I did this in one take, which is why there are sniffles and occasional slips, and didn't bother trying to strip out the vocals of the original or anything. "We Will Survive India" ended up taking many hours of time, so this is an experiment at a minimal-time filk recording. You can hear Tovar in the background on and off. As always, let me disclaim that I sing because it's fun, not because the result sounds good :).
She's Always "Dear Izzy" To Me
(with apologies to Billy Joel)
Voice w/ original at low volume - MP3
Voice only - MP3
She can thrill with a smile
she can bind with her eyes
she can ruin your day with her casual cries
Then make it all better with squeals of glee
She's my darling child
And she's always "Dear Izzy" to me.
She can fill you with love
She needs you can't leave you
You can argue with words
But she'll never believe you
And she'll take all the time that you thought was free
She steals all your sleep
But she's always "Dear Izzy" to me.
Oh...Can't take care of herself.
She can't wait if she wants.
Knows one moment in time
Oh....and she often gives up
When to sleep she goes down
A change we rarely mind.
She's the promise of more,
one step further from Eden
But she'll carelessly wake you
And scream your ears to bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be.
Vaguely reflects myself
So she's always "Dear Izzy" to me.
Oh...Can't take care of herself.
She can't wait if she wants.
Knows one moment in time
Oh....and she often gives up
When to sleep she goes down
A change we rarely mind.
She's frequently cute and she's suddenly cruel
She can't do as she pleases, by ability - a fool,
She's got no convictions, not until two or three
And the most she will do is throw screaming at you,
So she's always "Dear Izzy" to me.
Also, not that this is really art of a quality worth indexing and promoting, but I whipped up a "Patri's Silly Filk" page.
