Original Song Title:

"Ticket To Ride"

Original Performer:

The Beatles

Parody Song Title:

"Chicken To Fry"

Parody Written by:

DJ Blaze

The Lyrics

Why has this title switch never been done? There's a parody called "Chicken To Ride" but not "Fry". Well, here's a parody about chicken-frying at a family-owned business. Note: I don't work at a family-owned business, nor does my family own one. This is purely fictional. Here's the lyrics I based this parody on: Sing365: The Beatles - Ticket To Ride
This restaurant's driving me mad
I work here all day, yeah!
This place is owned by my dad
So I don't get paid!

I've got a chicken to fry
I've got a chicken to fry
I've got a chicken to fry
Poultry beware!

This food ain't nowhere near free
The prices I've found, yeah!
They won't listen to me
When I say go down!

I need some money to buy
I need some money to buy
I need some money to buy
Some underwear!

I'm going in to work now tonight
I have to be nice
I cannot skip work and flee
But now they've put me in overtime
No more of these guys
I gotta knock 'em, you see!

This job is making me sad
I'm getting no pay, yeah!
It's all because of my dad
And laws U.S.A.!

Ah, my anger's getting so high
My anger's getting so high
My anger's getting so high
Pull out my hair!

I don't know why I'm working tonight
They don't pay me dimes
They make me work nights for free
I'm never going in overtime
Don't care 'bout this price
I'm gonna get fired, you see!

We all blame economy
The price won't go down, yeah!
Food will never be free
When Bush is around....

Ah, I've quit my job at the fry
I've quit my job at the fry
I've quit my job at the fry
And I don't care!

The DJ don't care (x5)
Prepare for a few more Beatles parodies from me. I've recently been listening to their works and I like them.

That's "poultry in motion" for ya! Now I know how people in KFC or Popeye's feel! Speaking of family owned businesses frying chickens, there's this restaurant that serves the best chicken. They even fully cook them unlike all other restaurants I go. Oh, well executed parody and title play! Frying 5 Chicken Thighs, 5 Chicken Breasts, and 5 Chicken Drumsticks! Oh, I'll even throw some extra wings!

DJ - Why did the Aggie cross the road?
He had a chicken stapled to him.

Eggsellent parody and you gave us the bird at the same time. I don't blame you for quittin'. You didn't even make chicken scratch. Great title sub - I did two on Saddam - the first when he went missing - "He's Gone to Tikrit to Hide": and the 2nd when they actually caught him where I said he'd be, called "He's Gone to Tikrit to Hide". I never thought about chicken with this parody - very original idea.

Parody was "sizzling", DJ!! I'll have the $5.55 meal!

Thanks to Christie, Susanna, Guy, metaphorbwithu, and Mark Scotti! I agree this was a very original idea.

Great job, and very unique with a great title sub as mentioned above. I'm not much of a chicken eater, but I had the exact same problem with not being paid enough and working too much at two different places (TJ Maxx and Stein Mart) as the guy in your parody. Here's a $555 raise in pay.

as much as I hate the beatles (I'm probably in the minority there huh?) this was actually a pretty funny parody the "Poultry Beware!" line is classic! 555

Nice parody, DJ. I'll have the 5-piece combo dinner.

BTW, I see you waded into the political arena here too:

We all blame economy

The price won't go down, yeah!

Food will never be free

When Bush is around....

You let me know when the food is free. ;-D

I've known some chicks that could make any man fry, sadly enough those men were often the ones ending up the mealticket, not the other way around.

The pacing was impressive, DJ. And some great refrain subs. Sorry to hear about your woes if this is autobiographical.

You don't get paid but you still need to pay to eat there? It sounds like my job at Disney World (with all of the rent and taxes they take out I barely get paid). Just for kicks my Security Code is: "DJV" DJ Blaze

(SOTM) Okay, so that'll be one Beatles parody with extra LOL's, a Nailed-Pacing Shake and a TMGLTM pudding. Would you like 5's with that?

A lot better than I was expecting from the title sub, to be honest :-) Beautifully sad & OTT tale.
