umc Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Well this isn't my song but one that a MiGO member put together for us. Its very cool and Banjo Jim did one heck of a job singing it while playing his banjo at our winter social event. Cache on the Bayou by RetroJohn and Banjo-Jim to the tune of Hank Williams’ “Jambalai” 1. Good bye, Sue; good bye, Joe, MiGO, MiGO; Me gotta go hide the cache by the bayou. Get a fix, get a lock on the satellites-o: Son of a gun, they’ll never find Cache on the Bayou! Chorus: Well, GPS and Geocache and ammo boxes; Full of stuff, full of junk hid in the rockses. Hide it high, hide it low, MiGO, MiGO; Son of a gun, they’ll never find Cache on the Bayou! 2. Tonka toys, Barbie dolls and lots of key chains; Some old rings and lots of things no one wantses; A ping pong gun, a Pokemon and a golf ball: Son of a gun, who’d want to find Cache on the Bayou? 3. Pseudonyms like Keystone Two and Evileye-O; ABX Guy, Zuckerruebensirrup and a-prohpet-Dino; TSD team TSA at M I G O Son of a gun, they’ll never find Cache on the Bayou! 4. Rusty, Libby, Cache Campers Cows and Frito- Feet, U M C, Gvnagei and Bosco. Doc Ott, Eight Legs, Rosemont Team and ol' Torgo; Son of a gun, they’ll never find Cache on the Bayou! 5.

"Hold Out Your Hand" You can feel it coming with the morning light And you know the feelings, gonna make you feel Alright Almost close enough to, Hold out your hand Span the distance, Store resistance, To attack is to retreat All you've got to do is Hold out your hand For the treasures of the Universe are lying at your feet. You can hide it, lose it, but it's always found. You can laugh it off, but it always comes, Back on you, so true. True is true enough to Hold out your hand. Forward motion Life promotion To reverse is to repeat All you've got to do is Hold out your hand For the treasures of the Universe are lying at your feet. Hold out your hand Span the distance Store resistance To attack is to retreat. Almost close enough to Hold out your hand For the treasures of the Universe are lying at your feet.

The devil went down to Georgia He was looking for a can to find He was ready to squeal, and make a deal To get him out of that bind When he came across this young man Had a Legend and playing it hot And the devil jumped up on a hickory stump And said, "Boy, let me tell you what" I guess you didn't know it But I'm a geocacher too And if you'd care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you Now you read a pretty good Legend boy, But give the devil his due I bet a Garmin of gold against your soul Cause I think I'm better than you The boy said "My name's Johnny And it might be a sin But I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret Cause I'm the best that's ever been" Johnny charge those batteries, And work that Legend hard Cause hell's broke loose in Georgia And the devil deals the cards And if you win You get this shiny Garmin made of gold But if you lose, the devil gets your soul The devil grabbed his GPS And he said "I'll start this game" And fire flew from his fingertips as his Maggie showed the way As he made his way across that screen It made an awful sound Then a band of demons joined in Told him "geo" just means ground When the devil finished Johnny said.

Cache is on the mountain, run boy run Devil’s on the run with a Magellan Cacher in the mud now, stubbin’ his toe It’s hidden in the stump boy, don’t you know?

+Planet Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 OK, speaking of insomniacs, I woke up way too early this morning and decided to peek at the forums. It's too early to write any songs, but I thought I'd Markwell you to The Geocaching Christmas Carols written last year. Maybe later I'll think one up but I pretty much drained the brain for songs last year. Now, I'm going back to bed. Cache you later, Planet So many caches, so little time. Quote Link to comment

+Tsegi Mike and Desert Viking Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Clearly the heat got to my head today. I apologize in advance for this. sung to the tune of Gilligan's Island theme song (now stuck in your head for days) Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale, A tale of a caching trip That started from this website, With an etrex on my hip. Desert Viking was a thinking girl Tsegi Mike tough and sure, Nine caches they set out to find In a three hour tour. A three hour tour The weather started getting hot, The cheap batteries died. If not for the convenience of a Walgreen’s, No caches they would find No caches they would find. The caches abound in the shrubs of these Common city parks With Freestone Lake, Hummingbird, Roadrunners’Revenge Net Serve, Put Me In Coach, Hidden Meadows Around the Bend, Here in my city’s parks! So this is the tale of our caching trip, We’re out for a long, long time We’ll have to make a trade of things, And not forget to sign. Desert Viking and Tsegi Mike Will do their very best, To find the other caches, Out in the heated west. No phone! No maps! No extra hints! Not a single luxury, Like a bunch of new tourists, we’re as lost as can be. So join us here each week my friends, You're sure to get a smile, From two desert geocachers, On geocaching dot com.

weRlostNDwoods Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Well here goes... sung to the tune of Jimmy Buffetts changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes"sorry Jimmy" I took off for a weekend last month Just to try and find the right spot. Almost gave up, went back to my pick-up, it was just too doggone hot. I didn't sit in my Dodge for too long, I was itching from all the bug bites. I jumped out yelling, threw down my magellan, Caching is no good at nights. It's those changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes nothing remains quite the same. With all the caches, and all of the rashes, If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane. Reading my hints in the midst of a forest, Reminds me of the places I've been Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure Makes me want to go find them again. If my GPS should die tomorrow, I could somehow adjust to the fall I'll use a compass, try not to trespass Won't stop 'till I find 'em all Chorus: These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes Nothing remains quite the same Through all of the scratches, and all of the brair patches, If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane I think about caching, while I'm out driving I wish I could jump off the main road. So many treasures, so little pleasures God I wish I was caching again Oh, yesterday's over my shoulder So I can't look back for too long There's just too much to find, to sit here and whine, So now I'll will end this dumb song. With these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes Nothing remains quite the same With all of the caches, and all of the rashes, If I couldn't laugh I just would go insane If we couldn't laugh we just would go insane If we weren't all caching we would go insane. Inspired by Icehouse and too much time! A journey of a thousand miles begins with a cache. Quote Link to comment
