Parody Song Title:

"How Can You Mend A Silent Fart"

Parody Written by:

Stuart McArthur

Works best if you can recall the plaintive breathy tones of the original


I can think of yesterday
when living a clean life
was everything a man could want to do....
I could not predict the sor-row....
a minor indiscretion in the lift to-mor-row

Coz......
how can you mend....a silent fart?
How can you stop the smell from seeping out?
How can you stop - that small eruption
that hardly makes a sound
oh, oh, how can you put.....a fart back in?
How can a farter ever win?
Please help me mend - my silent fart - so we can breathe again.

I can still feel the faint breeze - that rustled through my cheeks
that misty seepage in my underpants
I just wished it were tomor-row
no-one said a word - such pain and sor-row

so....
how can you stop.....a silent fart?
How can you stop your friends from breathing in?
How can you stop - the air polluting
How can a farter win?
oh, oh, how can you put.....a fart back in?
how can you stop this stupid grin?
Please help me mend - my silent fart - so we can breathe again.

I, too, am dying. I hate when I burst out in the office, because the ladies all look at me like I'm insane...(that's how they look at me, but I know that they are really just jealous that I am privy to hilarity like this and they are not...) 5s, Stuart...

555. It's not a problem if there are at least 2 other people (who don't know you and who don't know each other) with you on the lift.

interesting point, Johnny! - I'll have to do the math on that! - but something tells me, instinctively, that you may be right - thanks heaps for the 5s.............Arwen! - heaven is to make you laugh!....but (whispering) seriously, you and I both know those ladies are jealous mostly because you're a beautiful princess and they're not!

Dee...if you're wondering if I was laughing so hard that my boobs fell right out of the top of my shirt...you can just come right out and say it...; )

LOL!!!! I didn't stop laughing throughout the whole song! (tearfully) And thanks for making it to a BeeGees sqeaky song...I can replace these words with theirs. If I could, it would be way more than 5, but, still...5's.

I used to think that when I was a kid, 2Eagle, but my Mum told me it was just Satan burping.....Arwen - asked but not answered, your honour....
Stuart McArthur - October 15, 2004 - Report this comment
well thankyou adagio!! - I'm rapt you found it so funny! - those Bee Gees were so earnest weren't they??
Arwen - October 15, 2004 - Report this comment
I'll respectfully decline to answer...and let you all enjoy whatever images your imaginations give you.

Stuart, I always thought that the BeeGees sang that way, until I heard a pre-disco song of theirs. They sounded almost like Simon and Garfunkel on the song "New York Mining Disaster, 1949". I did one parody to it and would like to do another. Who told them they sounded better? lol yea...they were earnest, with the wrong voices.
Stuart McArthur - October 15, 2004 - Report this comment
as an Aussie, we grew up with the Bee gees thru the sixties, before they made it overseas, and they were very much Simon and G. I heard Barry interviewed and he said he tried a falsetto once, was amazed how naturally it came (apparently it's a rare talent, he said) and stuck to it.......I suppose it makes them distinctive (I like it sometimes - "Tragedy")

Quoting Rick from "The Young Ones' : "There's a vewwy farty smell in this room and it's definitely not coming from my bottom...". Excellent work stinking the Bee Gees out, Stuart!

well, it's much easier now there's only two of them, Pippin
