Parody

Your assignment is to create a parody of the song of your choice.  In other words, take a song you know, and change the lyrics to make them humorous.  Choosing one humorous topic as the theme of your parody is the most successful way to attack this task.

There are numerous examples on the internet...YES, FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW YOU ARE ALLOWED TO "SURF THE NET."  View a few examples.

This assignment is due tomorrow at the end of class.  When you post, be sure to include a link to the song you are parodying.

Have fun.  Yes, it's difficult.  And yes, EVERYONE has to do this assignment.

    Whoa, oh, oh
    Whoa, oh, oh
    Whoa, oh, oh
    Whoa

    I’m waking up, feeling numb
    I wipe my brow and I resist my urge
    I’m taking in the side-effects

    I’m breaking in, shaping up, then checking out of the hospital
    This is it, my punishment
    Whoa

    I’m waking up; I feel it in my gut
    Enough to make my system blow
    Welcome to the new age, to the new age
    Welcome to the new age, to the new age
    Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I need Activia, I need Activia
    Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I need Activia, I need Activia

    I raise my chest, feel the pain
    It’s indigestion, I suppose
    We keep it in to fit right in
    Whoa

    I’m breaking in, shaping up, then checking out of the hospital
    This is it, my punishment
    Whoa

    I’m waking up; I feel it in my gut
    Enough to make my system blow
    Welcome to the new age, to the new age
    Welcome to the new age, to the new age
    Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I need Activia, I need Activia
    Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I need Activia, I need Activia

    All systems go, my gut hasn’t died
    Deep in my middle, straight from inside
    I’m waking up; I feel it in my gut
    Enough to make my system blow
    Welcome to the new age, to the new age
    Welcome to the new age, to the new age
    Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I’ve got Activia, I’ve got Activia
    Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I’ve got Activia, I’ve got Activia

    Parody for Blue Bird by Christina Perri

    -Little Horsey-

    How the hell does a cow lose weight, when all it eats is grass and it’s still so fat?
    Teach itself to starve? Grumbling stomach, bruum bruum bruum bruum.

    This little horsey, came galloping along.
    I thought about you somehow, I don’t know why.
    And this little horsey, was skinny and strong.
    And I could not help it again, I thought about you.

    Don’t you think it was hard? You’ve always been such a good friend. But when I see you moo-ing around… I think, you’re such a fat cow.

    But this little horsey, sure looks better than you
    If you were skinny like her, you’d be better than all the rest.
    And you know-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow, skinny beats fat.
    If you were so much skinnier, I wouldn’t have this song.

    & don’t you think it was hard? You’ve always been such a good friend. But when I see you moo-ing around… I think, you’re such a fat cow!

    How the hell does a cow lose weight, when all it eats is grass and it’s still so fat?
    Teach itself to starve? Grumbling stomach, bruum bruum bruum bruum. //
    Grumbling stomach, bruum, bruum,bruum.

    This little horsey, should give you some hope.
    If you gallop like her, you might beat…her.

  5. “Next Fat Loser”, Parody of Nickelback’s,” Next Contestant”

    I judge by what wrapper they’re wearing
    Just how many Twinkies I'm selling
    To fatties drooling on to them
    Each night seems like it's getting worse

    And I wish we’d take the night off
    So I don't have to fight off
    Every fat guy drooling on to them
    It happens every night I work

    They'll go and ask Edle Seraspe
    Find out just what would she say
    If they all tried drooling on to them
    Don't they know it's never going to work

    They think they'll get they’re hands on them
    With every glance they shoot them
    As they all try drooling on to them
    This time somebody's getting hurt
    Here comes the next fat loser

    Is that your drool on my Twinkie?
    Is that your drool?
    I wish you'd do it again
    I'll watch you leave here limping
    I wish you'd do it again
    I'll watch you leave here limping
    There goes the next fat loser

    I even fear the ladies
    They're cool but twice as hungry
    Just as bad for drooling on to them
    Don't they know it's never going to work

    Each time they change their design
    Somebody grabs them from behind
    Everyone keeps drooling on to them
    This time somebody's getting hurt
    Here comes the next fat loser

    Is that your drool on my Twinkie?
    Is that your drool?
    I wish you'd do it again
    I'll watch you leave here limping
    I wish you'd do it again
    I'll watch you leave here limping
    There goes the next fat loser

    I'm hating that wrapper they’re wearing
    Everybody here keeps staring
    Can't wait 'til they get what they deserve
    This time somebody's getting hurt
    Here comes the next fat loser

    Is that your drool on my Twinkie?
    Is that your drool?
    I wish you'd do it again
    I'll watch you leave here limping
    I wish you'd do it again
    I'll watch you leave here limping

    I wish you'd do it again
    Each night seems like it's getting worse
    I wish you'd do it again
    This time somebody's getting hurt
    There goes the next fat loser

    Parody for Clarity by Zedd

    Why are you still here when I hate all of your guts
    Hate you more than anything, go die in a ditch
    Go leave before I yell because we both know how this ends
    Here goes my fist in your face and there goes your teeth

    You left me for a piece of food I wish you didn’t need
    Chasing relentlessly, still fat and we both know why

    If your lumps is tragedy, why is it your melody?
    If our love lasted, we need new bags of plastic!

    (Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey)

    If your lumps is tragedy, why is it your melody?
    If our love lasted, we need new bags of plastic!

    Roll through a buffet and refuse to give up any food
    Your food falls to the ground and it makes you begin to cry
    Don’t speak as you try to leave ‘cause you’ll ask for food again
    If you ask you need to spend more money that you don’t have

    You left me for a piece of food I wish you didn’t need
    Chasing relentlessly, still fat and we both know why

    If your lumps is tragedy, why is it your melody?
    If our love lasted, we need new bags of plastic!

    (Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey)

    Why is it you melody?
    We need new bags of plastic!
    Why is it your melody?
    We need new bags of plastic!

    If your lumps is tragedy, why is it your melody?
    If our love lasted, we need new bags of plastic!

  7. Ryan P. Tunison’s Parody of Sick Puppies’ Connect; clever enough, it is titled Disconnect

    There could be a thousand miles between us
    Yet I still can’t help that you’re inside my head
    There is nothing I could say
    You chose him instead

    I want to disconnect from you
    Over the tears you cried on my shoulder
    I want to disconnect from you

    I can’t stand being beside you
    My mind is raging
    How can I see him with you?
    I have to stop myself from engaging
    When the only thing left to do is disconnect from you

    Can my silence be redefining?
    You know my heart races when I break down your door
    I ask but you don’t care to answer
    You know I’ve been through this before

    I want to disconnect from you
    Over the tears you cried on my shoulder
    I want to disconnect from you

    I can’t stand being beside you
    My mind is raging
    How can I see him with you?
    I have to stop myself from engaging
    When the only thing left to do is disconnect from you

    How could I measure my distance?
    I feel the pain as you carelessly play with my heart
    I want you and me to be together
    But you wish to be a thousand miles apart
    And you think that would stop me

    I want to disconnect from you
    Over the tears you cried on my shoulder
    I want to disconnect from you

    I can’t stand being beside you
    My mind is raging
    How can I see him with you?
    I have to stop myself from engaging
    When the only thing left to do is disconnect from you

  9. Clowns surrounds
    My heart is beating faster
    I won’t take this creepy life
    I won’t look, I refuse!

    This is how it feels when the fear is spoken
    This is how it feels when your secrets broken
    When your fear gets out
    You have to hide from those evil clowns

    I woke up today with a smile on my face
    And then I saw the clown

    No, not getting pied today
    We're gonna go and duck for cover
    (Don’t look at their face)
    No, not getting pied today
    We're gonna run as fast as we can
    No, we’re not getting pied today

    Pop balloons
    'Cause it will make them cry
    They can’t make me happy
    when they make those animals

    This is how it feels when you overcome fear
    This is how it feels when take that pie back
    When they pie me I pie them back
    the pie will never give me fear

    I woke up today with a smile on my face
    And then I saw the clown
    No, not getting pied today
    We're gonna go and duck for cover
    (Don’t look at their face)
    No, not getting pied today
    We're gonna run as fast as we can
    No, we’re not getting pied today

    The fear will disappear
    My life will be normal
    This is how it feels when you overcome fear
    This is how it feels when take pie back

    No, not getting pied today
    We're gonna go and duck for cover
    (Don’t look their face)
    No, not getting pied today
    We're gonna run as fast as we can
    No, we’re not getting pied today
    No, we’re not getting pied today

    Not getting pied
    (Not getting pied)
    Not getting pied
    (Not getting pied)
    Not getting pied today

  10. When I find you in times of despair
    My mother always hunts for me
    Shouting words of contempt
    And in my only hour of peace
    She is fuming right in front of me
    Shouting words of contempt, get away from me
    Get away from me, get away from me
    Get away from me, get away from me
    Screaming words of hatred, get away from me

    And when the most content of people
    Living in the world agree
    There will be some problems, get away from me
    For though they may be here
    There is not a chance that they will see
    There will be some problems, get away from me
    Get away from me, get away from me
    Get away from me, get away from me
    Yeah there will be some problems, get away from me
    Get away from me, get away from me
    Get away from me, get away from me
    Screaming words of hatred, get away from me

    Get away from me, get away from me
    Ah get away from me, yeah get away from me
    Screaming words of hatred, get away from me
    And when the night is luminous
    There is never a light that aims for me
    Shine on until tomorrow, get away from me
    I wake up to the sound of music,
    My mother always hunts for me
    Shouting words of contempt, get away from me
    Yeah get away from me, get away from me
    Get away from me, yeah get away from me
    Oh there will be an answer, get away from me
    Get away from me, get away from me
    Get away from me, yeah get away from me
    Oh there will be some problems, get away from me
    get away from me, get away from me
    Ah get away from me, yeah get away from me
    Screaming words of hatred, get away from me

  12. Dude, That’s Not Your House

    There’s some dude on my couch wearing little booties.
    Like the booties that don’t need a zipper to come off
    And there’s a bag. A bag of Cheetos.
    And his hand’s still in there, which is kinda weird. Oh yes it is.

    Wait, there’s another. Another dude
    And he’s passed out on the floor in the kitchen.
    How’d they get here? I know I’m not to blame.
    Maybe if I just go back to bed, they’ll be gone soon.

    I go back upstairs and climb into bed
    But who do I find beside me now?
    Another Cheeto-dude is passed out on my pillow
    And his face is painted orange and yellow and blue.

    Going back to bed’s not an option, so I go to the TV room.
    But it’s not surprise who’s in there.
    Twelve more dudes are passed out in my living room.
    And now this is a problem cuz I have nowhere to go.

    I get that I’m groggy and that I shouldn’t have ingested all that last night,
    But there’s no reason why these strangers should be here.
    Then I get this feeling as I enter the kitchen.
    This isn’t my home, so I should probably leave these dudes' house.

    Yeah, yeah
    I hate you more than anything
    The words don’t ever come out nice
    No, oh

    When I try to explain it I be sounding so insane
    The mean words always come out
    I get all loud (and heated)
    I can't explain what I'm feeling
    And I say enemy, enemy, enemy

    (Enemy I) ooh enemy, oh enemy, my enemy
    (Enemy I) ooh enemy, enemy I
    All I'm tryna say is you're disgusting enemy and I hate you

    If it's even possible, I’d hate you more
    Than the word hate can say it
    It's better not explaining
    That's why I keep saying... Enemy I

    (Enemy I) ooh enemy, enemy I
    All I'm tryna say is you're disgusting enemy and I hate you

  15. Used to Shower

    Maybe it’s me, maybe I smelt bad.
    No, no, it’s my fault, cuz I look so bad.
    Maybe baby, some cologne could change that.
    But I still would look so bad.
    Cuz I just couldn't control that.

    Baby when I used to smell good,
    Nothing kept me from you.
    I showered three times for you,
    Anything you asked me to.
    But I got tired of being washed,
    the water bill was just too high.
    Realize that I do bathe now,
    Just not how I used to.

    Now maybe I should start to shave soon.
    Use some lotion
    that smells like honey.
    It's really not my fault
    I'm fat, I smell.
    You are the cause,
    cuz all you did was cook good.

    Baby when I used to smell good,
    Nothing kept me from you.

    Baby no, not anymore.
    Not three times no more.
    Oh I used to, shower.
    But I don't want to no more.
    I won't bathe now.

    Baby when I used to smell good,
    Nothing kept me from you.
    I showered three times for you,
    Anything you asked me to.
    But I got tired of being washed,
    the water bill was just too high.
    Realize that I do bathe now,
    Just not how I used to.

    Oh I used to,
    bathe more.
    Used to, bathe more.
    Used to, shower.
    Baby no, not anymore.
    Not three times no more.
    But I don't want to no more.
    I won't bathe now.

    Used to Love You
