"The Perfect Agent"Sung to ‘the Perfect Nanny’ from Marry PoppinsCreepy Query Girl
[Spoken]
Wanted: an agent for one adorable writer
[Sung]
If you want this choice position
Have a cheesy disposition (it’ll help you enjoy this song…)
Rosy cheeks, no warts. (or as few as possible)
Read blogs, all sorts
You must be smart and somewhat gritty,
fairly sweet and very witty
Send my ms on outings, give it 'tweets',
sing songs, eat sweets
Never be cross or cruel
Never give my ms castor oil or gruel (who does that?)
Love it as son and daughter
And never stink of barley water (what the hell is barley water?)
If you won't scold and dominate us,
we will never give you cause to hate us.
We won't copy plots from best selling blue rays
write clichés, or explicit sex in YA,
Oh- Hurry, Agent!
This means the world,
Sincerely,
Creepy. Query. Girl.
Oh yes. She totally did sing it too...

Thanks SO much for your help with the vid! lol
I love this. I'll be humming it all day!
Holy Cow, I love this! Mary Poppins is the best. I'm massively impressed with the singing!
Is that you singing?!! Awesome. Beautiful voice. And very funny. :)
Maybe I should put out an ad, too.
Wow! This was great, I loved it!
This was so awesome - good job!!!
Fantastic! I was happily singing along - love it! :)
Very funny! I need a Fairy God Agent. Maybe I should sing this song. :)
*gigglesnort*
Oh, this was fabulous! Delusional Thursday-worthy!
I have an award for you at my blog!
Totally cute! Hope your agents comes quickly with a carpet bag!
I'm going to be singing this song everytime I send out a query . . . and everytime I check my inbox. :D
You're brilliant, Creepy!
Wow that was awesome Kd!!
Aaand, you could definetly try a career at singing too! I mean what a good voice girl! Huzzah for you my friend, huzza!
Please fairy god agent, come to us!
Love, love, love this!
I think barley water is indicative of beer...or something like that. :)
hahhahha I LOVE this its perfect!!!1!!
Thanks for listening guys! I'm sorry it's so SLOW! I haven't played guitar in years and had to wait for my hands to catch up!lol
Aww! This is such a cute idea! I love your song, but now it's going to be stuck in my head all day. And I'm sure your agent would be relieved that you don't write explicit sex in YA. :P
This is AMAZING!!! Thank you for making my week!
You have a really good voice!! Very Mary Poppin-ish! So cute!
Wonderful! *Applause* I'm at work so I can't listen to you sing it but I totally loved the lyrics. Great job! :o)
Good timing. Last week when I subbed, the class watched "Mary Poppins", so I can hear the tune.
No cliches - gotta watch out for those. Like a hawk.
That was great! I'm going to be singing that all day now.lol.
Barley water (since you asked) is a soft drink made from, well, I think it's mainly barley and water. It's a bit lemony in the versions i've had that you dilute.
A lelderly people drink it, although I am going on my grandparents here:)
Hahaha! That's hilarious - I love it! LOL!
To reinforce the comments above on barley water (or as I almost typed it, barely water), it is non-alchoholic, not particularly tasty, and generaly indicative of the 1950s in Britain. Should you feel an overwhelming urge to try some, I believe Robinsons make a version.
Too funny!
Don't forget to look for Fairy God Publisher, either.
That's awesome! And, hey, a second career in music can't be far behind.
Perfect! Inspired! So Creative!
Kudo's a plenty!!
fun stuff--and fun blog! I too feel like I've gone a little query-crazy since Jan. 2010. Good luck w/your search~
...and she can sing!!!
I was just pasting the URL of this blog into my blogroll- clicked to see what was new and boy did you just earn that link in spades...
I am tweeting this immediately!
You. Are. So. Cool.
This is adorable!
I've got the Versatile Blogger Award for you over at my blog, as I always enjoy your posts :-)
you are a LEGEND! that was fantastic! loved it :)
you ROCK!!!!
YOU GUYS rock! Thanks for listening and for the comps:) Stu & Lindsey- Thanks for the clarifications about barley water. It sounded dirty but now I know better...:)
The blogs are alive with the sound of music!!!
With songs they have sung for a thousand years..
The blogs fill my heart with the sound of muzaak
My MS wants to stalk every agent it finds...!!
:-)
Take care
x
and here my husband's guess that barley water was a reference somehow to beer...wow, you learn something new every day!
OMG you're brilliant. Someone sign her!
THAT was TOO perfect! LOL I loved it! You're a lovely singer too, btw.
Heheheh... That was supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Have you tried writing and ripping up a letter with this song on it, and sticking the pieces in your chimney's updraft? ; j
You are brilliant. All kinds of Brilliant. I was laughing so hard when I was reading it....and then you sang it. AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME!
I want to sing your praises like crazy girl! (except no one would want me to because my voice is horrific....)
Ooooo I can't see the vid while at work, I'm soo checking it out when I get home *grin* good on you!
Late to the party today, but that was brilliant! *applause*
NICE!!!
Clever, very clever.
I love this! And what is barley water anyway? Yuck! I'm so impressed with your singing and songwriting skills - surely the fairy agents will take notice!
C.Q.G you seriously out did yourself! Sorry it's taken me so long to get here, you're normally the first one I visit each morning, but the video doesn't play at work so I had to wait until my day off!
Great lyrics, haha... and awesome singing, damn girl you have a great voice! I loved it... ENCORE, ENCORE
Brilliant and brave. I wish I could play the guitar. At this point, I might be tempted to take an evil stepmother agent, but fairy god agent sounds better.
Great song, CQG!
Pretty voice!! and hilarious/awesome/genius song!!!!!!!
hahahaha
Omigosh Katie, that is just AWESOME!
ROFL!! You are so cute!! ;)
LOL! I love this. 'If you want this choice position, have a cheesy disposition.." That is going to be in head all day now! Ah Julie Andrews you rock! Great post. ;)
You are HILARIOUS. If I were an agent I'd represent you just for that!
Hey, Creepy Query Girl, just letting you know that you won an award over at my blog, so check that out! :D
This was awesome.
I always thought "barley water" was a reference to beer. I could be wrong. I've never looked it up, and I'm not going to.
Okay, I probably will, but not tonight because I've already spent too much time thinking about it.
I love this, I think you have another creative side...You can sing!!! You clever gal~xXx
I am entirely impressed.
Now I'm wondering how long it took.
You've got a great sense of humor. ;)
A huge thanks to everyone who commented on this!! You guys are awesome!
You never cease to amaze CQG!! Could you be anymore creative? Thanks for the laugh and Damn girl! You can really sing!
