Song Parodies -> Squirl? (pt. 2 Pippin's reply & counter-complaint)
| Original Song Title: | "Girl" |
| Original Performer: | The Beatles |
| Parody Song Title: | "Squirl? (pt. 2 Pippin's reply & counter-complaint)" |
| Parody Written by: | Merry & Pippin |
Arising from a typical debate between M&P regarding how many syllables a given word contains (these are the sort of earth-shattering things that plague a writing duo) - we bring you the case for "Squirrel' equals two syllables (hence the Part "2'). Please read the parody for the diametrically opposed case which was also released today. If you do not know the OS, a low bit-rate MP3 can be found here
Is our Merry out there going to listen to my story
All about Squir-rel, whose name you say ?
See, I find that 'Squirl' sounds mis-pronounced
It makes me worry
Syllables reduced, one's gone away
A Squirl ? Squirl ?!?
When I think of how it rhymes
With 'girl' I start to feel that
"'Mer'can English" Microsoft's applied...
And she justifies the word to me
Straight-faced, believe it...
Can I just assume her humour's wry ?
Ah, girl!... Squirl ???
When I'm hearing 'squirl' my face it frowns
When syllables don't number two-oo
When she says she's talking good
She cracks, 'cos I've misunderstood
Gets cool, cool, cool, cool
Squirl ! SQUIRL !!!!
When I count them one by one
I state with glee "Eight letters"
Diction'ry.com it also said...
It demands that : Break three back
From end of word is there to
Kill this silly argument stone dead
A squirl ! Squirl ? Squirl ??
Guitar solo : Picture the word Squir-rel with an outraged Meriadoc bouncing ball emoticon, alternating between each syllable in time to the beat...

It does have two syllables: tree rat. Fives for two.
i must fess up to being one of the people who pronounce it as one syllable...i saw one this morning
hilarious, you two - have a bee-er (2 syllables) on me, Pippin - 555
Potato, potarto, tomeighto, tomarto...
I wanna know who won ? :)

It still can go either way, but it depends on the OS and how fast the lyrics are sung. Also, pronouncing "squirrel" as one syllable is like pronouncing "strengths" (anyone know a word that contains more than 5 consonants in a row?) - it doesn't roll of the tongue too easily. In everyday conversation though, it is one syllable. I think Merry wins this round, though your scores are identical. =)
I'm sure it wasn't me !!! - ha ha - Let's just say that 'right' won ;-p
RA, I have one comment ! "Diction"-ary ! Muwahahah ;-p
Excellent parody, but in Arkansas it's pronounced "dinner".
Merry & Pippin, you guys know your own strength, you don't really have to back it up. ..but good parody, 555 without a doubt.
Squirls they be a flyin' lol 5's
From the Hyperdictionary: "Pronunciation: 'skwurul" Hmmm that's TWO syllables it seems!! Peregrin, you win!
"Can I just assume her humour's wry ?" This is probably the safest bet... (pssst, tho', personally, I'm with you on this one).
fatass-pooty 5-5-5 again. just for the exhausting thought
