Rock On, Indeed...

I'm a big fan of Dan Kennedy's work, from his McSweeney's pieces , to his books.

For his latest book, Rock On (which I just linked to), he ran a contest to see who can write the best Office Power Ballads (you read that correctly).

I was one of the winners. Here is my entry (ignore fact my dog is named Stew) -

No One Like Stew
(To the tune of The Scorpions' No One Like You)

Man, its been a long time that we’ve been cube mates
I remember whenyou were a temp
And I made you fetch me coffee

Dude, nine to five aint no way to live life
Boring work, lousy pay,fluorescent lights,
Having one confidante is the key

There’s no one like Stew
I can’t wait for the days with Stew
‘Specially now that they fired ‘drew
Even filing is fun with Stew

No one like Stew
I can’t wait for the days with Stew
‘Specially now that they fired ‘drew
Even filing is fun with Stew

Bro, remember when your computer froze up
And they blocked us fromviewing some sites
My laughter could not be restrained

Oooh, Stew, if you ever decide to move on
You’ve got to give me aone-month heads-up
There’s no way that I’m gonna stay

There’s no one like Stew
I can’t wait for the days with Stew
‘Specially now that they fired ‘drew
Even filing is fun with Stew

No one like Stew
I can’t wait for the days with Stew
‘Specially now that they fired ‘drew
Even filing is fun with Stew

No one like Stew.
