A Bigfoot fan was so inspired by Me Write Book: It Bigfoot Memoir that they picked up their ukulele and paid tribute to the big guy by recording their own version of the rock ballad That Would Be Awesome. It’s sure to be a classic! See it here.

Hey baby can you no see there a tear drop in my eye?
Hey baby can you no see you baking sadness pie?
And it hot and it burn when I put it in my mouth
And it burn me insides tooooo
So put pie in window it need to cool for an hour or two

Chorus
And that would be awesome
Totally awesome
Possums are awesome, possums are awesome

But there thunder then there lightning
And wind blow the pie awaaay (repeat)

But if I wish upon a rainbow
Maybe pie come back some daaay

Repeat chorus
