Here we go again…she’s on Letterman
Vomit’s gonna fly…she had just dropped by
Straight from her pigpen
For the eyes no feast…New Yorkers she’s fleeced
It’s not hard to tell…she’s the queen of hell
She’s the Hildebeast
Evil absolute…give this witch the boot
She flew on her broom…into our front room
In her black pantsuit
Ground zero she went…photo-op event
Did she give a damn?…no, it was a scam
That was evident
For the eyes no feast…New Yorkers she’s fleeced
It’s not hard to tell…she’s the queen of hell
She’s the Hildebeast
It’s not hard to tell…she’s the queen of hell
She’s the Hildebeast
Stinking Hildebeast…stinking Hildebeast

Thanks. Yeah, made 'em up tonight. Except for "Ol' Crusty," of course. I've seen that one on FR many times.
The next step was to come up with some ideas around which to build a song. Keywords were important ---- black pantsuit, broom, what she's done to New York, evil, and my own creation of "Satan's daughter." In this case, Satan's daughter because "queen of hell" because it fit nicely.
Next step is to search through the MIDI files for the song and try a few version. Some work much better than others. Many, for the same song, are somewhat different in the number of beats. So, I pick the appropriate one and keep playing parts of the MIDI over and over as I develop the song.
I can usually now do a song in about 30-60 minutes. When I started, it was taking me hours. AMERICAN PIE took over 10 hours of work.
Also, although I don't use it now a great deal, WEBSTER'S COMPACT RYMING DICTIONARY is a wonderful asset.
My all time favorite was the one you wrote during the loooooong election count telling Al Gore that it was time for him to go!
And hearing you lead it LIVE in Westward is a fond memory from those times which now seem so long ago and innocent before the horrific atrocities committed on 9-11.
dfu - thanks for the advice. I went through some piano sheet music to try my hand and decided I should stick to playing songs written by others. You make it look so darn easy though.
