So I was at my (12-year-old) sister’s concert last night, and you know how you have to listen to ALL the songs by ALL the choirs* to hear one of your siblings sing? Well, concert choir sang a song called “Button Up Your Overcoat” and went something like this:

Button up your overcoat
When the wind is free
Take good care of yourself
You belong to me!

Hearing that, I thought “Wow, Edward Cullen’s gone 1950s!” Especially when it got to another verse:

Be careful crossing streets, ooh-ooh
Cut out sweets, ooh-ooh
Lay off meat, ooh-ooh
You’ll get a pain and ruin your tum-tum!

Wear your flannel underwear
When you climb a tree
Oh, take good care of yourself
You belong to me!

I was laughing the whole time. Any other songs that might go in Twilight: The 1950s Musical!?

*My sister described the choirs like this: Concert is the “pretty good” choir, Select is the girls who made it through the audition process, and Symphonic is the paste-eaters. She’s in Select. Just some big sis pride there. :)

Hahaha, nice! It does sound disturbingly Cullen-ish… so he’s progressed from “watching Bella sleep” to “taking deep interest in what sort of underwear she wears”, then?

Heeheehee, nice.

I wanted to add “The Chicken and the Hawk” to the list of Twilight: the Musical songs.

Well, a girly chicken fell in love with a chicken hawk…
Fell head over heels for that hawk’s sweet talk.

She said “take me up Hawky, take me up in the sky
I’m just a little bitty chicken and I don’t know how to fly.”

He said “Up, up and away, we goin’ fly all day… up, up, up, up and away.”

He met a bald headed eagle flying up there in the blue…
Well the eagle told the hawk, “I’m goin steal that chicken from you.”

Well the hawk start flying like a P8 single jet…
He said “cool down chicken, the eagle ain’t got us yet.”

As you can see, it captures the essential plot points of Twilight beautifully.

OMG, our beginning choir sang that song too! I never heard it though….
