So I think some of the most clever jokes/commercials/ads/etc are when people can learn to mock themselves. For instance - one of my favorite commercials is Brett Favre when he can't pick a tv at Sears. I am glad he realizes that we are sick of his indecision in retiring from the NFL every year. I laugh everytime I see it. Hopefully you do too. So today when I was on my homepage for Facebook I saw this video and thought it was quite hilarious especially because of the lyrics in the bridge - it is a spoof of "Hey There Delilah" by the Plain White T's (after they sold out) done by a couple Mormon missionaries and it was very clever so I thought I would share it with you! And I have posted the lyrics below:
Hey there Delilah (I’m at the MTC)
by Jason Edward Cassel
3:33
Hey there Delilah, what’s it like at BYU?
I’m just a quarter mile away, but feel so far away from you,
But that will do,Cuz two years from now I’ll be with you,
I know that’s true.
Hey there Delilah, don’t you worry about the distance,
Few more months and I can call you both on Mother’s D ay and Christmas.
Close your eyes,
Then just think of suits and ties,
But not other guys.
Cuz, you said you’d wait for me,
O, you said you’d wait for me,
O, I’m at the MTC,
O, I’m at the MTC,
at the MTC.
Now have some patience and don’t think of dating Conner,
Cuz two more years you may be done with school,
But I’ll return with honor.I can’t wait,
Just two more years till our next date,
It will be great.
O when you told me I was the love of your life,
And I just held you close and kissed you just like I’ll kiss my wife.
We said goodbye,
And I gave you my favorite tie,
There’s no need to cry.
Cuz, you said you’d wait for me,
O, you said you’d wait for me,
O, I’m at the MTC,
O, I’m at the MTC,
at the MTC.
There were RMs who made fun of me and said you’ll never wait for me,
To them I say ‘oh ye, of little faith.
’Cuz we’ve been dating for two months and I think that that’s long enough,
To know someone enough to feel this way.
I carry your picture with me and talk about you constantly,
I’m driving my companion insane,
And you’re to blame.
Woke up this morning, checked the mail right at dawn,
And just believe me girl how shocked I was to read those words,
“Dear John, I think we’re through,I meet a guy better than you,
Go ahead and cry if you want to,
Sincerely Delilah, missing you,
P.S. we’re through.”
O, you didn’t wait for me,
O, you didn’t wait for me,
O, you didn’t wait for me,
O, and I’m only at the MTC,
at the MTC…
