Topic: "Until I Googled You"

I have been way too busy with work lately so I have not had time to keep up with recent postings. 

I intend to catch up in the next couple of days and read all the many new songs that have been posted.

Wow!  Lots of new stuff to enjoy . . .
Here is an upbeat little country/folk sort of song that I will record soon.

Until I Googled YouJames McCormick, April 17, 2008


I've [C]read about 10,000 books, [F]thought I knew it all.


The [C]finest universities have di-[G]plomas on my wall.


I've [C]tested deep hypotheses to dis-[F]cover what is true . . .


But my [G]education was [F]incomplete un-[G]til I [F]Googled [C]you!




Well, I [G]thought I was very smart, [F]thought I was so [C]wise.


[G]Thought I had it all figured out, [F]couldn't be sur-[G]prised.


But [G7]my [C]scholarly wisdom was [F]gone so very quick,


When I [G]typed your name in Google and [F]gave it a [G]little [C]click.


Good [F]golly gosh!Gee-whillackers![C]Great googley-goo!


I [F]got some really juicy hits, I [G]learned a thing or [G7]two!


Good [F]golly gosh!Gee-whillackers![C]Great googley-goo!


My [G]education was [F]incomplete un-[G]til I [F]Googled [C]you!




[C7]Un-[F]til I Googled you, un-[C]til I Googled you,


I [F]must have been so innocent, I [G]learned a thing or [G7]two! . . .


Un-[F]til I Googled you, un-[C]til I Googled you,


My [G]education was [F]incomplete un-[G]til I [F]Googled [C]you!



I've [C]studied ancient manuscripts, [F]peered through microscopes


[C]Recombined DNA and iso-[G]lated isotopes


I've [C]mastered Quantum Physics, [F]atoms and molecules


But my [G]research seems ir-[F]relevant [G]since I [F]Googled [C]you!


[G]Suddenly my intellectual [F]prowess is ka-[C]put


[G]Suddenly something very [F]primal is a-[G]foot


[G7]Im-[C]agination overdrive, [F]pulse through the roof


[G]Suddenly I'm very bored with [F]Scien-[G]tific [C]proof!


Good [F]golly gosh!Gee-whillackers![C]Great googley-goo!


I [F]got some really juicy hits, I [G]learned a thing or [G7]two!


Good [F]golly gosh!Gee-whillackers![C]Great googley-goo!


My [G]education was [F]incomplete un-[G]til I [F]Googled [C]you!


[C7]Un-[F]til I Googled you, un-[C]til I Googled you,


I [F]must have been so innocent, I [G]learned a thing or [G7]two! . . .


Un-[F]til I Googled you, un-[C]til I Googled you,


My [G]education was [F]incomplete un-[G7]til I [F]Goo-[G]gled [C]you!

Re: "Until I Googled You"

Thanks, Ukulalay!  Glad you like it!

I just posted a 'raw & flawed' recording of 'Until I Googled You' to my "Songs for Human and Autoharp" page on MySpace Music:

Now, it's off to work . . .

Re: "Until I Googled You"

Welcome back James.

You, your songs and all the gems of info your brain contains were missed here.

Great song. Leave it to you  James, to write about such a modern phenomenon.

Well done.

Re: "Until I Googled You"

Hi James,

A great song and a fine recording. It inspired me to 'Google' my name and I found a couple of items of interest:

Her affair with Roger Guppy sets the town on its ear, and dismays smitten Gary whose erotic daydreams of Kate are dealt a severe blow. It's the Guppy family ...

The Guppy surname seems to have originated in Dorset and Somerset, England, ... both of them on the voyage; whilst Roger Guppy was excecuted at Bridgewater ...

I think I prefer the first reference to the second lol

Re: "Until I Googled You"

hi james,

like the humour, very "happening" theme to the song, seems like all the googles that came up on my name when i tried it some time ago were lawyers and teachers and such, what a boring name?

nice one
