    I Love You Because (Parody by Hla Min)

    • Many years ago, I wrote a parody.
    • “I love you because” (sung by Jim Reeves) was a hit played by Burma Broadcasting Service (BBS).
    • I wrote a light version of the song.
    • I did not have a Home Minister at that time to edit or veto it.

    I love you because (Lyrics)

    I love you
    because you always stand dear
    every time I opened up the door
    You’re always there
    to help me eat my jam dear
    I love you more
    because you never snore.

    No matter
    When you’re sleeping or awake dear
    You’re pretty
    as the craters on the moon
    I love you
    every minute of the hour dear
    Because you said
    You’d cry
    beside my tomb

    I love you
    because my pocket’s lighter
    every time you shop
    around the town
    I love you
    because you’re a great fighter
    But you promised
    you would never
    knock me down

    Take These Chains (Parody by Hla Min)

    • “Take these chains” was a song that was played often by BBS.
    • Thamankyar Ko Myint (Mn70) sang a Burmese song using the tune.
    • I tried to parody the song.

    Take these chains (Lyrics)

    Take these chains from my legs and set me free
    And the rope that ties me to this tree
    If you really pity me
    let me drink a glass of Zee
    Take these chains from my legs and set me free

    I’m charged with murder of a tiny, little flea
    “Cruel” said the judge and he would not hear my plea.
    So, if you really pity me
    let me sip a cup of tea
    Take these chains from my legs and set me free

    Take this scarf from my eyes and let me see
    If your waist still measures twenty three
    When I’m free I’ll marry you
    Even barrel shape will do
    Take these chains from my legs and set me free

    Lost Neikban RIT (Parody by U Myat Htoo)

    U Myat Htoo
    Lost Neikban
    • U Myat Htoo wrote a parody on “Pyauk Sone Nay Thaw Neikban Bon” (the song by Sai Kham Leik and Sai Htee Saing).
    • Played the Ukelele and sang the song at the 2015 Alumni Reunion in Los Angeles, and at NorCal RITAA Annual Dinner.
