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.
