OK, maybe you’re not a rock star. Maybe you can’t even play an instrument or sing. But if you’re a blogger, then you can write. Pick out a popular song, one most people will recognize (like Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA”). Find the lyrics online using a search engine like Google. If it’s not already part of your music collection, (legally) download a copy (such as from iTunes or Zune Marketplace). Listen to it a few times.

If you have a blog that focuses on a specific topic, brainstorm all the words you can think of that relate to your topic and write a parody of the popular song using terminology from your blog’s content area. If your blog isn’t focused on a specific topic, your task could be simpler, since you can write about anything you like.

For example, if your blog was about nursing, you might parody the Beatles’ “I Want To Hold Your Hand” with the phrase “I Want to Take Your Pulse”.
