Robin Palmer Sings Grateful TEDAholic, Her Song The TED Acapella Choir Will Sing @TEDActive 2013 http://www.ted.com/profiles/811419 I am so happy to be participating at TEDActive 2013 for the first time this month! (http://conferences.ted.com/TEDActive2013) Wow! One of my fellow TEDActivists, Tereza Nemessanyi, had a great idea to assemble an a capella choir and sing a song or two for all of the TEDActivators there. Well, it turns out that Tereza is VERY POPULAR! She would have been the girl in high school voted as Ms. Congeniality AND most likely to succeed! So, she has now been asked to participate in several TEDActive projects and has asked me to organize what I have dubbed "The TEDAcapella Choir." Ok, I did star in Broadway musicals for 15 years, but I have never organized or directed an a capella choir before! I started looking for possible songs to sing and then this song popped out of me a couple of days ago. Now the choir members have voted to sing Grateful TEDAholic at TEDActive! Enjoy! And if you too are a Grateful TEDAholic, I've included the lyrics below, so you can sing along! And when we sing it at TEDActive, you are welcome to join in! Grateful TEDAholic by Robin Boudreau Palmer When I've got the blues 'Don't drown myself in booze Take in a talk instead With TED When I feel forlorn I don't turn to porn I snuggle up instead With TED I'm a grateful TEDAholic I'm addicted all the way Flew to TED from Swaziland And now I'm here to stay I'm a grateful TEDAholic So glad I'm not alone All your smiling faces tell me That I finally am home And TED's family is special - like Active, Ed and Global Out of all of my ex's, I love TEDx the best! (spoken -"Way!") When I'm running scared, Lost and unprepared I stop and clear my head With TED When I'm longing for a thrill 'Stead of crashing down a hill I know I'll be elated With TED I'm a grateful TEDAholic I'm addicted all the way Flew to TED from Swaziland And now I'm here to stay I'm a grateful TEDAholic So glad I'm not alone All your smiling faces tell me That I finally am home All your smiling faces tell me That I've finally come home.
