Song Parodies -> Ewe: "Don't Clone Me!"

Original Song Title:

"You Don't Own Me"

Original Performer:

Lesley Gore

  
Parody Song Title:

"Ewe: "Don't Clone Me!""

Parody Written by:

Tommy Turtle

President Obama has come out against human cloning, and apparently, Dolly the Sheep didn't like it either. OS lyrics here. Not-as-good-as-the-original YouTube rendition here.


Ewe: "Don't Clone Me!"
Stop photocopying DNA
You: Don't clone me!
I'd rather have "kids" the normal way

So don't make a lamb that's new
In lab where the white-coats play
Each "makeover": unique "new ewe"
Stop playing God, OK?

Bess:...
"Moo! Don't clone me!"
Already know how to "have a cow"
Stu, don't clone me
One Tommy Turtle's enough for now

Oh, I don't want to breed this way
And neither, I bet, would you
So just let me love my Elf [1]
Shout, "Yabba, dabba, doo!"

I'm One, and I love to be One
Not three, ten, or seventy-three
And don't deprive me of the fun
To lay and scr*w whomever I please

[Interlude: repeat the notes D 'n A, or either of the following verses:]

[Interlude Sub #1]

Quack! Don't clone me!
No need to make a new Donald Duck
Left alone, we --
-- Already know how to copulate

[Interlude Sub #2]

This ain't "progress"
Medical science? It don't add squat
Acid trip? Yes!
Deoxyribonucleic? Not!

[continue main song]

A-a-a-nd don't make a "me" anew
Oh-h-h-h, just to get your degree
A thesis, I am not for you;
Topic for Ph.D.

I'm not just some lump of clay
Oh-h-h-h, Play-Dohâ„¢ that you construe
So just go and "clone" yourself!
That's all I say: "Cl*ne You!"

[fading]
You geek, I love that I'm unique
My plea is that you will agree
To led me breed the way I want...
[fade out]
(to play, pursue, and risk s.t.d.'s)



[1] Making nice on a reader who somehow perceived something in a previous parody as being a derogatory reference to the species Elfus Amirightus.

Not familiar with the original song, but cloning has been one of my favorite song topics. When I read that scientists had cloned a cat, I wondered why, when there is a surplus of cats made the old fashioned way. In fact, that is one of the few things a cat can get stirred up enough to do.

Don't play God is right.

A good job on that. I get the feeling that scientists are just itching to get their hands on a human and I know who would let them...and it wouldn't be God. Yes they are playing God.

Obama's, er, 'Kill Bill' sure didn't put the kibosh on the ol' Terapin's creativity... Perfect match to the EweTube'd (fallopian slip?) OS with muchos referencios to the dark art's lingo n' lore... 555 helix strands for your effurts!

2Eagle and Adagio: Yep. Thanks to both for v/c.

TeeJay, see?: "Oh, vary" kind comments, Sir or Ma'am! Always proud to be of cervix to you! The tough part was pacing; i. e. getting my-o-metrium right. Let's hope they don't clone Helix The Cat , and glad you enjoyed my little f(r)ollical parody.

Tommy, your comment is right on the mark. See my parody of "My Girl".

Patrick: Done. Loved it! Also saw your King Barack song and loved that too! Commented on both. Thanks for stopping back by.

Response to your plug: this one rocked! Thanks for pointing me to this. 555

DJ Blaze: Thanks! ... and thanks for taking the plug. Plenty more could be said about this topic, and yours was a fine addition to the genre -- original, not just cloned from someone else's work. ;-)
