AFTERTONES
Boy, I Really Typed That Wrong
 (by Kathleen Brogan)
 
Kathleen Brogan is a long-time contributor to the Janis Ian Message Board, and from her many postings on the Board it's obvious she is an avid collector of Janis memorabilia, and a true Janis Ian guru!

Earlier this year, when there were a few "Refresh button" problems with the Board, and one or two Boarders' emotions were running a little high, Kathleen decided it was time to challenge Dee and me in the re-write stakes.  And here is her re-write of Janis' song "Boy, I Really Tied One On", from the great album "Aftertones".

Thank you, Kathleen ...

   Boy, I Really Typed That Wrong
 
 ... by Kathleen Brogan

  ... to the tune of "Boy, I Really Tied One On" by Janis Ian, from the album "Aftertones".

Boy, I really typed that wrong,
I asked about a Janis song
I really must confess
My posting is a mess
And I’m sorry that it came out so long

I don’t mean to undermine
Most of what I read is fine
I really had to laugh
When posting on Dee’s behalf
But I pushed “submit” 18 times

And although I have a great deal to say
It may not come out that way

Read up, I’ve got FAQ’s
Janis really reads this stuff, you know
These CD’s are new not used
E-bay auctions cost a lot of dough

Boy, I feel just like a jerk
My temper really needs some work
I took the ball ran
Like any other fan
Protecting her when she seemed irked.

I didn’t mean to sound so bent
I think this web page heaven sent
We sometimes get caught up with our own silly stuff
And wonder where our signed photos went

And I guess I’m just not tough enough
For the political stuff

Read up, I’ve got FAQ’s
I don’t really want to sound so dumb
I’m just clueless on the heated issues
But I do have a South African “Stars” Album
