| Parody Written by: | Jack Wilson |
Meant to finish this earlier,but I still had more ideas,so here it is! If ya havent seen it yet dont read,cause this is a scene by scene spoiler almost . For the intermission part If someone could find the music, or even better a vid of the actual part from the movie where the screen says "intermission", if ya can than when it says intermission, actually watch/listen to it, then go to the parody
Here are some real knights
Led by Arthur, the king
They’re searchin; day and night
For the grail that’s holy
Just a few knights
Played by Monty Python see
Lancelot’s brave and.Belvedere’s pretty smart
But Sir Robin’s not that brave,no
His quality’s quite low
And even there’s Sir Not Appearing In This Parody
Not he!
Black Knight’s lost all his limbs
There’s a guy that’s not quite dead
And I think his name is Fred
Their journey it must begin
But that French guy will go insult away
”Arthur,BOO!”
”Your mother was a hamster”
”And your father he smelt like elderberries”
”And I fart, right in your, general direction”
Here’s your Trojan rabbit
Delivered by us knights
See ya jerks some other time
I’ve heard this enchancter, named Tim,he knows
Galahad went Castle Anthrax,must spank that Zoot
Lance-loo-ot, ,saved the prince from marriage
Then the Prince he died
He just never got the chance to sing at all
INTERMISSION
(cue intermission music from the movie here, couldnt find an mp3 file of the music that wasnt the same length)
I see a forest with some crazy effin’ knights
They say Ni! They say Ni! And want a shrub-ber-ry
No one has survived them, cut down trees with herrings!
Killer rabbit
Killer rabbit!
Killer rabbit!
Cute not quite
He killed some knights oh no!
Holy hand grenade? Hand it over here please
Gotta throw this into this big cave now
Maybe we’ll eat all Robin’s minstrel’s
Easy come easy go-,will you let me go-
Let us all run from that big black beats of Aaargh
King Arthur! ,yes, we will now let you know!
Lancelot! On the bridge we must go!
Galahad! What’s your favorite color?
Air speed of swallow? I don’t know!
Unladen ,African or European?
Ni!
Ni!
Ni!
Ni!
Ni!
Ni!
Hey Bridgekeeper, hey Bridgekeeper, who’s very wise and old
You must ask us the number of questions three, just three, just THREEEEEEE
So you think we should answer stuff from that guy?
To find the holy grail he is our guide
Oh lieges, just you listen to me lieges
Answer em all! Let’s answer em all right here!
Now we gotta battle
Just like the last csene
I think we found the grail, yeah we found that grail, you see
Off the bridge the knights go….

I like Monty Python.
NO ONE?
CRAP its cause of what I said about not reading it for spoilers right? DAM!
Don't worry, man. I've seen the movie & heard this song, so I know what you're talking about. 5-5-5 shrubberies for you. You're fortunate compared to me, because I wrote a Spider-Man parody of Kelly Marie's "Feels Like I'm In Love", and no one's voted and/or commented on it. However, I think this may be more about original song choice than of spoilers about the 3 Spider-Man movies. If you want to, you can check it out at http://www.amiright.com/parody/70s/kellymarie0.shtml
Great job of synopsizing a funny flick.
Thanks Dylan and John!/ Dylan, I checked that out, and while it was good, the OS is really obscure. Thanks to whoever else rated this and didnt comment
good
Wow... this must have taken some time... 5-5-5
Thanks Ann and Mr. MePhisto uhhhh MACPhisto ,yup 2 days!
This ALMOST did as good as I thought
5s.
wonderful last line Jack - had a little difficulty with the pacing, but I haven't seen the film in a while, and it was great to be reminded of all the detail, eg, the shrubbery - lol - 555
Thanks Step-chan and Stu. This is one of my SOTM choices for this month, woulda been last month's entry if I'd sent it in earlier ,and finsihed it earlier
Sometimes they call me...Tim
Hey Jack, great job on a tough song here. A couple pacing glitches, but overall very well done. I wasn't worried about the spoilers because this is one of my favorite movies (and now broadway plays) of all time, and I really enjoyed your take on it!
Syncornos: LMAO "You wish to seek the graiiiilllllllll?"
Jeff: Thanks, LOL I saw the play when it came here a couple weeks ago,HILARIOUS
Jeff: Thanks, LOL I saw the play when it came here a couple weeks ago,HILARIOUS
This could be your best yet, Jack. I 5'd you yesterday because I'm not a witch. THEY dressed me up like this.
Thanks Spaff! IIRC,YOU came up with the title in one of Phil's Monty Python parodies. Well, now its been done!
*Adopts Simon Cowell-esque posture*...y'know, Jack; this is pretty darn good. I usually shy away from movie tribute parodies, but I love THG, and this is cleverer than most. Pacing's still a bit off; keep working on it. Great job! 555
Thanks Kristof! Ah just dont like movie tribute parodies? Im glad ya checked this out! I love THG too!
Holy (Grail) Cow!!!!
(SOTM) It must have been very hard to work in the quotes, but you did an admirable job, Jack. THG is one of my favorite movies. I echo all the above praise. 555
(SOTM) A funny synopsis...a bit forced at times. Maybe "Life Of Brian" would work better? ;)
SOTM - The killer rabbits alone hade MP eligible for knighthood IMHO.
Great
(SOTM) See above.....NI! ;-)
(SOTM) A few pacing quibbles, but it's Monty Python so who gives a crap?
But...there is one small problem! I am no longer a Knight Who Says Ni! I am now a Knight Who Says 'Ecky-ecky-ecky-ecky-pikang-zoop-boing-goodem-zoo-owli-zhiv'.
But...there is one small problem! I am no longer a Knight Who Says Ni! I am now a Knight Who Says 'Ecky-ecky-ecky-ecky-pikang-zoop-boing-goodem-zoo-owli-zhiv'.
Favourite line had to be the "Sir Not Appearing In The Parody" one...
(SOTM) see above - some really good bits Jack, like "I see a forest with some crazy effin’ knights
They say Ni! They say Ni! And want a shrub-ber-ry" and some not-so-good bits, but definitely worthy of entering for SOTM
SOTM - Could use a little more work. You left out some bits, which hurts the flow somewhat, but the basic structure is there and that is good. If you spent a little more time massaging this, it could be incredible.
(SOTM) I don't know why, but when I hear this OS I remember my first ex. . .the one I threw away and regret doing so because everything went bad afterwards. . .teary eyed. . .sorry. . ."”Your mother was a hamster” cheered me up. . .um. . .I think your writing continues to improve, but pacing could have put this in contention for the top slot. . .you could use some fine tuning, but that's ok, I've been having those types of parodies a lot lately.
