TRACK 11 - A VERY SPICY SONG

Going to Buffalo Wild Wings with one of my best friends from college, I foolishly decide to get the hottest boneless wings they have. I didn't make it past wing five and was unable to taste anything for the next two days...6 years later I write a song about it!!! I was nervous about putting this song on the album until we went into production. It's a fun song to perform with the students, and they like the psych-out of me being upset not about sad things, but because I ate really spicy food. However, I was not sure how it would relate on recorded music when they can't see my facial reaction to eating spicy food. But once we added some cool drum beats, shakers, and created a fun refrain for kids to dance along to, I am now very happy to make this part of the CD too. (Side note: My dad and brother are huge Jets fans, but if you want to sing this for your friends, you can make it about any NFL team you want)

11. A VERY SPICY SONG

Not feeling good today, and I don’t know what to say

Happy is not how I feel, this bad feeling is real

I’ll tell you the problem that I got, I ate a pepper it was hot!!!

Well I’m on fire and the tears are streaming down from my face

I need some oxygen, I’m jumping up all over the place

My tongue starts panting, I’m scrunching up my nose

I’m pounding on the floor, and here it goes!

Aahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! Aahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Aahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! And stop!!

Watching football with my pets, I am rooting for the jets (or the giants, or whatever team you prefer)

I want them to win so bad, so do my brother and my dad

And as they fall short from the goal, I eat some chili from this bowl

Well I’m on fire and the tears are streaming down from my face

I need some oxygen, I’m jumping up all over the place

My tongue starts panting, I’m scrunching up my nose

I’m pounding on the floor, and here it goes!

Aahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! Aahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Aahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! And stop!!

With my friends the time moves fast, always thinking about the past

So many memories from long ago, when will we meet I do not know

What a sad sad thing, hey let me try that chicken wing

Well I’m on fire and the tears are streaming down from my face

I need some oxygen, I’m jumping up all over the place

My tongue starts panting, I’m scrunching up my nose

I’m pounding on the floor, and here it goes!

Aahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! Aahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Aahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

So if you’re eating something really hot and your friends ask what is wrong

Save up the words you need to speak, and sing this really spicy song

Well I’m on fire and the tears are streaming down from my face

I need some oxygen, I’m jumping up all over the place

My tongue starts panting, I’m scrunching up my nose

I’m pounding on the floor, and here it goes!

Aahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! Aahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Aahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! And stop!!
