Song Parodies -> Your Song About My Client Delilah
| Original Song Title: | "Hey There Delilah" |
| Original Performer: | Plain White T's |
| Parody Song Title: | "Your Song About My Client Delilah" |
| Parody Written by: | Spaff.com |
True story: Tom Higgenson of Plain White T's wrote his song about a real Delilah. The relationship, however, never happened. She wasn't interested. It seems to me, therefore, that a response is needed.
RE: YOUR SONG ABOUT MY CLIENT DELILAH
Dear Mr. Higgenson: It's me, Delilah's lawyer
I am writing to inform you there's
A third restraining order
In effect
The first two haven't stopped you yet
She's quite upset
May I remind you, Tom, my client doesn't like you
Yet you keep composing songs for her
Which means you have the IQ
Of a brick
You couldn't "hit that" with a stick
Please seek help quick
Oh, we're watching you, you creep
Oh, we're watching you, you creep
Oh, we're watching you, you freak
Oh, it's what we do all week
All the stupid week
Do not address Delilah's mother as a MILF and
Please desist from mailing puppy dogs
And photos of yourself in
Plain white T's
And next time put some pants on, please
Nice cottage cheese
My client's gone in hiding halfway 'cross the nation
But you evidently stalked her to
Her undisclosed location
In New York
You put it in your song, you dork
We're freaking torqued
Oh, were watching you, you creep
Oh, we watch you when you sleep
Oh, we watch you when you eat
Oh, we watched you take a leak
A thousand miles seems pretty far
But you've used planes and trains and cars
And pogo sticks and Segways and a horse
But we've got warrants out for you
So, Romeo, if you try to
Go near her, you'll regret the choice, of course
There's lots of guys who'd gladly pay
To make your love song go away
They'll quickly take you down without remorse
With deadly force
Dear Mr. Higgenson: This isn't 'cause I'm jealous
That I left the band for law school while
You got rich with the fellas
With your song
Here's why I took this client on:
Like you, I've wanted her so long
So it's so nice to sue you, Tom
P.S. How's Mom?

I didn't think you could beat "Hey There Al-Qaida", but I was wrong. This has to be one of the best Spaff songs out there and that says a lot. I would LOVE to hear this one recorded. "You couldn't "hit that" with a stick" actually made me stop reading and burst out laughing.
That was AWESOME! 5s I ditto Matthias
Just fabulous, Spaff...very VERY funny...I loved it. Just flawless...
funny twist on the OS
Not only funny, but a quite different style from the usual Spaff works. It is also very difficult to stray from original verse rhyme schemes. Great as always. 555
Super funny stuff. Even better than your first one the other day. As I said the other day, Spaff is king! Big 5's.
Funny work as always, Spaff. LOts of LOL lines, but "pogo sticks and Segways and a horse" stood out for me. I, too, would love to hear this recorded.
Terrific, As my son is a lawyer, I almostI like it more the the original, almost. I would love to hear it recorded.
That "couldnt "hit that" with a stick" part is funny. This would be so funny if it was recorded.
Thank you very much, Matthias & Jackie & Arwen & alvin & Aggro & JP & Red & Paul & Kyle! I just received Robert Lund's recording of this - now I just have to figure out what to do with it.

late on readding this...but not on loving it!!
Great job spaff--6666
Thanx, Spoof-Man.
Be sure to catch Robert Lund's performace on The FuMP (it's up now) and/or the Mad Music Show and/or the Dr. Demento show. Links, again, are here:

Nicely done. Heard the recording last week on The Barry Hansen show. The whole thing was good, but in particular, it was just plain funny hearing the words "you dork" casually slipped into a soft ballad like this. AND you steered clear of profanity this time. Here's to winning your $555 lawsuit.
Love the recording,better than the OS, why wanst that #1?
That was good... I like the normal song, but this one was so funny!
why can't the video be on this page grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Jonathan: Thanks. I don't steer clear of profanity, however; I just don't use it in every case.
Jackie: Heh heh. Maybe it'll get there on Dr. Demento. (Hint hint.)
Somebody: Thanks. I prefer abnormal.
hello people: Something tells me you're not referring to videos of this parody, but in case you are, here are two of them I've found:

Wow, those youtube videos are great. Also, the ones for "99 Words for Boobs":

I always thought some sort of extreme sports/ jackass video for "Band-Aid" would be cool.
Oh, yeah, the song. Outstanding as always, but the pogo stick line is beyond hilarious. Anyone who does a video of this and doesn't include an actual person bouncing on an actual pogo stick has no business calling himself a half-assed amateur filmmaker wannabe.
Okay, I think I'm done now. Happy 2003. Claude out.
I finally have an idea for this! "Hey Paris, Britney and Lindsau"
Jackie: Done it yet?
Claude: Been away awhile, eh? You go < then *capital* BR then >. Thanx, man. And here's yet another one - this time there's a shot of a kid on a pogo stick, but no attribution. (Can't win 'em all.)

Hmm, methinks an air of familiarity here... ;)
Sorry, JARLB. I didn't mean for you to smell that.
Better than the OS. A long title, but I love this track anyway. Robert Lund's performance does the lyrics justice.
Thanks, Kevin, but the title is even longer than you think. It's "Re: Your Song About My Client Delilah," not just "Your Song About My Client Delilah." Not sure how to fix that.
I am fine!
Squire Higgenson, I love your song, always have . . . Uou have a very princely way of writing, Sir. This ~Lilah~ would indeed accept your favour!
OMG HILARIOUS BUT THE MILF PART THROWS YOU OFF YOU KNOW SO I WOULD SHORTEN THAT OUT SOMEHOW BUT SO SO SO SO FUNNY I LOVED
Mom: OK, that made me laugh out loud. (Everyone: My mom really did leave that comment. Best mom ever.)
Lilah: I'm pretty sure your comment is for Tom Higgenson, not me, but I'll tell him you said so. We hang out a lot.
Greenstring: OMG TYVM LOL

Im starting to think this parody was just as popular as the original. Ooh and put you and Robert's albums on ITunes so people can download them amd maybe youll have a song in the top 100.
Thanx, Local Celebrity. I'll have to look into that.
To the Staff at Spaff.com: I still like it upon viewing it a 3rd time! funny, yet sweet . . .
DeLilahCakes: I recently sued the staff of Spaff.com for the right to speak on behalf of the staff of Spaff.com. The good news and the bad news is that I won. And lost. Barring any further litigation, the staff of Spaff.com unanimously thanks you for your comment.
this was very very very good. Whoever did this is great at parodies.
