| Parody Song Title: | "A Bear Named Pooh" |
| Parody Written by: | Claude Prez |
I grew up in some kid's toybox
Buried beneath his dirty socks
And that messed-up boy was the only one I knew
We had adventures or so he said
I knew he wasn't right in the head
The second that little bastard named me "Pooh"
Well his mama named HIM Christopher
He had no cause to be pissed at her
I'm sure he thought it would be a funny thing to do
Some piglet would hug me and I'd spray it with "Raid"
Some tigger would bounce me and I'd have it spayed
I tell ya, life ain't easy for a bear named "Pooh"
Deep in the hundred acre wood
I dreamed of mauling that wanker good
He was ugly and stupid and probably insane
Yep, hurtin' him badly was my goal
But his imagination kept me under control
It turns out I'm a bear of very little brain
Believe me, things are tough enough
When you're tubby, cute and stuffed with fluff
To try to get folks to take you seriously
But when some sissy-boy names you Pooh
Ain't nothin' left for a bear to do
But arm himself and go on a killin' spree
That's just what I was about to do
I knew this bear down at the zoo
Could get me whatever I wanted in there with them freaks
I gave him my cash and I said "let's go"
He said, "Now, slow down, Slugger--whoa;
My conscience dictates you'll have to wait two weeks."
Before two weeks my life changed quick
Some Disney guys who liked my schtick
Made me an offer; but I'd have to keep the name
Movies, TV, books and more
This Disney crap was a monster score
I said,"MY NAME IS POOH! HOW DO YOU DO? BOYS LET'S PLAY THE GAME!"
Well, after that you know the rest
Except the Kanga part I guess
But that's one story I won't be tellin' you
But let's just say for the sake of fun
If Pooh Bear ever had a son
I think I'da probably named him...
Mortimer! Or Garfunkel! DEFINITELY NOT Roo!
And if you're from the Child Support Agency, I never seen that bitch before in my life!

Excellent parody! It establishes a side of Pooh I've never seen before, especially at the end!
The Dark Side Of Pooh - who woulda thunk it? LOL! 555
You write some excellent stuff, Claude
Bears are not as friendly as fairy tales and cartoons make them to be. Great job!
Claude - The bear minimum I could give this parody is straight 5's. Great stuff.
Ah, the power of the two week waiting period. Claude, I don't want to know how your mind works, but this is a masterpiece.
i have a friend who luvs pooh, she wouldn't appreciate this, but i think it's FUNNY!!!!!
Maybe poor old Pooh can date sombody that thinks "She's a bear!"
Claude, you make me want to get off my behind and start writing again...excellent job!
Did You Know, Winnie The Pooh Was A Real Bear?
Dang, son, you really walked the line there! This was a "hunny" of a parody. Maybe we can do a concept album: The Dark Side of the Kids' Characters. Turning "Cocaine" into "Cookie" (for the Monster) is my contribution. Anybody got some dirt on Arthur the Aardvark? And is Clifford such a Big Red Dog because of steroids?
Perfect example of why Claude is THE MASTER! This parody is stripped right down to the bear neccesity of laughter!
DKTOS, but this made me laugh out loud...
Pooh isn't funny. Heh heh. BUT THIS IS. I liked the first four stanzas so much that I wondered if you'd be able to keep it that good throughout. Silly me. I should never have doubted the Prez Elect.
I love this, and you! You make me...sniff... so proud. You'll always be my little Claudy-wawddy.
Also DKTOS but some brilliant rhyming with 'pissed at her' and I also L'dOL at the 2 week joke. Great work.
(May 04 SOTM)Pooh-pooh, to you, 555!
A honey of a parody (SOTM)
(May SOTM) See above.
(May SOTM) Considering for a top three place with this one, it's a gem.
Oh pooh, my chances for SOTM just got even worse...great parody. Classic.
More warm fuzzies.
Oh bother; I never thanked everyone for all these nice comments. So thanks all.
That's a good one! And the original is one of my favorites. If only you had the long bleeeeeeeeep in there ......... -- MM
(MAY SOTM) Very funny and being considered for the contest. 5's
(SOTM) As above. And I loved the 2 weeks line too!
Will someone please host me a link to the version of this song that's being used? Because I just tried downloading it off Kazaa twice, and both times I got a song that would leave me no choice but to give this a 5/1/3, because the number of syllables in a line of that vs. in this parody only match about a tenth of the time. I'm gonna go ahead and give it 5s anyway, because it's really funny, and by the other votes I'm going to assume that such another version does exist.
(SOTM) Yep, this here's gettin' some more votes, says me. Great timing, Claude. I've learned more about lyrical humor just reading your parodies than from any other source I know of, capitol Period. Great work, this ain't no honey-sucker.
Congratulations to Claude for winning 3rd place in the May Song of the Month contest with this incredible parody. Well done, Claude!
Thanks everybody

I wish I was Fifi Trixibelle (Daughter of I Wish I Was Bob Geldof). - January 13, 2005 - Report this comment
I found this parady funny and insulting at the same time. I thought the lyrics were funny,but in some ways, I was offended, because I grew up as a huge Winnie the Pooh fan and I wasn't sure what to make of it. I reckon an adults only version of Winnie the Pooh would be funny. I would title it "WINNIE THE SHIT!!!". By the way, I turn 19 on Valintine's Day.
Comment #3: I found this parady funny and insulting at the same time. Heh heh. Did I ever tell you that I thought about doing this one at a karaoke night on a cruise ship? I chickened out but I'm sure it woulda been AWESOME.
Very creative concept and a good conclusion.
Heh heh, just did this song so I'm in a mood to appreciate this one even more the second time around. Creative and hilarious, Claude.
SECOND PLACE (tie)

(Chosen by Spaff.com as a Pooh parody for Show & Tell) Hardy har har, Spaff! :)
This was very funny , in the sense of it being well paced and everything. And it would be funny to make a dark side to children's characters...but some of this I was kind of offended. Well for one , I was named from that kid so it does kind of push the limit.
THIS RULES! Loved it!
