No cartoon today, but song lyrics… Yes, lyrics!
When I’m out riding my bike (and not falling over and smashing my face on the road) it gives me inspiration. The other day I was going for a spin and started humming that damn catchy Plain White T’s song “Hey There Delilah“. Stuck Tune Syndrome, you know. Now that song has been spoofed many times before and so I got the idea to write my own Happysad version. Read on…
NO I WILL NOT make a video of me singing it myself so I can post it on YouTube. Believe me, it would haunt you for days, and me for the rest of my life. But for full effect I do very much recommend to let this acoustic version accompany you. Now you can sing along 
Hey Happysad girl
Hey Happysad girl
You’re my source of inspiration
you’re the reason I keep drawing
all this stuff on adoration
Yes it’s true
I do this just because of you
(and of me too)
Hey Happysad girl
You’re my muse and motivation
You’re the one who gives new meaning
to the words infatuation
and ordeal
I try to show you how I feel
but it’s not real
No, it’s just my fantasy
No, it’s just my fantasy
No, it’s just my fantasy
Oh, you’re just my fantasy
Hey Happysad girl
My cartoons will stroke your ego
Even though you know so well
How they can make someone like me go
a bit mad
This wishful thinking in my head
Is happysad
But Happysad girl
Don’t you worry ’bout me going
all insane or lacerated
over something that’s still glowing
a bit hot
I know what’s real and what is not
I’ve learned a lot
No, it’s just my fantasy
No, it’s just my fantasy
No, it’s just my fantasy
Oh, you’re just my fantasy
Oh Happysad girl don’t you see
My pencil screams for you and me
To get together every now and then
’cause even though you’ll never stay
with me forever anyway
Those seconds that we share are still enough
To make my heart fill up once more
with fuel to make it through the door
Out into the world i wanted to explore
And that is love
Hey Happysad girl
I must thank you for whatever
That it is you’re doing to me
which I guess is really clever
and well done
I miss you bad when you are gone
This is the message that I send
Signed, your admirer, til the end
I’m “Just A Friend”
Oh it’s just my fantasy
Oh It’s just my fantasy
Oh It’s just my fantasy
All this stuff of you and me
awesome
Totally worth the wait
I have been listening to the song for three days now non stop as my girlfriend is going through depression all the way in the States doing her one year of school. and now I see it in my Happysad. I’m a firm believer in signs but what does this one mean?
@amadeus
Maybe it means that everything will be alright in the end;).
“Hey there Delilah” is my favorite song of the moment, I find it so romantic.
fucking hilarious
Wow. This is brilliant. I had to play the song three times and sing your lyrics along with it. It’s so achingly sad… I love it….
I think you should do a youtube video version.
Oooh! how lovely!
You’ll need to put it to the song now, like these guys:

yeah, its pretty hard to try not to sing “hey there delilah”, but in its defense, its a sweet, sweet song.
Hay, I’m sixteen in just over a month and a hopless romanitc and I LOVE this stuff! I found this lot about… 2-3 hours ago and haven’t been able to take my eyes off of my laptop screen since!
You’re a genius and soo many people can relate to your work.
This song’s a really good lyric-swap over! Showed it to my friend and she’s now obsessed with your version.
Just a little commenty thingy to say you’re frigging brilliant!
