Song Parodies -> Strange Folks: AmIRight
| Original Song Title: | "Strangers In The Night" |
| Original Performer: | Frank Sinatra |
| Parody Song Title: | "Strange Folks: AmIRight" |
| Parody Written by: | Tommy Turtle |
Strange folks, AmIRight
The muck they make up
Stay up half the night
And when they wake up
Try again to write
Something that's fresh and new
Something in their heads
Sure seems so screwed up
Maybe missed their meds
Post such etude up
P---ing off the Feds
By bashing W...
Strange folks, AmIRight,
Creative people
They are strange folks, AmIRight
Burning those neurons
On such useless, tepid tripe
Ventilating gripe
Searching for hilarity
Plus penetrating parody and....
While the world's in want
Of real solutions
Futile flames they flaunt
As contributions
Genius gone to blight
Strange folks at AmIRight
(instrumental)
It's unlawful, waste IQ
But I have awful taste, like you; if...
One could harness our
Brilliance and toil,
To propel a car,
We'd need no oil
And con-quer space flight
Brains spent on AmIRight!
Dub - a - dub - a - yoo
Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb
Dub - a - dub - a - yoo
Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb...
The muck they make up
Stay up half the night
And when they wake up
Try again to write
Something that's fresh and new
Something in their heads
Sure seems so screwed up
Maybe missed their meds
Post such etude up
P---ing off the Feds

Thanks to all of those utterly wasted, brilliant minds here, but especially to Airfarcewon's "We Right the Songs", for providing material for what the author would refer to as "research", but Phil Alexander would call "plagiarism". I promise to go back to original ideas tomorrow. © 2006 Tommy Turtle.

Please let me explain
And I'm not wrong, uh
If you use your brain
It just gets stronger
I used mine again
To write this verse to you
Therefore what we write
Our little ditties
Here at amiright
The upshot, it is
We become *more* bright
(that's unlike W)
Parodies we write, keep neurons firing
Our brain cells they excite: no, not expiring
Whether they be good or shite
Heavy tunes or light
Ain't it kind of fun though, our
Augmenting our brainpower...
...hold on a sec, that's nearly complete ;-)

That ain't workin'
That's the way you do it
You slay the lyrics heard on M.T.V.
That ain't workin'
That's the way you do it
Funny retouching in a parody
We gotta grinstall AmiRight stuffin'
Bustin' wits on, our pa-ro-day-yay-yays
We gotta prove we, see which are greater! We gotta prove we honor C. G. !

i'm quickly becoming a fan of your work...this is excellent
And ditto what alvin said.
That was funny, TT!! I have to go along with Phil...we are sharpening our wits. 5's!
What Johnny D and Alvin said.
Excellent job, here TT...fives
This is great - let me know when the parody-powered car hits the market, okay? 555
Phil, tryin' to upstage The Turtle, huh? Hope you post the finshed version (you can refer back to this one Cough! Cough!); it's starting out as good as have come to expect from ya... Johnny D, DKTOS you're working; help out an old fogey and explain?.... alvin, a brief look at your page and I'm sure I'm gonna be a fan of yours also; Allan Sherman was an early role model for me as well; I know Bellflower, and nice pun, and I Fived you on "Trollin". (So many good parodies, so little time!!).... JD again, same as to Alvin, Fived you on COBOL... SW engineer, huh? My "Newcomputer etc." must have shown what a dummy (l)user I am.... You and I share an opinion different from that of 2nz and Agrimorfee on keeping a bit of the OS; I'm with you, but Ag dinged me for that on "I Feel Sh--ty". Adagio, looked at your page and picked "Did You Ever Say..." as I love the OS, and parody did not disappoint, Fived.... (a little ditty there should you care to look)... John B., thank you, really going to be tough to explore your work with 1100+, but will try, Fived "Ski School"... AFW, "You're (not) my soul, but my song's inspiration" surprisingly often in the eleven days I've been here, (loonies in the same asylum, I guess), and you're a Righteous Brother as well... Ravyn Rant, thanks, but see next paragraph...
Thanks everyone -- you've convinced me that this is not valueless, so I'm abandoning my lifetime project of supplying the World's energy needs from three acorns in order to concentrate on writing parodies full time. Thanks!

Good parody, and I also gotta agree with Phil, Adagio, Johnny, and Alvin.
I wasn't aiming to upstage: merely to answer... I often find comments coming out in the right rhythm. Don't often post them, but since you ask... I guess I can complete the above in time for today's update :-)
PS JD's lyrics are to Money For Nothing by Dire Straits

I gotta agree with the group mentioned by Larry!
I shoulda learned to use computer. I shoulda learned to type with thumbs. Look at that mama, stick it in the webcam, we can have some fun...
Larry, PMS, thanks.... Michael, you too have succeded in confusing this pea-brain, which is not difficult.
Phil, we knew that, do it too, it's a huge compliment, saw your spinoff and it is an honor :)
