THE REAL REASON: Because I haven't been to TX in a while! Looking forward to visiting Meh HQ in the early weeks of 2015 and forcing more staffers to undergo this particular brand of humiliation.
I finally got around to making one of these tonight... Here's my take on "Jolene." I tried to preserve the amount of beats in each line where possible.
Oh Jo, Oh Jo, Oh Jo, Oh Jo I beg you now to not rip off my man. Oh Jo, Oh Jo, Oh Jo, Oh Jo Do not win him as yet you are apt.
To my eye you are the top you own a wig-cut red and tan so wan you are by eye of pea-gem hue
The lip of you is new as May the voice of you is as hot dew And I can not win a bid for him, Jo.
I see him gab of you in his nap There is no way for me to not cry if he did say the tag of you, Jo.
And to me it is no big job to see how you can rip off my man But you do not see how tip-top he is to me, Jo.
Oh Jo, Oh Jo, Oh Jo, Oh Jo I’ll beg you now to not rip off my man. Oh Jo, Oh Jo, Oh Jo, Oh Jo Do not win him as yet you are apt.
You can get any man you are big on bar him no man can I be mad for No new man can sub for him, oh Jo.
I had to gab to you, for me My joy is in Jo’s paw you see, in any act you opt to do, oh Jo.
Oh Jo, Oh Jo, Oh Jo, Oh Jo I’ll beg you now to not rip off my man. Oh Jo, Oh Jo, Oh Jo, Oh Jo Do not win him as yet you are apt. Oh Jo, Oh Jo.
It's Irk. What's not to love? (Though a few lines were a bit of stretch. Still beats the snot out of what I could probably come up with.)
Still laughing.
proof even the most ridiculous words are cute when Irk sings them
@don That's why Irk does these videos now instead of Meh staffers. When Irk sings it, it's okay for some reason.

@matthew Wait wait wait. You aren't in Texas?? Where are you?
secure, undisclosed location
@matthew Ooh, I know - I know! Is it rainy today?
I am going to be singing that all day at work tomorrow.
@conandlibrarian Shhh! We'll have quiet in the library!
My kitty thinks Irk is a hoot.

@andrewpatrick This is great, but will probably get forgotten about unless you put it in the official Mad Ape Dan thread: https://meh.com/forum/topics/mad-ape-den---you-can-jot-in-it-yay
@andrewpatrick A couple five-letter words slipped in. (voice & there)
@SSteve Thanks. I am not able to edit it for some reason but I suppose "voice" could be replaced with "say-hum" and "there is" with "I see."
I <3 Irk and this Christmas jingle isn't too bad either. Ohh and ass hats to you and yours!
First Christmas song I heard all year.
Bump for the folks in Georgia and the Carolinas**
Tis the season for my favorite Irk
