The Pronoun Game

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I’m not sure this would work well with a thread buuuuut I thought it would be fun to introduce you to this game I invented that has been occupying a lot of my time for years. You sing a song, but replace all the 2nd and 3rd person pronouns with 1st person singular. Also making 1st person plural singular. People must think I’m absolutely insane when I walk down the street softly singing to myself

“I love me, I love me
and where I go I follow
I’ll always be my true love, my true love
from now until forever, forever
I will follow me
follow me where ever I may go
there isn’t an ocean too deep
no mountain so high it can keep
keep me from me…”

eh?

"I wish I would step down from that ledge, my friend . . . "

Uh . . . not going to tempt the fates twice:)

Please allow me to introduce myself / I’m a man of wealth and taste…

Wait, that doesn’t work.

Pleased to meet me / Hope I’ve guessed my name / But what’s puzzling me / Is the nature of my game

Sounds like a conversation someone in a straight jacket might have with themselves.

Or would that be, Sounds like a conversation I in a straight jacket might have with myself?

Since you only mentioned pronouns, I left the verbs the way they were.
I loves me, yeah, yeah, yeah
I loves me, yeah, yeah, yeah
I loves me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I think I lost my love,
Well, I saw me yesterday.
It’s me I’m thinking of
And I told me what to say.
I says I loves me
And I know that can’t be bad.
Yes, I loves me
And I know I should be glad. Ooh!

I said I hurt me so
I almost lost my mind.
I said to let me know
I’m not the hurting kind.
I say I loves me
And I know that can’t be bad.
Yes, I loves me
And I know I should be glad. Ooh!

I loves me, yeah, yeah, yeah
I loves me, yeah, yeah, yeah
And with a love like that
I know I should be glad.

And now it’s up to me,
I think it’s only fair,
Pride can hurt me, too,
Apologize to me
Because I loves me
And I know that can’t be bad.
Yes, I loves me
And I know I should be glad. Ooh!

I loves me, yeah, yeah, yeah
I loves me, yeah, yeah, yeah
And with a love like that
I know I should be glad.
With a love like that
I know I should be glad.
With a love like that,
I know I sho-o-ould
Be Glad!
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah Ye-ah.

…well, I changed those verbs that were in the form of contractions…
Here’s another (verbs changed, too)

I Shook Me All Night Long

I was a fast machine,
I kept my motor clean,
I was the best damn woman that I ever seen,

I had a-sightless eyes,
Telling me no lie,
Knockin’ me out with those American thighs,

Taking more than my share,
Had me fighting for air,
I told me to come, but I was already there,

‘Cos the walls start shaking,
The earth was quaking,
My mind was achin’,
And I was makin’ it and I…

Shook me all night long,
Yeah I, shook me all night long.

Running double time on that seduction line,
I’m one of a kind,
I’m just mine all mine,

Well my claws,
Are just another cause,
Made a meal out of me, and come back for more,

Tried to cool me down,
To take another round,
Well I’m back in the ring to take another swing,

But the walls were shaking,
The earth was quaking,
My mind was aching,
And I was making it and I…

Shook me all night long,
Yeah I, shook me all night long,
Knocked me out, I said I
Shook me all night long,
Had me shaking and I,
Shook me all night long,
Had me shaking,
Well I shook me…

[guitar solo]

I really shook me and I!
Shook me all night long,
Aaaaahaaaahaaaah I…
Shook me all night long,
Yeah yeah I,
Shook me all night long,
I really got me and I,
Shook me all night long,
Yeah I shook me,
Yeah I shook me,
All night long.

'Cause I have dumps like a truck, truck, truck
Thighs like what, what, what
Baby, move my butt, butt, butt
I think I’ll sing it again
I have dumps like a truck, truck, truck
Thighs like what, what, what
Baby, move my butt, butt, butt
Let me see my tho-oo-oooong

…I used to sing that one about myself all the time last year. Seriously. :slight_smile:
