Prompt: "Just a Feeling"

----Bug's Song-----

Title: Liberal Kitty

Additional Challenge: 200bpm

Lyrics:

He's just a feline looking well groomed

He makes a beeline for me when he sees I have food

And you can see why kitty is the king of the house

you'll never hear him coming when he's ready to pounce


His heroes are awesome: Bagheera, Mufasa

He doesn't care for Aslan as we raised him as agnostic

If you put on the Aristocats he does get quite upset

cause this righteous little kitty really hates the 1%


He's a Liberal Kitty

That's the Liberal Kitty

He shimmy, shimmy, shimmies to the left,

and has the right to meow

He voted for Kamala but it didn't count

cause he's a liberal kitty, and just a literal cat


He's just a feline sharing his views

He doesn't see why people care which bathroom you use

and it seems like you shouldn't need 2 jobs to survive

sellling toe bean pictures on the web to get by


He donates to causes, his toe beans are awesome

Between Bernie and AOC his favorite's a toss-up

He thinks we'll have a woman running things eventually

and he really thinks that catnip should be moved to schedule 3


He's a liberal Kitty

That's the Liberal Kitty

He shimmy, shimmy, shimmies to the left,

and has the right to meow

He voted for Kamala but it didn't count

cause he's a liberal kitty, and just a literal cat


He is my liberal kitty

he's from a deep blue city

his toe beans are so pretty

He is my liberal kitty


He is my liberal kitty

he's from a deep blue city

his toe beans: itty bitty

He is my liberal kitty

 

---- Matt's Song -----

Title: Aurora Teagarden: Reunited and it feels so Deadly

Additional Challenge: Must be titled after a Hallmark Movie

Lyrics:

i gotta wonder what you're doing here

i gotta little too comfortable i think

i guess we gotta little used to not

running in running in running in each other

now we've had a bit of time to stew

to really soften us up and soak it all in

i thought i had a lot to say to you

but open my mouth and bite off the tip of my tongue


REUNITED AND IT FEELS SO DEADLY

REUNITED AND IT FEELS SO DEADLY


NANANANANA


what a pity that you brought a gun

i really thought for a moment you were happy to see me now

what a shame that i came prepared

with a kev with a kev with a kevlar vest

and then you ask me if i liked the taste

of my freshly brewed polonium tea

not as much as i like the sound

of the boom of the bomb that has gone off right under your seat


REUNITED AND IT FEELS SO DEADLY

REUNITED AND IT FEELS SO DEADLY


Hate is really just a feeling that we share

I squeeze your hand just to check you are still there

And I feel like squeeze back in the dark
