Up early today and suddenly it hit me. The Linwood Fiedler story had a perfect song to use as a parody.

Sung to the Englebert Humperdink classic and one of my favorite songs.
Please Release Me!


Linwood Fiedler – hit the snow!
For he was sleeping – and let go.
He hit the Yukon with his chin
His dogs left - and Linwood walked on in.

I have found a deep respect
For musher’s who say – what the heck
And pick themselves up off their face
And walk in - to the next - checkpoint place.

(Linwood Fiedler hit the snow)
For he was napping-and let go
(He hit the Yukon with his chin)
His dogs left-and Linwood walked on in.

In the checkpoint Linwood said
I should have hung on to that sled
It hurts when you fall on your face
But that’s life-and I am- in a race
(In a race – In a race)

Ha, nice one MGFB! I don't know that song, but I like your parody.

hahaha great one!

Heidi: You don't know the song???? Really???
It's a 1966 song. My Aunt used to play the record all the time when I was a kid. It's still one of my favs.

Tangles: Sometimes a song just jumps out at ya.

Growing up our local radio continued to play these "hits" well into the 70s & 80s so it was familiar to me! Singing along with the new lyrics right now!
