Tim Hawkins' "Atheist VBS Songs" Rewritten

It's been a long time, you guys. I have been working on job applications like mad. And I finally got a job as a bank teller. I enjoy it so far, I decided that as I work towards a career in music that finance would be something I enjoy and am good at as well, and it can be a job I can work my way up in if I so choose. It also pays nicely and to my satisfaction. I will always be a musician, and will always strive to be an entrepreneurial spirited composer and artist, no matter what I do to earn a living, and whether music is my main source of income or not. Fun fact-one of my favorite classes in undergrad was my Music Business class, which discussed many of the financial details and business strategies of record labels and music sales. I found it very interesting. More on that later.

I mentioned in my last post that I should rewrite some of the lyrics to Tim Hawkins' "Atheist VBS Songs," because I didn't feel they were as accurate as they could be. It could be called "VSA," or "Vacation School of Atheists," because "Atheist VBS" is an oxymoron. Still, I get what Tim Hawkins is trying to say, considering his audience. Also, evolution and atheism are two different topics and beliefs, although they can go together. However, the songs that I thought needed the most improvement included one about evolution. Disclaimer- I am not trying to promote anything specific. I am merely trying to show how to improve cheesy lyrics from the songs I began with. 😄

Here are my new and improved lyrics. If you are reading this post and you are an atheist, or if you believe in evolution, please tell me if they are accurate. Please remember to keep comments respectful, as I do not want people to fight online, I only want to share my creative (and scientifically written!) ideas with the world. So here they are.



"Evolution-This I Know"

Evolution, this I know
For our science tells me so
Little cells did I come from
What was weak turned into strong.

Yes, evolution
Yes, evolution
Yes, evolution
For science tells me so.

"Nature Loves the Little Children"

Nature loves the little children
All the children of the world
Red and yellow, black and white
Their genetics fit just right
Nature loves the little children of the world!


"I Am An A"

I am an A
I am an A T
I am an A T H E I S T,

And there is N O  G O D
In this W O R L D
And when I  D I E  I will be N O T H I N G! Hey!

The 2000s Mall

 Our world has gotten more and more depersonalized by the minute. Adults throwing temper tantrums, not being able to log into a computer without it tracking your account to a certain device, and robots making decisions for us have become the norm. And this is the world that I graduated into to work in. Particularly in the last four years, I have seen people behave in ways that they should be ashamed of. I have seen six-year-olds behave much more maturely than many adults I have seen. I realize that I am only in the first few years of my working life, but not too long ago things were much better. The Internet, cell phones and email are all older than me, but I think we need much, much more moderation of what I grew up with that has now grown out of control. If things could go back to the way they were when I was a kid, and even as a young teenager, life would be so, so much better. I know I have said this before, we need to go back to the 2000s. I have shared on this blog the various ba

Polly Esther's Life

Image
My baby kitty, Polly Esther, passed away June 3rd after 18 years of a good life, and finally, aging and refraining from eating for a few months. She may have been in pain from a tumor too.  I knew Polly would pass away sooner or later, as we all will die eventually. I was happy that she had made it to the legal age where she could smoke and vote. Not that she should've done the former, as it's harmful to one's health, and I think she would've done a good job with the latter, voting for LimberButt McCubbins for president (look him up), and choosing whether to vote DemoCat or RepubliCat. I hope any cat that I am a human to can make it this long.   I have always loved cats. I had wanted a cat from the time I was five years old. I remember laying in bed with my mother one night, and I told her, "Mommy, I want a cat. And I want to name her Polly." She said, "We'll have to pray for a kitty, honey." My father hated cats at the time,

Thoughtfulness

The Quiet Girl- Thoughtfulness   Artist: The Quiet Girl Song: Thoughtfulness Album: Sample Studio Recording "Reflections"          I have 2 studio recordings I have made now, as I wrote earlier. This is one of them. This is an original song I wrote called "Thoughtfulness", written for the hammered dulcimer and played by me. I am learning to use the studio well and it took forever for me to learn how to edit and export music, but I know these things well now. I am getting better and better at it, and I am better at it even now than I was when I made this recording, which was only about a month ago.    Recording in a studio is different from performing. Of course, you always have to practice to sound as good as possible, like if you were to perform in front of an audience. But when you are recording, if you make a mistake and it takes you 10 tries to get a part right, after you are done recording, you can keep the 10th try where you got it rig
