Living in a Hangers Paradise

[gunner76]

Now if I can just Shug to make the video......

As I hike thu the forest where I hang my hammock gear
I take a look at my rig and realize my hammock is very plain
But that's just perfect for a hanger like me
You know, I shun fancy things like titanium
At 4:30 in the morning I'm getting ready to hike
Shug makes the coffee while Hickery snores... fool
And I've been hiking and a hanging so long that
Even Dutch thinks that my mind is gone
I'm a man of the trees, I'm into sleeping good
Got a hiking pole in my hand and a camera on the end
But if I finish my hike and you finish thine
Then tonight we're gonna hang out like it's 1999

We been spending most our lives
Living in an hammock paradise
I've fallen on my butt once or twice
Living in an hammock paradise
It's a lot of fun and no sacrifice
Living in an hammock paradise
We sell under quilts at discount price
Living in an hammock paradise

A local tenter heckle my rig last week
I just smiled at him and turned to continued with my hike
I really don't care, in fact I wish him well
'Cause I saw where he set up on that big pile of rocks
But I ain't never punched tenter even if he deserved it
An hanger with a 'tude? You know that's unheard of
I never wear cotton but I got a cool pillow
And my homies agree, I really look good in camo...fool
If you come to hang, you'll be asleep in seconds
We haven't had a bad night in over 30 years
But we ain't really quaint, so please don't point and stare
We're just technologically advanced

There's no tent, no heater, no RV
Not a single luxury
Like Robinson Crusoe
We can make our own gear

We been spending most our lives
Living in an hammock paradise
We're just plain and simple guys
Living in an hangers paradise
There's always time to share ideas
Living in an hangers paradise
We don't fight, we all play nice
Living in an hangers paradise

Hanging up the hammock, helping with the noobs
Attend a group hand on Monday, soon I'll attend another
Think you're rig is righteous? Think you're got it lighter ?

Well, I know I'm at least a ounce lighter than you are
I'm the hanger that the noobs wanna be like
On my thread injector creating some new gear
Its so good even Dutch cant wait to get some
So don't be vain and don't be whiny
Or else, my brother, I might have to get medieval on your heinie

We been spending most our lives
Living in an hangers paradise
We're all crazy bear burritos
Living in an hangers paradise
There's no tents or Winnebagos
Living in an hangers paradise
But you'd probably think it bites
Living in an hangers paradise

Heck, I'd rather hear him picking and singing it.

Had some free time this weekend I see .

Really though, very creative and I haven't heard the original in over a decade, but I could hear the beat and the way your lyrics fit in...good job.

Having had the pleasure of meeting Gunner once before, there's nothing in my life right now more awesome than the mental image I have of him dressed and with hair like Coolio rapping this song.

This might be one of the best days of my life since I joined HammockForums.

[FlyingFox]

That's brilliant even hummed along whilst reading!

Yup...my thread injector is in the repair shop getting an overhaul (just got word this PM that its done)

Gresh, you have my permission to not bow in my presence.

I bet I would look with hair like Coolio. Too bad I can't sing.

Gresh..congrats on the soon to be new dad. Will you teach you kid how to scamper thu the woods ?

[Gresh]

Won't have to teach him. It's inherent knowledge.

We Gresh's...we're scamper-ers.

[gunner76]

Won't have to teach him. It's inherent knowledge.

We Gresh's...we're scamper-ers.

In a couple of years there is going to a major increase of Bigfoot sightings in SC.

[Hangnam Style]

Hey, maybe you can help me come up with some lyrics for my user name.
Now if I can just come up with a tune... need something hooky. Any thoughts?

[Trambo]

I believe you are mistaken, even though you didn't name
who you thought the original was. Everyone else did though
and they are wrong also.

Great hammock song.
It can be edited a little and be hilarious.
Can I use this song? I will make a vid or something.

As for the original EVERYONE attributes it to Coolio.
Just plain wrong. Coolios biggest song was a remake.
The "original" is Player's Paradise by the great
Stevie Wonder. ............... BAM!

Puts Coolio into some perspective. I had always given
him credit incorrectly.
