Shmeldavin, the Closest Cave to Heaven
Skirmish: Shmeldavin (musical Balde... (@dudachris) Challenge: MADE-UP WORDSLiner Notes
#skirmish @omnichord #improv #silly
I wrote a novel last month for funsies and due to a mistype of "cave" as "cafe" I decided to add a few scenes of "Dave's Cave and Cafe". Maybe Shmeldavin is a better name for that cave?
Lyrics
C Em Am F
Halfway up the mountain Covered in snow, why did you go this way?? You'll find a little outcrop of rock And right at the end of it is a little cave
And inside you'll finally feel alive 'Cause it's full of hot springs And you feel your blood finally starting to thaw
Oh, welcome to Shmeldavin! It's like heaven, except it's mostly hot springs and a little cafe It's run by Devin, he'll help you with anything you need to make your stay And don't worry how you're gonna pay 'Cause he takes all major credit cards And it's not an arm and a leg I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay here at Shmeldavin, just stay!
And you know that breakfast in bed starts at strictly 8am I hope you're ready for him, 'Cause he'll just come in! And he's got all the keys o.o But where else were you gonna stay halfway up Mount Everest? It's too cold to go outside So why not stay here for all of time? Here at Shmeldavin Cave!
The cafe's got lots of little board games and there are lots of other people trapped here by the snow so you know! There's always gonna be someone who wants to play a little Cranium Or maybe Pictionary? And you know it's gonna be so fun when you stay here at Shmeldavin, the closest thing to Heaven Come on in, Devin will take good care of you! It's gonna be so fun up here!
Why would you go outside when inside's so good Why would you go back outside while inside's so good Why would you go back outside while inside's so good Why would you go back outside while inside's so good??
Here at Shmeldavin Cave <3

Einfach nur cool gemacht!
I see that we agree that Shmeldavin is a place name – maybe they should be twinned? 😀 This is so much fun and the omnichord makes it sound very magical and fairy-taleish! (Also riffing off a typo of cave for café is already perfection). I want to visit your Shmeldavin!
Oh man this is just the whimsy I was looking for today!! LOVE IT!!
💙 💚
This pretty immediately felt like a theme song for a cute kids show -- probably with puppets -- that takes place in the friendly magical place of Shmeldavin ...oh he'll just come right in, you say? people are trapped? okay maybe not so much a magical kid show haha.
I’m so excited I get to keep my arms and legs, so ready!!! Joyful. Silly. My next vacation dream. Devin that wee Angel.
So fun and fantastic. Theatre/ stage /showtime/ musical Theatre genre. Love your song, singing, vision for the prompt. Gorgeous 😍 Your song should be used for therapy to shake off any bad / low mood. People would start smiling and feeling warmer.
