Parodies - 2

Parody of "Wonder Why" by PFR (Parody by PattyT)



You know for certain that you are inferior.

You told me yourself. You know the truth.

But you are a male-type, so you won't admit it.

But you know the so#m will expose you.



And you wunner why you feel this way.

And you wunner why you had to be a male.

And you wunner what you can do to get hair.

And you wunner who will save you from moo#b.



You've tried not to be a blood-sucking leach,

But male-types like you are stuck that way.

So, as a man, lost you won't stop to ask for directions.

The more you think, the more you waste the day.



And you wunner why you feel this way.

And you wunner why you had to be a male.

And you wunner what you can do to get hair.

And you wunner who will save you from moo#b.

Parody of "Let it Go" by the Newsboys (Parody by mred)



You are waiting in your room

For Steve's CD to come

Maybe a flier in the mail

Maybe an e-mail saying "It's done."

And the waiting leaves you numb



Chorus:

Will it be fall?

Is it delayed?

Will the latest rumor be true?

Did Steve really die?

Or is he just tired?

Where's the album?

It's overdue.



You are waiting in a store

This is where CD's are sold

And as another season passes, empty

You wait for Steve to do something new

And "Bottle Rocket" just won't do



CHORUS



Now he won't even tour

Including Cornerstone

And it makes us sad

Please, Steve, go

To the studio

studio

studio

studio...



CHORUS



Will it be fall?

Is it delayed?

Will the latest rumor be true?

We're waiting, Steve

Just say the words

"It's coming out next year:

Early June."



It's overdue...

Parody of "Letters in My Head" by Fleming & John (parody by mred)



Inspired by a McDonalds McNugget sale that was so successful that I had a dream about them.



To whom it may concern

You've got a lot to learn

What makes you think that you can buy McNuggets all day

I just kind of stood there

Boxing them politely

But now I've got a few words I'd like to say

You ever buy another one again

I'll have to hit you in the chin



Chorus:

I'm dreaming nuggets in my head

McDonald's has me seeing red

While I lie asleep in bed

I'm dreaming nuggets in my head



Dear Ron

Okay I'll admit I was wrong

When I said you set the prices way too low

But it makes me sigh

When the customers buy

Sale-priced Chicken McNuggets by the bushel-full

May be a slacker and a little lazy

But this sale is driving me crazy



CHORUS



I wish we had an automatic nugget machine

'Cause that would make this job easy for me

But that's not likely so I'll have to wait

My break doesn't start until a quarter 'til eight

I don't like to work; I don't like the food

This sale puts me in a bad mood

No one come in or even drive-thru

One more order and I'll have to sue



CHORUS



(tossing, turning in my bed...)

Parody of "Flood" by Jars of Clay (parody by Weird Alex)



Pain splayed cross my face

Haven't flushed the toilet for days

My toilet, it floods

And slowly my room, it turns into mud



Chorus:

And if I can't flush after 40 days

And the plumbing cracks as the pressures raise

Get me out real quick so alive I'll stay

Get me out oh...

Get me out!

It's grimy and smelly

Get me out!

I'm weak and I'm dying

Get me out!

Need someone to hold me

Get me out!

And keep me from drowning in here



Downpour on the sole

Of my best shoes from the place of the hole

In the old toilet tank

Now the toilet floods and my apartment is rank



Chorus



Stop the water from my room

Staunch the streams still flowing

Rescue me from in my doom

Of toilets overflowing...



Chorus to fade...

Parody of "Monkey Grinder" by Chagall Guevara (parody by P-D)



it's six a.m.

monday morning

put my robe on and trip on my shoe

already smell the

heady aroma

emanating from my

favourite morning brew



MORE CAFFEINE



fingers go tight

across formica

my cup is reeled in

from the counter to my maw



who knows factually a coffee's caffine count?

it could be three parts per a million or as much as half an ounce

all you java junkies shakin' through your daily routine

have you heard the scream of the coffee grinder?



don't you worry

the coffee's brewing

I ground us up a new batch

french vanilla gonna get you buzzin'

from the morning until night



...if you drink enough...



and the "joe" it goes down

heart-beat quickens

nerves all vibrate

'til your body's hummin'



(chorus)



I can't find my favourite beans

and my neighbor says hers disappeared last week

and there's a rumour goin' 'round 'bout a big price increase

and I hear it's got something to do with Brazil



some say it's a drought year

some say that it's an early frost

there's panic in the beverage aisles

better start your own horde



(chorus)

Parody of "Circle of Error" by Sixpence None the Richer (parody by FadeAway)



I see the count reset again

back from where it was going to where it's been

once more in a rut

does the first two but

it never gets to three



and I'll admit it disturbs me so

when my silley program just will not go

tracing subtle bugs

seems like every rug's

been pulled out from under me



and my circular error

will go round and round

and my circular error

will go round and round again

(and again)



I'm running code into the ground

the results I'm seeking have not been found

the bug prevails

every time it fails

bringing cries of "not again!"



so i will try debugging mode

in the midst of this spaghetti code

all I want is to

increment past two

just to break this loop it's in



and my circular error

will go round and round

and my circular error

will go round and round again



and my circular error

will go round and round

and my circular error

will go round and round again



count to one

count to two

then I scream



oh ponder my friend

the time I'll spend

writing all these subroutines

again



(guitar solo)



and my circular error

will go round and round

and my circular error

will go round and round again



and my circular error

will go round and round

and my circular error

will go round and round again



Note:



This is a parody of the song as actually sung by Sixpence. That version has some lyrics not found in the liner notes. They go approximately so (transcribed as best as possible, considering their penchant for muffled vocals) <g> ......:



can I ask

can I find

can I scream



for you to forgive

the time I've spent

on this awful carousel

again

Parody of Jesus Freak by dcTalk (Parody by Weird Alex)



Separated, I cut myself free

From the network that lags me when I download big things

Been understanding this new IRC force

And a setup that replaced all the servers of course!



(rap)

Saw a man there next to me with a big fat belly

It wiggled around like marmalade jelly

It took me a while to catch what he said

Cause I had to synchronize with the lag in my head

Download .wav's is what he raved

In a typical cyber-means

He hooked up to the net in the middle of the city

And he started having dreams...



(Chorus)

What will people think when they hear that I'm a cybergeek?

What will people do when they find out it's true?

I don't really care if they label me a cyber geek

There ain't no disguising the truth



Kamikaze... it split again

So now I have to start downloading again

The athletic-minded see me as weak

Cuz I'd much rather be just a dull cyber geek, yeah



(rap)

There was a man from the desert with spam in his head

He connected himself to the Net from his bed

The chats that he made made people assume

There wasn't much firing in the upper room

With crumbs on his shirt and crumbs on his face

He was a disgrace by the way that he ate

And everybody tripped when they heard him speak

Cuz then they too wanted to be cyber geeks



(chorus)

(bridge)

People say I'm strange, does this just make me stranger

That I surf the web like a lone ranger

(repeat bridge)

(modem solo)

(chorus out)

What will people think?

What will people do?

I don't really care

What else can I say?

Hacking is the way....

Parody of "Wonderwall" by Oasis (Parody by Weird Alex)



Today is gonna be the day

When I'm gonna go and buy some shoes

By now, you shoulda somehow realized it's what I have to do

I don't believe that anybody needs new shoes much more than I do now



Wet feet, the word is on the street that my feet could put a fire out

I know you've heard this all before, but this time there is just no doubt

I don't believe that anybody needs new shoes much more than I do now



Cause all the roads I have to walk are winding

And this pain that is in my feet is blinding

And there are many things that I would like to say to you

Other than OW!!!!!



Because maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me

Cause after all, you're driving to the mall



Today it really was the day

When I went out for to buy new shoes

By now, you should have somehow realized it's what I had to do

I don't believe that anybody needs new shoes much less than I do now...

Parody of "Tubthumping" by Chumbawamba (parody by Weird Alex)



I get knocked down, and then I stay right there

You ain't never gonna get me up

I get knocked down, and then I stay right there

You ain't never gonna get me up



Singing the night away, singing the night away



He has a water drink, he has a juice drink

He has a soda drink, he has a milk drink

He sings the songs that remind him of the bad times

He sings the songs that remind him of the worse times

"Don't tell my heart, my achy-breaky heart"



I get knocked down ...



He has a water drink, he has a juice drink

He has a soda drink, he has a milk drink

He sings the songs that remind him of the bad times

He sings the songs that remind him of the WORST times

"I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world..."



I get knocked down... (to fade)

Parody of "Never Dim" by The Waiting (parody by Sknapper)



I still can smell the pizza

though I have already ate

17 giant pieces

that were crowded on my plate

I think I still can hear them calling

I just keep gaining lots of weight



Debbie cakes are yummy

I eat hundreds every day

The calories are plenty

still I buy them anyway

I can't stand looking in the mirror

Because it always makes me say:



I look at you

Your body's lean and great

I see myself

I'm really overwieght

I'd diet, but

I think it's much too late

I guess I'm just supposed to be



Never thin



I'm always in the kitchen

Eating all the things I bake

Four dozen oatmeal cookies

And my double-chocolate cake

I don't have time for exercising

It's such hard work for goodness sake



I look at you

Your body's lean and great

I see myself

I'm really overwieght

I'd diet, but

I think it's much too late

I guess I'm just supposed to be



Never thin



And everybody's fit and trim from being at the gym

But I have yet to break a sweat

'Cause I've got it made

I've got it made

I've got it made
