Annie's Song

At my sister's wedding, my brothers and I failed to give a toast or say anything at the dinner, so we came up with a little song at the brunch the following morning.



Here's the direct link. And here's a link to the original in case you've never heard it.

We'll be making millions on iTunes in no time. (And then we'll be sued by John Denver's estate...)

Lyrics to the last verse:

You fill up Thomas's senses
Like a night in the French Quarter
Like the Thousand Hills of Kirksville
Like the Journal Printing Building
Like the Depot in La Plata
Like a storm in the Sunken Garden
Like that one place in Paris
Where Thomas proposed

The Explanation:

Like a night in the French Quarter
They're going to New Orleans for the honeymoon.

Like the Thousand Hills of Kirksville
There's a state park near Kirksville called Thousand Hills State Park.

Like the Journal Printing Building
The wedding was held at a banquet hall that was previously a print shop called the Journal Printing Building.

Like the Depot in La Plata
The hotel they stayed at the night of the wedding was called The Depot Inn, in a nearby town called La Plata.

Like a storm in the Sunken Garden
The wedding was supposed to be held at the Sunken Garden at the university, but due to inclement weather it was moved to the banquet hall which was previously scheduled for only the reception.

Like that one place in Paris where Thomas proposed
Fairly self explanatory.
