin arms, big teeth, whiskers
Yeah, they really want chews, they really want chews, they really do
Yeah, they really want chews, they really want chews, but I do too
I want to be the chin with the most hay
I love treats so much, it just turns to waste
I eat wood, I eat my cubed hay
So come on, give me lots wood n hay
Come on, give me lots of wood n hay

I am chin parts
Fluff butt, big heart
You'll pick up poo, all night
For the rest of my life
Yeah, they really want chews, they really love to poo, they really do
Yeah, they really want chews, they really love to poo, but I do, too
I want to be the chin with the most hay
Bowie loves wood sticks because he loves to see them break
I love wood, I love my cubed hay
So come on, give me lots wood n hay
Come on, give me lots of wood n hay
 
Time to bump the thread for more new songs
I did this one for Erin last week (with help)
*I know I'm not a 'lil kit
I know I'll never win
But if you will adopt me
I'll be your lovin' chin*
