Parodies You've Made

Post by **anthontherun** » Wed May 28, 2003 4:58 am

I'm writing a parody of WDTAHTM? and could use a little help. This is what I've got:

I was surfin'on the Internet when I saw the Flash intro

About some weird event on the 20th of May

It flashed a little face, then it said to enter the site

Oh I very fondly remember that day

And I said, "Jon, I thank you for this great news

But why'd they have to move the homepage just for that?"

What a drag, cause now I have to wait for the thing to load

And with my slow connection, this really isn't too phat

Why does this always happen...

Why does this always happen to me?

Why does this always happen...

Why does this always happen to me?

~~~

Tips, comments, critiques, ideas for the next verses???

Well I don't know if this counts but did you know you can sing the words of Amazing Grace to the tune of the theme for Gilligan's Island? Try it, it's enjoyable.

Also we always thought it would be funny to hear "My Fart Will Go On" as a parody to Celine's "My Heart Will Go On" I don't have any words for it...maybe I will think of some now thanks to all the inspiration here....

Nothing like a mix of the classics. Does it work the other way around?

Wait right there! You have 420 posts. Sorry, I have this weird disease that forces me to point out any number with any significance. It's sad really, seeing 6:33 on a clock, and yelling "6 minus 3 equals 3!" Some people are bothered by it, and some people just pity me.

That hurts my brain!

I thought of some lyrics for My Fart Will Go On...

Near, Far

I'll smell where you are

And I know that my fart will go on

The smell will stay, forever this way

And I know that my fart will go on and on

Well it's a place to start...any ideas?

Geeze, I can't count the number of parodies I've written over the years. I've had them played on the local radio station, but we never actually got around to releasing a CD. A few of my favorites are:

"This Hero Guy" Parody of American Pie by Don MccLean

"Schattenjager" Parody of The Good Ol' Days be Weird Al Yankovic

"No More EP" Parody of Head over Feet by Alanis Morisette

"Champion" Parody of Piano Man by Billy Joel

"More than a Robber" Parody of More than a Woman by Billy Joel

"Lucas" Parody of Nature Trail to Hell

"Shapeir (as we know it)" Parody of It's the End of the World as we Know it by R.E.M.

I've done waaay more, those are just some of my favorites.

I'm currently working on a parody of my own. I think you'll all like it.

Weird Al Show

(Parody of.. Hardware Store)

Nothing really (ever) happens in this town.

Feeling bored, down (down), not a whole lot going down here

I thought this I would be bored outta mind

Until the site posted the news.

It said hey (Hey!), you know Melody Fair?

It looks like Weird Al is indeed scheduled to be there.

And on that day, we're gonna hear him play and buy some brand new concert gear.

Since then I've been dancing around (round),

Can't hardly keep my feet upon the ground.

Cause I've so excited, that I've started the countdown

I'm just waiting until June

Some random act does the opening

Then the lights go down and Al can do his thing

And on the twenty ninth, yes, I'll be there to sing

Oh, I think I'll go and swoon.

I can't wait no, I can't wait.

When will he finally be in Buffalo?

I'm goin' (yes we're) goin', I'm a-goin' to the

Goin' to the (Weird) Al we're goin', really goin' to the

Goin' (Al) I'm goin' to the (Al) oh yes, I'm goin' to the

Weird Al Show!

.. That's all I have so far :biggrin:

Feel free to offer suggestions or criticisms. (Preferable more suggestions than criticism

I updated my catalogue slightly by writing 12 new songs, including 5 new parodies and a medley of sorts. The parodies are as follows:

"Buy Me A Liver" ("Cry Me A River" by Justin Timberlake)

"56 Bad Relationships" ("Can't Stop" by Red Hot Chili Peppers)

"Emancipation Proclamation" ("Complicated" by Avril Lavigne)

"Third Grady Birthday Party" ("In Da Club" by 50 Cent)

"Blind Date" ("Gossip Folks" by Missy Elliot)

You can check out the lyrics to these songs (as well as the remaining seven) at www.geocities.com/foolinmothernature/moneybags.

One Note: That's pretty cool. My suggestion is during "that verse", list all the places Al will be going!

QUOTE One Note: That's pretty cool. My suggestion is during \"that verse\", list all the places Al will be going!

Actually, I think, if I can, it'll be a catalog of his songs.

His tour is pretty short this year.

I dunno. Dunno if I can do it. We'll see.
