Carbon Leaf, Sort Of

(This is the first of three recently written parodies to commemorate Homecoming Monrovia '06. The subject matter? Loyal reader and occasional blogger Mike Nordberg. Future performances of the following song can be seen in Condon's future feature film: Tenacious C and the Pick of Parody. Enjoy.)

The Brother
Parody of "The Boxer"
Music by Carbon Leaf
Words by Chris Condon

Didn’t think it was possible - honestly
Til we learned of the whole - family tree
Not only is there Baby A - but Baby B
Even though Nordy choked him there’s

Long-lost kin
He is the Brother he knows
How to fit right in
He is the Brother, we know
That Nordberg has a twin

Closest one to the campus now - Chesapeake
Fixes submarines - a shipyard geek
He’d be set if his kayak had sprung a leak
Leatherman does the job…at work

Leaves his cube to crawl inside a tube
Mike Nordberg gets sleepy
Torpedo – WAKEY WAKEY

Long-lost kin
He is the Brother with the
Skills for volleyball
He is the Brother, he knows
One ring to rule them all

All’s crazy in the frat - at Lehigh
Michael’s at the wheel - driving by
Swiping giant Christmas trees - and street signs
Now he rolls with his crew in Dubai

Long-lost kin
He is the Brother, the yang
To Chris Nordberg’s yin
He is the Brother, he’s the
Keystone Monrovian
