Song Parody Fragments:

"White Lightning"
Better Lyrics:
Ssssh! Wake up!
Original Lyrics:
Ssssh! Hiccup!
Submitted by: Mike Hack

Funny Lyrics:

"White Lightning"
The Funny Lyrics:
mighty mighty pleasing pappy's corn squeezing ssssh (hiccup) 'white lightning' (later...) lightning started flashin' thunder started crashing ssssh (hiccup) 'white lightning'
Why They're Funny:
George Jones's hiccups sound a lot funny! 'Ssssh' is the name of the album by Ten Years After. 'Hiccup' sounds more like 'wake up' to me.
