The Lyrics
Johnny D challenged me to write a song using the word "petroglyph." So I did.
Hiking around, red rock bluffs
Seeking petroglyphs, pictures of
Sheep and corn stalks, people too
All I want is to get one quick view
I see cave walls every time I dream
I'm an Indian artifact fiend
I love that thing called history
They're all I want, my fantasy
Oh, look at that deer upon that high cliff wall
Oh, try not to fall!
Petroglyph - want to find you
Petroglyph - look behind you
Petroglyph - all I want is a petroglyph
But please don't touch them!
I'm stumbling around, the July heat
I keep tripping over my feet
See that cactus, in that rut?
I'm picking its thorns out of my butt
But they got some kinda hold on me
they're all wrapped up in mystery
Who put them there? I want to see
I love the ancient artistry
Oh, look at that deer upon that high cliff wall
Oh, try not to fall!
Petroglyphs -want to find you
Petroglyph - look behind you
Petroglyph - all I want is a petroglyph
But please don't touch them!
Seeking petroglyphs, pictures of
Sheep and corn stalks, people too
All I want is to get one quick view
I see cave walls every time I dream
I'm an Indian artifact fiend
I love that thing called history
They're all I want, my fantasy
Oh, look at that deer upon that high cliff wall
Oh, try not to fall!
Petroglyph - want to find you
Petroglyph - look behind you
Petroglyph - all I want is a petroglyph
But please don't touch them!
I'm stumbling around, the July heat
I keep tripping over my feet
See that cactus, in that rut?
I'm picking its thorns out of my butt
But they got some kinda hold on me
they're all wrapped up in mystery
Who put them there? I want to see
I love the ancient artistry
Oh, look at that deer upon that high cliff wall
Oh, try not to fall!
Petroglyphs -want to find you
Petroglyph - look behind you
Petroglyph - all I want is a petroglyph
But please don't touch them!

I'm impressed...
I'm with Phil! 5s! My favorite line...as is probably predictable, is "See that cactus, in that rut? I’m picking its thorns out of my butt."
You did it! Good job!
Awesome
Whazza petroglyph?? :-) 555
Excellent work!!! I would have a HELL of a time trying to come up with a parody like this! Nice work! :)
Thank you Phil, Arwen, (that's my favorite too!) Johnny, lebiew, Kristof, and Cookie! Oh and Kristof, on your way to Wyoming, come to Utah and I'll show you some. And then I'll hit you on the head with a tack hammer because you are a ding dong.
Fiendish challenge; clever response.
Rock-solid, Ash!! Fine job, 5s. (And lol comment back to our friend Kristoff!)
Thanks John and Rod!
Let me present you with another paleonthology find: Three painted five-fingered hands...
Kristof isn't coming to Wyoming...is he? Did you just ruin a surprise, Ashkicksass??
K1chyd - LOL, thanks! And Arwen, I just figured it was inevitable considering the tributes and constant flirting...
Ahhhh...I get it...heehee...
I like parodies about stuff that's not very common...they can be pretty tough to do sometimes. Good job on this one.
So do I. Thanks, Great Karlando!
Working on one for this, so I came across yours...it rocks!
I am impressed too. This did not deserve lower than 5. Here's 3 more.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing! :)
