Parody Song Title:

"'Rhapsody's in My Brain"

Parody Written by:

John A. Barry

When I dream, In my brain's playing Queen's
"Bohemian Rhapsody," it won't go away,
And it's making me now, insane.

I hear each bar as sung not from afar.
In fact, it's booming like thunder;
I wake and wander to a bar.

In my mind, high voice keeps saying,
"Bismillah, Bismillah, Bismillah."
So now I'm am draining
Six pilsners, "Fill 'em
Quickly, quickly, barkeep!"

"Rhapsody"'s in my brain,
"Rhapsody"'s in my brain.
Plays each night incessantly,
Won't stop.
Plays each night mercilessly,
Won't stop.

"Barkeep, hurry and six more pour.
Hope this will make me drunk, made so drunk
That I won't hear it anymore.

But I still hear flashes of
"Lightning," "fright'ning,"
Guy sings high, stings.
I gnash teeth and shove
Down several dry gins, imbibin'
Quickly, quickly. "Barkeep!"

Rapidly gin I drain,
Rapidly gin I drain
I'll keep imbibin' till the
Song stops.
I'll steep in dry gin till the
Song stops.

BRIDGE:
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very fright'ning me. . .
. . .Bismillah! No, we will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! This song won't let me go

"Yesterday," why not "Yesterday"?!!!

"Rhapsody"'s in my brain
"Rhapsody"'s in my brain
Plays each night incessantly,
Won't stop.
Plays despite ingesting reams,
Won't stop.

I saw Lou Christie at an oldies' festival at Penn's Landing in Philadelphia a few years back. Aside from his hair being white, he looked great and sounded as good as ever. A great meshed parody!
