| Original Song Title: | "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" |
| Original Performer: | Green Day |
| Parody Song Title: | "I Wok Alone" |
| Parody Written by: | 2nz |
You come in and have great food. You eat well, but watch out. You get fat, it not my fault. Don't sue me because you fat.
I have a store I own
I make Chow Fun and everything home-grown
Sit in modest throne
It be home to me and I wok alone
I wok this empty seed
Grew it in the yard, cook jumbo steamed
Nothing now I knead
and I wok tons of wons and I wok alone
I wok alone
I wok alone
I wok alone
I wok a-
Like Shaolin, train for cooking many hour
White fellow, see my culinary power
Good times I dish some buns of sweet and sour
For you I wok alone
You shy? Come by, and try, deep-fry
A-mong, Foo-Young, Well-hung
I wok in ev'ry size
Something nice for foreign girls and guys
With their funny eyes
I no judge and always wok alone
Taste buds go for ride
All ducked up with Peking sauce on side
Some cannot decide
I say “NO SAUCE FOR YOU” and I wok alone
I wok alone
I wok alone
I wok alone
I wok a-
Like Shaolin, I am at one with my ginsu
White fellow, put down fork, use sticks as I do
Good times I dish some fun in plates of Moo Shu
And always wok alone
It rain? Re-main, in-sane, Chowww-mein
Big stain, re-frain
I wok alone
I wok a-
(Live Stir-fry solo)
I wok all beef and meat
If it get too hard, it jumbo-steamed
My stuff hard to beat
Some ‘wons and ‘meins and ‘funs and I wok a-
Like Shaolin, never had a drink at Starbucks
White fellow, try some beef and my Peking ducks
If place has buffet then you know that it sucks
That why I wok alone-
(During the final instrumental, the chef comes out and does the best juggling tricks you've ever seen with his cooking utensils)

Absolute classic, 2nz...too many fave lines to choose, but "If place has buffet then you know that it sucks" comes close...bravo! 555
FAB, 2nzy!! I love it! =)
I'll be listening to this on my wokman on the way home!
Excellent; pacing is really great. I could sing it along with the music and it's 99.9% syllable-perfect. Awesome parody.
I love this! Something to sing while VH1 and MTV play it over and over and over tonight. 5-5-5
"Good times I dish some buns of sweet and sour"--Now if that's not poetry I don't know what is (actually I *don't* know what is, but I do know what I like). Tasty stuff.
Kristof, you honor my buffet-less restaurant
Arwen, you have FABulous name. I turn into new dish, called Spicy Ar Wen Pow
Jeff, watch where you wok... man. I sorry, but no electric devices in store
AstroMike, I am 99.9% honored, and I throw in extra fortune cookie for last .01%
Spark, I not know VH1, but just for you I make VHWontons
Claude, there is old proverb that he who knows has forgotten how to think. I not know what it means, but for you I get free sweet and sour sauce

HUZZUAHHHH!!!! This thing is SO f'in awesome. Just the fact you parodied the song and managed to not really change the whole "I walk alone" deal. :) Pure Genius.
Parody sugestion: Wok this way by Aerosmith
Hah.. I say "NO SAUCE FOR YOU!" hehe...man, this was the funniest f'in parody of this song...one of the best parodies I've ever read! Keep it up; I look forward to reading more of your parodies. 5-5-5! Parody Suggestion: Jesus Woks - Kanye West
CaptainMoose, I not know what 'Genius' mean, but all ingredients are pure as flower blossoms. I get you some Wonton soup so you see. Many thank yous.
Lionel, you not say whether you like food or not, but I assume you have good taste, and anyone with good taste like my food.
Captain Obvious, you honor me. I figure it work for Soup Nazi so why not?

Grrreat rhymes throughout, Looney 2nz. Other highlights: "NO SAUCE FOR YOU" and the juggling solo. Since everyone's piping in with suggestions, how 'bout "I Wokked the Dog" to "I Fought the Law"? And since you plugged yours on mine, here's one more for you: http://www.spaff.com/poesy/malone.html
Spaff, I no wok dog. That tabloid rumor. I like other parody on your website. Now leave me malone.
(SOTM) Dis tastier than week-old prawn cracker...ve'y good, missa Toons!
(SOTM) DKTOS, but the lyrics are a scream.
IHTOS (I hate the original song), but this parody is absolutely fantastic. It should appeal to people of all woks of life. 555.
(sotm) Another parody fresh from the wok. :-)
(SOTM) Wok, wok on! Loved "and I wok tons of wons". Deep-fried entertainment here, 2nz. Votey votey 5 dollar?
(SOTM) Excellent one, 2nz 5's
A wok-up call for food parodists everywhere.
What Spaff said. Thanks for this wok on the wild side.
(SOTM) Heh heh heh ... now, for a sequel, you can do the Pu-Pu-Platter-Carousel "You'll Never Wok Alone".
..you'll neeeeever wooooook aaaalooooone" I can just hear the Chinese Kop Contingent singing that at Anfield. Damn, JD you beat me to it. Like it, 2nz :-)
(SOTM) Five fortune cookies for you!
(SOTM) One of the two best 'Boulevard' songs in the competition ;-) Great work.
SOTM--still FAB, 2nz...still love it!
sotm - your accented parodies are killers 2nz - and no Seinfeld fan could not love the "I say “NO SAUCE FOR YOU” " line - brilliant stuff - 555
What everybody else said. Very clever parody with lots of good lines, and the "tons of wons" stood out for me.
What Jeff said!
Back again for more already. Your stuff hard to beat.
Kristof, my name have 'z' in it. And it not week old, it week-long seasoned.
Guy, you kidding right? You no see link Spaff provide? If you no have good net connection I contact my friend in Wok-mafia. He no good with electronic but he make sure you upgrade... he make very sure.
Charlie, you inspire my new dish, the 'Wok of Life'. It provide ever-lasting life as long as person lives.
Scathe, you honor my fresh food. I try find squinty smiley face, but keyboard no have.
Luke, if you want deep-fry, I need 5 more dollar. Many thank yous.
Adagio, you honor me. You mean 'Excellent won' right?
If you not mentioned yet, no worries. I make large order of your favorite food and be back to give you witty comment soon.

Definitely worthy of a bronze medal...perhaps a Silver one to match the wok? You wokked my world!
Many thank yous Agri. Is OK, until place does better I no have silver wok anyway.
HAHAHAHA thats so frikken funny
Pure genius, best parody I have heard I just wish I could have voted
Wow, many many new votes. My thank yous.
Hey, I found this recording and it's 99% my parody. I'm not mad so much as honored and curious. I would very much like to know who recorded it. I would have preferred that you ask me first, but really all I want is the credit for writing it. The fact is, someone recorded it and I'd like to know 1) if that person would list me as the author of the lyrics on their site and 2) if that person would want to have it listed on Amiright's front page as a recording. The link to the site I found it on is here:

Owww! Your parody hurt my abs... and I'm still laughing! "I Wok Alone" is hilarious!! The recorded version was funny, as well. I hope the recording artist contacts you soon. I must share this load of chuckles. Thank you! :)
this is funny
hehe
(SOTY 2005) Still a hilarious persona and fine effort in matching internal rhymes throughout. I suppose Green Day refers to everybody's complexion upon finding out what that chicken REALLY was...
(SOTY 05) This mutha earned 93 VOTES! Wowwsers! Wokkin' and wollin'!
(2005 SOTY) I thought I commented on this before; this is hilarious Glen. I only vaguely knew TOS until the d/l; the pacing is perfect too (evidenced by the fact some theiving douche recorded this w/o your permission). Also loved what you did you the OS "ah-ah" parts.
is this wok and woll? hell yes! in vanity i googled my name and got this. ENTERTAINMENT one of the best parodies evAr.
HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH THAT PARODY SO FUNNY I NO STOP LAUGHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (in normAL VOICE, WITHOUT ACCENT) THAT PARODY REMINDS ME OF WHEN BILLIE AND MIKE WERE MAKING FUN OF WILLIAM HUNG ON 100%: (MIKE:) "OH, I CAN BEAT/TOP IT! WILLIAM HUNG FROM AMERICAN IDOL! SHE BANG!!!! SHE BANG!!!! (BILLIE:) "YEAH, HE SING FROM DA HOT!!!!" (NOTE: I DON'T KNOW WHO THEY WERE TRYING TO TOP, SO COULD SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER THAT FOR ME IN ANOTHER COMMENT? THANKS!) THAT MIGHT JUST BE MY FAVORITE PART OF THAT EPISODE OF 100% JUST BECAUSE OF THAT PART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE EPISODE OF AMERICAN IDOL WHEN WILLIAM HUNG DOES THAT SONG IS MY FAVE 4 THE SAME REASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OTHER THAN THAT, I HATE AMERICAN IDOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TO THE EDITORS, PLEASE POST THIS COMMENT IN ITS ENTIRETY. I KNOW ITS VERY LONG AND A LITTLE OFF-TOPIC, BUT ITS A COOL COMMENT. THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, 95 votes and counting, and worth every one. TMGLTM but this time through I appreciated the sheer randomness of "well-hung." Oh, and I have dibs on " Well you can tell by the way I use my wok / I'm a Chinaman, no time to talk." Also, PLEASE POST THIS COMMENT IN ITS ENTIRETY. I KNOW ITS VERY LONG AND A LITTLE OFF-TOPIC, BUT ITS A COOL COMMENT. THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is AWESOME1 555! and LOL at the parody Spaff started
Just read/sang this to mysewlf with the OS playing,wanted to say once again.AWESOME!
This is truly a beutiful thing.
