I’m writing a parody of “We Didn’t Start the Fire” that’s about the history of Newfoundland and Labrador.
It’s quite a daunting creative assignment but, by da Jesus, I’m up to the challenge. Feel free to pitch ideas for lyrical content and we’ll have ourselves a grand ol’ brainstorming session.
I’m looking for a comprehensive mix of people, places, and things to weave together like a musical patchwork quilt of this province’s illustrious and tumultuous history. I’m also challenging myself to put all these rapid-fire name-drops in chronological order, give them a smooth syllabic flow, and make them rhyme as cleverly as possible.
So, with all of that in mind, fire away, ol’ trouts. First fella to come up with a word that rhymes with ‘moratorium’ gets a free case of Black Horse beer next time I sees you or your fadder.
