    Video Courtesy of Sue Fliess: I did it again! I’ve made another writing parody, this time to Lorde’s #1 hit song, Royals. Mine is called Stories. This is just a parody. No copyright infringement intended.

    I purchased the karaoke version of the music and recorded my changed up lyrics in fellow writer/muscian Tim McCanna’s studio in Mountain View, CA.

    Yes, this is me singing (melody and harmonies). I hope you enjoy this. If you do, please “like” it and share it!
