| Parody Written by: | Phil Alexander |
The slightly expurgated version.. but face it guys, if there was anybody in the world you'd like to be, wouldn't you wanna be Jay?
I got an email with some odd videos
I fired 'em up with all the doors closed
There was a girl, she was playing a game
And it had a strange somewhat foreign name:
Fella-rella-ratio
Then it came to me that I had to know
So round to my girlfriend's, I had to go
To give me an answer, 'cause I had to see
If she would do this odd-named thing for me:
Fertilla-Horatio
Said I want to be Jay
So come on and see
She says Jay is a guy
That I'm not gonna be
I smile and say "Yes?"
She frown and say "No
'Cause down is one place
That I simply won't go
You wanna be Jay
You've run out of luck
I ain't gonna play
And your attitude sucks
You wanna be Jay
Won't get to be Jay"
Trying again - is the answer still "no"?
Play a piped piece on the pork piccolo
Fellas, Cilla-she-say-No!
You wanna be Jay?
Still on about that?
Now please go away
'Cause I'm telling you flat
I ain't gonna kneel
Down there on the floor
'Cause that isn't what a head should be for
You wanna be Jay
Now you're out of luck
Now please go away
'Cause I don't give a... hoot
You wanna be Jay...
(D'Oh.. No be Jay..)
Sometimes you may get blown right away
And the whole thing comes out wrong
In the lottery draw last night
My numbers came up, and I've won
A million
Hmm... with my lottery cash, I might heal this schism
Oh, time to see
Does she still believe [in] vegetarianism?
Now I wanna be Jay
Come, tickle my itch
And think before you say
"No", 'cause I'm rich
You say that you know
You saw on the news
You're telling me "no"
That you cannot refuse
I wanna be Jay
You think it sounds fun
And you're getting a taste
Of what is to come
I wanna be Jay
I wanna be Jay
(Muffled:)
Gotta be Jay (repeat to org.. er.. fade)

"Play a piped piece on the pork piccolo", missed that during the recording. I'm glad you decided to rework this one a bit to get it in...err, that didn't come out right...neither did that. I guess I'll quit while I'm ahead...
That was awesome! 5s
Of course I wanna be Jay, but only with Silent Bob. And you can take that how you want.
nice bit of wordplay
Thanks, all :-)
Red Ant - well, it's difficult to enunciate clearly, under the circumstances

Hilarious. 555.
And this parody definatley made me wanna be jay. (wink wink nudge nudge)
Wunderbah, Phil! Loved the twist at the end, but the whole thing was magnificent. 555+
This one is begging to be recorded.
also...is it just me, or would these lyrics make perfect sense as an AC/DC song? haha. I'd say this is almost Bon Scott wordplay. good job again.
Chris, you're thinking of "The Jack?"
Chris - have to admit I'm thinking of re-recording this (you can find it at www.soundclick.com/philalexander) as the current recording isn't as subtle, more Brian Johnson (now aren't those appropriate initials?) than Bon Scott. Oh, and I forgot to mention: the storyline is rather nicked from "No! No! No!" by Ivor Biggun.
All the 5's!
(sorry, BJ's is the name of our local bingo hall! Makes for a fun night out!!)
