Song of the Snickerdoodle

So the long awaited song is actually here. I'm not even sure what to say. I had great fun filming this. I promised that I'd have this song up a week ago so I'm sorry for the lateness. Also I lack the technical expertise to make this video polished and I just know the song has a lot more potential in the right hands. But it's the best I can do. There was supposed to be a piano part but I have failed at adding it in. It was nothing special. The song is the main thing! :D

Lyrics below.

Also just incase you haven't read it before this song was heavily inspired by the fanfic Two Girls One Snail written by Quinn and Bryony. Please check it out because it is supermegafoxyawesomehot.

Song of the Snickerdoodle

Two young girls named Ari and Gwen
Back to Hogwarts yet again
To magical beasts
And magical feasts
With Phyllis the poisonous snail

Gwen McKee and Ari G
Both Ravenclaws, awesome and quite quirky
Skipped their way
Down Diagon Alley
With Phyllis the poisonous snail

CHORUS:

Once a Phyllis
Always a Phyllis
A Phyllis she will be

Once a Phyllis
Always a Phyllis
A Phyllis she will be

Miss McKee she suddenly smiled
At the father of her yet to be child
"Oh Severus dear
How you brighten my year
I'm making an entrance in style!"

Though impassive in tone
Snape inwardly moaned
And swooped away on his bat like stride
“Flick it Ari! Flick the eyebrow!
And apologise!”

CHORUS:

“We’re already here”
“I’m already hungry”
“Shush no tutting!”
The witchard looked angry
“Quiet in the bookshop!”
Gwen innocently smiled
And Ari just rolled her eyes

Tweedle dum and tweedle dumber
“You’re not Angelina, you’re Arianna!”
 “Sure thing, butterfly wing!”
The creepy goth chick buys a snail

CHORUS:

How is that too obvious? Don’t you understand?
I could have hired out a big brass band,
And huge red arrows on a giant sign
For a party of the secret snail!

Awkward babies
With awkward cake
An awkward degree
And an awkward mistake

They live awkward jobs
Beneath awkward sun
They'll explode awkwardly above our heads
One by one.

CHORUS:

Malfoy almost surprised the wizarding nation
 Without saying “my father”
 For a whole conversation
Yet it wasn’t to be
For the ferret I see
That I have the misfortunate to know

That boy he’s so charming, such wit and such spark
I hope he gets raped and then eaten by a shark
But first can I shoot him, and push him off a bridge
Into the river below

 CHORUS:

Teapots are actually people too
Wasting their tea is a cruel thing to do
Don’t throw it out of a nearby window
Though it’s unlimited supply!

Yo yo. Hey ho. Listen to me go
If you can't catch up y'all all too slow.

Gwen tried to avoid Malfoy's coerced affection
By starting up a china cat collection
She promised to clean it every day of her life
Rather than become young Draco's wife

Yet Ari had a determined look in her eyes
"Cleaning china cats together
Is the perfect bonding exercise"
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?
Would it be worth it for a profiterole pasty?
Detention versus deliciousness
Firstie, it’s a nickname dear
Remember that Gwen knows best

What on earth is a Snickerdoodle?
Ninja? or a funeral director?
Steve Jobs or a Death Eater?
They’re probably all the same

CHORUS:

Dumbledore singing to Katy Perry
Bloody Baron’s dancing’s extraordinary
How many imaginary rainbows can I excrete?
Snape’s goldfish impression’s a treat

Umbridge looked on with an expression of distaste
It resided unending upon her face
“Hamburger, Chinese water torture”
And thus the year begins

CHORUS x2

101 Songs 4 Chords

Well this is new. In practise for a video that I hope to upload sometime soon and also for general awesomeness I have recorded my own version of the four chord song. If you don't know what that is then you can youtube "the axis of awesome four chord song" but basically the last 50 years or so most of the music released has all used the same 4 chords. I don't think anyone has ever made a video with 101 songs before but I thought I would.


Apologies for the few mistakes, mainly when I got the piano wrong. Performing in front of an audience even though it is just a camera made me nervous. But apart from that I hope you enjoy.  I recorded this so many times because I had to do it one take as I am unable to video edit :P And I kept on making mistakes. And eventually the first take with minimal mistakes my voice had worn out so I had to wait until the next day to record this take. But the advantage is that I now know this song so well I was able to struggle through it at double speed which is amusing. Hopefully I shall record that too.

Octa In Da House

Ok so there are two posts that I've wanted to upload for a very long time. Both of them are songs. Hopefully I should have one of them posted by this evening.
The second song is an original one and there is a section in which I try  to rap.
This is a sneak preview of what I will look like.


I swear I shall not be able to keep a straight face. But anyway I hope it is online soon.

My Epiphany

I just realised that May backwards is yam.

That is all.
