The Lyrics
~
I am The Hitchcocker who framed his shots askew
I am The Hitchcocker whose plots were twisted too
This Master Switch Shocker'll scare the poop from you
When you watch—
Fren-zy, West-North-North, Psy-cho, Stranger-Danger Sha-dow
Wrong-Man, Fright-Rope-Boat, Spell-bound, Bird'er-Murder-Win-dow
~
Fren-zy, West-North-North, Psy-cho, Stranger-Danger Sha-dow
Wrong-Man, Fright-Rope-Boat, Spell-bound, Bird'er-Murder-Win-dow
I am The Hitchcocker who forged Suspense Noir
I am The Hitchcocker who gorged on Le Bizarre
You watch some Hitchcock and you'll shower in Kevlar®
'Cause you saw—
Fren-zy, West-North-North, Psy-cho, Stranger-Danger Sha-dow
Wrong-Man, Fright-Rope-Boat, Spell-bound, Bird'er-Murder-Win-dow
~
Fren-zy, West-North-North, Psy-cho, Stranger-Danger Sha-dow
Wrong-Man, Fright-Rope-Boat, Spell-bound, Bird'er-Murder-Win-dow
I've been frickin' frightnin' folks through fifty film sensations
And everyone agrees I'm pretty smart
My 'audience-as-voyeur' was my crowning inspiration
Well that and shovin' shivs straight through the heart!
I am the Hitchcocker, très portly in black suit
I am the Hitchcocker who's Norman 'don't compute'
Today these copycats my genius *so* dilute
They crank out—
Gore-bore, Blair Bitch-Kitch, Wrong-Ring, Up'y-Chucky Chainsaws
Shock-Schlock, Saw so-so's, Dead-Fred-,Shallow-Hallo--, Lame-Jaws!
Then reprise—
*More* Gore, Blair Bitch-Kitch, Wrong-Ring, Up'y-Chucky Chainsaws
Shock-Schlock, Saw so-so's, Dead-Fred-,Shallow-Hallo--, Lame-Jaws!

(Music: Funeral March Of The Marionette) Good E-ven-ing! Bravo, T.J.C! You pulled this off without a "Hitch". ;D
'And now.....for tonight's drama...we have a 555 special'! Great tribute to the master!
You "Hitchcocked" your way out of this one, TJC! Well executed satire! Installed 5 "rear windows", screeching 5 violin chords from that "Psycho" stabbing, and 5 flocks of "birds"fly with this one!
Great trib to a great movie maker. Always thought Rear Window & N By NW were his best (prob because CG & JS are 2 of my fave US actors)
And now..for a very commercially correct parody
I *still* get nervous when I see a flock of birds gathered together in a tree or on a lawn!
555 for terrific wordplay and "dead"-on commentary of today's thrillers- which, by comparison, don't at all.

You ommitted one of my favorites: ~MARNE~, 1964 with SeanConnery ( Hot Man ! ) & Ms Tippi. Check it out .
Goodevening. It's a classic. 555 birds
High-contrasty, innovative-storyboardin', frame askew, ten-minute take, POV, contra-dolly-zoomin', actors-are-my-cattle thanks out to:
OMR--Thanks for refreshing my mem re the Marchin' Marionettes...dada-da-da-da-dada-da-da!
Mark Scotti--Appreciate it!
Christie--Love the ref to the 'screeching violins' sans too much actual violence!
Andy--Thanks, N by NW also my fave (don't tell Alvin!)
AFW--Thanks... if I can't be PC, CC'll have to do!
Fiddlegirl--Appreciate it! (and thanks for not calling it a flockin' failure!)
unHitched--my harte belongs to Marne... Nixon, that is!
Phil--Ha!@perfect reply.calm!

Great take on Hitchcock, but you forgot Marnie
Incredible wordplay, and the last chorus was indeed an accurate summary: Today's "thrillers" are truly for 'the birds.' 556
What a tough OS to parody, very fun too. . .
Would you kindly tell that jerk to leave my noses alone?
Such an incredible job of fitting the titles/synopses into the difficult scansion of the refrain that for once, repeating choruses is is a delight, rather than a nit. But what's with all this bibliography, reference, ibid, and fooTTnote stuff? ;-)
Voted you South by Southwest with a full spin above the half-pipe. (That's 360 degrees + 195 = 555.)

Thanks 'Mount Rushmore'! Really ppreciate the thoughtful comment@clever.tom... But I was under the impression that these days you're thought of more as a gigantic pile of Oxycontin than a national monument!?
Wowsers! A wonderful tribute to one of the greats....and brilliant job with shoehorning the movies into the "oo ee oo ah ah" refrain! 555
Belated thanks out to Tim, Jonathan, BAD and the inimitable Kristof... Much appreciated
