Parody Written by:

The Lyrics

When a man loves a walrus
Can't keep his mind on nothing else
He'd trade the world
For the good thing he's found

If she is fat, he can't see it
Praise her to the skies
Do a double take and say
"Have you dropped some pounds?"

When a man loves a walrus
He'll never make her shave
Sayin' he likes the way
Her whiskers shine

He'd give up all of his comforts
And sleep out on the sand
Even claim that he loves
The smell of brine

(Bridge)
Well, this man loves a walrus
Your whims control my every check
Each time I call up
For pizza-to-go:
"Double
Anchovies, okay!-----"

When a man loves a walrus
He don't mind her breath
Mackerel in his pants
To draw her near

If she is smelly, rank and putrid
Certain time of the year
He'll say, "Babe,
Come on over here...."

When a man loves a walrus
He'll take her on a cruise
As she swims behind
He'll toss sardines

If she's distracted by TV
WWF
He don't pay no mind
If the couch turns green

When a man loves a walrus
I know exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby,
I'm a man.....

When a man loves a walrus
When a man loves a walrus
When a man loves a walrus
When a man loves a walrus
When a man loves a walrus
When a man loves a walrus.....
İBob "Under The Tuskin' Sun" Gomez 2004 Stop right there. I already
thought of it: "She's A Walrus," "She's Always A Walrus To Me,"
"American Walrus," "Rainy Day Walrus," "I'm Every Walrus," "No
Walrus, No Cry," "I Am Walrus." My wife said, "You make me feel like
a natural walrus."

Wow, I'm glad I snagged "Walrus Intrusion" for The Temptations' "Ball of Confusion" while I had the chance!

This is too funny, Bob! 5's

This parody of Bob's is an excellent example of how one can keep original lines from the original song and exploit them in one's parody to force the original song to parody itself ! Well done!

This is probably the best walrus-related parody I've ever read. Look forward to the rest of the series: 5-5-5

Just to clarify, from the Alaska Science Center: Walrus feed mainly on clams, but they also eat a wide variety of other benthic (sea-floor) invertebrates, such as crabs, sea cucumbers, snails, and amphipods.  The walrus diet is largely dependent upon invertebrates of the continental shelf in depths less than about 100 m.  Soft-bodied prey are swallowed whole, while the fleshy parts of mollusks are removed from their shells by suction and the shells are discarded.  Walruses forage by rooting through bottom sediments.  The muzzle is kept close to the bottom, and the tusks are held parallel to the sea floor.  The two fore-flippers are used for lateral stability, and the hind flippers for propulsion.  Prey is located with the sensitive mystacial vibrissae, and is then uncovered by digging with the snout, pig fashion, or excavating with jets of water. An adult walrus consumes about 5% of their body weight each day.  Such vigorous foraging resuspends vast quantities of sediment in the water column: equivalent to over 18 times the annual sediment discharge of the Yukon River.  Although information on the foraging behavior of female walruses is limited, studies on the foraging behavior of adult males have shown to make foraging trips out to sea that last up to 10 days, and are followed by up to three days resting at their haul-out site.  While on a foraging trip, they spend about 60% of their time diving.  Foraging dives last about seven minutes and are separated by a 1-2 minute rest period at the surface.  Some walruses may supplement their diets with fish or seals, while others have been known to scavenge the carcasses of cetaceans. d;:^)

How about "Venus" by Shocking Blue (or by Bananarama):

The mammal on the mountaintop
Stinkin' like low tide in Maine
The summit of blubber and chub
And Walrus is his name
He's got it
Yeah baby, he's got it
Well
I'm a Walrus
I've got tall tusks
And munch on mollusks
