Aladdin's Dilemma
Wish I could live In a movie world Guttin’ all the villains As I save the girl Wish I could ride In a fancy car Stocked with the best Like a rollin’ bar Wish I was sly As a wealthy gent Livin’ off the dole Of the government Wish I could crash In a sprawlin’ home Frontin’ some respect With a fine-tooth comb Wish I could master All the sickest moves And let the also-rans Bitch about the rules Wish there were wishes Tall enough to dream Until that day comes Let the whole world sing – Hey-noni-noni-noni-noni-noni-na-na Hey-na-na-na-na-na-na Hey-noni-noni-noni-noni-noni-na-na Hey-na-na-na-na-na-na A little bit of nothin’ Just sorta stings Burn it all down Join hands and sing… Hey-noni-noni-noni-noni-noni-na-na Hey-na-na-na-na-na-na Hey-noni-noni-noni-noni-noni-na-na Hey-na-na-na-na-na-na |

| So at my count, you've got six wishes here. The genie traditionally gives only three. So that's Aladdin's dilemma - how to handle a greedy wisher? Lol You need to hand this one over to Paul Simon or Jason Mraz, put a little pop tune to it with a reggae backbeat. As always, I love your work!

I can almost see the video in my mind. | My favorite lines: A little bit of nothin’ Just sorta stings Yep, this is bold and provocative and speaks to the want that is created from just seeing this type of lifestyle exalted and romanticized on TV and in the movies. And through music, of course. And yet, as Jacob points out, what would it really feel like? Would it bring a sense of depth and understanding to our lives? Would it create joy, bring inner peace? Evidence seems to be to the contrary. How many stars and people with money end up with drug habits, or commit suicide or have eating disorders or mental illness, alcoholism? "Things" don't seem to quell demons. In fact, at times they seem to fuel the demons' fires. Just sayin' . . . Good write, though. I enjoyed it. | Posted on 2012-06-16 00:00:00 | by JanePlane | [ Reply to This ] | i too wish i could do all these things...at least for one day, just to say i could and did...then i would want to go back to being little ole me. | you phrase so smoothly...seems effortless...but carries so much zing. jacob | Posted on 2012-05-23 00:00:00 | by jacoberin | [ Reply to This ] | |
