Heat 

Sweltering summer heat 
Indigo sky, 
Sweat glistening in the moonlight 
I need a cool high 
To ease the tension 
But I lost my connection, 
Baby said goodbye. 
Night turns into day 
Sun is blazing, 
Sitting here melting my soul away. 
No use gazing 
Down that dusty street, 
No one there to meet. 
Baby's out chasing 
A new beat. 

Heat 
I'm wavering in the flow, 
Got nowhere to go, 
Baby's gone 
I'm alone, 
Left me crying 
Frying, in the heat. 

Night falls like a stone 
Black as Hades, 
I'm cooked through to the bone 
I need my Baby's 
Windy smile to cool me 
His icy wiles to fool me 
But Baby's doing me wrong. 
He's gone 
Left me crying 
Frying, dying, 
(Death would be sweet) 
In the heat.

Lyrics:  Heat
Author: Mila Daniel
 

Judges Comments:
 
These lyrics are "hot", pardon the pun, because of the effective use of the play between the senses and lost love. Mila uses physical duress to portray mental anguish. This is much easier to read than the usual hurting love song. I hear this with sort of a jazz sound. Female vocal set against melodic and rhythmic back ground. An accentuated, very expressive vocal style would work nicely. 
 

Very good, Mila Daniel, let us hear more, please.

 Fried Pork, Fried Pork 

No Orthodox Jews 
Will want our special today 
But you should make the most of it 
Fried Pork, Fried Pork 
And you get to choose 
Fried rice or lomain 
Wait til you get a taste of it! 
Fried Pork, Fried Pork, 
You can get take out or eat it in with us, 
It's just as cheap! 
And you can 
Eat til you're filled 
Eat all you can 
We've got a buffet 
That'd please Charlie Chan! 
(KEY CHANGE!) 
We even sell booze! 
Drink Tsing Tao for days! 
It compliments the taste of it 
Fried Pork, Fried Pork 
If you don't eat it here 
It's not Fried Pork I fear 
It's just for you, 
Fried Pork, Fried Pork!!!

Judges Comments:
 
I love this contest! Each person has a different twist on life and here is the place to show it. Wouldn't it have been fun to hear the old crooner do this one. Mary, you nailed it! It is sometimes harder than you might think to match up lyrics with existing music. I really enjoyed the use of ethnic emphasis and found it wildly appropriate for the venue and city. Bravo! 
 

Good one  Mary K., how about some more?
