[CN: Audio link with smut­ty lyrics—not explic­it­ly NSFW con­tent, but if your boss or kids is lis­ten­ing close, there’s enough innu­en­do that they might clutch their pearls.]

So while I’ve been recov­er­ing from can­cer, it’s been hard to kind of focus my writ­ing ener­gy and atten­tion on dead­lines and blog posts about dia­logue, dra­mat­ic pac­ing, or gram­mar, but I’ve not been with­out my cre­ative out­lets. There’s been plen­ty of writ­ing in more free flow forms, includ­ing help­ing Rhap­sody write some of her smut­ty and fun­ny songs. Like this gem we col­lab­o­rat­ed on about a cer­tain gen­er­ous­ly-mus­tached plumber:

I know it’s not the usu­al fare I serve here at Writ­ing About Writ­ing, but I thought I would share because I like to make ALL my writ­ing acces­si­ble from one place (here), as well as show folks fol­low­ing my career in real time that even though “fin­ish your shit” is some spec­tac­u­lar advice, some­times it’s reju­ve­nat­ing (and fun—remember FUN?) to take a break and work on anoth­er project for a lit­tle while.

Lyrics:

I’m down with the free mush­rooms
The flower power’s kin­da hot
Your fist­ing skills are leg­endary
I’ve been giv­ing this some thought

She’s always in anoth­er
castle’s dun­geon and there­fore…
Your over­alls would look bet­ter
In a pile on my floor

Bro, face facts, it’s more open than you think
It’s been forty years she’s got a kid­nap­ping kink.
I wan­na take that mus­tache for a ride
Have you check my plumb­ing deep inside

Oh Mario
Pow­er down into meeee

You could wear just cap­py
or that fur­ry rac­coon suit
Invite your friends, I’m into it
—Toad­ette is kin­da cute

I want to hear that pow­er up noise
As you lay pipe into me
Let’s emp­ty out those fire balls
Give in to ecstasy

I wan­na one up with you all day
And if you wan­na two up, ask Lui­gi to play
You can smash my box for your prize
Just say “it’s a‑me” when you come inside

Oh Mario
Pow­er down into meeee

Rail me while on your hot star pow­er
Douse me in your gold­en coin show­er
There’s a hid­den lev­el inside this hole
As I slide down every inch of your flag pole

Oh Mario
Pow­er down into meeee
Oh Mario
Pow­er down into meeee
Oh Mario‑o oh! OH!!!
Pow­er down into meeee
