Bad for Shidduchim

Shidduch Musical Submission (2)

Filed under: The System — bad4shidduchim @ 8:37 am

Well, the judges filtered out the truly horrific suggestions, and we’re left with a few songs for the shidduch musical.

The first is “I Gotta Feeling,” (warning: women singing) which aptly (if not verbosely) describes the high of hope you have when someone sounds perfect on paper and you’re not yet very jaded about paperly perfect matches.

Submission by JPS. I made some editorial changes in blue. (His original is over here.) The repetition of the main paragraph could be split between the guy, the girl, and her parents, while the chorus part could either go to the parents or to the friends of the couple. In other words, it has versatility and potential.

The Song:

I gotta feeling…
That tonight’s gonna be a good date

That tonight’s gonna be a good date
That tonight’s gonna be a good good date

I gotta feeling…
That tonight’s gonna be a good date
That tonight’s gonna be a good date
That tonight’s gonna be a good good date

I gotta feeling… (Woohoo)
That tonight’s gonna be a good date
That tonight’s gonna be a good date
That tonight’s gonna be a good good date

I gotta feeling… (Woohoo)
That tonight’s gonna be a good date
That tonight’s gonna be a good date
That tonight’s gonna be a good good date


Tonight’s the night
Go live it up
Go get your date
And spend it up
Go out and enjoy it
Like Oh My G-d
Jump off that sofa
And pick her up!

We know that you’ll have a ball
If you get down
And go out
And just lose it all
If you feel stressed out
Then just let it go
Because going out
Is like losing all control

Go out with her

Mazel tov
Admire her chain
Just take in it all
Lets hit this lounge
We’ll drink it down
Talk JIFS or FISH
And then we’ll do it again (another date)

Lets do it (x4)
And do it (2x)
Let’s date it up
And do it (3x)
Do it, do it
Lets do it(3x)  (I think that means 12 dates)

Cause I gotta feeling… (WoooHooo)
That tonight’s gonna be a good date
That tonight’s gonna be a good date
That tonight’s gonna be a good good date

I gotta feeling… (WoooHooo)
That tonight’s gonna be a good date
That tonight’s gonna be a good date
That tonight’s gonna be a good good date

I gotta feeling
Tonight’s the night (HEY! )
Let’s chat it up (lets live it up)
I got her drink (I’m paid)
She’ll sip it up (Lets spend it up)
Go out and have some fun (some coffee)
Like Oh My G-d (Like Oh My G-d)
Jump out that chair (Come On!)
Lets kick it OFF

Fill up my cup (Drank) (I think it’s so good, we need a refill)
Mazel tov (La chaim) (hmm, whats in that cup again?)
Look at her talking (Talk it, Talk it)
Just take it… SLOW
Lets rock the lounge (or paint the town)
Go on the town (let’s go)
Lets talk and walk (Woooooo)
And then we’ll do it again

Lets do it (x4)
And do it (2x)
Let’s live it up
And do it (3x)
Do it, do it
Lets do it(3x)
Do it, do it, do it, do it


Here we come
Here we go
I got a date
Easy come
Easy go
Always, we never stop
Feel the shot
Dating shock
A shock that don’t stop
Round and round
Up and down
Around the clock

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
Friday, Motzie Shabbos
Motzie Shabbos to Sunday

Get, get, get, get, get with her
You know what we say (say)
Date everyday (x2)

I gotta feeling (WooHooo)
That tonight’s gonna be a good date
That tonight’s gonna be a good date
That tonight’s gonna be a good good date

I gotta feeling (WooHooo)
That tonight’s gonna be a good date
That tonight’s gonna be a good date
That tonight’s gonna be a good good date

Woohoo

  2. Wouldn’t have expected Black Eyed Peas to be linked from this blog but I guess you never know. Someone want to write an alternate version of Fergalicious for the girls to sing?

  3. There’s some refreshing optimism! (Unless this is meant to be sarcastic?)

  5. too easy. (although ‘paint the town’ may be an inappropriate allusion on your blog)

  6. I don’t know anything about Black Eyed Peas, but there’s a good reason I didn’t link to the music video for the song. And I think I will strongly request that only songs from musicals be used in the future. However, independent of the video, it’s not too bad.

    “Paint the town” may not be appropriate behavior for a date or a bas melech, but it’s not actually halachically wrong, unless you take it literally, in which case any loss you cause to the owners who will have to repaint their facades you’d probably have to repay. My impression (and google supports me) is that it just means to have a lot of reckless, brainless, fun.

  7. Bad4 – I just started a new blog and credited you for some of my inspiration. You run a fine operation here – I’m unlikely to marry you, but It’s nice to know that there are other frum engineering students in a similar position to me.

    If you wish to contact me my email is 6527893 [@] gmail.com. You also have my username/URL.

    Thanks!

  9. Our friends told us that at their friends’ wedding, they were going to be walking in to that tune. The Black Eyed Peas were actually in the same hotel, heard their music playing at a wedding, and came in and offered to sing for a minute. The wedding planner didn’t know who they were and asked them kindly to leave. :)
