Small Town (John Mellencamp Cover) LeeshaHarvey 2007-09-20 | I spent last weekend in my hometown. I saw people I haven't seen in years, and yet it felt like no time had gone by at all. This song is dedicated to my friends from my hometown. I added the harmonica, harmony, and small guitar riff tracks. My kids added the "Hey!".
Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promise (Avett Brothers Cover) LeeshaHarvey 2011-08-24 | Decide what to be, and go be it.
Leesha Harvey- Long Way Down (Original) LeeshaHarvey 2011-06-19 | This song is available on the album Church Lofts and Basement Corners. Lyrics:I never thought I'd be here nowI never thought I'd drink this cupThey said the book would show us how But the book was not enoughIt took just one taste to shut me upI cast the first stone, then I got knocked in the headAnd now I'm choking down all the words I once saidIt's such a long way down, it's such a long way downI wonder when did I becomeAll the things I once despisedAnother lashing of the tongueAnother opening of the eyesIt took just one step to change my mind(Chorus)The higher the horse, the greater the fallIf there's poison on your lips, best say nothing, best say nothing at allAnother proud and lucky one who dares to think that it should lastCause it's a long way but the fall is so fastI saw the line drawn and now I know (Chorus)(c) 2010 Leesha Harvey
Make You Feel My Love (Adele/Bob Dylan Cover) LeeshaHarvey 2011-03-30 | The winds of change are blowing wild and free...
You Wouldnt Have to Ask (Bad Books Acoustic Cover) LeeshaHarvey 2011-02-28 | A short little ditty by Bad Books.
Only the Young (Brandon Flowers Acoustic Cover) LeeshaHarvey 2010-12-13 | I'm really enjoying Brandon Flowers' solo album "Flamingo." You should check it out.
New Morning (Alpha Rev Cover) LeeshaHarvey 2010-09-17 | Excessive reverb: Because sometimes a girl likes to imagine she's singing in a concert hall and not just her bedroom. I've heard this song on the radio several times, and it always catches my attention, so I thought I'd give it a try. Silly me, I didn't put the computer on a stable surface, hence the shaky camera. But I wanted you to see my chording hand, in case someone wanted to learn the chords. (Capo 1- combination of E, C#m, B, and A2... but I don't barre over the top two strings for the C#m or B... not sure what the exact names of the chords would be... C#m7 and Bsus4, maybe?)
Youve Got a Friend (Cover) LeeshaHarvey 2010-07-05 | A song for my good friends who I miss very much.
Leesha Harvey- Pretty (Original) LeeshaHarvey 2010-05-24 | Pretty Pretty the pictures on your skin Pretty the person you have been to me Pretty the scars upon your head Pretty the lovely words you said to me How did, how did, how did you get to be so pretty? (2x) Ponder the possibilities Longings that drive me to my knees again Your words drip from your lips like wine Healing the deepest wounds of mine again If I, if I, if I could only be so pretty (2x) And you take me in your arms, as you fall asleep Im captured by the charms of what I could be Cause you loved me when nobody else would You loved me when nobody else would You loved me when nobody else would And I know you make me better than I am Better than I am You loved me when nobody else would You loved me when nobody else would You loved me when nobody else would And I know you make me better than I am How did, how did, how did you go and make me pretty? (3x) (c) 2010 Leesha Harvey
Begin Again (Colbie Caillat Cover) LeeshaHarvey 2010-03-06 | A few students at the school where I work found my YouTube videos and requested a Colbie Caillat song. So here you go. :-)
Leesha Harvey- Anonymous Rockstars (Original) LeeshaHarvey 2009-12-31 | Pardon the cheesy video effects. It's not easy achieving symbolic cinematography in iMovie. :-) Anonymous Rockstars Go on and knock the wind right out of me Drop the anchor, tie down all the sails Who can say its ever really meant to be I guess the dream belongs to someone else (yeah) Play it loud and grab someones attention Play it soft and make the people cry Be my friend for just 15 more minutes Another round of love before I die (yeah) Everybody wants to be a rockstar Everybody wants to have a name in shiny lights Everybody wants to be a rockstar Sing your song, take a bow, say goodnight Fame is rather fickle company And fashion is a beast upon your back Who wants who you are; heres what you ought to be Once youve gone then theres no coming back (still) Chorus Youll have to take a number And join me at the tail end of the line Well sing all our songs to each other Anonymous until the end of time (yeah) (c) 2009 Leesha Harvey
Leesha Harvey Borderline (Original) LeeshaHarvey 2009-10-25 | Another one-take wonder, complete with lyric mess-ups. But my half hour of free time is up, so this will have to do. :-) Sorry I haven't been putting up many videos lately... life, you know? Borderline Youre such a tortured soul You like to wear it out Display a pained expression and expect the rest of us to guess what its all about Got a lock on your brain And a drink in your hands Console yourself with thinking that no one in the world Could ever really understand Youre such a mystery to me, my love, my love Got your feet in the clouds And your head on the ground Conspiracies and accusations are the fuel that make your little world go round Got your finger on the pulse Taking tips from the news You dont care what happened you just want to get to cite whatever source you choose Why cant you take me at my word, my love, my love Chorus: Figuring it out, trying to see whats true Why you have to doubt how much I love you? (But) Everything I say is nothing that you hear Throwing all my words into a deaf ear But I will find a way to get to you, my love Broken shells on the floor Better watch where I walk Sometimes I feel, well, never mind I guess you didnt really want to hear me talk Nothing seen, nothing heard All our sins on my hands I would make up a confession if I thought that it would somehow help you understand You keep tearing me apart my love, my love (c) 2009 Leesha Harvey
21 Guns - Acoustic Cover (or Green Day, Interrupted) LeeshaHarvey 2009-08-30 | I thought I'd record a quick cover song while I'm working on some new originals. But it's hard to find enough uninterrupted time... what can I say, though... my kids are cute. :-)
Nobody Knows Me At All (The Weepies Cover) LeeshaHarvey 2009-06-14 | A fun little ditty by The Weepies.
Leave the Biker (Fountains of Wayne Cover) LeeshaHarvey 2009-05-30 | Matt the drummer takes center stage! (Matt changed the words a bit for the little ears in the crowd. The song was a big hit, as you can tell.)
Leesha Harvey No Longer (Original) LeeshaHarvey 2009-05-17 | No Longer They say she was beautiful once, the talk of the town But that's all changed, of course, and so they dont talk much about her now Her only child has long since grown Its been years since he's made it home Sorting through what's left of all the years that she gave She once remarked it felt like her they were putting down in that grave All her friends tend to keep away Guess they ran out of things to say (now that) Chorus: He no longer sleeps next to her He no longer sleeps next to her Worked her fingers to the bone just to eat some bread And the oil overflowed for a little while just like the prophet said Dropped her last penny into the box The hypocrites just stood and watched (now that) Chorus And she was strong when they thought she'd be falling apart And she's learning how to survive with a hole in her heart And she's not afraid to make a brand new start and take her own place in this world Chorus (c) 2009 Leesha Harvey
Use Somebody (Kings of Leon Cover) LeeshaHarvey 2009-04-29 | I've had quite a few requests for this song, so here it is! The piano footage is shaky because I put the video camera on my desk, and I didn't realize that the whole desk wobbles when I play. I'm such an intense pianist, I guess.
Its Not Your Fault (Mark Heard/Ashley Cleveland Cover) LeeshaHarvey 2009-04-19 | Another cover song from a coffee shop gig. The lyrics to this song are really great, and since it's a bit of an "oldie," I'll post the lyrics here. It's Not Your Fault I get lonely sometimes It's not your fault I'm a [woman] who follows [her] own tracks until [she's] lost I'll keep on going round and round until I'm found I get wounded sometimes It's not your fault I keep on shooting arrows up until they fall They stall and turn, a narrow miss until I learn It's not you, I'll be okay, I'm just a jerk is all It's alright, it's just my foolishness It's not your fault I get helpless sometimes It's not your fault I just tend to tug on heartstrings til they break A thug who wins a kiss and misses finer things I get angry sometimes It's not your fault I let the molehill simmer like Vesuvius And hole up in Pompeii until all hell breaks loose It's not you, I'll be okay, I'm just a jerk is all It's alright, it's just my foolishness It's not your fault Written by Mark Heard © 1991

What Can I Do (Bailout Version!) LeeshaHarvey 2009-03-24 | I decided my song needed another verse, at least for now. :-) You can hear the original song (and read all the original lyrics) here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NFpeBzSjao Here are the lyrics to the "Bailout Verse" I board my private jet and fly in to D.C. To beg my bailout check from the finance committee And you know that it's never enough But my stocks are going under and we just can't let that be Cause how can I afford to live my life of luxury? (c) 2009 Leesha Harvey
Kiss Me (Sixpence None the Richer Cover) LeeshaHarvey 2009-03-18 | Footage from a recent coffee shop gig. My friend Matt is playing drums. I like to have the audience sing along... it's fun. :-)
Leesha Harvey- The Glory and the Fall (Original) LeeshaHarvey 2009-03-14 | New song from a live show at Silver Creek Coffee in Grand Island, NE. I'll be putting up more footage from the show in the next few days! The Glory and the Fall Label me the skeptic Are you so surprised? All these years of sight unseen have left me with some aching eyes My hands are stained and shaky From wars within and without When You came to claim my soul why did You leave behind the doubt? Will I ever change at all as I live this life between the glory and the fall I could keep on asking or I could bide my time live with the uncertainty and take all of these mysteries blind Forgive my indiscretion Please don't turn away As I give voice to my darkest thoughts and say the things the others will not say But do You even hear at all as I live this life between the glory and the fall Can you hear the crashing sound of all the arguments falling to the ground Is the space just too far for me to ever know just what I am and who You are? Ever broken, ever small As I live this life between the glory and the fall Ever broken, ever small Trying to live this life between the glory and the fall (c) 2009 Leesha Harvey
This Too Shall Be Made Right (Derek Webb Cover) LeeshaHarvey 2009-01-01 | Happy 2009! But even if it's not happy... well, hang in there anyway. :-) Thanks for another great year, YouTube friends.
What Child Is This? -Leesha Harvey LeeshaHarvey 2008-12-21 | Here's wishing a wonderful Christmas to all my YouTube friends and subscribers!
Cleaning Gets Old (Katy Perry Hot N Cold Parody) LeeshaHarvey 2008-11-30 | The story of my day-to-day life. I recorded and mixed the music in Garageband and edited the video in iMovie. My kids get all the credit for the mess. :-) Lyrics: You know that's not where we put dirty clothes Why do you make a mess everywhere that you go? I spent several hours, made this room look like new Now it looks like a hurricane went through Chorus: Oh cleaning gets old The mess has to go I scrub high and low But you never would know Don't know why I try to clean this pigsty I wake, I pick up They break, they mess up Do they put their things away? No! Do they hear a word I say? No! Oh cleaning gets old The mess has to go I scrub high and low but you never would know My house used to be Organized and quite clean Then kids came along Well, you know what I mean They're my pride and my joy Couldn't love them more But I wish that I could find my floor Chorus Someone call the cleaner Need a shop vac and a carpet steamer You better call Hazmat It smells like something died. Chorus

Leesha Harvey- What Can I Do (Original) LeeshaHarvey 2008-08-31 | About a month ago I received an e-mail forward from a friend... it was meant to be humorous, but I didn't think it was very funny. The e-mail implied that anyone who is poor or has need of some sort of governmental assistance ended up that way simply because they are lazy and irresponsible. I know firsthand that is simply not true. I wrote this song fairly soon after receiving this e-mail, as a response to this unfortunate stereotype. I thought I'd do a rather light-hearted video to go along with it. Enjoy. Sounds best with headphones! :) And I apologize if it's out of synch... it was lined up perfectly before I uploaded it. What Can I Do They talk entitlements or safety nets and bottom floors All I know is what I make doesn't buy half the things that it did before And no, I'm not asking for much But the doctor's talking surgery and insurance just won't pay The banker keeps on calling, wants to take my house away What can I do now What can I do now What can I do now That it's all gone They're forming bread lines in this nation of wealth But you won't spare your pocket change to help feed someone else And no, you don't owe me a thing But you're burning up my wallet as you're drilling up the sky While I'm scraping bottom looks like someone's riding high Chorus You can call me crazy But please don't call me lazy 'til you put my shoes on and you walk about A sweaty brow and calloused hands Are no guarantee That you won't ever do without Chorus © 2008 Leesha Harvey
Leesha Harvey Dont Hold It Against Me (Live) LeeshaHarvey 2008-08-12 | More footage from my CD Release show.
Leesha Harvey San Diego Morning (Live) LeeshaHarvey 2008-07-31 | Footage from my July 18 CD Release Show. Kudos to Mark on the bass and Matt on the drums.
Viva la Vida Coldplay Cover (Long live the looper pedal!) LeeshaHarvey 2008-07-23 | I keep hearing this song on the radio and then it gets stuck in my head all day. Here's my version using my Digitech Jamman looper pedal and my Alesis keyboard. It's certainly not perfect, but it was fun!
Leesha Harvey Now and Again (40 Feet) LeeshaHarvey 2008-07-02 | Now and Again (40 Feet) It's 40 feet from the top to the bottom Of this hole that I find myself in You used to visit, used to look down when convenient, Do you know how long it's been? But I don't need your condescension Or your petty sympathy I just need for you to hold the rope You once threw down to me Could you send to me a simple word, a passing glance Just to know that you think of me Now and again I'm just an apparition sitting in the corner All alone, I've been left here for dead You catch a glimpse and then I get a little hopeful But you walk on by instead I don't need your rapt attention Or your undivided love I just need to know that once in a while I'm the one you're thinking of Chorus I know what you're thinking, but don't you think it Cause I won't ask that, I won't ask that of you I just want to know if everything my heart is saying is somehow getting through (yeah) Am I getting through? Chorus © 2008 Leesha Harvey
Leesha Harvey- Coal Train (Original) LeeshaHarvey 2008-04-19 | I live near one of the busiest stretches of railroad in the U.S., so I spend a fair amount of time in my car waiting at railroad crossings. I was on my way home late one night, waiting for another train to pass, when I got the idea for this song. It's pretty folksy. Hope you like it. Coal Train Coal train rolls by into the sky It rattles the night Rain on the street, jazz in the air Keeping time with the light Black car passes by, catches her eye It's gone like a ghost Of all the eyes she's looked into She misses his the most The wheels roll on One glance and it's gone He dreamed of a ship, got his wings clipped Went down to the tracks He wanders the road Looking to lose the load on his back He can go for miles with Miles and Coltrane's saxophone The melody soothes like her voice and he knows he's not alone Chorus She wonders how much he's changed Has he let his hair grow? And does he recall all the things She wants him to know? She marks the days with flowers But she hides them away Somehow she doubts it's enough To convince him to stay Chorus © 2008 Leesha Harvey http://leeshaharvey.com
Re: Native English Speaker Challenge (“Pegao A Ti” by Jesús Adrián Romero) LeeshaHarvey 2008-04-05 | Watch DardisMusic's challenge for a full explanation... and if you are a native English speaker, I encourage you to give it a try! :) This is my attempt to sing in Spanish. The song is "Pegao A Ti" by Jesús Adrián Romero. The Spanish-speakers in my community are from all over Central and South America, and I have friends from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Colombia, and Chile. Their dialect, accent, and vocabulary differs considerably, so I have no idea whose version of Spanish has influenced me the most! I considered trying to sing in German but quickly gave up that idea! I know too many German speakers here on YouTube.
Rain (Patty Griffin Cover) LeeshaHarvey 2008-03-28 | The song only took me two tries. The talking at the beginning, however... :) I used a different tuning than Patty does--when I tried her tuning, my guitar sounded really twangy. So I had to leave out the cool guitar riff she does. I really love her music, and I always feel incredibly inadequate when I try to sing her songs. Hope you like it anyway!
Leesha Harvey Penny in the Pocket (Original/Live) LeeshaHarvey 2008-03-10 | Footage from my March 1 gig at the Blue Moon Coffee Co. There was a great turnout--standing room only! Penny in the Pocket Ginger goes round on her merry-go-round She drags her hand in the dirt to try and slow it down Comes to a stop, she jumps to the side And curses the kids who were pushing the ride She plays it safe, she's counted the odds One too many risks might anger the gods She tiptoes lightly, out of the way To secure a safe arrival to her dying day Hey Chorus: Penny in the pocket Run until we fall They say we don't have enough But we know we've got it all No worries for tomorrow There's enough for today We're just rag-tag lovers And we wouldn't have it any other way Billy aspires to build empires with quarterly returns to buy what he desires A sure-fire way to get what he lacks He builds his wealth on someone else's back His nest is safe and his house is full Too bad he didn't take more stock in his soul He pinched and planned, scrounged and saved For some well-lined pockets to pad his grave Hey Chorus The prince withholds, the pauper gives The good man dies, the despot lives They can hide it away, safe in a box And hope they outlast the rusty locks Chorus © 2008 Leesha Harvey
Falling Slowly- From the Movie Once (Swell Season Cover) LeeshaHarvey 2008-03-04 | The beautiful and award-winning song by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová. Tracks- Lead vocal Harmony Piano Guitar
Leesha Harvey Wounds (Original) LeeshaHarvey 2008-02-13 | I know I've been MIA on the Tube for a while... I apologize that I haven't been keeping up with your comments or making comments on your videos. And I had to resort to the ol' crummy webcam for this one... sorry, couldn't be helped! :) This song is based on the proverb "Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses." Sometimes there are so many people telling us what to do, it's hard to sort out the good from the bad... and the one we should listen to is often the hardest to hear. Wounds Shored-up defenses Like privacy fences Welcome the enemy But keep out the friend Hits and near misses Of traitorous kisses Flatter at first But they kill in the end Chorus: So bring on the wounds that heal Show me which weapon is real As I put my arms down Would you put yours around me? I'll welcome the wounds, my friend Critics and mockers and Occasional stalkers Rivals and renegade foes in disguise Fans and well wishers And good advice-dishers how will I see through my ever-vain eyes? (Chorus) The portcullis is up, the draw bridge is down The white flags are flying all around Pacing the look-out, watching for you My sweet-footed messenger, tempered and true Time will reveal if the things that I feel Align with reality or just with my fear Though I feel busted, these wounds can be trusted Blowing away all the smoke from the mirrors (Chorus) © 2008 Leesha Harvey
Leesha Harvey Dont Hold It Against Me LeeshaHarvey 2008-01-14 | Recorded in one take in my kitchen. Tuning: D A D F# A D (Capo 1) Don't Hold It Against Me A hint of recognition A little bit of danger in your eye This room isn't big enough We can't avoid it even if we try The person between you and me Makes introductions awkwardly But we both pretend we've never met before You shake my hand then look away And I search for some smart words to say But then again you've heard them all before Chorus: Don't hold it against me I know I said too much and I bled too much in your arms But that was then, and if you were me, You'd have done the same, you'd have done the same thing Don't hold it against me Loneliness can drive you Down the roads you never meant to go I thought I was wiser But you knew things I guess I didn't know I wonder how it must have seemed As I worked my way into your dreams But I never meant to get the best of you Drowning, hoping you would save And taking everything you gave I never knew what my pain put you through Bridge: We're just standing here in silence When something makes you laugh And I see the spark that I loved back then And I'm wanting you all over again, I'm wanting you all over again Yes I'm wanting you all over again © 2008 Leesha Harvey
Apologize - OneRepublic Cover LeeshaHarvey 2007-12-22 | My version of "Apologize." I played, recorded, and mixed all the tracks myself: Vocals Piano (keyboard) Acoustic guitar Bass guitar Percussion-- back of an old guitar, a spare bass drum I found in our basement (don't ask me how it got there!), and a tambourine I did all the video editing as well...all in our spare bedroom. Needless to say, it took a lot of time, but it was fun! Hope you enjoy it--let me know what you think! Please check out my original music on my channel page. Thanks! And if you're wondering about the very end... well, I can never take myself too seriously! :D
Christmas Medley- Leesha Harvey LeeshaHarvey 2007-12-17 | Over 350 subscribers! Wow! Thank you all so much for making my first six months on YouTube so much fun. I hope you enjoy this Christmas medley on piano. (I'm pretty much making it up as I go along, so if you were wanting sheet music... sorry!) :D Merry Christmas everyone!
Leesha Harvey Beautiful Destruction (Original) LeeshaHarvey 2007-11-27 | My low-tech music video put with my original music. Necessary equipment included Windows Movie Maker, a used digital camcorder purchased off of eBay, and a small container of blue Play-doh. ;-) I've tried to add some extra instrumentation to this song, so it may sound better with headphones or good speakers (probably can't hear the bass through a laptop!). Beautiful Destruction I listen to the music of the wind chimes on my front porch It's blowing again Is it the winds of change or just another storm about to rip the roof, flood the floors, and blow my house in The sand is slipping away I pull off all the shutters and I open all the windows So the breeze can blow through It's strong but silent As it clears out all the cobwebs and all long-held illusions I've assumed to be true The scales are falling away.... Away... (Chorus) Beautiful destruction You're tearing me apart Melting the cold logic of my heart All these years I've known You And sat with You to dine Could it be I'm seeing You for the first time? Windblown, drenched by all the rain, I stand here shocked and quite ashamed It made so much sense I chose the obvious Forgetting You're mysterious and love to work in ways that seem both foolish and weak I lost sight of Your love.... Your love... (Chorus) I lie here restless on my bed And contemplate letters in red And wonder if You really meant all the things You said I took Your words and qualified them Till I practically denied them And presumed to speak as one who knew You well... (Chorus) © 2007 Leesha Harvey
The Great American Novel (Larry Norman Cover) LeeshaHarvey 2007-11-14 | What do you do when your attempts to write a socially conscious song keep falling flat? Sing someone else's socially conscious song! Gotta get my angst out somehow! :) Hence, I give you a rather thrown together version of Larry Norman's song "The Great American Novel." This song was written around 1971 I think. Over 35 years and still there is nothing new under the sun. I apologize for the crappy webcam sound and stuffed up sinuses. I know I look like a train wreck in this video (I rather felt like one when I recorded it last night), but when music is your therapy and YouTube is your outlet, there is little room for vanity I suppose! Also, I'm playing from memory so the lyrics and chords aren't 100% accurate. My apologies.
The Song for Thursday (Original / Live) LeeshaHarvey 2007-11-07 | About the song: I wrote it a few weeks ago after reading the novel by G.K. Chesterton called "The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare." What a bizarre yet brilliant book! Don't worry if you have never read it--I think the song took on a meaning of its own as soon as I finished it. Hope you like it. The Song for Thursday The universe has bottomed out Look at that blood-red sky Just poets in a shadowed park You and I Your anarchy needs order Must have something there to fight You can't see the tree before you Without a light We're running through side streets Chased by our fears Cause the One that we hate and we love is getting near Waiting for Sunday to appear No way that we can hide (So) drop the mask, all you fakers here We're on the same side (2x) Am I asleep and dreaming Or I'm a going mad? Seems the thing that I've been looking for I already had We keep holding hard To the thing unseen It's the only thing we know to be true in this crazy dream Where we going now? This is getting strange... Irresistibly pulled to the Man who changed my name © 2007 Leesha Harvey
Somewhere Only We Know (Keane/Lifehouse Cover) LeeshaHarvey 2007-10-17 | For my latest installment, I scoured my pre-YouTube video archives for something to share. This is my version of Lifehouse's version of Keane. At the time this video was recorded, I had only had my shiny new red Ovation guitar for a couple weeks, and I had only been playing guitar with any sort of seriousness for a couple of months, so please forgive the blunders.
Runyararo - A Song for Zimbabwe LeeshaHarvey 2007-10-07 | I wrote this song about a week ago after speaking with my Mom who lives in Zimbabwe. She told me many stories of things she has seen in the past few months, and while thinking about these stories this song was born. The photographs are all from Zimbabwe--most of them are ones my mother has taken. Runyararo (means "peace" in Shona*): Hold your hand out, child, hold your hand out and I'll fill it I know it's not much, but will it do? It's a big world and we're two small people in it If I could change it, I would for you But all I have is love Lift your head up, friend, lift your head and don't you worry Somehow we'll find a way to make it through Put your gun down, man, cause we're not here for fighting We're simply surviving, much like you And all we have is love All we have is love Ooo, Runyararo Ooo, Runyararo Let your pride go, sir, let your pride go and help fix this There will be no claiming, you never knew Are you watching, world, do you see the people dying? And are you trying, to do all you can do? Have you not love? Have you not love? Ooo, Runyararo Ooo, Runyararo © 2007 Leesha Harvey (*Please note, I do not speak Shona, so I apologize for any mistakes in my pronunciation.)
With or Without You Cover Unscripted and Unedited LeeshaHarvey 2007-09-12 | I had no intention of putting this song on YouTube when I recorded it--it's only the second time I played it and I just wanted to know how it sounded. But my kids say it's just too funny not to share. Once you see the ending, you'll know why those of us with small children have to wait until after bedtime to do any serious recording!
