The Lyrics
My little tribute to the most prolific voice actor of all time. He's not at the top the "All Time Top 100 Stars at the Box Office" list for nothin', ya know. This also knocks off another Epic 40 song for me. Props to Red Ant and his parody of the same song for the layout and all the little vocal bits that my copy of the lyrics didn't have!

*Franky's Soundwave voice is just his Dr. Claw voiced with effects applied to it, for both G1 and ROTF Soundwave. Reedman is the thin bot that Ravage vomits up in ROTF. Grindor is the helicopter guy from ROTF (who's not the same helicopter bot from the first film). And yeah, he voiced the Giant Clams in an episode of SpongeBob.

Frank Welker has been around...most any cartoon character that gibbers, squawks and squeals in a cute way is usually him. Surprised you didn'tt include his work as "Slimer" on The Real Ghostbusters.
This is one of my least favorite Epic 40 songs, it was also under-rated when we made the original list (Level 9, boy were we off) Anyway, good job on this horrible OS, I look forward to your continued goal at completing the Epic 40, It was tough--and I'm sure Matty will soon join me as people who have completed it (I feel weird being the only one) but I think you are probably already in 3rd, so keep it up, maybe some day we'll have enough people complete it to get it as recognized as the (ahem) "Big 7"
I loved Dexter's Lab! Never knew about this guy until I read your parody today. Well done introducing him to the world. And yes, as soon as "Harry" is done I plan on finishing the Epic 40 and moving on to the next insane project.
B-52s are a personal fave, so I had to read. Nice job with an groovy oddball lyric. And now I know who Frank Welker is...a bonus!
I love Frank Welker! Nice tribute to the man of a thousand voices!
SOTM: Nice job! I was a little confused at first, but that is because I have a good friend named Frank WelTer...but now I have a complete bio of a great voice actor! 555 more voices
See above.
I love this guy, he's great with monster voices and animal voices too.
SOTM-JUL-10
Thanks for the education. If I ever need a voice over I'll know who to call upon. Fine tribute to a great voice technician. I looked him up on the WWW. I didn't realize just how much this guy did. Well worth the effort to write a parody about.

The man of a thousand voices meets the band of a thousand wacky lyrics, quite a dish, though I didn't realize the original was that long.
SOTM - Myself, I can only do 555 voiceovers, and they all LOL for this gem.
Excellent... I am familiar with his voice from my parents using the TV as a babysitter when I was a kid. One of your best parodies, about a great talent. I can talk like Donald Duck, or in falsetto, like Marge Simpson, or like Luanne from King of the Hill. 5s.
Oops... the above comment was supposed to have "SOTM July 2010" in it. Please forgive the faux pas.

Thanks for the shout-out, Pie-man. Yep, this is a bastard of an OS to do, well paced and great tribute to Frank. "And nobody was sounding Greek" lol.
(ABC) I almost heard the voice over as i was reading...LOL
(ABC) Wow this OSis off the wall. However this parody is a bullseye. Great tribute, I love Frank Welker!
Oh, and where can I find the Epic 40 list?
ABC: Previous comment still stands, great work!
(ABC) I had never heard of Frank Welker before this after I read this I looked him up and I've seen so many movies he's been in, I don't know how I didn't know of him.
I have to share this with Frank Welker fans and neophytes... http://mkbmemorial.com/FWHp/ . Apparently it is a fanpage; look for his parody of "Twelve Days Of Christmas", it is awesome.
See above. . .again
