a parody of "I Believe I Can Fly" by R Kelly
I figured that since R Kelly was officially convicted (well deservingly, I might add), it would be a perfect opportunity to do a parody of one of his songs. I decided on "I Believe I Can Fly" because it fits well with "I'm The Creepiest Guy".

"I Believe I Can Fly"
Better Lyrics:
Kellyanne Conway sings:

I believe I can lie
I believe I can smile and lie
I can spew lies every night and day
Media that I hope to sway
I believe I can roar
Say it louder than ever before
I believe I can lie
I do often deny
Alt.facts from me to you...
Original Lyrics:
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door

I believe I can fly

I stole a plane from the FBI

All I wanted was a chicken wing

From McDonald's or Burger King

I believe I can fly

I stole a plane from the FBI

All I wanted was a Popsicle

But I ended up in the hospital
Original Lyrics:
I believe I can fly

I believe I can touch the sky

I think about it every night and day

Spread my wings and fly away

I believe I can soar

I see me running through that open door

I believe I can fly

Funniest Song Lyrics:

"Trapped In The Closet (Chapter 4)"
The Funny Lyrics:
Then she cries out
'Oh my goodness, I'm about to climax'
Why They're Funny:
Hearing the whole five chapters consecutively (along with the video) almost made me literally explode with incessant laughter but it was this section that is the icing on the cake. Sorry, but if two people are having sex with one another and one is about to climax, I doubt with every percent of seriousness that the climaxer would be so aristocratic and contemplative with his/her raptured utterance as to say something like: 'by Jove, my darling, it appears that I am becoming so aroused I'm en route to experiencing a climax'. And for such a scenario to be conjured by someone like R. Kelly, the notion is even more the ludicrous.

The Repetitive Lyrics:
Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce

Didn't spend a lot of time thinking about the lyrics there, did you, R.? Then again, it's probably hard to think of more creative lyrics when you're in the back of a squad car.

Kelly (which he himself has denied), artists such as Lady Gaga and CĂ©line Dion who worked with him in the past removed their collaborations from streaming services, his label RCA Records dropped him after facing pressure from the public using the #MuteRKelly hashtag, and many urban contemporary radio stations in various markets decided to no longer play his music as a result.
