"Super Size Me".... Yeah, that's exactly what that food does just as Morgan Spurlock...
The warnings live on of those cheeseburgers downed
In the film that they call "Super Size Me"
That food, critics said, well, it may make you dead
With the pies, and the burgers, and smoothies
With a load of lard stored, 26,000 kilos or more
Thus the Ronald McDonald weighted heavy
That fatty fast food, had a bone to be chewed
So a guy who's named Morgan came gnawing
That food made us wide all the Americans whined
Starting back with some grill in Wisconsin
As the big people go, we were bigger than most
With our food, and drink fountain well seasoned
Excluding the germs of the Happy Meal firms
Well, they weren't fully happy, but peeved man
And later that night down Spurlock's fangs
Could it be the heartburn he'd been feeling?
The fat bought by buyers made their arteries impound
And a wave of nausea they're spraying
And every man knew, as Morgan did too
Twas the glitch of the Mickey-D's slaying
The spawn of new date, with the breakfast on his plate
With the tail of some hog in McMuffin
Soon the afternoon came, and he binged again
Stuffed his face with the fries like they're nothing
When suppertime came the main cook made a wreck
Serving fellas "though quite tough to feed "em
At 7pm the bad gassing waved in
Due to Big Macs and the Fries of Freedom
Then Morgan wandered in he had hunger once again
Though his doc said, "Your health is in peril"
And later that night, his scale gave him a fright
Thus the wreck of the Ronald McDonald
Does anyone know where the creatures God chose?
When it comes to the food Chick McNuggets?
Researchers all say they still look to this day
Yet they can't find a bird in these targets
Morg might have thrown up with his stomach capsized
He might be a creep wanting slaughter
Now all that remains of past traces and remains
Of his life are his buns and hamburgers
Now Morgan "rolls" superiorly
Thus the ruins of McDonald's contraption
Size 28 jeans were a young man's dreams
Now ice creams, and pies are for Morgan
The point of this show? Hell, I dunno
Take note that fast food won't surrender
As the war of food goes, the dieters all know
They're impaled with hamburger dismembered
In a medical hall in Detroit he laid
At the Suppertime Healers Hospital
The heart buzzer whined, keeping Morgan alive
Weird, This man didn't sue that McDonalds
The warnings live on of those cheeseburgers downed
In that film that they call, "Super Size Me"
Superior it's slays never gives up till dead
With it's pies, and the burgers, and smoothies
In the film that they call "Super Size Me"

This had me right from the title...and after reading it, "I'm lovin' it"....a beyond fantastic effort, here!...a classic contender..You get super fives with that..
A great piece ! You want fives with that burger?
Don't know the original, but 555 anyway, very good.
It's dreck that they serve at McDonalds. 555 grams.
brilliant piece of work...i'm a fellow who was repulsed by "supersize me" and worked at mc d.s as my very first job
Would you like some 5's with your order, Matthias? =)
excellent - superfivesworthy!
It wouldn't be an official Edmund Fitzgerald parody if I didn't at least comment. A few mistakes, but some of the puns were atrocious enough to cover for them. (Come to think of it, I'll have to remember the word "atrocious" the next time I write one.) Five all-beef patties.
Excellent work, Matt. I try to watch that movie once a month just because I eat better for a while after I watch it. But my personal life aside, excellent use of the original in here. That's some serious attention to detail. TMGLTM, but "With the tail of some hog in McMuffin" and "Starting back with some grill in Wisconsin" were inspired.
Captures the "flavor" of the OS well. You deserve a break today: 555
Thanks; AFW, PD, SH, JB, AR, Cat, SM, MP, 2nz, and TT.... glad you enjoyed it... Glad you actually saw the original film must be a pretty popular film... May you all stay healthy and far away from Mickey-D's
I have to second pretty much all comments except Step-chans (I do KTOS). You had 5s just with the title, the rest was great too. ;-)
Thanks, RA
Amazingly yummy parody
Thanks LH
ABC3 - Supersize it!
(ABC) Clever new take on an old folk ballad!
This is high-calorie humor. You should look at my "Too Much Cholesterol At Breakfast-time", but this one took more work.
(ABC3-W) Phat and Phunny! 555
(ABC3) Funny stuff, a little too much poetic license on the rhyme schemes for me.
(ABC3W) Nice skewering of the fast food industry, Matty. I've seen the film and havent been into Mickey D's since. Burger King, on the other hand...;-) 555
p.s: My security code for this post is KFC...honest!
(ABC3-W) See above!
ABC - I salute you. This song is awesome. 5-5-5
(ABC) see above - and extra kudos for coming up with this OS for Ronald McDonald, and finding 14 verses of material
(ABC) A pleasure to revisit after all this time! Oddly poetic for the subject matter, and I liked how it kept the slant rhymes of the OS.
(ABC) McDonald's - bad. This parody - good!
(ABC3) That's gotta be a lot of poo!
