Jared & Friends - The Story of Cupid & Psyche

Have a listen to this song I made up, singing over the instrumental of Topsy Turvy Tea from Barney's Best Manners, the one from 2003. I am telling the mythical story of Cupid and Psyche for Valentine's Day. Hey, if retail can get in the spirit early, so can I!

Been having this idea in the vault for many years, and now we makin it happen!

And the more I listen to this.....the more I feel this really could fit as an actual song in the Barney universe!

Enjoy!

Lyrics:

It’s just Once Upon a Time
Ancient times this story led
there lived a goddess named Venus
who was brooding in dread
Her sons were all just swooning
As anyone could see
They were all swooning
Over the beautiful Psyche

Now I know you ask
“Who is she?”
Well, allow me to say
Her beauty was magnetic
Could attract any guy ‘cross the way
There was one her beauty truly caught
Oh yes, it truly did
Now if you’re wondering
Yes, you’re right
It’s the God of Love, CUPID

WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?

Venus was so very mad
Her motives, not so vague
So she used her goddess power
To create an awful plague

The King called around the way
To sacrifice someone, you see
And, oh you guessed it
Totally chanced it
It was his daughter, Psyche

WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?

The King had her tied up
to the monster, was her it’d eat
Unless someone could rescue her
and ask to be married
And in a great flash
Who, this job did
If you didn’t already guess
it was dear old Cupid!

WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?

And that is how forbidden love
really did prevail
Every year during Valentine’s
He’s flying so very near
With a soot of his arrows
You’ll fall for the first you see
So please remember this message:

Instead of hate, LOVE! Get it?

Now this is the end of the story of Cupid and Psyche!
