Norwegian Wood Winner and Song Parody
by Jenners • 05/24/2012 • Giveaway • 35 Comments
Thought I’d mix up my giveaway winner announcement with a little song parody. Oh, and by the way, Melissa from Avid Reader’s Musings, you’re the winner of the book!
Sung to the tune of Norwegian Wood by the Beatles
I once had a book, or should I say, a book once had me…
It showed me life in Japan, isn’t it good, norwegian wood?
The book was written by Haruki and it was easy to read
I thought it would be weird but I noticed it wasn’t
I sat in my chair, reading each page, drinking in prose
I read until two and then my husband said, “It’s time for bed”
The book was about Toru and Nakao and Midori and their lives.
There was sex and there was sadness and suicides
And when I was done, I was content, this book was good
So I had a giveaway, isn’t it good, norwegian wood.
Soon to be living a new life in Melissa's house
Great song parody!
I am very impressed, Jenners! That is more than I can do, as poetry or any sort of lyric writing was always beyond my ken.
Congrats to the winner!
Well, considering I just changed words of someone else’s song, it isn’t that impressive actually.
Oh, you had me singing along! You did a great job writing those lyrics to meet that very specific and memorable melody. Are you ready to be a songwriter now???
I’m a song appropriator more than a songwriter.
So talented…and funny!
That has to be the best contests winner announcement ever!
I’m so glad one of us is writing songs!
I thought of you while writing it. You’d been missing from blog land for so long (in blogging terms) that I felt like there was a hole to be filled. HAHA!
I love it when you do songs Jenners. It makes my whole day brighten up. Thanks for doing this one. I really needed that smile today.
I’m sorry to hear you needed a smile today but I’m glad I was able to provide one.
Only you could come up with something like this for a review. Awesome! Congratulations Melissa!
too cute! now when do we get the video for this catchy tune?
How about you get the video at the twelfth of never!>
You are too creative Jenners!
Ahh you crack me up and for that… I am glad
I am glad you feel that way.
Very creative! Now I’m going to have that in my head all day though.
I’m glad to be of service.
Fun approach; I could hear the tune, clearly. Congrats to Melissa!
Hopefully with John Lennon singing and not me! : )
You’re so creative!
what an..interesting…poem.
Congrads to Melissa!!
You are just awesome. Now I’m even more excited to read it! Thank you!
I’m happy for you to have it to read!! I shall get in the mail early next week!
“a book once had me,” ha! I think books had us from early on.
I agree 100%!
Obviously another talent of yours, well done on this fun re-write.
Life in Japan is as well but I’m not a Beetle fan!
Hehe, that’s awesome!
I can so hear you singing that tune. Congratulations, sounds like a good book.
I’m so sorry you could hear me singing that tune. I’m musically challenged so it must have been painful for you.
You are so clever!! Congratulations Melissa!
You are a woman of many talents. I’m impressed!!
Congratulations to the winner!
It would be more impressive if I had actually written a song I think! : )
