What If #Cartoons Got Saved? ... Song Lyrics from idle thoughts, by #ChrisRice | @getFANDOM @YourDictionary @TVTropes @PoemOfQuotes @Wikipedia @ParamountPlus

A traumatic brain-injury survivor, I go to a yearly retreat with several fellow survivors. At that retreat, we are given a chance to perform at a talent-show. One of my fellow survivors--now departed--performed a lip-sync of a song entitled "Cartoons (What If Cartoons Got Saved?)."

I think he helped inspire me to recover better so that I could go up and do my own performances (many of which I've probably posted about on this blog). I know I probably shouldn't do 'his' song at the same retreat, but I would like to lip-sync in his honor at another yearly/quarterly retreat I go to.

The word “Cartoons” is built on ancient words that mean "strong, heavy Paper, Pasteboard (the |Parchment upon which artists did their preliminary Sketches ... see |Carton, -oon)."

We could get into the theology of it--how 'being saved' is a lot more than 'singing your version of "Hallelujah",' how Beavis & "that other guy" are just as 'saved' as the rest of them, etc.--later ... first I feel like I should learn the lyrics (I know I could just fake my way through (mouthing 'wa-ter-mel-on' over-&-over), but ... I'm from a family of accountants; I feel the need to 'do things right!') ...

… Do it

… I was thinkin' the other day
What if cartoons got saved?
They'd start singing praise
In a whole new way

… Yeah, I was thinkin' the other day
What if cartoons got saved?
They'd start singing praise
In a whole new way
(Yeah, Yeah, here's what I mean)

… Fred and Wilma Flintstone
Sing "Yabba-dabba-do-yah" ("Yabba-dabba-do-yah")
Scooby-doo and Shaggy
"Scooby-dooby-doo-yah" ("Scooby-dooby-doo-yah")
And the Jetsons' dog named Astro
"Rough-ray-roo-yah"

… 'Cause I was thinkin' the other day
What if cartoons got saved?
They'd start singing praise
In a whole new way, Yeah, Yeah

… Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
"Cowabunga-loo-yah, Dude"
Then there's, "Kermit the Frog here, singing
High-ho-le-loo-yah"
And that little bald guy, Elmer Fudd
"How-ay-woo-yah"

… 'Cause I was thinkin' the other day
What if cartoons got saved?
They'd start singing praise
In a whole new way

… Oh that big old moose and his friend Rocky
"Bullwinkle-loo-yah"
And our favorite bear named Yogi
"Hey, Boo-Boo-loo-ya"
Then there's all those little blue guys
And they'd sing, "Hah-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lay-loo-yah"
How about Beavis and that other guy?
"Nah"

… Now, there's a point to this looney-tune
I'm not an Anamaniac
But there's a lot of praisin' to do
And cartoons weren't made for that
It''s our God, Yeah, Yeah
So, let's sing hallelujah

… All the guys sing with me, here we go
Hallelujah
Ladies echo
Hallelujah
Let me hear you, men
Hallelujah
Girls
Hallelujah
"Yabba-dabba-do-yah" ("Yabba-dabba-do-yah")
"Scooby-dooby-doo-yah" ("Scooby-dooby-doo-yah")
"Rough-ray-roo-yah" ("Rough-ray-roo-yah")

I thought I'd already 'done' #Hallelujah, but ... here it is

The word "Hallelujah" is from the Hebrew for "Praise the LORD (Yahweh/Jehovah ... the first element having a primary sense of "to |Trill")."

#Alleluia
