The Lyrics
After 4 decades, even "favorite things" can morph unexpectedly...
Acid rain's left me with whiskerless kittens
Damn global warming, I've hung up those mittens
Brown paper packages anthrax can bring
What the hell's happened to my favorite things?
Cream colored pony's now found in McStrudel
Door bells got mangled by Schnitzel, my poodle
Wild geese now fly with the flu on their wings
What the hell's happened to my favorite things?
~ Rodgersesque speed metal musical interlude ~
Girls in white beaters with peek-a-boo slashes
Snowflakes don't stick to them Maybelline lashes
Silver white winter's now Christmas ka ching
What the hell's happened to my favorite things?
WHEN MY DOG BITES
THEY'LL BE SUING
I'LL BE HEAPED WITH SCORN
I NEED JULIE ANDREWS, HER FLICKS CHEER ME UP
DAMN! NOW SHE'S JUST DOING PORN!

The following is a rework of yesterday's parody of the same OS, that I accidentally posted before I finished editing...
My Favorite Mings
~ Comments: For 276 years, from the early 14th to the mid 17th centuries,
the Mings ruled their dynasty with an iron-- vase? ~
Hongwu, the first of 'em, ruler exemplar
Killed off the Yuans--man, caveat Emperor!
Then came son Jiwen, that heir-raising king
He spawned the next my favorite Mings!
Yongle, then Hongxi, then Xuandi then Zhentong
Jingtai, then Chengua then Hongzhi--now long gone
Jaijing got strangled--a concubine's sting
Them is the breaks when you're players named Ming
PAINTED LADIES!
FIRST M-80'S!
BUILT THOSE WALLS SO GREAT
THEIR MILLION MAN ARMIES SWORE OATHS UP THE YANG
TO SIXTEEN MING STUDS-OF-STATE
Wanli was thirteenth, and longest dictator
Taichang, his son died of clap a month later
Tinqu ascended the throne at fifteen
Eunuchs usurped him--the first Chinese queens!
Fragmenting courts with their courtiers vying
Uncles and cousins all scheming and dying
Movable type, and such wonders – adieu!
Ming's but a vase now on gallery view!
~ sanxian and bamboo pipe musical interlude ~
Thus we have come to the thrust of our story
Dynastic rulers get in-bred and hoary
Three hundred years with one family's bad
Look at our first ten with Bush and his Dad!
NEPOTISM!
PALACE SCHISM!
BADA BOOM, NADA MING!
BUT FROM 1330 TO MID 1640
BEJING A LA MING, WAS KING!

Such a great idea and opening, and then like totally messed up with something you should have posted separately, why oh why? I'm refraining from voting but like I said, it was a great idea and first half.
I like these things.
Is good, 5s.
Funny write...great concept
Enjoyed em
"Rodgerseque"? Is that like Richard Rodgers, who wrote the music for TOS, or Paul Rodgers, who now sings with Queen?
I'm guessing a five is still one of your favorite ra-tings, so now you won't feel... so bad.
I like the flip side that was brought out in this. My favorite was Julie Andrews doing porn bit. That would be funny. Maybe " The VonTrap Family Swingers" or something. But that's silly. 5's
555. This was a nice song, and I also really liked "My Favourite Mings". We in West know all too little about the Chinese history - it would be nice if someone would do likewise a song of Tangs.
yes, as Peter said, the first half was brilliant (idea and execution), and you should now extend that to the full parody. But because it wasn't the full song (rules are rules here) I can't vote, but I loved "Christmas ka ching" - and gee, when you stand a metre back from the screen and look at JULIE ANDREWS FLICKS, it takes on a whole new meaning ;-)
Thank you all for your comments... i guess i did a bit of a short shrifting... but in my defense, "shrift" is one of my favorite things!
So like I said at "My Favorite Mngs"...555 here, too.
