The Lyrics
Ah-ah Don't touch that dial!
I must offer to you a confession
I like TV that claims to be real (Oh-noooooooo!!!)
Whether it's Trump's Apprentice
Or Fear Factor's menace
I find they've a mindless appeal
You may call it my brainless obsession
That's an epithet at which I bridle
But I've had the most fun
Watching singers like Hung ---
They're the worst of American Idol (blah, blah...)
(boo hiss boo, blah, blah, blah...)
I've seen goons croon like goblins on acid
I've heard star-stricken no-talent geeks (HEEhaw!)
They're all singin' and rappin'
But mostly just crappin'
Like psy-chotic self-esteem-freaks ("I'm GOD!")
Talent's no pre-requisite
Just a body with signs that are vital
If your I.Q. is 10
You can be one of them ---
The worst of American Idol (blah, blah...)
(boo hiss boo, blah, blah, blah...)
There's Oscars and Tonis and Emmys
There's Grammys and Golden Globes too
By picking my nose
I should win one of those,
If them "Idol" contestants can too!
Simon Cowell's stomach is churnin'
It's amazing he's not homicidal
Lesser men would go mad
Hearing singers so bad ---
The worst of American Idol
Like a farting King Kong,
They stink strong an' sing songs ---
The worst of American Idol --- Olè!
" 'Olè' ? That's brilliant! "

funny as hell even if you're not a fan of the show...and i'm not...5s
Expressively humorous, like an arrangement of limericks..555
Thanks, alvin and AFW.
And, AFW, you're correct --- the parody works both with the original song's music and also as a stand-alone arrangement of limericks.

DKTOS, but this is so dead-on that I'm fivin' it.
Thanks, JB ---- the original song plays automatically at the link at the top of the parody --- it's free and complete, on someone else's website.
What a fun song and parody, Johnny!! Really fits together...I think I'll listen again. ; ) just for me.. (Heeheehee)
Working at an amusment park during Halloween you hear this song loads so I've become very acustom to this song... But I still don't know what is scarier, Monsters or Non-Stars...
Worse than The Gong Show, but this parody isn't - 555.
masterful as usual, Johnny D. You were probably just being ironic, but I DO confess: I LOVE "Survivor" (but I HATE Australian Idol) - 555
Heard this one on Dr. Demento on Halloween, and this was a really good parody, so true. 5's
Thanks Adagio, Matthias, 2Eagle, Stuart, and Larry.
Great job! Always loved TOS, but it never occurred to me to parody it. 555
Thank you, Ravyn!
