Ode to Brooke: 27 Years of Joy

one of my friends plays the banjo. for my birthday, she sang me this song (to the tune of Obladi Oblada). i liked it. a lot.

Brooke it’s your birthday and I’m here to say we really like you in major way.

Even though you’re old now it’s OK we still sing to you on this special day.


27 years ago Brooke was born, grew up in small town Tennessee.

Little did her family know back then what a Mormon hipster she would be.


Indie rock, foreign films, neck scarves. Brooke loves all these things

Tell her she’s pretentious she’ll say go to hell. Honor James Mercer and the Broken Bells. If you’ve seen a film Brooke has seen twice, Talk of HIV adds a little spice.

Some say that the most important day falls in December or the month of May

But I think we can all agree it was the day Brooke came to be.
