If you feel like a chicken without a coop

Brian and I often chat online while he’s at work and I am at home eating muffins.  He likes to check in on me to make sure I know just how much he loves me more than he loves designing planes (which is marginally, but I’ll take it).

Last week, he begins his daily chat with this:

B – Dude.  I’m a genius.  I have something for your blog.

Now, usually Brian rolls his eyes when I declare this is going on the blog! so, at hearing this, my interest was definitely piqued.

Me – What?

B- Check your email.

I checked my email, starting reading, and began laughing to the point of crying.

Me- Did you write this?!

B- Yes.  I’m so proud of myself right now.

He had written very special alternative lyrics to the song Happy by Pharrell Williams.  Before I get any more specific, allow me to back up and give some background.  Most of you know I enjoy a good poop joke.  Jamie Lee Curtis really doesn’t lie – when your colon feels good, you feel good.  It’s really that simple.

Now, my colon has a history of having a rough time (or not having one, as the case may be).  Yet another parallel between my cancer experience and this pregnancy is that constipation has been an ongoing challenge, and that’s putting it very delicately.  I’ve been working with my doctor and trying various remedies, and we may have found a regimen that doesn’t leave me feeling miserable every day.  On Mothers Day, of all days, I was given the best gift ever – an empty colon.  I was singing in the bathroom when I heard Brian sing back.

Me- Sing that again!  What was that?

B- …because happiness is a poop!

Me- You’re so right.  Sometimes happiness is a poop!

And unbeknownst to me, this idea grew in Brian’s head, and instead of designing planes, he rewrote the lyrics of Happy to describe a particular brand of happiness.

In B’s words, it is something for pregnant women to sing when they’re constipated.

He gets me so well.

So please, play the video whilst following along with the new lyrics.  We hope you find it as amusing as we did.

 

 

 

Crapping by Pharrell Williams and Brian

It might seem crazy what I’m about to say

Sunshine she’s here, you can take a break

I’m a hot air balloon that could go to space

With the air, like I don’t care baby by the way

[Chorus:]

Because I’m crapping

Crap along if you feel like a chicken without a coop

Because I’m crapping

Crap along if you feel like happiness is a poop

Because I’m crapping

Crap along if you know what happiness is to you

Because I’m crapping

Crap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do

[Verse 2:]

Here come the push trying to take a shat, yeah,

Well, I’ll give it all I got, and won’t hold it back, yeah,

Well, I should probably warn you it’ll take some time, yeah,

No offense to me, it smells just fine

Here’s why

[Chorus]

Hey, come on

[Bridge:]

(crapping)

Bring me down

Can’t nothing beat my brown

My level’s too high

Bring me down

Can’t nothing beat my brown

I said (let me tell you now)

Bring me down

Can’t nothing beat my brown

My level’s too high

Bring me down

Can’t nothing beat my brown

I said

[Chorus 2x]

Hey, come on

(crapping)

Beat my brown… can’t nothing…

Beat my brown… my level’s too high…

Beat my brown… can’t nothing…

Beat my brown, I said (let me tell you now)

[Chorus 2x]

Come on
