| Parody Song Title: | "Eight Ways a Geek" |
| Parody Written by: | Rick Duncan |
Since I mocked all the Beatle' songs several years ago, I thought I'd add them to the HUGE number that's already here. Maybe there's a few that haven't been done yet
You're a piece of work, babe
But what's wrong with you?
You are such a jerk, babe
And you know it's true
Oafish, helpless
Oafish, helpless
It seems you are completely
Eight ways a geek
I sure wish you luck, dear
One day it may come
But you're such a schmuck, dear
And sincerly dumb
Foolish, clueless
Foolish, clueless
It seems you are completely
Eight ways a geek
Eight ways a geek
I ca-a-a-a-all you
Eight ways a geek
I'm telling you because I care
If I've told you once, dear
I've said a thousand times
You are one big dunce, dear
As Webster's book defines
Oafish, helpless
Foolish, clueless
It seems you are uniquely
Eight ways a geek
But what's wrong with you?
You are such a jerk, babe
And you know it's true
Oafish, helpless
Oafish, helpless
It seems you are completely
Eight ways a geek
I sure wish you luck, dear
One day it may come
But you're such a schmuck, dear
And sincerly dumb
Foolish, clueless
Foolish, clueless
It seems you are completely
Eight ways a geek
Eight ways a geek
I ca-a-a-a-all you
Eight ways a geek
I'm telling you because I care
If I've told you once, dear
I've said a thousand times
You are one big dunce, dear
As Webster's book defines
Oafish, helpless
Foolish, clueless
It seems you are uniquely
Eight ways a geek

I'm sad... I thought this would be a praise of geekdom, rather than its opposite. Think I'll have to write that next...
'You are one big dunce, dear'
'As Webster's book defines'
I found a slightly different definition:
Source: http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=geek
Main Entry: geek
Pronunciation: 'gEk
Function: noun
Etymology: probably from English dialect geek, geck fool, from Low German geck, from Middle Low German
Date: 1914
1 : a carnival performer often billed as a wild man whose act usually includes biting the head off a live chicken or snake
2 : a person often of an intellectual bent who is disapproved of - geeky /'gE-kE/ adjective
Not nitpicking - song was a great read. Love this series you submitted although I do not know every Beatle song you have out here today.

Great pacing! And everything else. 'Geeks' are in. :D Lucky for some, even though they still are clumsy.
Thanks all. But what I was going for was what the "cool chicks" thought of me and any other kid with glasses in school. I'm actually proud of being and attracted to geeks.
I was going to try a "Beware of geeks bearing textbooks" misquote, but by latin's not quite up to it: "timeo technetos et dona libres" is probably all wrong (especially because the "tech-" prefix come from Greek rather than Latin...). But WTF ;-)
To Rick: Yes, it IS possible to be a geek AND cool! To Guy: What does that make Ozzy Osbourne?
Ozzy? Er... neither
Oops! She wasn't supposed to see that.
Iput my Ozzy parody on now. See "Sexy Sadie"
Just thought of doing "Eight ways a geek", so I had a look - not only did you get here before me, but I notice I've been here, too... ah, well.
