"Habanero," Rex Ungericht parody of "Desperado,"The Eagles, Comment by Max Power Report this comment
Tried one raw, I became a sweaty mess and even when I rinsed, the effect still lasted for several hours. Plus when I rinsed, the water became bubbly...to think there's even stronger peppers than that. They used ghost peppers in "1,000 Ways to Die!"

Thought-provoking article and thought-provoking parody, Melanie. But why no verse on why Tsarnaev's wife and other family members declined to bury him?

Thanks for the comments. BTW, Barry J. Mitchel, how do you like the conservatism and corruption where you now live? (Everyplace has some sort of corruption!) :)
"Both Sides Now (US Left- And Right-Wing Follow-Up)," Tommy Turtle parody of "Both Sides Now,"Judy Collins, Comment by Tommy Turtle Report this comment
Garrett does indeed sound like he saw it all coming. History repeats itself, because we never learn from it. "The Driver" - inspiration, indeed, but the coincidences in character name -- naah, John Galt didn't run a railroad. The Taggarts did, but railroads were a much larger part of the economy in the 1920s-1950s than they are today. So it would be natural for the industrialists to include rail, steel, etc., before iPods became the economic engine. Thanks for following the comment, revisiting, and adding some interesting info.

"#OverBella," brightCAP parody of "Umbrella,"Rihanna, Comment by Abbott Skelding Report this comment
I love this for the reason that Grim mentioned...it's perfect for a non-fan to get! I've never seen any of the movies (thank goodness) but I know enough to pick up on everything and this was hilarious! Fun to sing along to and to imagine what would happen if a new book came out! Great work!
"Patrol The Pool," Blaydeman parody of "Control Myself,"LL Cool J, Comment by Abbott Skelding Report this comment
Never heard the OS before, but I really liked the title switch...and I agree with Matty that the pacing was pretty spot on. However, it didn't really make me laugh out loud, even though you really put a lot of detail in there and described the character really well. Good job!
"Phyllis Diller," Agrimorfee parody of "Thriller,"Michael Jackson, Comment by Abbott Skelding Report this comment
I can really only appreciate this parody, as most (all) of the references went over my head. Always difficult to pull off a good "Thriller" parody, but you did a nice job tackling it.
"Please Yourself," Red Ant parody of "Be Yourself,"Audioslave, Comment by Abbott Skelding Report this comment
Great OS and simple title switch. A lot of great lines in here for this risqué number. The only take away for me is that you could have changed up the "is all that you can do" lines...other than that, great 'job'! haha
"Pepsi or Coke," the_conqueror_of_parodies parody of "Telephone,"Lady Gaga, Comment by Abbott Skelding Report this comment
I really love the OS (along with anything Gaga does haha) and I have to say that I am more of a Coke than Pepsi person (Vanilla Coke > Coke Zero > Regular Coke > Diet Coke). Gotta agree with Matty that the topic got kind of stretched out, but a lot of good stuff in here regardless (really liked how the Diet Coke and Pepsi Max lines worked well with the original song). Not your best, but still pretty good.
"Ooh La La A Thong," Max Power parody of "Ooh, La La, Sasson,"Sasson Commercial, Comment by Abbott Skelding Report this comment
Never seen the original commercial before (or heard the song), but just reading the lyrics made me laugh out loud...great job!
"Play In Nate's Garage," Matthias parody of "Say It Ain't So,"Weezer, Comment by Abbott Skelding Report this comment
Great job! I love the OS, so points there, and I know what it is like to be in a garage band...me and my brothers were in a band called The Sporksters performing covers and my parodies. But we only performed three times and that was it...hopefully Plumber's Fire (great name) can do better than that!
"Both Sides Now (US Left- And Right-Wing Follow-Up)," Tommy Turtle parody of "Both Sides Now,"Judy Collins, Comment by Patrick Report this comment
Found an old book "Rise of Empire" by Garet Garrett, an Old Right or Classical Liberal author who opposed Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal and foreign policy. This book, published in 1952, sounds as though it were written today. All powerful executive, declarations of war without a vote by an increasingly impotent congress. Garrett's 1920's novel "The Driver" has been cited as a possible source for certain plot elements of Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged". The principal character is named Henry Galt, and runs a railroad. "Secret of the League" by Ernest Bramah features a strike by the industrial class, led by a man named "Salt". In 1898 the feds imposed a tax on telephones to fund the war with Spain. No one cared because how many people had phones in 1898? The tax was still around over 100 years later. I wouldn't be surprised in the American Revolution Bicentennial Commission was still meeting somewhere and collecting salaries.

It does explain why the parody structure was a bit raw, the lyrics made up for it.

"The Liar," CryHavoc parody of "The Boxer,"Simon & Garfunkel, Comment by Japanese Method Report this comment
The only convincing apology anyone in this lawless regime could offer for their treasonous crimes against America and its citizens would be to commit seppuku.
"Pepsi or Coke," the_conqueror_of_parodies parody of "Telephone,"Lady Gaga, Comment by Agrimorfee Report this comment
You are an Aspie? Huh, there are many amirighters "on the spectrum'; my son is, too. Anyhow, Coke is definitely sweeter than Pepsi. For a Lady Gaga parody, you need epic lyrics, and this didnt quite come to that level.
"Poor Eunuch Norm," Abbott Skelding parody of "The Unicorn Song,"The Irish Rovers, Comment by Agrimorfee Report this comment
INSPIRED WRITING. This is probably your best parody, ever. I had tears rolling down my face with this one. If I could vote 666, I would but that would be evil.
"The Liar," CryHavoc parody of "The Boxer,"Simon & Garfunkel, Comment by Callmelennie Report this comment
If resigning means leaving when your appointed term is over in June, then I guess you can say that the IRS director has been forced to resign. I'm assuming, Cry, that you weren't aware of this part of the damage control --- even people like yourself who assume from the outset that everything the Obama Administration says is a lie don't always grasp the relentlessness of the lying
"This Land Is My Land," David Pratter parody of "This Land Is Your Land,"Woody Guthrie, Comment by Patrick Report this comment
My parody of this song is one of my highest rated as well. Told from the point of view of the natives who muse exploit white men's vices (gambling, tobacco) to survive. New generation of immigrants about to cross the border and make it "nuestra tierra". From the dates of the comments, this parody has staying power.
"Will I Have Money Tomorrow?," David Pratter parody of "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?,"Shirelles, Comment by Patrick Report this comment
This was posted long before I ever heard of the site. But the theme still resonates nearly 10 years later. I agree that familiarity with the original song is a big factor in whether or not anyone reads your parody. I usually don't look at songs when I'm not familiar with the original.
"The Liar," CryHavoc parody of "The Boxer,"Simon & Garfunkel, Comment by Patrick Report this comment
Fear of the Waffen-IRSS is the only thing that keeps the monster in Washington alive. To reform it would be political suicide. It will never be done by this or any future Congress. A few low-level flunkies may be packed off to a special country club "prison" the system has created for its own, when public opinion needs to be appeased. But the real revolutionary change will not be allowed, at any cost.

"Pepsi or Coke," the_conqueror_of_parodies parody of "Telephone,"Lady Gaga, Comment by Matthias Report this comment
Topic too simplistic got stretched a little here, I think. I also think that you're getting too defensive over something that really doesn't matter. If they both taste the same then just order one and not the other. Not the biggest deal in the world. An alright parody overall though.
"Poor Eunuch Norm," Abbott Skelding parody of "The Unicorn Song,"The Irish Rovers, Comment by Matthias Report this comment
Can't believe I didn't comment on this one. I remember reading it and thinking that it was HILARIOUS! This was a great concept and an unusual original song to choose. Not sure when you posted this one (so maybe it wasn't so unusual if it was up around Saint Patty's Day) but this was great!

Red Ant your perverted comedy is fantastic. Where would we be without it? In a much safer and G-rated place for sure.

This was a good tribute. It's sad that she kicked it so shortly after you wrote this parody about her. She's a great comedian. I loved her in "Mad Monster Party?"
"Patrol The Pool," Blaydeman parody of "Control Myself,"LL Cool J, Comment by Matthias Report this comment
Still disagree with Dave. The pacing rocked! This one was hilarious! I worked as a Lifeguard and I can totally relate to this one and I like the fact that all these people talking to the character work so well into the parody.

This was a good religious song. It's a little weird seeing that God is the only one who has a soft spot for this terrorist but it does make sense since God forgives all.

I have to agree with Blayde, somehow you made this embarrassing subject kinda charming. In a episode of "Leave It To Beaver" kind of way...although, I think I've seen "Leave It To Beaver" as a risqué title once before...or so I've heard. Great work!

"#OverBella," brightCAP parody of "Umbrella,"Rihanna, Comment by Agrimorfee Report this comment
I like this for many reasons: the singability (in addition to the pacing), the concept the pop cultishness of it is just enough info for a nonfan to get, and a lovely twist at the end. for myself, I will get over bella, but I dont think I will get over Macho Grande. ;)

"Ford P.O.S.," Matthias parody of "Little Deuce Coupe,"Beach Boys, Comment by James Report this comment
My first car was a yellow Oldsmobile, and it was a LEMON. My second was a Ford Futura. It was 2 cylinder so it wasn't First On Race Day but it wasn't Figure On Repairs Daily either. It delivered the goods, took me to Canada and back a few times. Well done. However, if you really want to see a POS look at a Yugo. Exporting those junkers was banned once the genocidal Yugoslavia breakup wars erupted. Yugo cars ceased in production only after YUGOslavia was extinct. Go figure.
"Hey there Delilah (Samson)," Tim Hawkins parody of "Hey There Delilah,"Plain White T's, Comment by Callmelennie Report this comment
You're not going to get much love for this because you're new, which means you'll be ignored for a while .. AND because this is a fairly secularized site. I would guess the Venn diagram intersection of church going Christians and fans of the original song isn't too big. Still In all, I thought it was a good effort
"Caused Shockwaves," Robert D. Arndt Jr. parody of "Life's Highways (ROS),"M.J. Cobia, Comment by Visitor Report this comment
Are we to read the first line as "It is compression rounds..."?
Is this submission funny and/or is it a spoof of the original song? The answer is No! Therefore, it does not meet the criteria of "parody," and should not have been published. But don't be upset. Other authors are represented on this site with mere word-substitution exercises.
For the reasons stated above, this gets all 1s.

Nice use of the song against itself! The spelling out of the word might've been more effective if it were the same number of letters as "bananas" but it's understandable that you wanted to include "ear-itate." Favorite line: "my was-ted Andrew Jack-son"

No, there was no secret of the prosperity of the Clinton Years. Everyone knows the reason Clinton gave us the best economy ever: He raised taxes on the rich. Job creation has NOT come to a standstill, it's been happening since the fall of '09 when Obama's first budget took effect. Look, if you're going to be a right-winger, I can't stop you.
