"My Boat's In The Ocean".

Natali and I had some extra time on our hands this afternoon and we were video-chatting, discussing Honor Society and their upcoming CD. My biggest worry, I told her, is that since the Jonas Brothers are co-writing and co-producing, the whole thing is going to be Jonafied. Honor Society is mature, and it shows in their lyrics - "See U in the Dark" is about nakedness, and "This Bed Is An Ocean" is basically about frolicking in bed. For the most part.

And the Jonas Brothers ... well ... they're the Jonas Brothers. They wear purity rings and sing about girls in outer space. And going to the year 3000. For goodness' sake, one of their songs says "kiss the past" when it's SO clearly meant to say "kiss my ass".

So that got us started on this whole I-wonder-what-Jonafied-Honor-Society-lyrics-would-sound-like deal, and we decided to start messing around with the lyrics of "This Bed Is An Ocean" and see if we could steer the idea as far away from sex as possible. And I must say, what we came up with could be a number one hit.

Here is our version of the song:

Afternoon, in a hungry mood,
Just took a refreshing jog.
Need to eat
A few calories,
Just a tiny bit of food .

Cuz I don't wanna be so hungry anymore.
Got my tackle box and
I’m not very far away from shore.
So I think I will go fishing.

I am boarding this here
Tiny boat.
Need an oar and maybe
A GPS,
And of course you by my side.

I want you to fish with me.
I want you to fish with me.
I want you to fish with me.
Cuz my boat’s in the ocean.

Evening comes,
I have caught some fish.
Just enough for me to eat.
The fishies in my tummy
Do not satisfy
I'm still hungry, it's killing me.

Cuz I think I can catch some more for me and you.
I go back in the water, but there
Looks like there's a shark in plain view.
And no longer am I hungry.

Sharkey swims up closer,
It’s over.
Cuz he takes a big bite out of
The boat’s side and
Now it’s sinking.

I want you to rescue me.
I want you to rescue me.
I want you to rescue me.
My boat’s under the ocean.

This was a bad idea.
On the horizon the sun dips down.
I really don’t want to drown
But I’m alone in the ocean.

I'm treading water.
I never thought it could be this cold.
I see nothing around me.
I can't believe I somehow managed to float.

Eventually I was picked
up by the
Coast Guard and I
Almost passed out
Cuz I was so scared.

I permanently wear arm floaties
And I never eat fish anymore.
The beach is out of the question
Cuz I really hate the ocean.

And here is the original song:



And the original lyrics:

Late at night I can't fall asleep
My body's twisting in the sheets
You're the girl I want
I see you in my dreams
I can't wait 'til I fall asleep

Cuz I don't wanna be without you anymore
You're sending mixed signals
I didn't think I was far from shore
Now I'm caught up in the moment

I'm thrown overboard
I'm drowning
Lost without a lifeline
It's high tide
And I am sinking

I want you to rescue me
I want you to rescue me
I want you to rescue me
Cuz this bed is an ocean

Morning comes creaping like a theif
Stealing all my dreams from me
The lady in my life
She's just a fantasy
I'm so lonely it's killing me

Cuz I don't wanna be without you anymore
You're sending mixed signals
I didn't think I was far from shore
Now I'm caught up in the moment

I'm thrown overboard
I'm drowning
Lost without a lifeline
It's high tide
And I am sinking

I want you to rescue me
I want you to rescue me
I want you to rescue me
Cuz this bed is an ocean

I want you to rescue me
I want you to rescue me
I want you to rescue me
Cuz this bed is an ocean

I'm treading water
I never thought it would get this deep
I see you above me
I can't believe it was you who pushed me over

I'm thrown overboard
I'm drowning
Lost without a lifeline
It's high tide
And I am sinking

I want you to rescue me
I want you to rescue me
I want you to rescue me
Cuz this bed is an ocean

It was fun, and I have to give ourselves a 10 for creativity. Not everyone can turn a song about sexual things into a song about fishing. AND the new version is also sung to the same music and everything. If I could get through singing it without laughing, I'd record it and put it on YouTube. But I usually lose it halfway through.

Anyways, enjoy. :]
