Song Parodies -> Don't Dumb Me Down

Original Song Title:	"Don't Let Me Down"
Original Performer:	The Beatles

Parody Song Title:	"Don't Dumb Me Down"
Parody Written by:	Melanie Lee

A tribute of sort to my nieces and nephew. The OS lyrics online contain one more bridge and chorus than the Beatles' videos that I found on YouTube. Oh well.

Don’t dumb me down!
Don’t dumb me down!
Don’t dumb me down!
Don’t dumb me down!

And when the street kids tell me that I’m posing,
Say I’m posing,
And “Keep it real!”,
I say it’s real for me, and I’m not posing,
I’m not posing,
I don’t conceal.

Don’t dumb me down!
Don’t dumb me down!
Don’t dumb me down!
Don’t dumb me down!

How I love my thesaurus,
Read my atlas on the run.
I can spell “encyclopedia”,
And my dictionary’s fun!

Don’t dumb me down!
Don’t dumb me down!
Don’t dumb me down!
Don’t dumb me down!

Nobody’s ever gonna call me dummy.
I’m no dummy,
‘Cause dumb ain’t good.
No one will catch me acting like a dummy,
Like a dummy,
‘Cause dumb ain’t good.

Don’t dumb me down!
Don’t dumb me down!
Don’t dumb me down!
Don’t dumb me down!

You can call me “articulate”
When I earn my first degree.
Not ashamed to be articulate.
What did you expect from me?

Don’t dumb me down!
Don’t dumb me down!
Don’t dumb me down!
Don’t dumb me down!

After reading this I really feel dumb 'cause I can't spell inpsyklopedia, but I can spell FIVE. Nothing dumb about this one. Top notch, Melanie.

I was afraid people may misunderstand the rules, Melanie, you qualify because you've never won SOTM or POTM, that was one of four qualifying factors, you only have to meet one to enter, so you do qualify ;)

Thanks for the correction, Dave! I've just joined the In The 00s message board. Now I have to select a parody. Hmm...I think it's between "Love Client No. 9" and "Yankees Got Run Over by the Red Sox". What do you recommend?
