| Parody Song Title: | "They Delayed My Flight" |
| Parody Written by: | Cat |
Oh, the horrors of airport cancellations...
They delayed my flight today to Boulder
Heaven knows how long I’ll have to wait
As soon as there’s no blizzard...curse this weather!
There will be a stampede at the gate
I can’t sleep in the terminal--it’s tiny!
(Especially when I’m near this fat guy’s heinie!)
Now I must subsist on chips and soda
That I bought at the concession stands
And though it beats the crap they serve on airplanes
Gobs of grease are oozing off my hands
Trapped in an airport with a fatty diet
I got a headache--no one can stay quiet
‘Cause they delayed our flight!
Maybe if I drove and braved the nasty storm
I’d be less stressed
But the choice between that and this noisy hell
Makes me hard-pressed
It’s making me harried...(The long lines are scary)
Air quality’s crappy...(It smells of old snap peas)
I wanna catch my flight!!
And now I hear the pilots all are striking
This situation’s nowhere near my liking...
And my anger’s spiking...
Where the heck’s my flight?!
No sky, baby...
Won’t fly, baby...
Brain’s fried, baby..
Shut-eye? No way!
Heaven knows how long I’ll have to wait

(in this case "especially" is slurred to three syllables; "espec'lly.")

555 more hours of waiting!!!!
And when you return... Oy, what a flight, late from Denver back to NYC! (Shameless parody plug.) Here's 555 frequent-flyer miles for whenever the plane does take off.
Good job rhyming with the original song!
I like this
Good thing I chose to fly in the spring! Oh yeah, about the airplane food: I had some on my flight across the Atlantic, and it was better than what people think it is. Then again, I suppose it all depends on the airline.
Fun stuff! At least your flight to 'Paris' wasn't delayed a whole 45 days...
555 sky smiles for this
The flight will now leave at 5:55.
Cute stuff, Cat. Good rhyming scheme. Nice job...5's ~ ~ ~
Hey, TJC, how did you know I was referring to my trip to Paris?
nice one cat , you now have 555 to spend at the duty free!
(Ages) the Cat came back with another great parody! (you paint a pretty odor picture with "old snap peas"!)
(AGES) Brilliant!
OK, Cat, let me explain. I sent you three 5's, but one of them got misrouted at Denver International and is now on a flight to Jakarta.
(AGES) . . .I love The Beach Boys. "Air quality’s crappy...(It smells of old snap peas)". . .has to be my fav line in here. You did a terrific job with such little to work with. . .and the whole airport transportation issues and all, you captured it very well, one of your best to date.
That was awesome, if only that YouTube viid ddint skip around every second though, I already know the song well enough though 5s
(Ages) Here's to waiting 555 minutes on the tarmac. For no aparent reason. Just because. Oh, and now you have to go back to the terminal for refueling. Hope this won't make you late.
