A different type of 'success'

Post by funsongs » Wed Mar 11, 2015 12:03 pm

Around the Christmas holiday 2013, I posted this little ditty: as a small, fun-loving token of my appreciation to the friendly forums folks.
https://soundcloud.com/funsongs-1/taxi- ... d-1st-demo

True story: an old family friend happened to listen to this song, and took it a little too seriously.
Apparently he thought that I was using real taxi services-for-hire to get around, because I didn't own a car. So: having one he'd planned on selling anyway, and feeling sorry for me... what a tenderhearted fellow... gave me his big old Mercedes!! For real!!
Saying: "keep it or sell it and keep the cash."

Truly: the Lord works in mysterious & funny ways.
The two of us had quite a laugh over it all when I explained the true origin of the song. :lol:

Well: that's my success story, and I'm stickin' to it. :? 8-) :)
Cheers,
Peter R.

ed. I did sell the black '89 300 SE, and bought a small drum kit :? :shock: !!
it's all about priorities, ya know... ;)

That was a hoot! I could use a new car, I guess I'd better get writing some Christmas songs :) Thank you for giving me a laugh this morning " I ain't got no job, I live with my Mom " :lol: . My brother and I have a character we made up, by the name of "Bernard". Check out our cartoon website "Hoyboys.net". You'll find Bernard " Up In My Room " and many other cartoons.

Again, thanks for the laugh :lol:

Either that, or Santa Claus is real after all. OR you just pulled off the biggest scam of the year! Hahaha, regardless, congrats on the Benz!!
