Hungry Eyes

On occasion, I have rewritten a song or two, changing the lyrics to suit this blog...like this one and also this one . Sometimes photos just trigger song lyrics or vice versa....

First, the song on YouTube by Eric Carmen...it's VERY 80's! Now that you've got the tune stuck in your mind......

Wilson's and Jimmy's rendition:

We've  been meaning to tell you
We've got this feelin' that won't subside
We look at you and we realize
Your food is ours tonight
Now we've got your plate in our sights

With these hungry eyes
One look at your food and we can't disguise
We've got hungry eyes
We feel the magic of your pizza pies

We wanna a bite so hand it over
We wanna show you what this drool's all about
Don't bother with a shout
Now we've got your plate in our sights

With these hungry eyes
One look at your food and we can't disguise
We've got hungry eyes
We feel the magic of your french fries

Now we've got your plate in our sights
With these hungry eyes
Now did we take you by surprise
We need you to see
That sharing your food was just meant to be

We got Hungry Eyes

Bungle in the Jungle....to Dinner is a Winner!

As you've probably noticed by now, in posts like this one or maybe this one, photos can make me think of the lyrics from popular songs. Well, sometimes, it works the other way around as well. I'll hear a song on the radio on my drive to work and think how I could illustrate the lyrics with some photos.

In this case, I am going to do a little paraphrasing of these lyrics ....

 (to the tune of Jethro Tull's "Bungle in the Jungle".....If you don't know the song, go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJhAyg2LTEk ....I'll wait.)

Ok.....



                                         Just say the word and the boys will be right there,
                                            With drool on the floor and spit in the night air,
                                                   Is it surprising that they come running....,
                                                 A meal that requires none of their cunning!
                                         They'd say if they could.....We thank you for DINNER!
                                             This game that we Cardigans play is a WINNER!



                                           Dinner in the Kitchen...well, that's alright by us.
                                                   We're obedient when we want food
                                                     But not so much when we're done!



                                         Yes, the Kings in their kitchen, lie waiting for more
                                        Maybe just a tidbit to score....As dinner is cooking...
                                             The Cardis seem willing to wait this one out
                                           Chances are good food will soon fall to the floor!

                                           Dinner in the Kitchen...well, that's alright by us.
                                                   We're obedient when we want food
                                                    But not so much when we're done!
