The Lyrics
One last "thank you" to her who created, and added, so much of tomorrow's biggie; came up with better subs; caught many of my glitches (they *do* happen); and without whose support and cyber-companionship, I would never even have considered tackling, much less have finished, this monster.
Waaay under-rated, under-played, beautifully-voiced OS. Don't take TT's word for it -- Original video here.

You're my girl; you're ev'ry song I write
You're my girl; you're ev'ry bit I byte [1]
Other LAMBs see the scars of shepherds' plies [2]
But for me: entwined, we'll win the prize
See TT reach for a pun so poor
Come to his beach for the sun, and more! ;)
With your wit wrestling with mine
It's such a pow- ... -erful ... combine!
You're my girl; you are my night-ingale
You're my girl, whose sheer delight .. I hail
If our pair ceases to be
There'd not portend oth-er pair for me!
[Interlude -- turtle on piano, flippered though he be; fidlle on, well ... violin. The actual interlude duet is *very* pretty in OS -- *really*... Oh, go ahead, click the video -- it'll cost you a whopping 2 minutes 57 seconds of your time. Money-back guarantee.]
With your mind grappling with mine
Sometimes, each oth- ... -er, we ... malign!
You're my girl; you are my blight; dismay
You're my girl, spite ev'rything I say
If our team ceases to be
Then it's the end of the pair ....
No other pair...
No more of AIR ... for ... me!
[1] A little geek pun: one "byte" = 8 "bits" (Binary digITs, or is it BInary digiTs?) of data, 0 or 1
[2] A little private joke: FG = Liberal Arts Major, Bi-degreed (TT's impressed! He's not even pe-digreed!)
Gotta love that change from minor key to major partway through -- changes the whole tone, and makes for an exuberant ending. Go ahead, tell me that wasn't worth 2 minutes 57 seconds....

I did remember this OS but went back to listen. Very sweet, TT. Excellent job catching the feel of the song with your write.
Touching Tribute to Favorite Girl
Lettin' it all hang out there with this one Tommy!...Great over-the top OS (checked out your link) and touching TTribute any girl'd be proud to receive...
*sniff* *sniff* Awww, ya big lug! 555 :'-)
How very, very sweet! [Fights? What fights?] ;)
Beautiful OS, and a beautiful tribute to a great writer. (And no, I didn't think it was about me. Not for one nanosecond.) I hope more good parodies come out of this partnership, and 5s to you.
Timmy1000: Quite a compliment, to have captured such a beautiful OS. Thanks much.
blackjack21: Of many of us, I'm sure. Thanks much. (and clever caps/acronyming there! :D)
TJC: I *tried* to keep part of it in my shell, but it kept hanging out... j/k. Thanks for kind v/c.
metaphorsbwithu: The reason that turtles have such hard shells is that they're such softies inside.... thanks for v/c :D
Fiddlegirl: Huh? I don't remember any fights... heartfelt thanks for comment to heartfelt tribute.
Andria: Thank you very much. Might need a little break after all of the work that went into this one (you'll see, I hope), but I certainly hope for more, as well. Thanks for v/c.
