The Origin of Awesome Lyrics

[Spoken Intro]
Hey guys I got a question here from HelloKittyLitter15, she says:
'Hey Mark, how did you come up with the idea for The Key of Awesome? plz respond!'
That's actually a really interesting story, and it goes a little something like this

[Mark]
One night I ate a plate of nachos and when right to bed
I had a lot of freaky dreams dancing through my head
I was visited by Ke$ha and Lady Gaga
They said "You should start a music show, blah blah blah"
Adam Lambert and Batman agreed
So I woke up and quit my job immediately
My boss said fine but what are your goals?
I grabbed him by the tie and said Rock and Roll

[Hook]
The Key of Awesome
(What does that mean you fool?)
The Key of Awesome
(I don't know but it sounds cool
The Key of Awesome
The Key of Awesome

I felt great but thought wait
What about all my bills?
I got a little light-headed and I took a spill
My friends showed up and erased my doubt
They said: "We've been sent from Awesometown to help you out"
[Lady Gaga]
I'll be in you videos to provide the cleavage

[Justin Bieber]
And I will be there to provide the Biebage

[Ke$ha]
You just have to pay me with Jack and weed

[Batman]
And you will only write songs in one magical key

[Hook]
The Key of Awesome
(Hey, that's what we should call the show)
The Key of Awesome
(Um yeah dude, we know)
The Key of Awesome
Yeah, ahhh

[Mark]
There's no place like awesome

[Female office worker]
Mark, are you okay?
[Mark]
I had an amazing dream
And you were there
And you were there
And you were there
And even you Steve

[Female office worker]
Let's get you home
It was all just a dream

[Mark]
And that's how it all went down
Exactly

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
