March 4 – The Coolest Flower

Today I wrote a rap song and made a flash video for it.  There once was a time where I made flash videos much more frequently, but I’m super excited to have done it again!  Woo!

I don’t know where the idea for this song came from.

Just a reminder that Caroline and I finish our part of Create or Die on Friday… but that doesn’t mean it’s over!  Stay tuned for more information about how YOU might be able to participate!

Lyrics:

Have you seen Phil, the daffodil?
The coolest flower on the whole damn hill.
Lounging in the shade beneath the willow tree,
And smoking on a bogey, he’s so cool to see!

(Phil, Phil the Daffodil)

He’s always got a bunch of lilacs on the ground
And the lillies ain’t far off, in fact, they’re all around.
You can’t keep those daisies away
But if the honey bees come near you’re gonna hear him say:

Hey, get out of here, bees.  Get out of here. (Phil, Phil the Daffodil)
(And they do!)

He don’t care about authority
Keeps his roots out of the ground cause he is feeling free
If he had to go to school, he’d be too cool to go
Ain’t too hip for soaking up the sunlight though.

(Mmm, Sunlight, that’s the stuff)

Once the ladies’ve all gone home and the hydrangeas’s in the hedge
Phil is down there chillin’ at the water’s edge.
When he sees his own reflection he is filled with bliss
‘Cause what you didn’t realize: he’s a narcissus!

Phil, Phil, the daffodil.
The coolest flower on the whole damn hill
He’s Phil, Phil, the daffodil,
The coolest flower on the whole damn hill.
