There is no song titled “Jackin it up” on iTunes or Amazon MP3. Quick! This song is just waiting to become a top 40 hit.
The jackhammas are a-poundin’
I say
The jackhammas are a-poundin’
outside the Tribune Towerin’
I’m tryin’ to git some work done-in
But these jackhammas
these jackhammas
They keep a-poundin’
a-poundin’
A-prrrchh-a-prrrrch-a-pprrchhhprrccch-prrrccch.
Seriously. The Pioneer Court outside the Tribune Tower has some jacked-up tiles, all falling apart. So they’ve been replacing the tiles in sections. It’s only taken them two years so far.
We had peace and silence for a couple of months, and then today, the jackhammers came back and are now working on another part of the court. This will take them about three months. So I get jackhammers all day long for three months at work. Hence, I’m trying to spin this into a positive and get into the jackhammering by finding a song titled, “Jackin it up” on iTunes or Amazon mp3. But alas, there are none.
Do you know how many songs I’ve written? Well, not full fledged songs, just the lyrics (I don’t know how to write music). I just finished one called “I thought I knew you” about mistaking someone you see on the street for someone you know. I get lyrics going all the time in my head, the challenge is getting them written down before I forget them.
Tom, you need to blog your lyrics!
I blogged a song I wrote called “Perishible Package” once … but mainly because it was about food. Most of my songs have nothing to do with food and wouldn’t … necessarily … “work” on my culinary blog.
Comments from facebook: ChKo: Gee, you’re half way there with your own effort, go for it I say!! MeKo: I agree. lol. Also, kinda understand. We have apartments being built next to my workplace. No jackhammers, but incessant noise from trucks, and the “beep beep beep” from all the reversing they do, and then there’s the drone of various radio stations playing. Thank goodness I only work a few day shifts per month, so can put up with it in small doses 🙂 March 18 at 10:25am Spudart: Right now it is quiet. No jackhammers outside. And all the sales people are not in the office. Not that our sales people are like jackhammers. hahaha. ChKo: Huh, what…pardon? I can’t hear for all the noise from the work I’m doing….
