Huge Euge asks, Huge Euge receives!

I'd originally envisioned My Mundane Life in Song as a challenge - for those of you were there at the beginning, my goal was "a song a day," no matter how awful.

It deteriorated to "a song a week," no matter how awful. Knowing I'd probably run out of ideas (really, a song a week is tough!) I'd hoped that the blog itself would generate potential song topics. Huge Euge, without knowing this, suggested a song via blog last week after The Ethan Hawke Encounter.

And here it is!

When telling people about The Ethan Hawke Encounter, I was surprised that nobody really cared. People said things like "But he's all weird now" and "He cheated on Uma!" and "But his book was so bad!"

I defended my stance on thinking this was a cool celebrity encounter, because (a) I loved Ethan Hawke - I loved him in "Dead Poets Society" and "Reality Bites." Who didn't? Admit it! Just admit it! And I loved the movie "Alive," which a lot of people don't realize that he was in.

One of my best (and worst) traits is my loyalty. In my mind, Ethan Hawke hasn't done anything on a professional level to make me dislike him. Yes, maybe he's less than appealing aesthetically these days and yes, maybe he's engaged in some morally questionable activities in his personal life, but this does not take away from his cinematic body of work. Plus, I thought he was amazing in "Hurly Burly."

So here's the song about The Ethan Hawke Encounter.

I hope you like it. Please forgive the roaring of the air conditioner in the background and the fact that this song sounds much like a bunch of old songs, namely "It Is Cool When Tons of Robots Climb on Things."

But My Mundane Life In Song should have songs, no matter how terrible they are.

And feel free to offer up suggestions for future songs.

Enjoy!


Lyrics:

What movie is Ethan Hawke going to see in Chelsea?
Why does Ethan Hawke insist on looking homeless and surly? Like a hillbilly?

Ever since the I moved to New York
I've developed an awful habit of being late to everything
It blows my mind that anyone even still makes plans with me

I bet Eugene was pleased
That I wasn't on time
Cuz if I was there wouldn't be blog entries to write

What movie is Ethan Hawke going to see in Chelsea?
Why does Ethan Hawke insist on looking homeless and surly? Like a hillbilly?

Of course I want to stalk Ethan Hawke
Even if he looks a little frightening
That doesn't make me not want to own Dead Poets Society

Yeah he looks real weird
But I don't care
Because he meant a lot to me when I was thirteen

Maybe he's getting a ticket to Wedding Crashers
Or Happy Endings
Or Mad Hot Ballroom, which I'm dying to see!
Which only proves that Ethan Hawke should be best friends with me

What movie is Ethan Hawke going to see in Chelsea?
Why does Ethan Hawke insist on looking homeless and surly? Like a hillbilly?

What movie is Ethan Hawke going to see in Chelsea?
Why does Ethan Hawke insist on looking homeless and surly? Like a hillbilly?
