Alpha Man

September 2, 2008 | Filed under: Stuff

We have a little song problem in this house. Alpha Man likes to sing songs, and I don’t like him to. First of all, the man is more than 50% deaf. Legitimately. Which means he’s 100% tone deaf. Oh my God is he tone deaf.

But that’s not what I object to. It’s his habit of changing around the words to every song to suit him. Usually this means the song takes on a naughty spin. So much so that I can’t even repeat any of them here.

This is what I get for marrying the bad boy. My mother did warn me . . .

    Oh, well, some of us would put up with the “bad” singing for a bad boy ;)

    Maybe you & Alpha Man could put out a book of his naughty songs…I’d buy it LOL.

  2. Pat L. says:

    Me too would buy it. You two are a perfect pair. Alpha Naughty Boy and what shall we call you? Perfect Lady? Author-Comedianne? :rotfl:

  3. Laurie says:

    Too funny! My hubby used to always sing “My Baby Does the Hanky Panky” - when our oldest daughter was very small she started singing “My Mommy Does the Hanky Panky” - more than a little embarrassing at times.

  4. Elen says:

    Bad boy AND gifted. ;-)
    lolz

  5. Bailey Stewart says:

    Yeah? There’s a problem with that? I do it all of the time. Although the worst was when my brother changed the words to Little St. Nick by the Beach Boys. Yep, Little St. Dick. Can’t hear that song anymore …….

  6. Robin says:

    Aww, come on. Can’t you share just a lyric or two? At least he’s changing words to suit him. I get half the words wrong because I make up what I *think* is being sung. It makes me the target for much laughter when my family discovers my error.

  7. Nancy says:

    I take it that’s him with the dogs? A man who likes dirty lyrics and dogs? A keeper.

  8. Ashley says:

    But bad boys are the BEST!! :wigglebrow:

  9. sls-rainey says:

    This is the man who kills your spiders - and chases away furry critters. Don’t complain he may not come running the next time you scream. :wink:

    Well at least you know what’s on his mind. :wigglebrow:

  10. Sarah says:

    LOL
    A lot like my DH, only he doesn’t have the 50% deaf legitimate excuse.
    You know he’s a bad boy when he’s taking our children’s CHURCH songs and remaking the lyrics! (Our God likes cheesburgers and ham…)

  11. Gail says:

    Does he wear a hearing aid?

  12. Suzanne says:

    Aw, c’mon, repeat just one…..

  13. Jill says:

    Gail, he doesn’t. And when he sometimes talks too loud (or SINGS TOO LOUD) I always jokingly tell him that when he does get one, he’s going to scare himself.

  14. Karen Erickson says:

    Awww how sweet he sings you dirty songs. LOL Bad boys are fun.

    I gave you a blog award today! Just wanted to let you know…

  15. Susan says:

    I’m sure you can put up with the dirty songs as long as Alpha Man buys cookies for you. :wigglebrow:

  16. Kris says:

    LOL :guitar:

  17. Liza says:

    You gotta love a bad boy! :rotfl: …really, can’t we even get a couple of lines?

  18. Brandy says:

    At least he sings, my Hubs barely does in Church! *g* You know you’re going to have to share a line or two…..

  19. Cryna says:

    That is too funny, and I agree with the others you are going to have to share some of his not so naughty lines. :rotfl:

  20. Hélène says:

    LOL. Do you really think that a “nice guy” would have made you happier? After reading all of your books, I think not. You would have been bored to tears within months!
    Honestly, whenever you talk about Alpha man, we can read between the lines and we know, that in spite of him being tone deaf, and his “other” faults, you wouldn’t trade him for a million dollars…million boxes of cookies though….mmmmm?

  21. Jill says:

    Helene, lol. Trust me when I say, there are whole days where I would trade him for a case of cookies. Maybe not a box, but most definitely a case. :yes:

  22. Donna M says:

    You would maybe trade him, but remember all the days he killed spiders, bought you cookies & gave you 3 beautiful daughters. Sounds like a “bad boy” you should keep!!! :lol: I’m just sayin’!!! :cool:

  23. Diana says:

    I think Alpha Man should put out a CD (an EP at least) so we can hear firsthand what you’re talking about. :razz:

  24. limecello says:

    :lol: I have to admit, I’m curious. As for tone deaf… ack. I’d have trouble with that. I’m more in the perfect pitch camp :X.
