Happy Birthday, Charles Henrickson!!!
Yes, today Charles hits the big Six-Oh! So I thought what better tribute to my DUmmie FUnnies "co-conspirator" than to present a medley of his best parody song hits. I will present my favorite, "Self-Recanted Evening," and you can do the same by doing an online search of the DUmmie FUnnies or other sites. I mention the latter because another great Henrickson hit was "E.L.C.A" based on "Y.M.C.A" which caused a bit of a controversy among his fellow Lutherans for being perhaps too irreverent. However, as I say, a person with no sense of humor confuses the irrelevant with the irreverent.
So I lead off with what I hope will be a looooooong list of Charles' top hits with "Self-Recanted Evening" which was an AMAZING feat since I requested of Charles to write up a parody song of the ever changing opinions of WILLIAM RIVERS PITT to the tune of "Some Enchanted Evening" from "South Pacific" and he came up with the complete parody within only a couple of hours.
So here goes:
SELF-RECANTED EVENING
Tune: "Some Enchanted Evening"
Self-recanted evening,
When you see the flip-flops,
You may see where Pitt stops
Across the DUmmieland.
And somehow you know,
You know even then,
That sometime you'll see him
Recant once again.
Self-aggrandized weaving,
Bloviating windbag,
Going where the wind blows,
Not knowing where to stand.
He'll write to the left--
That's left to go right--
Will's so busy dancing,
He can't sleep at night.
Who can explain Pitt?
Who can tell you why?
Will gives two versions,
Neither one can fly.
Some fantastic FReeping!
Someone may be laughing,
You may hear the laughing
Among the DUFU fans.
And night after night,
When we go to bed,
That sound is our laughter--
Will Pitt's in our thread!
Once we have DUFUed
Will Pitt's swing and miss,
Then he'll discover
He can't recant this!]
Was that a cosmic "wink" from You-Know-Who to wish Charles a happy birthday? You be the judge.
(And don't forget to post your favorite parody songs... It will be a trip down memory lane.)
Who will ever forget his first step into the national limelight with “Palm Beach Pokey”.
Cue up James Brown’s “I feel like a turned on sex machine,” on the turntable...
Played on radio stations all over the country...with no credit to the author.
Happy Birthday, Charles!
We appreciate your humor and your dedication to Jesus. May He grant you every blessing!
I sure did a HUGE double take when that happened.

There once was a Henrickson Chuckish
possessed of a wit most puckish;
Though some've tried to ban him;
yon haters can't stand him;
You'll find that he gives not a care.
Happy birthday, Charles!
I’ll have to look up the ELCA one, so my husband (LCMS pastor) will think my time on FR isn’t a total waste of time. lol
Felicitations on the celebration of your birth.
Happy BD Charles! And thanks for helping PJ with the Dummie Funnies!

Happy Birthday, Charles Henrickson!!!!!
HOORAY Charles! You made it!
So now I've got TWO birthday threads going!
Oh, the golden days of yore!
Those olden days before
My joints got all creaky,
My eyebrows went freaky,
My hair got all streaky--
Behold, the grays galore!
If truth is to be told,
My youth has turned to mold;
My doctor can't fix me,
The future afflicts me,
Today I turn SIXTY--
Now that sounds really old!

Happy Birthday...and many moooorrreee.
(to the tune of “the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” and the same bad rhymes...)
The legend lives on from the Freepers on down
with the Big Guy they call Charley Hendricks
He makes great songs from the current ones done
When the lyrics he needs are all reasoned...
Charles H makes the songs
all funny and so wrong
when we play the originals in our heads
They get better with booze
when we rerun the tunes
and we laugh in our Pjs in our beds!
He never gets tired
and he never gets mired
when the songs slip off of his thinking
and lyrics we won’t need
he provides them indeed
with the wreck of the songs he’ll be stealin’!’
