Song Parodies -> The Yankees Sweep Tonight
| Original Song Title: | "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" |
| Original Performer: | The Tokens |
| Parody Song Title: | "The Yankees Sweep Tonight" |
| Parody Written by: | Michael Pacholek |
The OS came out in 1961, a year when the Yankees won the World Series. Then again, in 2009, with tokens long gone from the Subway system, maybe the original group should be renamed the Metrocards.

Don't like the Yanks and hope they get theirs, but gave you 555 for the parody. You have a right to celebrate after the big weekend. OS really matches your exuberance.
Yanks by a score of 5-5-5 to 0! ;D
The Yankees get enough privilege as it is. Let 'em eat cake. ;) Still, this bitter Rangers fan will spring for peanuts and Cracker Jacks for you!
"Beat 'em Bucs" 1960 world series - Bill Mazeroski wins game 7 for the Pittsburgh Pirates with a one run homer in the tenth inning breaking a tie game with no score. I was a grase school kid living in the greater Pittsburgh area when the Yanks were beat down by the Bucs. They need more beat downs like this one.
Now that I'm done trashing your Yankees, Michael I won't beat down your parody. This is well done. High fives for you on this. .

Sir, Lord Pacholek, this is cute . . . even for one living in GiantsLand (birhplace of the Yahkee clipper)!
i laughed despite my dislike of the yanks
Great OS to do this to. Timely and wonderful!
555 games ahead...
I echo Timmy 1000's comment since I dislike the Yankees (aka the Evil Empire), but I gave the parody perfect 5s because it paces well with the OS.
YOU HAVE TALENT!
