Rejected By Amy Winehouse

by Mrs. Chicken on February 11, 2008

In honor of the British pop star who won the Grammy for Song Of The Year last night for “Rehab,” I offer the following alternate, rejected verses for this catchy tune, written by The Poo:

Tried to make me use the potty, I said no, no, NO

Tried to make me smell a raisin, I said no, no, NO

They tried to extricate a booger, I said no, no, NO

Tried to make me try some Cool Whip, I said no, no, NO

Told me to clean up my ponies, I said no, no, NO

Told me it was almost bedtime, I said no, no, NO

Tried to make me eat my chicken, I said no, no NO

In other news, I’m still looking for questions. You know you want to ask. Then take a look over here, and I’ll tell you why a certain Bob The Builder DVD earned the Poo Seal Of Approval.

Funny, most little kids are good at picking their own noses.

How did you and your husband meet?
Do you have a funny college or grad school memory?
Do you keep a list of “Things I wish I’d said,” and would you ever consider publishing it?

Hmmm… since she did go to rehab, eventually, does this mean the Poo will someday use the potty, extricate boogers and smell a raisin? Important questions…

Yeah, and I don’t get her either.

I am quite shocked that she did so well last night. I mean, I only know the one song – Rehab and it’s not THAT great.

Plus, she’s one hot mess.

LOL! Why is that song so hypnotic….

*snort* “smell a raisin”

Are you snorting raisins over there? They are chock full of potassium. Does that help?

Henry loves that song. Whenever he rides in my car he asks me to find the No No No song on the radio.

Oh good grief – I hate that song. And yet… if I happen to hear it, it sticks in my head for HOURS. Ugh. (Though I like the “potty” version. May try to mentally replace the real lyrics from now on.)

My question: do you have a favorite framed photograph in your home? What is it of – who took it – where is it hanging?

I love Amy Winehouse.

And I like your take on it too.

You could do a name post…

Ick. Iiiccckkk. Amy Winehouse is one of the few women who makes me cringe just by the sight of her (Tara Reid is another).

What do raisins smell like?

Jenni February 11, 2008 at 7:00 pm

I think she’s got a stash in that beehive.

Carrie February 11, 2008 at 8:11 pm

I can’t believe that the Poo didn’t want to eat her chicken!

Question: What is your favorite in-animate object in your home and why?

amanda February 11, 2008 at 9:59 pm

love the poo’s version, sooo much better!

? – i know it’s kinda cheesy, but what’s your perfect day ?

We sang this same song to my niece when the airlines trashed the 120 ounces of frozen breastmilk that her mother had packed and she was forced to drink formula/breastmilk cocktail.

Now I can’t get the damn thing out of my head…
