"You Ain't Screamed "Nelson" Yet!" by Rick Cormier
a parody of "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet" by Bachman Turner Overdrive
This is a parody about a poor shmuck with a nervous stutter, whose girlfriend keeps yelling out different names during sex but, none of them are his. I submitted the parody to Amiright five years ago but, just got around to recording it.

The Repetitive Lyrics: Takin' care of business ...
Why They're Repetitive: Let's see, they say it four times in each chorus, then repeat it ad infinitum at the end (which once prompted me to ask a friend, 'Hey, what was the name of that bto song they just played?'). No wonder I once heard them called Bathroom Toilet Overflush.

Inappropriate Song Lyrics:
"Taking Care Of Business"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: I'm taking care of my business!
Why They're Inappropriate: When I was a kid "business" was a "polite" word in my family to refer to your ding dong. "taking care of one's business", is a reference to polishing your sex pistol or to something else?

Dirty Song Lyrics:
"You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet"
The Dirty Lyrics: She took me to her doctor
And he gave me the cure He said "Any loving is good loving". So I took what I could get, yes I took what I could get And then she looked at me with those big brown eyes, and she said - "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet"... Why They're Dirty: This looks like one of the first rock songs to mention someone getting the CLAP. After treatment he comes back to the girl for more!

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics:
"You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet"
The Lyrics: You ain't seen nothing yet.
Why: I know that they at least USED TO teach in school that "ain't" is not a grammatically correct word. Its use has increased nonetheless. But even if it has been gramatically sanctioned by now, "ain't seen nothing" is still a double negative. making it incorrect English. Another issue to consider is whether the word "ain't' in its increasing acceptedness should be allowed to cover the territory of "haven't" as well as that of "isn't", "aren't" or "am not". The usual colloquial function of "ain't" is as a negative form of the verb "to be". But in a few phrases, like in this song's title line, it becomes a negative form of the verb "to have", since the standard way of stating the line is "You haven't seen anything yet", not "You aren't seen anything yet". So it is fair to question, however acceptable "ain't" becomes in lieu of "am not", "aren't" or "isn't", should it be further stretched to sometimes mean "haven't" or "hasn't"?
