blrapping<\/span> – The art of rapping via a blog. Passing the figurative mic is encouraged. (not to be confused with blapping<\/a>!)<\/p>\n

Hey, I think I have coined a word that is more unpleasant to speak\/hear than ‘blogging’! Kudos to me!<\/p>\n

So, you may be happy to learn, I’m nearing the end of the musical novelties of Tim<\/a> and myself. Shortly after we took the world by storm with our unique take on R.E.M.<\/a>, we turned our sights on the burgeoning world of rap. The song is definitely of its time — note the Tone L\u014dc-inspired “Lezzzzdoit” at the beginning.<\/p>\n

We were actually trying to be funny at first, and then kind of liked how it was turning out, then tried to make the attempt a little more than half-assed (let’s say 3\/4-assed).<\/p>\n

Click on —> Bunkatania<\/a>
Timeshare bider
Surrounded by spiders
And you always want to solve things
With your supercollider<\/p>\n

Imminent danger
Everyone’s a stranger
And your only savior
Is away in a manger<\/p>\n

Bunk is the word
So kick in the funk<\/p>\n

Saturday drivers
Sunday survivors
And problems arise
From the reruns of MacGyver<\/p>\n

Always been wishing
But your mind’s out fishing
And the guts of your goat
Have the hint of premonition<\/p>\n

Bunk is the word
So kick in the funk-AY<\/p>\n

Media hell shoot
They’re in cahoots
They make it easy
To be led by your manroot<\/p>\n

Faceless ballet
Endless relay
You try to make sense
As you crawl down the hallway<\/p>\n

You’ve got a word face
But it ain’t gonna last
Your future is present
And your present is past<\/p>\n

Lewds
And Dudes
And Rudes
And Crudes
Take Their Broods
To Find Their Food
(Sears Roebuck Montgomery
Where they buy extra cutlery)<\/p>\n

Bunk is the word
So kick in the funk
Bunk is the word
So kick in the funk-AY<\/span><\/p>\n

Tim and I have a half-finished rap song we started recently. I think it’s actually turning out rather nice. We just have the backing tracks right now — haven’t done the rapping thang again, though we do have the beginnings of the lyrics written. I actually decided on a rap name for myself — King Lids. This was inspired by a visit to Burger King. But wait, stop! Allow me to introduce myself:

I’m King Lids
And I don’t wear a belt
I got more gold
Than Hanukkah gelt<\/p>\n

Gold like onion rings
My rhymes are fatal
I grow rosemary, thyme
And hydroponic basil<\/span><\/p>\n

And now I’d like to pass the mic, to my boy Tim, do anything you like!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
