Don't be ridiculous

I was busy cleaning out my email and found this in an old (very) draft. I want to put it somewhere safe, so it's now a blog :)

But first a bit of background:
Andrea, Kirsten and I were inspired to write a song while we were away in Onrus together after matric. It was really dumb, but we loved it. (but that song is another blog for another time)
Another thing we did on our weekend away was play the game Mad Gab. We all cracked up at the line "Don Bee Rid He Cue Lous" (or something like that) and so we started saying it about everything.
The next week when we went to Kleinmond for the young adults weekend away, Andrea and Kirsten started making up a new song (with input from Allison too if I remember correctly). Naturally "don't be ridiculous" had to be in the new song. I was busy playing war, so only helped write some of the song.
For Summer Camp, Andrea, Kirsten and I went up on stage and sang it (Andrea played guitar as well) for the Summer Camp talent show thing! It was quite an experience.

Anyway, here's the song.

Verse 1:

Sitting in the sun

Tryin'a catch a tan

Getting really hot

So I need fan

Trying to conform

To society

We're not really free

To be who we wanna be

Pre Chorus:

You're so superficial

But you don't realise that you're God's official one

Chorus:

Don't be ridiculous (x3)

You're so, you're so ridiculous

Verse 2:

You are trying to be

So popular

Livin' like you're in

a Soap-Opera

Try 'n get yourself

A new hottie

So you can take him to

the latest party

You're so superficial

You don't realise that you're God's official one

Don't be ridiculous (x3)

You're so, you're so ridiculous

Bridge:

God made you in his own special way

Thinking of you every day

When you're feeling lonely

He'll be there to keep you company

Don't be ridiculous (x3)

You're so, you're so ridiculous

You're so superficial

You don't realise that you're God's official one
