Urkel's Brain (song)

I love Jesus first and foremost. I also enjoy a lot of classic television shows, particularly ones that remind me of Jesus. I can hardly think of a more Christlike character on television than Steve Urkel on "Family Matters". There is even an episode where Steve gets saved and gives his heart to The Lord! Of course, while that always brings a revolution in one's heart- and surely it did for Steve- he was still the prince of the geeks and nerds to so many. I can identify as one who's been called Urkel myself (and Irwin "Skippy" Handleman from "Family Ties", for that matter). I take both as compliments. Steve certainly had confidence and determination and I can definitely respect that. Laura came to respect it too eventually as she was finally won over by Urkel's charm, personality, morality and certainly brain.

(Proverbs 13:12)

I never meant to cause you any sorrow

I never meant to cause you any pain

I only wanted to spend time with (the) Winslow family

I only wanted to woo you

Laura with Steve Urkel's brain

Urkel's brain, Urkel's name

Urkel's brawn, Urkel's charm

Urkel's looks, Urkel's game

I know you want me (to leave you)

Wearing you down- Urkel's staying

All I ever wanted's to be your geek in armor

I always wanted to be more than just friends

Crazy for you! Could I steal you from another?

Don't feel the same? Our friendship never ends

All the same, you're my flame

Girl, you're sayin' Urkel's insane

Girl, I'm prayin' - Ride Love Train

I only want to be with you

Laura Lee, your royal pain

Harriette, Carl, Eddo 

Winslow- minds are changing

Richie, Rachel- shout out

Mom Estelle please, missing Judy

You take Stefan or Steve, girl

But though it seems (a) no-brainer, you'll find

Who loves you best- no contest

So yes- did I do that? Steve Urkel's saying

Girl, you're swaying (to) polka playing

(Has) Urkel changed or your heart changed?

Like Waldo and Maxine belong together

And 3J's on hand

Urkel's strange but rearranged

Your whole life- Want to see you

Happy- God blessed me! You'll

Wear Steve Urkel's ring!

Yemana's First Class (Barney Miller's Roll) (song)

Note: This is an older archive entry that I just thought was funny. :-)


This one I just had the idea for one day and just had to do it because it was too funny not to. This is another one of my favorite classic ‘70s rock tunes that even if your mama don’t dance and your daddy don’t rock and roll to- you’ll probably enjoy it. And it was just too fitting that I was able to fit one of my favorite characters’ names in from one of my recently newly engrossed in ‘70s sitcom favorites. (I’d known about the show but never really watched it until watching the first few seasons on DVD from the library. :-)) Even if I have to watch the show in a crumbling old building with questionable plumbing and a diverse group of wacky but hilarious and dedicated cops- Barney Miller keeps it all under control somehow and helps make it bearable. :-)

(Proverbs 15:30 seems to be about the only applicable Bible reference here- lol.)

Yemana’s first class
And the sergeant’s no-go, Wojo
Yemana gambles
And uh, Harris just rocks the clothes
Then Dietrich comes around
And it’s time to lay Fish down
Where’s Chano?
He’s off the roll

Well, in New York state
There’s a lot to fill the plate for them
If they’re out on a stake
For muggers-(they’re) homely dates as women
You know there’s more confusion
You know whenever Luger (just) comes on in
I’ll say it again

And it’s all because
Yemana’s coffee’s bad
And Wojciehowicz just rocks the boat
Yemana’s work-challenged
And uh, Harris just writes novels
What Dietrich knows abounds
And it’s time to go (to) the john
For Fish is old
He’s not dead though

They pile into 12th. precinct
And type up their reports
They often do without things
‘Cause they know NY’s so poor
They’re just about, uh, losing
Patience- wanna scream!
There’s a lot on these guys
Haul in the suspects
“You got one call, Longhair”
“Marty- you’re coming with me”
“And no bargain pleas”

And it’s all on Barn
Yemana’s right hand
Man to Barney Miller, you know
Carl Levitt wants a chance
And finally gets it down the road
What Dietrich knows abounds
And he’s tied with Harris now
There’s ol’ Wojo
He rocks the boat
What do you know?
He got sarge- yo!
Where do they go?
To Barney’s roll!
