Lyrics:

Curse you autocorrect!
That’s not what I mean!
Eww!
You did what?
Dear god no! 

I went to Biltmore and won a case of women last night.
You pervert!
I wrote wine.

Hahahaha
Hahahaha
LOL LOL LOLOLOL
Curse you autocorrect!

Hey man what’s up?
I rented a movie and pooped popcorn.
Eww!

That’s not what I mean!
Eww!
You did what?
Dear god no! 

How is our pregnant little girl?
Mom how did you know?
I meant perfect, wait you what?

Hahahaha
Hahahaha
LOL LOL LOLOLOL
Curse you autocorrect!

How was the doctor?
I have a dinosaur infection.
Dinosaur infection?
Double Sinus Infection.

That’s not what I mean!
Eww!
You did what?
Dear god no!
Curse you autocorrect!

Curse You Autocorrect!

Lyrics:

My best friend 
moved to Ohio
I was very sad when
I had to say goodbye-o

What was I to do 
To show my love?
But then I was led
As if from above.

So I went to my favorite
Meme Generator
Meme Meme Meme Meme Meme Meme Meme Meme Meme
And I knew just exactly
What to make her

A digital card
Of a Llama in a yard
And it said 

This Llama is here to tell you how much I love you!

Lla lla lla lla lla lla lla lla llama!
Lla lla lla lla lla llama! 
Llama! Llama! Llama! 

This Llama

The first in my series of Modern Madrigals. Performed by the Montreat College Choir under the direction of Timothy Wilds.

Lyrics:

My man is my Batman
My woman is Catwoman

Na na na na na na na na na na na na Batman!

We went to the movie
And we were feeling groovy.
Would it be the best one?
Or maybe just the last one.

The pale moonlight / Na na na

Watching this dark fable
Made us feel unstable
We got very cozy
Cheeks were getting rosy
As the Dark Knight Rose!

Deshi deshi basara basara / Pale Moonlight / Na na na

Nolan is my God now!
It was awesome and how!
It should sweep the Oscars!
Win ten gabillion Oscars!

Oscar / Deshi / Pale Moonlight / Na na na

Late that night
Wild and free
My lover whispered to me

When Gotham is ashes, you have my permission to die.

My Man Is My Batman
