To: Kevin Costner, From:Bryan Adams...in a roundabout way...with love
Dear Mr. Costner,
It's been several days since we first began our quest to get you to look at our humble blog and take a picture of yourself viewing it. Despite the lack of a speedy response we are not deterred. We know you are a busy man so we will continue to lobby for your attention. However, this time we're going to attempt to woo you via a song...a song Bryan Adams made hugely popular as the love theme to your 1991 summer blockbuster, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, a film in which you outacted heavyweights such as Morgan Freeman, Alan Rickman, and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio.
In any case, we adapted the lyrics to the Bryan Adams smash hit "(Everything I Do), I Do It For You" to fit our situation, admittedly we got a little lazy towards the end. We ask that you now take out your copy of the Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves Soundtrack and go to track 9, just before Jeff Lynne's "Wild Times", but after "The Abduction and the Final Battle at the Gallows" and please sing along at home. Hopefully, after singing along with this heartfelt rendition you will be moved to take a picture of yourself looking at our blog and send the picture to us. Without further ado, our adaptation of "(Everything I Do), I Do It For You":
Please look at our blog - you will see
We're fans of your movies
Search yahoo - search google
And when you find us here you'll know what to do
Don't say no, we cried at Field of Dreams
You can't say no, we'll fall apart at the seams
You know it's true
Everything we do - we do it for a picture of you looking at our blog (you have to sing this part fast)
Look into our blog - you will find
You're in our hearts and minds
Take a polaroid - take it twice
Even an e-mailed j-peg would suffice
Don't tell us it's not worth bloggin' for
We can't help it - there's nothin' we want more
Ya know it's true
Everything we do - We do it for a photo of you
There's no blog - like our blog
And no other - could give more love
This blog's nowhere - unless you care
All the time - all the way
(Guitar solo)
Oh - you can't tell us it's not worth bloggin' for
We can't help it - there's nothin' we want more
We would fight for you - We'd lie for you (well maybe not lie)
Rent a domain name for you - ya we'd die for you (ok maybe not die either but we're serious nonetheless)
Ya know it's true
Everything we do - we do it for a picture of you
(more guitar solo and vocal meanderings, at least in the version I have)
FIN
(lyrics by B.Adams/E.Kessler/A.Morton)
We hope our gift of song has warmed the cockles of your heart and influenced your decision to take a picture of yourself looking at our blog, in a positive manner. Thank you for your time and consideration. Please don't make us beg or record our own a capella rendering of this song to convince you. Nobody wants to hear us sing, trust us.
