I'm on a boat

I have a story to tell. You wouldn't believe how many jokes I've heard about, "I'm on a Boat." this week. Don't get me wrong. It's a funny song, but it's pretty amazing when a song with so much swearing and inappropriateness is so well known. Take for instance, 5th and 6th grade church camp. We played a game this past Wednesday that was like The Price is Right. You were shown a picture of a valuable object, say the new XBOX 420, the 2009 Saturn Sky or... a speed boat. I ran around camp and had different sponsors of different ages hold the photo of the speed boat so I could take their photo. I wanted to see how many would say, "I'M ON A BOAT!" Even though I only did it to a few people, they all gave me the same response which was the one I wanted. They all knew the song. Today since their was no Sunday School class at church, I took six aged college students to Starbucks. An even three boys and three girls. Half of them were on summer break from college, the other half eagerly anticipating attending as freshman this upcoming fall. Though I brought up the song in a passing conversation, the jokes started to come out. Here are some of them.

Jeffy - You know if you took out all the bad words from, "I'm on a boat." It wouldn't be a bad song.
Jordan - Yeah, because the only words left would be, "I'm on a boat, flippy floppys, and mermaid."

Corey - We should do a spoof of the song so we can sing it within the walls of the church. You could say, "Churchgoer" instead of "motherf*cker."
Jeffy - Yeah, and it'll start out with me saying, "A free boat ride! Hmmm... who should I take? Corey, and.... T-Germs."
Me - Cool.

And the last joke was the one we all laughed and contributed to the most.

Jeffy - You know at my sisters wedding how they played like every popular song at the end? It was like listening to the top 40 on the radio. Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, Colbie Caillat, Norah Jones. In that order! Why not add the rest of the top songs! Throw in some Katy Perry! You know how the girl playing piano was singing all those songs one right after another? I thought it would be funny if instead, that she just combined all of them.

"I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when were together..." "Cause you done done me and you bet I felt it, I tried to be chill, but you're so hot that I melted..." "I've been awake for awhile now. You got me feeling like a child now, cause every time I see your bubbly face, I get the tinglings in a sill place. It starts with my toes and it crinkles my nose..." I waited till I saw the sun. I don't know why I didn't come..." "So shut up and put your money were your mouth is, that's what you get for waking up in Vegas. Get up and shake the glitter off your clothes now..." "I'm on boat... I'm on a boat... Everybody look at me, I'm saiiillling on a boat..."
