Finally! I've found a way to give back to the Vigorli community!

Okay so a while back [livejournal.com profile] razzleslash wrote a parody of the song Lola by The Kinks, and in honor of [livejournal.com profile] matan4il's slightly belated birthday, I have recorded myself singing/playing guitar.

Brilliance, no?

Okay but there are some problems, like, I hadn't heard the song but a few times before I saw this, so alot of it sucks. Oh and saying 'mansexed my hand' was a little difficult for me without, you know, exploding with laughter and/or running to wash my hands.

Disclaimer: To anyone who finds this song, the music belongs to The Kinks, (I think, and if not them, then whoever wrote the song), the lyrics belong to [livejournal.com profile] razzleslash at least the parts that she made slashy, and I apologize for any of my mishaps.


From Lola, by the Kinks, obviously.

Kinky: Orli

I met him on a set down in New Zealand
Where you drink too much and it makes you feel really poorly
P-O-R-Lee Poorly.
He walked up to me with his hand out to shake
I asked him his name and with a smile on his face he said Orli
O-R-L-I Orli.
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Orli…

Well I’m not the most impulsive of lads,
But when he squeezed my hand I nearly creamed my pants for my Orli
Oh, O, O, O, Orli.
And I’m not dumb but I can’t understand,
Why he screams like a woman and fights like a man,
Oh my Orli, Oh, O, O, O, Orli, Oh, Oh, Oh, Orli…

Well for 40 days and 40 nights,
We fought under artificial lights,
Then Orli came and took me by the hand,
And asked me how I felt about doing a man.

Well I’m not the world’s most sex-driven guy
But when I looked in his eyes, well I knew I’d die for my Orli.
Oh, O, O, O, Orli, Oh, Oh, Oh, Orli
Orli, Oh, O, O, O, Orli, Oh, Oh, Oh, Orli

I fell off a cliff
I washed up on shore
We met at the door
He mansexed my hand

And that’s the day that I knew I was gay
And I always think that I’ll stay that way for my Orli
Oh, O, O, O, Orli,
Men will be elves and elves will be men
But I’m a king in my heart and I’ll fight to the end for my Orli
Oh, O, O, O, Orli, Oh, Oh, Oh, Orli…

Well I’d been divorced just a while before
And I’d only ever kissed a woman before
But Orli smiled and slapped me on the ass
And said, “there’s a lot we can do about that!”

Well I’m not the most inventive of lays
Bt I know what I am and I know I’m a gay and so’s Orli
Oh, O, O, O, Orli, Oh, Oh, Oh, Orli…
Orli, Oh, O, O, O, Orli, Oh, Oh, Oh, Orli…


I think you can download it here. But there are limited downloads! If it doesn't work, then please tell me another way of getting it to work. It's really funny!

ROTFLMAO!

I was eating strawberries, bananas and cream while listening to you sing. I swallowed a strawberry slice whole. This is brilliant! Thanks for sharing it with us.

WOW you have a great voice!! i'm kind of a music snob, and i was only expecting humor, and found such a good rendition!

i have a community with my friend [livejournal.com profile] tiniowien called [livejournal.com profile] viggorli_notes, and if the links are still up, you can download the first song i did... well, the only one so far. :P /shameless self-pimpage

do you write songs at all? even if you don't, man, i still think you've got a hell of a voice, and i don't go around just telling people that. :D

cheers,

Vo

*blushes madly* i play both... i've been playing piano a lot longer though, about 21 years. :D i'm not in choir, actually, i mean i only started singing in front of people like six or seven years ago.

Where can I download more of your stuff

oh man, there's nothing more yet. it's coming though... i'm working on an album, on my own label, and it's due out at christmas. :D if you want, i'll put you in the filter i've got where i put my music news, because i'll probably be putting links up later in the year, as i get stuff tracked out.

yay! <3 you are so kick ass, i'm so glad you put this link up! *friends you*

You have your own label?!

yeah, it's like a very grass-roots sort of thing. i mean basically it's JUST ME and it's just like... a name, basically. but that's how ani (difranco) did it with Righteous Babe Records, and dammit, we can too.

link to you? do you mean like in my journal? i'd be happy to, man. and i'm vogirl78 on YIM/AIM/ICQ etc. you can get it all from my info page (http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=vogirl78) - i think the only thing on there that doesn't work right now is the text messaging to my cell - and i'd definitely be interested in hearing more of your stuff! yay!
