I love Carley Simon’s classic song “Anticipation”! I really love Mandy Moore’s cover of it too! As much as I love the song though, I think Carley and her songwriting team used the wrong word. Anticipation is a nifty feeling/sensation, but I think another ation-word is more fitting to the lyrics.
My version is called “Procrastination”. Since I am such an awesome song relyricist, I am only using the chorus and I am only changing one word. My version is sung to the tune of “Anticipation” and goes a little something like this: “Procrastination, procrastination, is making me late! It’s keeping me waiting!”
It works because the words have the same number of syllables! I feel like this is a Top Forty hit in the making. (more…)
When I finished summer school the last week in June, I was so excited to go home and do absolutely nothing academic for an extended period of time. I know this is going to sound odd, but I grew bored of doing nothing intellectually stimulating.
