TRY TO SING MY WORDS TO IT!!

 

I’m in the mood for food since I began this diet! And if you too would try it, you would be craving food! Eating at a buffet surely would send me reeling. Oh, for that blissful feeling! I’m in the mood for food. Bridge: Asking myself if ever pizza could be my friend? Good sense though tells me never. Salads and fruit! They never end. With my bad attitude, I’ll never learn my lesson. Always I’ll be confessin’ I’m in the mood for food! Written Oct. 9, 2016 for John Hamilton's "Write me a song" Poetry Contest Sing to the tune of "I’m in the Mood for Love" written by Eddie Jefferson, a tune sung by over fifty artists (see lyrics below) I'm in the mood for love Simply because you're near me. Funny, but when you're near me I'm in the mood for love. Heaven is in your eyes Bright as the stars we're under Oh! Is it any wonder I'm in the mood for love? (Bridge) Why stop to think of whether This little dream might fade? We've put our hearts together Now we are one, I'm not afraid! If there's a cloud above If it should rain we'll let it But for tonight, forget it! I'm in the mood for love

So much fun to read (and sing) this ditty tonight. I can relate, whenever I have to diet, food is all I can think about. What a talent you have for updating song lyrics ("I heard Mother scolding Santa's elf")!

Eating with attitude, sans latitude? -- Is eating so h*llish? -- I'll take mine with mustard and relish.

I know how hard you strive to stick to a diet, so it is a smile you bring to my face when you write about food.

I like your version, Andrea. Both versions have one thing in common...hunger...hunger for love and hunger for food! ~ Regards // paul

It takes a lot of talent to rewrite lyrics. A perfect new rendition of this song. As funny as it is...most important it displays how talented you are. This is an easy fav for me.

Hey now...for the record, diets don't have to be all fruits and veggies. High protein is the way to go LOL! Good poem Andrea! Good luck in the contest. MC

Hilarious, now I'm in mood for pizza and it's only 5:50 in the morn! 'I have a fridge' it all comes together, too funny. :)

I predict this sailing to the top - great humour and the beat is perfect to match the melody:-) I have a copy of I'm in the mood for love its sung by Brian Ferry:-) hugs Jan xx7
