Original Song Title:

"You're Sixteen"

Original Performer:

Ringo Starr, Johnny Burnette

  
Parody Song Title:

"Biden Sings About Obama"

Parody Written by:

Jeff Stambo

A parodist’s definition of a bad day: you wake up, turn on the news, and hear something so outrageous and so over-the-top that you realize there may be no point in trying to get more humor out of the situation. When I heard Biden's now-famous Obama gaffe, I decided to soldier on nonetheless. To the tune of You're Sixteen.
Got a college degree
A Harvard J.D.
A thumb’s-up from Howard Dean
And he’s bright, articulate, and he’s clean

He’s from North Illinois
A good-lookin’ boy (offstage: "What???")
C’mon, you know what I mean
And he’s bright, articulate, and he’s clean

He says “Thank you”
He says “Please”
He knocked ‘em dead on his SAT’s
For weekend hoops
He’s got no need
He’d rather just stay home and read

He gets showered and dressed
He brushes with Crest
Gargles with Listerine
‘Cause he’s bright, articulate, and he’s clean

Unlike Jesse
Unlike Al
Hearing him speak beats a root canal
His books are long
And filled with quotes
And all those quotes have real footnotes

He’s got vision and hope
And plenty of soap
A Maytag washing machine
And he’s bright, articulate, and he’s clean

Pretty good, Jeff. Your pacing is not qite exact enough for a perfect 5, b¨t could be corrected very easily. The humor is just OK...not LOL, and I think you could have made it funnier. Overall, it is a great premise for a parody, and not a bad effort.

I think it's a real good spoof...really funny and well done..maybe a syllable off in the pacing, here and there, but still very good...
