The Lyrics

Who is the guy who keeps lookin' my way
Don't think that I've seen him anywhere
He's new in town so he really should know
He'll win my heart by spending

Buy me some jewels and tell me I'm pretty
Offer a round trip flight to Belize
There is no doubt he'll get my endorsement
When he resorts to spending

'Cause spending brightens my eyes
I love a sparkly surprise
And spending raises a guy
Above the crowd
(above the crowd)
Above the crowd
(above the crowd)

(Flute interlude)
(preferably a golden flute...with...um...rubies on the key pads)

But spending could lead to cries
Depending on what he buys
'Cause spending on bolo ties
Is not allowed
(is not allowed)
Is not allowed
(is not allowed)

Sure it's a plus if he turns out witty
But just a brain will never get me
He'll win my heart, but just for a moment
If he abstains from spending

(Repeat to fade)

Hey, if she can cook, I can spend (I'm really gonna regret saying this at some point). Cookie-cutter memory of the OS but the point seems clear to me. Nice one, Arwen.

At last, a woman who admits it -- size (of wallet) does matter!
Leo Jay - April 20, 2005 - Report this comment
Nice try, but admit it -- every time you hear the OS, you're going to think of 'Vin D.'.

Great parody Arwen...but...what Leo Jay said...hee! ;-)

Liv-ing in a material world, Material! Oh, sorry =) Nice job! Now if he spends on, say, gloves is that still a good thing?

Rick...spending time DOES count...but spending time using a VISA card is even better...; ) Thanks!

2nz...I can TOTALLY cook...=) Just so you know. Thanks!

Rex...yeah, I've got a knack for being brutally honest...=) Thanks!

Leo...you are bastard because you're right. I even wanted to work "Vin D." into mine...but alas...it didn't happen. Mostly because I didn't want you to throw a huge fit for stealing your rhyme...; )

Johnny...thanks...and you are a bastard, too...because Leo's right. Hee...

Jeff...my little treasure trove of old parody knowledge...you remember way too much! It always makes me giggle...so I love you for it! And thanks!!

Claude...you're laughing at the irony that I actually got you a bolo tie for your birthday, right?

alvin...I resent the implication that I'm only interested in gold. I am EQUALLY interested in platinum, silver, and any and all precious stones. ; ) Thanks a ton!

Wonder if the Rolling Stones are considered precious... hmmm... lost in a quandary... oh um, 5s!!

Your parodies have a very unique quality: shallow but funny. Nice job, Arwen.
2Eagle - April 20, 2005 - Report this comment
555. I think the original version was about marijuana. You see things from a different perspective. whatever turns you on, as we said during the sixties. By the way, one of the singers in that group was a friend of my family.

Oh, yeah. And congrats WAY LATE on getting to 100 parodies, Arwen. Wow how time flies. Jeff made 100 back in March and I don't remember if we had a thread or anything but the guy's been here for decades, technically. Not to shift the focus away, mind you. You both deserve a thread (or a ton of shout-outs) for making it to a milestone like 100.

Scathe...thanks...=) I hope you all know I'm not really as shallow as my parodies portray...although, I really do like presents...and money...and nice cars...and...; )

2Eagle...thanks! My version is about heroine...; )

2nz...yeah, Jeff is an old fart...hehehe...thanks!

great detail as usual Arwen - rubies on the keys and bolo ties - LOL - 555

Same old story: "Your love gives me such a thrill, but your love don't pay my bills, gimme money... that's what I want..." In fact, that gives me an idea for a parody... (Uh-oh, now ya done it...)
Arwen - April 20, 2005 - Report this comment
Thanks, Stuart!

Michael...I'll be on the edge of my seat waiting to read it...=) Thanks...

An idea for a follow-up...some Lionel Ritchie "Shallow.... Only date you for your dough" Of course, this was fab....555
John Jenkins - April 21, 2005 - Report this comment
I agree with Stuart and others who endorse the rubies on the keys and bolo ties. Well done, Arwen.
Arwen - April 21, 2005 - Report this comment
Kristof...you write it...I'll sing it...=) Thanks!

John...I'll admit that the bolo ties bit really did make me giggle...glad so many of you liked it...=) Thanks!!
