The other night on Twitter, a bunch of us were being silly (what else is new), debating the attractiveness of Peeta and Gale from The Hunger Games. Chris from book-a-rama admitted she hadn’t yet read the books, but she was willing to be bribed into joining a team. I offered a song in exchange for her eternal devotion to Team Gale. Chris, I’ll be looking for your pro-Gale post soon.
And because my verses are a little off, this is meant to be sung to the tune of “Be My Baby,” by The Ronettes.
Last night on Twitter you said you’d join Team Gale
So order the book now and have it sent airmail
I’m writing this song for you
Chris book-a-rama, yes you
If you read it you’ll see
Why Gale is the guy for me
So won’t you please
(Read it read it right now) Read The Hunger Games
(You must read it Chris) So you’ll join Team Gale
(Read it read it right now) Read Hunger Games now
(You must read it Chris) Ooh, ohh, ohh, oh
It’ll make you happy, baby
Just wait and see
With every page turned you’ll agree
You’re no Peeta devotee
Since last night on Twitter
Our goal is to make Team Peeta bitter
So don’t be a quitter
In the name of all that’s holy
Oh won’t you please
(Read it read it right now) Read The Hunger Games
(You must read it Chris) So you’ll join Team Gale
(Read it read it right now) Read Hunger Games now
(You must read it Chris) Ooh, ohh, ohh, oh
So come on and please
(Read it read it right now) Read The Hunger Games
(You must read it Chris) So you’ll join Team Gale
(Read it read it right now) Read Hunger Games now
(You must read it Chris) Ooh, ohh, ohh, oh
(Read it read it right now) Read The Hunger Games
(You must read it Chris) So you’ll join Team Gale
(Read it read it right now) Read Hunger Games now
(You must read it Chris) Ooh, ohh, ohh, oh
LOL! Oh man, now I feel the pressure. I hope Gale is as awesome as you say he is.
I’m waiting in the library queue for The Hunger Games. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Thanks for the song. Go Team Gale!!!

I feel guilty that I haven’t read The Hunger Games yet after that song!

God I love this song! Especially the part where you wrote that “we want to make Team Peeta bitter so don’t be a quitter”! Team Gale!

I didn’t pick sides after The Hunger Games, but I did pick sides during Catching Fire, and I am on Team Gale. I love this song!

LOL I almost spit out my hot chocolate. You are so funny, Jill. Maybe someday I’ll try out these books. Not until the third one comes out though. I hate waiting.

That is hilarious! I hope Chris reads the book soon I should probably read it at some point, too, so as not to be so out of the loop!

I haven’t exactly declared an alliance yet because, though I don’t like Peeta and think he’s too sweet and nice for my taste, I don’t love Gale yet. But this song just might force me out of my Switzerland-ishness and onto Team G.

I haven’t read it yet either but I got it, and promptly left it at work. Won’t be back to work until Jan. 5th so I guess I won’t be reading it over my break.

Oh, I missed that conversation on Twitter, but I did get into another one where I officially went public for Team Gale. Like nomadreader, I didn’t make the call until after Catching Fire, though.
Great song, as always – and read the books, Chris!
