Song Parodies -> Oh! Starling

Original Song Title:	"Oh! Darling"
Original Performer:	The Beatles

Parody Song Title:	"Oh! Starling"
Parody Written by:	Mark Scotti

From one of my favorite movies and novels: What would a love letter from Hannibal Lecter to Clarice Starling look like?

Oh! Starling, please say eat me
I'll savor you from the start
I want you all inside me
Then we'll never ever part

Oh! Starling, never leave me
Come over soon for some fun
For me, it's so ful"filling"
For you, it's dinner for one

You helped my escape, didn't need Graham anymore
I planned your boss's brains, to be fried
And then you helped me, from Mason and the boars
Then I knew I wanted you, as my bride

Oh! Starling, please complete me
A love meal just like fine art
My desire's unending
I'll make a flambe with your heart

Oh! Starling,come to see me
I hunger for your left hand
Scream, but I can tell you
I'll silence all of your lambs

"Oh, Scotti, please believe me. You written songs from your heart. So please go entertain me. Then we'll never, ever part." Very impressive, Mark! I always loved Silence of the Lambs. My fave line is "Hello, Clarice". It's all good! 555!!!

Great book, great film, great parody

Thanks Andy, and you are absolutely right. That was one of the all time best "Movie was just as good as the book" scenario!!!

(ABC5O) Wow, this was a strange-yet-incredible idea if there ever was one! 555

(ABC5 O) The theme and written words, along with the plaintive cry of the OS, work really well here. There are parts where the phrasing is off a little and there is a second chorus in the OS, which could have been added with different words.

What's all this talk about fava beans when we all know ol' Hanny ate human beans. Mark - I could actually hear Anthony Hopkins singing this as I read it in that "Hello Clarice" tone in his voice. Lambtastic.

A "slice" of spring "lamb" and thanks to you, Guy!!

If you read this with a dirty mind you're bound to find something even more funnier than you would if you were a nun for example: "I want you all inside me" had me cracking up... On the other hand reading it out right "I'll make a flambe with your heart" was a great line as also was "I'll silence all of your lambs"

Mark Scotti - September 01, 2009 - Report this comment

"Fulfilling" thanks to you, Matthias!

Melanie Lee - September 03, 2009 - Report this comment

(ABC) Clever idea, great start, but then some of your pacing got rough, some wrong syllables were accented, and some some lines fell flat for me. I'll give you credit for the clever idea and the great start. 5-4-4.

Thanks for the vote & advice, Melanie.

(ABC5) I don't know who or what Hannibal Lecter is, but just the idea of a love song about eating someone is just brilliant enough for it not to matter. 555 for you (sucking noises)!

Mark Scotti - September 04, 2009 - Report this comment

Hungry thanks to you, bobpie!!

ABC5(O) As I read along with the OS, I noticed 4 lines missing near the end...Otherwise, great concept and execution...555

Mark Scotti - September 04, 2009 - Report this comment

Thanks, Leo. It was an early work, and yes, i did concentrate on the concept and execution..

Red Ant - September 04, 2009 - Report this comment

Great ending!

Below Average Dave - September 04, 2009 - Report this comment

Something tells me that Hannibal wouldn't eat Clarice under any circumstances as he 'only eats the rude' . . .so to speak. That aside, I thought this was a very fun idea Mark, and disturbing at the same time. One problem with this O.S. is it leaves you very little to work with unfortunately, but still clever idea and well written
