Parody Song Title:

"Kong's Sunk, Doomed"

Parody Written by:

John A. Barry

The Lyrics

Kong was doomed,
'cause he got splenetic.
Kong got boot
From garden Edenic.

Fell into a trance and wooed a cute girl, and then
Movie crew took him to New York--that's wrong.
They put him in a pen. . .
Freak show for gals and men.

Kong mushroomed--
Seeing her dress billow.
Kong's hunk tum-
esced, fluffed like a pillow.

Stuck in rings post-short-lived fling,
Then onstage come the press boys.
Carl [Denham] implores 'em, "Hold it!"
They screech: "This is good
For circulation hoist!"

Kong's sunk doomed--
Now the town's frenetic.
Kong busts through,
Unbound, not hermetic.

Once was king of island things--
Skull's, not Manhattan's. Rejoice!
In soar the planes, blow him
Off of Empire's hood.
Then Denham's plaintive voice:

"Kong was doomed,
Kong loved Beaut. . . ."

Amazing song, reminds me of a animation one of our close friends did. You see, they did a King kong flash movie which was titled King Kong the abridged version. One of the parts revealed that they got Kong over to New York by having Jack Black's character Carl sing Wonderboy. And there's a twist at the end- while it appears at the end that Kong died- we see his eyes open up followed by "bom bom bom!" and then the words "The End??" appear on screen.
