Song Parodies -> Hey Yo!

Original Song Title:	"Hey Ya"
Original Performer:	Outkast

Parody Song Title:	"Hey Yo!"
Parody Written by:	Agrimorfee

This is a tribute to the King of Late Night, the one and only Mr. Johnny Carson. Younger readers will not understand many of the references in this song. If this parody were to be produced, it would contain a load of sound samples from the show, sounds of laughter, boos, and applause.

My baby she surfs around
Looks for a late night show
There is The Tonight Show
But we don't really want it
Just can't stand to see the fool Jay Leno
I sure got the feeling
That I'm not alone
He's not funny, and how!
Thank God we got the chance
To see Ed & John together
Carson's retired now

Hey yo, Hey yo!
Hey Yo! Hey Yo! (etc.)

Leno don't got it
Oh, he thinks he got it
But damn, he just don't get it
His show's nothing at all
We want The Johnny
Oh, we want The Johnny
Humor was always better
Jay's jokes have devolved
Now what I say is, "Carson Is Forever"
Now what is
Now what is
Now what is
Now what is
Now what is (Carnac? Carnac?)
The answer to the question
The hippo, hippo
Hippo, hippo, hippo
The zoo in San Diego
I thought Joan Embery was gonna be here
(Y'all want to see me
Let a chimp pee on my pants?)

Hey, yo! Hey Yo!
Hey, yo! Hey Yo! (etc.)

Oh! Oh!
Oh! Oh!
Could have been Let-ter-man
He was a bet-ter-man
Jim Fowler brought a llama
Jimmy Stewart read a po-ma!
Ah ((oh oh)
Ah...(oh oh)
Folks, let me be honest
Folks, let me be honest

Hey! Whoopee!
OK folks,
The weather in L.A. is so hot (How hot!?)
I can't hear ya!
I said, the weather is so hot! (How hot?!)
Good night! (15x)

Good stuff, Doc, thanks! (Yessir!)
Doc is going to play Stump The Band in just a few seconds
Tomorrow night we're going to have Wayland Flowers and Madame
And we'll have as Monday night's guest host--Jim Nabors
Charo, slip me some sugar!
Here is your neighbor--
Floyd R. Turbo! Uh!

Swing it, s-sswing it! (Oh Oh!)
Swing it, s-ssswing it!
Swing it, s-sswing it
Swing it, swing it
Swing it like you're playing golf!
Swing it, swing it (Charo: "Coochi, Coochi!)
Swing it like you're playing golf!

Now Ed Ames is going to do a knife-throwing demonstraton for us
Out on the floor
Out on the floor
You know what he'll do?
You know what he'll do?
You know what he'll do?
(did he mean to do that?)

Hey yo! Hey Yo!
Hey, Yo! Hey, Yo!
Hey yo! , Hey Yo!...

I have three "5s" for you. They've been kept in a mayonnaise jar on the front porch of Funk and Wagnall's since noon today.

I have never seen the Johnny Carson show, but I still liked the parody.

Thanks, Saider!

(ABC) See above - still good!

(ABC05) DKTOS, but a really good read...I like the references.

Melhi - June 21, 2005 - Report this comment

(H) I've not only heard the OS, I've seen the video a zillion or so times... it's one of those that was kind of impossible to escape, back when it was new. :) Anyway, nice job with it!

(G05) I second Adagio's DKTOS and comment, though I didn't watch the show enough to understand all the references.

(ABC) Good ol' Johnny C was quite a guy, and this parody is a fitting tribute.

(ABC05)Swingin' tribute to a funny man!

(H) with you totally on this one Agri - I was a huge fan of Johnny's - I was in the audience for 2 of his shows a long time ago - I love Letterman (and Paul Schaeffer) and I hate Leno, so big ticks all around - 555

Scathe - July 03, 2005 - Report this comment

(ABC-H) OK.

MysteryGoat - July 05, 2005 - Report this comment

(ABC) Awesome! Never got to see Johnny, but his legacy is unbounded. (did that make sense?)

Jeff Reuben - July 05, 2005 - Report this comment

Well done on the Carson tribute!

Wow, you tackled this parody well. Great tribute, Aggy.

Arwen - July 05, 2005 - Report this comment

ABC--pretty funny stuff, Agri...and a great OS! I have to admit that I was pretty little when Carson was on the air...and I still thought he was a funny guy...when I could manage to stay up to watch him. The only time I can stand to watch Leno is when Misters Diesel or Bloom are guests...; )

hard OS, valient effort throughout and lots of memorable Carson-ism throughout. The 'Hey! Whoopee!' stanza and the 'Good stuff, Doc, thanks' stanza were excellent and worked really well with the OS. You kinda lost me with the 'Hey Yo' refrain, but still a very respectable job here, Agri.
