Ice Gives Winter a Bad Name

I hope none of you thought Asa would let Jon Bon Jovi’s birthday week go by without one of his parodies! Yesterday while Mom was mourning the loss of her obsolete DVR filled with Bon Jovi recordings, Asa was also strolling down memory lane. He’s written a lot of parodies to their songs over the years. Some are ok, most are dreadful. Today he’s sharing this paw pounding arena anthem from 2019 to the tune of “You Give Love a Bad Name,” about the the problems of an icy backyard in winter. As always, my sincere apologies to all fans of the original song, including myself.

Stuck in the house, and cold’s to blame,

Mother Nature, ice gives winter a bad name!

A Polar Vortex is what you said,

You promised me snow, but you sent ice instead

On a leash now when I go pee,

When snow is my passion, I want to break free!

Oh! Mom slipped and fell!

Oh! Now I can’t run! 

No one can melt this

This ice is no fun! 

Stuck in the house, and cold’s to blame,

Ice gives winter a bad name, bad name!

I want to play, but this ice is insane,

Ice gives winter a bad name, bad name!

Ice gives winter…a bad name! 

Subfreezing temps on your map

These bitter breezes make me want to nap

A puppy’s dream to go play fetch

Mom’s very first slip and I kissed that goodbye! 

Whoa! Mom slipped and fell! 

Whoa! Now I can’t run! 

No one can melt this

This ice is no fun! 

Stuck in the house, and cold’s to blame,

Ice gives winter a bad name, bad name!

I want to play, but this ice is insane,

Ice gives winter a bad name, bad name!

Ice gives winter… 

Oh! Stuck in the house, and cold’s to blame,

Ice gives winter a bad name, bad name!

I want to play, but this ice is insane,

Ice gives winter a bad name, bad name!

Ice gives winter…a bad name!

This photo was taken a couple weeks ago. Now our yard is worse with a layer of fluffy snow over the ice, making it even more slippery when icy!
