It's reported you've been Cruciatin' Muggles and elves and runnin' wild
As I have previously stated, my future hypothetical wizard rock band will be called Washing Ron's Underpants¹. I was thinking about Washing Ron's Underpants² as I was driving back down to Ohio on Monday because I was running my mp3 player through my car speakers and "Harper Valley PTA" came on³. Normally this wouldn't have anything to do with Harry Potter, but for some reason when I went to sing the line "This is just a little Peyton Place and you're all Harper Valley hypocrites," it came out "you're all Harper Valley hippogriffs."
Then the next song was "Help Me Rhonda." As I have blogged before, thanks to Dave Barry and Harry Potter, I sometimes sing "Help Me Rhonda" as "Help Me Ron," a Harry Potter-themed parody of the Beach Boys song. Two Harry Potter songs in a row! It must be some sort of sign! So I have decided that Washing Ron's Underpants is going to be the fourth most popular Harry Potter parody/cover band in New Zealand.
I may need some help, though, because I can't sing or play any instruments or read or write music and so far the only lyrics I've come up with are the two above, plus:
The Burrow has a crowd. There's always something happening and it's usually quite loud.
Harry, are you okay? Are you okay? Are you okay, Harry? You've been hit by - you've been struck by... a smooth criminal.
He seems to have an invisible cloak, yeah. You reach around, but can't grab hold of his arm.
There is still much work to be done.
For wizard rock that is better (and more original) than mine, try Draco and the Malfoys or The Hermione Crookshanks Experience.
¹ Or Lovegoods Drink Booger Tea.
² That's "Washing Ron's Underpants," not "washing Ron's underpants."
³ I think I am now The Blogger Who Has Mentioned The Song "Harper Valley PTA" More Frequently Than All Other Bloggers. Do I get some kind of award?

Have you thought of writing J.K. Rowling with all of these lyrics? She might help you out! Seriously, You are talented!

I don't want to spend the rest of my life
Looking down the barrel of Slytherin smiles
I don't want to spend the rest of my days
Keeping out of trouble like Hermione says
I don't want to spend my time in hell
Looking at the walls of an Azkaban cell
I don't ever want to play the part
Of a statistic on a Ministry chart
There has to be an Invisible Cloak
It gives its shield to The Chosen One
There has to be an Invisible Cloak
That gives us hope when the series done
