Song Parodies!

I am obsessed with many things. On the top of the list is music, and mystery, particularly the Nancy Drew variety. So what if they were put together??

Some employees at Her Interactive, the creators of the ever-amazing Nancy Drew games, wrote a parody of the viral song "Call Me Maybe", called "Call Me Nancy", or "Second Chance Me", after a feature in all of their games. Whenever Nancy makes a mistake, you get a game over sequence and are given a "second chance" to do things right.

This is one of my all time favorite videos, since "Call Me Maybe" is also one of my favorite current songs, and Nancy Drew is my all time favorite teen detective! So, this video got me inspired to write a parody of my own. This one is called "I'm Nancy and I know It"

Yeah, when you walk on by
You might see me, this little private eye
I’m walking my beat, down River Street
Never see defeat
This is how I roll
Togo the dog getting out of control
It’s Nancy with the knack for clues
I’m so sweet how could you suppose
That I’m sniffing out clues (x3)
Uh huh I solve crime
Yeah, I’m sniffing out clues (x3)
Uh huh I solve crime
When I walk to the crime scene
This is what I think
Someone out there is watching me
I got a magnifying glass and I ain’t afraid to use it
Use it Use it Use it
I’m Nancy and I know it
I’m Nancy and I know it

Yeah, I wasn't able to finish it. I ran out of creative lyric ideas. I didn't make a video of me singing it, because   I would have to change keys A LOT to be able to hit all of the notes, and it would be overall catastrophic. Plus, I can't get the rhythm right.

Feel free to finish these lyrics for me, and maybe even post your results, and/or sing it!
