Parody Written by:

The Lyrics

Just a couple of "deal-breakers" when it comes to the opposite sex...
Don't bathe in your co-logne
A sprinkle will do
You don't need to douse it--makes you smell worse than the zoo
I'm not a fan
I'm not a fan, man
I'm not a fan, man, they can smell you in Japan
And you know that ain't good

Don't tell me you want to
Cuddle J-Lo's thigh
Then get all annoyed when I talk to another guy
I'm not a fan
I'm not a fan, man
I'm not a fan, man, let me do the things you can
I hope I'm understood

A fan you won't make, with these huge mistakes
Don't be jealous or suspicious
If I could have just three wishes
I'd want a guy who'd do the dishes

Oh, don't cover a bald spot
Combing over hair
If you do, you won't find me around you anywhere
I'm not a fan
I'm not a fan, man
I'm not a fan, man, and I'll never hold your hand
Don't think an-y girl should

A fan you won't make, slamming on the brakes
And you'd better be judicious
I want someone who's ambitious
Sorry if I'm sounding vicious

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Don't call me your girlfriend
Tell your folks we date
Don't use me to cover so your family thinks you're straight
I'm not a fan
I'm not a fan, man
I'm not a fan, man; neither is your boyfriend Dan
He feels misunderstood

No, I'm not a fan, man, and I gotta make demands
To find a man that's good

ha ha - funny, Arwen "I'm not a fan, man, they can smell you in Japan" very tight - 555

Boy howdy! This is unbelievably good! "They can smell you in Japan" is priceless. And the last verse had me apoplectic with glee...super! 555

excellent, Arwen
Ingeborg S. Nordén - October 07, 2004 - Report this comment
Brilliant work as usual--very well rhymed and paced, and the no-holds-barred criticism contrasts beautifully with the childlike sickly-sweetness (no pun intended) of the original song. Fives all round!

I'm not gay, my boyfriend Dan is... Very clever Arwen, great parody.

"Now don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright."
"But that won't keep me warm while I'm here at Amiright, yeah."

Oh Ravyn! What a compliment! I know I try to keep to the "silent shake" while I'm at work...but sometimes you HAVE to laugh out loud. So glad I could provide that release for you!! Thanks!

Does this mean he's NOT "too sexy for Milan, New York and Japan"? But make your man wash the dishes? That lets me out. Here in the 21st Century, we have these amazing machines called dishwashers.

Thanks for the welcome Arwen - I love this site, and your parodies (and you) are refreshingly personable and cool....

Oh Stuart! You've been here a week and you're already hip to the "Arwen is the most refreshingly personable and cool chick this side of Rivendell" vibe that's floating around? ; ) You ARE astute!

Seriously though...thank you VERY much for a lovely compliment.

Arwen - October 08, 2004 - Report this comment
Thanks so much, Phil! I honestly just threw this one together the other night before I went to bed...maybe I should stop TRYING so hard the rest of the time...=)
Phil Alexander - October 08, 2004 - Report this comment
Those are often the ones that work best: when you have to rack your brains for every other line, they never flow quite as well. Recently I've taken to leaving unfinished anything I can't polish off in a few minutes (with one or two exceptions), but jotting down some ideas to go with. Then every so often I review the half-finished bunch and there's usually something that jumps out at me.
Arwen - October 08, 2004 - Report this comment
Phil, for my whole parody writing life that's how I've been. And, for the most part, that's still how I am. I'll be driving along and a line will hit me...and I just kind of build around it. By the time I get back to my office, or home...or to a random laptop that I can snake from an unsuspecting cafe customer who's gotten up to get a refill...I've basically got the whole thing written in my head.

Still...every once in a while...when I hit a little writer's block...I find myself trying too hard. And I'm just very recently coming out of a funk like that...

Wow, great! Gee, Arwen, your parody writing is of such high quality, I wish we could see more quantity, too.

P.S. What Spaff said.

Aww...thanks, Johnny! All I can say is that if I try too hard to submit more than I'm already submitting, I fear that the submissions will suck. And then...you'll all be saying..."Yeah, Arwen...I'm not a fan!"

Totally missed this when it came out. This was great: "If I could have just three wishes I'd want a guy who'd do the dishes" My wife loved this line (and when I do the dishes)...what were the other three wishes? Also, I agree on the quantity/quality thing =)
Arwen - November 02, 2004 - Report this comment
Oh Jeff...you really know how to ask the hard questions, don't you? Bastard. Um...3 wishes...

1. Looks like Vin Diesel
2. Sings like Kenny Chesney
3. Um...Does Dishes like Alice from The Brady Bunch??

Great stuff. And just so you know, I do all the dishes at my house. Plus I can sing like Vin Diesel. (he can't sing, right?)
Arwen - November 19, 2004 - Report this comment
Thanks Agri!

Claude...you know, this might make you (and many others) cringe...but being the obsessive entertainment news hound that I am...I have to break it to you that I read a while ago that Vin REALLY wants to re-make "Guys and Dolls." That's right...dancing and singing...and you KNOW I'd watch it! I've heard him sing. I'm not complaining. But then...he could cough and I'd probably think it was sexy...

Very well done, Arwen, but I'm curious about how you learned about all of these male imperfections. I'm certain that the men in your life do not have bald spots to cover over or exhibit any of the other flaws described in your parody.
