Song Parody Fragments:

"American Pie" by Don McLean
Better Lyrics:
Heartbeat, I'm looking for a heartbeat
Original Lyrics:
A long long time ago
I can still remember how
that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while.

But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died

(I started singing)
So bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
Then good old boys were
drinkin' whiskey and rye,
singin'
this'll be the day that I die.
This'll be the day that I die.
