KNOCK THREE TIMES

Boy it sure is amazing what some people thing makes for a good song. I was listening to this radio station the other day that likes to play older songs and this one came on where part of the words included “knock three times.”

It was okay I guess. The tune was kind of catchy, but I’m not that convinced the words were that great.

I got to ask from my point of view here if this really didn’t have a lot to do with somebody that was hard of hearing. Heck if you go to knock three times that tells me the person inside the dang house is probably not home or can hear from some reason.

Plus what happens if they have a door bell? Is your broke or something so you can knock, but can push a buzzer?

How come I’m the only one that seems to be able to figure that kind of stuff out? It doesn’t seem that tough.

But I guess it was too much for that dude who wrote the song to know. About half way through I want to slap him up the side of the head and ask “Hey moron, can’t you just pick up a stupid phone and call this person?”

That sure would save the wear and tear on your knuckles if you ask me. Which obvious they didn’t.

Nope I think they need to redo that song and make it more modern. Something like email mail we twice and phone me once.

Or perhaps, give me a break and answer the doorbell clown or next time I throw a stupid rock through your darn window! Yeah I bet that would do it.

Back I guess back in the old days when they wrote that song perhaps they didn’t have a way of figuring that part out. At least we can feel cool we can think better these days huh?

It is too bad though. I think of you know all those poor folks who probably listened to the song and never got it. The poor slobs probably spent forever at somebody house knock three times and all that crap.

Perhaps I’ll give some thought to helping people out by writing my own version of that song for today’s more enlightened audience. Yep, it seems like the least I could do.

All I have to do is decide the rest of the words. Like maybe “Knock three times if you are dumb and stupid and don’t have a cell phone. Or knock three times only after you’ve checked your emails to see if I’ve answered your emails.” Yeah, it seems like it would sure work better than that old song. Now all I have to do is find a song publisher with the ability to appreciate my talent for its real worth.

Thought for the week: "What's the deal with that groundhog seeing his shadow and knowing how long winter is? I bet he secretly has cable and the weather channel."
