Original Lyrics by Irving Berlin: I Know A Fine Way To Treat A Steinway Lyrics on Micheal Feinstein's version that inspired this thread: I Just Appalled When It's Not a Baldwin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGIb5mC02cMCan you rewrite the lyrics for the piano of your choice?

My Hailun has really got me smilin', My Austin-Weight is really, really great, Soon I'll have an Erard in my back yard, And I'm enjoying a Sandwich with my Fandrich.

The best examples IMO are the ones that fit the original music in the spot the original lyrics come from. Some of the above work fine and the others...? See the Pianist Corner for some more clever examples.
