The Lyrics

I'm looking at you
Out my window.
I smell a rat: you.
Where'd your wife go?

Looks like you shipped it:
Trunk on a train.
I'm looking at you;
You look unchained.

Looks like you're moving
Away from here.
Were you removing
The curls from your dear?

Looks like you clipped it;
She was your bane.
Your locks lift went through
Below the mane.

Spy yes I spy
At you, seeing your life.
You've got a nasty habit
Of distaff cleaving. . .clean your knife.

You've discovered me--
You stroll to slay.
You plan to shove me
All of the way
Out of the window
To fall down there.
I won't look at you. . .
Flashbulbs prepare.

Eyes, I shield eyes
From the mistreating lights.
With luck I'll quash your grabbin'
And pitchin' me to soar two flights.

You're coming at me,
Unfazed by glow.
Now you've unsat me.
From the window
Look like I'm pitchin',
Then the cops came.

I'm looking at two
Casts. . .can't use cane.

Now baby has changed:
She's looking casu'l.
Baby hooked a swain,
Baby got a reign
In Rainier's domain,
Plunged down steep terrain,
Like me from the pane.
We're both saved in frames.

Cute subject matter, but your word schemes are strained. The accents of your chosen words don't match the accents of the tune or of the original words. You're also trying to cram in too many important words without the relief of plain ordinary filler words like 'the', 'of', or 'and'. Give your words some breathing room. Don't try to say too much at once. Keep at it!

Picky, picky, picky - it's only a parody and rules are meant to be broken. It's the JOKE, stupid! Every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings and you get fives.

Although I appreciate your critique, Melanie, I gotta go with 2Eagle here. This is a parody, not a pedagogy, site. We are making fun of pop tunes, after all. I'd give more credence to your comments if I were recording the stuff I write. But I'm not and am frankly more interested in having the kind of fun that often involves off-accenting, etc., than in achieving pacing and respirational perfection. Finally, I've taken quite a few challenges but rarely issued them. But--how's about you rewrite this parody of mine the way you think it should be done and I'll offer a nonbiased and considerably less didactic commentary? Whadaya say?
