Those who frequently call me on my cell phone get to hear what I mean by Jenne's silly songs. I do not write my own melodies typically but I will use well known melodies from a variety of sources: popular children's music, traditional children's music, religious hymns, popular music, etc.
Some examples:
Come follow Me, your mama says.
Its time to sleep in your bed.
Come lay down with your blanket.
Close your eyes and fall to sleep.
(to the tune of Come Follow Me, Hymn 116, LDS Hymnal)
(Or to the tune of Once There was a Snowman from the LDS Children's Songbook)
Once there was a Willem, Willem, Willem.
Once there was a Willem, small small small.
With proper nutrition, 'trition, 'trition.
With proper nutrition, he grew tall.
2nd verse
One there was a Willem, Willem, Willem.
Once there was a Willem, small small small.
With the mama milk, milk milk milk milk milk milk
With the mama milk milk, he grew tall.
And my current cell phone message:
You have called a Jenne a Jenne a Jenne
You have called a Jenne, on her phone.
Please leave her a message, message, message.
Please leave her a message, after the tone.
A previous cell phone message:
Hello, hello! Hello, hello!
You've called to me this day.
Hello, hello! Hello, hello!
I'm glad you've called my way.
To share with me a conversation.
Calling you back is my idea of fun.
Hello, hello! Hello, hello!
Please leave a message now.
(to the tune of Hello, Hello, LDS Children's Songbook)
And to the tune of Laurie Berkner's Song in My Tummy:
I've got a baby in my tummy and it wants to come out.
I've got a baby in my tummy.
I've got a baby in my tummy and it wants to come out.
I've got a baby in my tummy.
I've got a baby in my tummy and it wants to come out.
And when it does, I'm going to sing and shout! La la la!
I've got a baby in my tummy!
I've got some love in my heart and it wants to come out.
I've got some love in my heart.
I've got some love in my heart and it wants to come.
I've got some love in my heart.
I've got some love in my heart and it wants to come out.
And when it does, I'm going to sing and shout! La la la!
I've got some love in my heart!
To the Venga Boys "We Like to Party"
We like the boobies!
We like, we like the boobies!
we like the boobies.
We like, we like the boobies!
(what babies say about the preferred food source)
If any one really wants to hear my renditions of these tunes, let me know and I'll post some video for your viewing pleasure.
