SNL
Parody of BYOB by System of a Down
New lyrics by Spacedingo
WHY'S THIS SHOW STILL ON THE AIR
Tune in this Saturday night
Only on NBC
Watch our once proud franchise
As we crap on it's legacy
Lousy sketches, bad music,
hosts that don't want to be there
The not ready for Air Time players
Yet they mug the cameras every Saturday
Lalalalalalalame
Everybody laugh as we trot out a beloved character
They're the only sketches where we pretend to make an effort
Lorne Michaels should've ran
like he did after the 70s
Should've quit
while he was ahead
Why haven't they forced Don Pardo
Into retirement!
Quote unquote comedians
Yet they mug the cameras every Saturday
Lalalalalalalame
Everybody laugh as we trot out a beloved character
They're the only sketches where we pretend to make an effort
Everybody laugh as we trot out a beloved character
They're the only sketches where we pretend to make an effort
Showtime!
We're on the air!
Please welcome a host you never heard of
An indie band
That gets no airplay
Enjoy the freaking show
Enjoy the freaking show!
Enjoy the freaking show!
Nobody pretends to care,
why's this show still on the air
Nobody pretends to care,
why's this show still on the air
why's this show still on the air
why's this show still on the air
why's this show still on the air
Weekend Update
Boring as hell
But it's still better
than the rest of the show
Like the band? We booked them
last minute!
Because all the good bands cancelled
Watch them mug the cameras every Saturday
Everybody laugh as we trot out a beloved character
They're the only sketches where we pretend to make an effort
Everybody laugh as we trot out a beloved character
They're the only sketches where we pretend to make an.....
Enjoy the freaking show!
Enjoy the freaking show!
Nobody pretends to care,
why's this show still on the air
Nobody pretends to care,
why's this show still on the air
why's this show still on the air
why's this show still on the air
why's this show still on the air
EDIT:
Next parody in.
"Commercial Sign"
Parody of "What Goes Around...Comes Around (Interlude)" by Justin Timberlake
Waynes World,
Is being shown for free on TV,
Ive never seen it before,
But I really like Dana Carvey,
So this how Ill spend my day,
I have a bag of popcorn at hand,
Just when I was gettin comfy,
I thought this was commercial-free, but I guess I was wrong,
Dont want no cleaning products,
Dont want a new Nintendo,
Dont want no car insurance,
These minutes feel like such a waste,
Dont want a burger flipper,
Dont want a fondue dipper,
Or a signed pic of the Skipper,
Tell me, is this fair?
This is the way its been going down,
Has humanity died?
Im in no need of a bridal gown,
With waterproof, linen sides,
Its breaking my heart to watch them run around,
Because I know that I dont have the time,
Thats ok, watcher, cause in time you will find,
Dont want a knife, or Boys Life, thats my strife, I turn the volume down,
I flip away to USA, Moscow Today, Im coming back around,
I dont want prawn, Wrath of Kahn, Pokémon, oh all the stuff Ive found,
I flip to see MTV, A&E, but its all the same sounds, no,
My girl came in the room to watch shows with me,
It seemed like each commercial was advertising jewelry,
I could feel her watching intently,
The funny thing about that is,
I tried flipping to Court TV,
But I found to my amazement,
Theyre on every channel, I say to my money so long,
Dont want a Mickey Mouse straw,
Dont want an industrial strength bra,
Dont want a LaserDisc of Saw,
I cant believe, I cant get away,
Dont want Pacs best rap battles,
Or coffee from Seattle,
No need for branding cattle,
Im missing MST3K,
Is this the way they bring their story down?
Id rather be punched in the eye,
Than sit here and watch that advertising battleground,
While Im missing CSI,
I know it cant be long before they run aground,
Out of things to assault my eyes,
But for now, lame, I have to sit through this line,
Dont want no dips, fish and chips, brandy sips, I want my show back around,
Es Top 10, CNN, Barneys Friends, I hate the commercials sounds,
Dont want no hats for my cats, baseball bats, the magnitude confounds,
The Loony Toons, Silver Spoons, Lynchs Dune, all surrounded like it was hunting ground, no,
Every commercial sign, yeah,
I pretty much lose my mind, you should know that,
Every commercial sign, yeah,
I pretty much lose my mind, you should know that,
Dont want a DVD,
With brand new commentry
With the Sean Connery,
Every show is ending this way,
Dont want to learn no German,
Dont want no Pee Wee Herman,
Dont want no Sunday sermon,
Tell me, is this fair?
Is this the way that TVs always been?
Im missing all my shows,
Interrupted every minute or three,
I should really get TiVo,
And it breaks my heart when the show comes back to me,
Because I know that therell always be more,
But thats ok, baby, because for now, the shows all mine,
Dont want no house, designer blouse, Mighty Mouse, I want the show back around,
I pass The Best, PBS, game of chess, theres nothing to be found,
Dont want no game, picture frame, fancy name, Im tired of fooling around,
The news at eight, Hands of Fate, The Golden State, Im back around, no,
Yup,
Yup,
Yup,
Yup,
I spend my nights alone,
Sitting in my home,
I check the messages that are on my telephone,
I get some food out,
Leftovers from this afternoon,
Turn on the TV,
This is the way it goes,
Im depleted, see,
I have no energy,
Thats why Im so glad to turn on my TV screen,
And see the face of Tom Servo,
Oh, maybe it was karma, but I soon got what I deserved,
It asked if I had acne,
Told me bout gigabytes,
It made my car look shoddy,
And showed how to wash my whites,
Some of them were quite funny,
They just want my money,
See?
I flip around, come back around,
Every channel, hey,
I flip around, come back around,
Every channel, hey,
I flip around, come back around,
Every channel, hey,
I flip around, come back around,
Every channel, hey,
See? Theres no escaping it,
I flip around, come back around.
EDIT: And here's our third parody.
I've been doing parodies of hit 70's songs and giving them Shakespearean themes (you can see them in the parodies thread), and this one is no exception. The play is All's Well That Ends Well, one of the lesser-known plays.
CHASING MY GUY
by Avesjohn
Parody of Stayin Alive by the Bee Gees
Well you can tell by the way I use my walk
Im a mans woman; use time to stalk
Dads dying and kids crying,
Weve got our frowns, now the kings done
And hes not all right, hes not OK
But I cured him with miracle today
I finally got ring on my hand
Just cause I cured that sickly man
Im not just a jaywalker but Im also Bertrams stalker
And Im chasing my guy, chasing my guy
Watch my Bertram leaving cause he dont want to be with me
But Im chasing my guy, chasing my guy
Ah, ha, ha, ha, chasing my guy, chasing my guy
Ah, ha, ha, ha, chasing my guy
Well now, he runs fast and he flies high
He thinks I cant catch him, but I really try
Got the rings from wedding on my hands
Im a get my man, and I just wont lose
You know its all right, its OK
His mamas on my side today
And he can try to put his hands
On another girl and be her man
With my kisses smother and Ill be his childrens mother
And Im chasing my guy, chasing my guy
My heart may be breaking but the bed will soon be shaking
Cause Im chasing my guy, chasing my guy
Ah, ha, ha, ha, chasing my guy, chasing my guy
Ah, ha, ha, ha, chasing my guy
Hes going nowhere, Im gonna catch him
Im gonna get my man
Hes going nowhere
Hes gonna be my man
Well you can tell by the way I use my walk
Im a mans woman; used time to stalk
Babys loud and daddys warm
Not been kicked around since kid was born
And now its all right, its OK
Alls Well That Ends Well is the play
And we can try to understand
Why Im such a Shakespeare fan
This parody was written bout a woman who was smitten
She was chasing her guy, chasing her guy
Its like Fatal Attraction but without dead bunny distraction
She was chasing her guy, chasing her guy
Ah, ha, ha, ha, chasing her guy, chasing her guy
Ah, ha, ha, ha, chasing her guy
Song going nowhere, somebody help me
Somebody help me, yeah
Song going nowhere
Somebody help me, yeah
Shes chasing her guy
Our penultimate parody:
Rachael Ray. Five TV shows, 13 books, her own magazine, endless product lines. I even saw her face on a box of crackers, which inspired me to write this parody. So here it is, set to the tune of one of my all-time favorite non-Al songs. And despite what some of the lyrics may imply, I'm really am a fan of RR. Yum-o! -U62
Original tune here in case anyone needs it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMKCgMuNqzc
RACHAEL RAY
A parody of "Yesterday" by the Beatles
with new lyrics by U62
Rachael Ray, on my TV almost every day
Why should I care what she has to say
Oh, I can't stand Miss Rachael Ray
Originally, I knew exactly where she would be
30 Minute Meals was enough for me
But not for her, apparently
Next another show
She spends Forty bucks a day
I'd... pay... forty-one
To stop seeing Rachael Ray
Rachael Ray, everywhere I go I see her face
Sells 13 books so you can cook her way
And a magazine called "Everyday"
Now another show
It seems like she's here to stay
Day-time talk done wrong
When the host is Rachael Ray
Rachael Ray, seems there's nowhere I can get away
Guess I might as well come out and say
Oh, I'm in love with Rachael Ray
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm.
