Here's another example of what I waste my time on.  :-)

"ANIME EXPO"

This is sung more or less to the tune of "Paperback Writer".  Be creative
with where you put the accents, and it should work.  :-)  Stuff in
parenthesis is for the background singers.

Mr. Mike, will you take my check?
I'm completely broke, but what the heck.
I lifted cushions, broke my sister's bank.
Got my forty dollars, now I'm goin'
to the Anime Expo!  Anime Expo!

Well, it took some trouble, but I got my flight,
I spent two weeks sal'ry almost overnight.
I told my friend to tell my boss I'm dead,
so I have the time, and I'm goin'
to the Anime Expo!  Anime Expo!

Well, I've been otaku since I started school!   (Mi...ki...)
You know Kei and Yuri really make me drool!     (mo...to...)
I've got pictures of them on my bathroom wall,  (Te...ra...) 
and they might be there, so I gotta             (sa...wa...)
go to Anime Expo!  Anime Expo!

If you're gonna be there, you can find me there,
in my Gundam T-shirt and my messy hair.
Nearly starving, but I'm havin' fun,
'cuz I've got a life, and I found it
at the Anime Expo!  Anime Expo!

Da-da dum de-dum dum, pish!

Before anyone asks, my finances aren't that bad, but having money in the
bank isn't funny.  I don't have any DP posters in my bathroom; the humidity
would be bad for them.  My shirt is actually SD Silent Mobius, but try
fitting that phrase into a song.  It's pretty true about my hair though.
I try to comb it but it has other ideas.

Oh, yeah, and :-) :-) :-) :-) :-), okay?
