Song Parodies -> Up! Down! Hurl!
| Original Song Title: | "Uptown Girl" |
| Original Performer: | Billy Joel |
| Parody Song Title: | "Up! Down! Hurl!" |
| Parody Written by: | Stuart McArthur |
I thought 'hurl' was a universal synonym for 'vomit' - but googling suggests it is Aussie-centric vernacular - so, non-Aussies, "to hurl" is "to chuck"
UP! DOWN! HURL!
Roller-coasting is an unreal world
If I eat some egg and bacon pie
it disintegrates across the sky
and lands nearby
UP! DOWN! HURL!
I ride coasters all around the world
aint a coaster where I haven't hurled
I've even vomited on uptown girls
(all through their curls)
coz when I go up
I throw up
the food I ate
it's quite a buzz
coz I love
to regurgitate
I love it when I've spewed
up my food
(some unchewed)
so it's UP! DOWN! HURL!
I have conjured up some glist'ning pearls
like a chicken that I ate, sans feet
yet somehow managed to regain, complete
(and with more meat)
oh oh oh oh-oh oh-oh ew-oh ew-oh
ew ew Ralph!
oh oh oh oh-oh oh-oh ew-oh ew-oh
ew ew Hugh!
UP! DOWN! HURL!
I like to see my latest lunch unfurl
so fascinating to see IT agin!
- comes out reverse of how I put it in
(and with topspin)
I try to wait 'til
the main hill
(before the drop)
and then I open
my throat 'n
disgorge the lot
I proceed to - wreck my car
like a scene by - Peckinpah
when I UP! DOWN! HURL!
(it's unreal-er than MacLaine Shirl)
I can fill my carriage up knee-high
even if there wasn't much inside
it's nutri-cide
oh oh oh oh-oh oh-oh (spit)-oh (spit)-oh
(spit) (spit) Ralph!
oh oh oh oh-oh oh-oh (spit)-oh (spit)-oh
(spit) (spit) Bjork!
UP! DOWN! HURL!
It's Up....
Down....
Hur-ur-url
(in case you're confused)
UP! DOWN! HURL!
It's Up....
Down....
Hur-ur-url
(this carriage is used)
UP! DOWN! HURL!
It's Up....
Down....
Hur-ur-url
(you don't seem amused)

I think hurl is pretty common over here too (enough for two people to write songs called "Everybody Hurls", and a Wayne's World staple). This song had it's ups and downs but was a fun ride overall!
Please submit this for SOTM... it would make me SICK if you didn't ; ) 555
This is a certified McArthur CLASSIC! You freakin' star...SOTM entry or I'm comin' after ya...555
Funny! And "hurl" is a commonly-used term in the USA, although I can't remember ever hearing it before "Wayne's World" came out.
funny concept...and i can SO relate...5s
Voting up: 5s
Stu, there aren't enough suphurlatives for this parody! Fivers! I have never had this problem with roller coasters though. For some reason, when I visit amusement parks, I only get nauseous in the house of mirrors!
Just another set of 5s here. I don't get sick on roller coasters either or the house of mirrors but those I-MAX 180 screens and "Whirl and Hurl" type rides that spin you around make me ill for hours.
Blowing you five chunks.
You earned 5s just for the Shirley MacLaine line. The title and the rest of the parody were very good, too.
Puke this puppy up for SOTM, you nauseous Aussie! Great job!
Loved it! 555!
AWESOME! Great rhyming throughout, LOL for the "Bjork" et al. Right, I reeeally need to start my essay now.
wow, thanks everyone
thanks Jeff - the reason I doubted "hurl" was in universal coinage was because it didn't appear as a synonym for vomit in rhymezone.com
thanks DAK and Kristof for that suggestion, which I'll now have to take seriously ;-)
thanks Olvan and alvin (hoping one day I'd get to say that!) and thanks John :)
LOL Rick - actually the amusement park mirrors are fine with me - it's my bathroom one I'm not speaking to
Thanks Red Ant - yeah naming it "Whirl and Hurl" pretty well eliminates the element of surprise - who says there's no truth in advertising
thanks Michael P and John J
thanks Johnny D, and I'm tipping making you nauseous is no easy feat - my work here is done......*rides off*
thanks Jack!
thanks Luke, for highlighting my Bjork!! - and surely you mean "really need to FINISH my essay now" - I think I need to have a talk with your parents

This is more than a parody....It's a musical comedy!...great stuff here...Fantastic rhymes and lines...I'll gladly upchuck fives,,
I reeeaaally wish I did mean that. Nah, I'm 75% of the way through as of now. Need a break though, my guardian people's dog turns ten today so they're having friends over soon. I have to high-tail it outta this library before it closes. Parody still hilarious 5 hours later!
Nice title, hey..
oh, er, thanks AFW * wipes *
uh huh, Luke, your guardian's dog's birthday, huh?....the library's closing, huh?....pen's run out of ink, huh?....(sheesh, kids of today and accountability...total strangers!)
thanks Andrew D!!

Greatest one I've seen on this sight! I gave you your 18th 5-5-5 vote. Keep 'em coming:)
*blushes* Oh I'm sure THAT'S not true, Will (tee hee) - but thanks! :-)
does anyone know where I can get hold of a loan?
Super high 5's, Stuart. I think I've been in your car after you or somebody else hurled...why do you need a loan? In my world, you're rich if you can afford to throw away chicken feet lol.
even richer when you get them back fully-formed, Dee - the loan comment is ridiculous NOW, but it was funny (imho) when amiright was being bombarded by where-to-get-holf-of-a-loan spam. Chucky, in his wisdom, deleted the spam, thereby ruining my gag - typical - just can't get a break!
Great work Stu!!! Made me a tiny bit sick with all of the description but excellent nonetheless. ;)
Cookie! - welcome back, mate! - where ya been?????
Just been layin' low. Trying to kep myself out of trouble. ;)
Haven't been around much, so I hadn't seen this before, but fantastic idea, and hilarious execution, mate!
SOTM: Love a good Billy Joel parody. And lets see...Up-Down-Hurl, Whack-a-mole, Skeeball...a bunch of us could have an entire Amiright Themepark!
SOTM: Already voted and commented
(SOTMmay05) you sick bastard. 555
(SOTM) You could open a McArthur Park with complimentary barf bags, oh, nevermind... 5's!
(SOTM) Save some talent for the rest of us, would ya?! ;-)
(SOTM) Already voted and commented, but this is classy vomit humor ( a new genre ). I had given serious thought about following this up with "Puke from Whirl", but it didn't scan well.
Thanks, Leo - welcome back
thanks Jeff,again - and an Amiright Parodic Theme Park! - there's an idea - where's Overlord Kristof to organise it?
thanks DAK and Agri
thanks Tim from refraining (unlike Spaff) from the opportunistic use of a McArthur/barfer couplet
thanks Charlie - too too kind
thanks Red Ant, and I reckon it scans beautifully - I look forward to seeing it :-)

And if you want accountability
You’ve got to understand
Luke/It remains
Perfect straaangers... ;-)
BTW, there's a drink over here (and possibly all over the world) known as "The Green Elevator" (first it goes down, then it goes up), I suggest for us to can it and replace Coke/Pepsi with it as the big can in our AmIright themepark. ;-)

thanks K1, but please go easy on my fellow wombat - he assures me he'll finish his next essay the instant he gets back from the pub (post-hurl of course)
btw, love that Green Elevator (that's going on my cocktail menu)

(SOTM05) Hehe! Line I liked...(and with topspin) 5's
(SOTM) You're crazy, Stu.
SOTM--see above!
Love it. I haven't been able to come up with a decent sub for "Uptown Girl" - fortunately it's now a moot point. I especially love all the parenthetical bonus rhymes, and kudos for squeezing Bjork, Shirley MacLaine, and Sam Peckinpah into a parody about throwing up on roller coasters. And I can't believe I called you McBarfer before I even saw this - you must just bring out the best in people.
(SOTM) Great job, Stuart. I, too can't resist a good Billy Joel parody and of course anything that involves amusement rides. Glist'ning pearls? Bjork? You make vomiting sound soooo fun! Oh, by the way, I know I'm still new here, but I want in on the Amiright Parodic Theme Park. Just let me run the fun house (perfect for my brand of humor). Keep your hands and feet inside during the whole ride. Tri-Fives!
(SOTM) See above.
SOTM--is it a good thing that this parody made me a little queasy? ; ) Nice job, Stuart.
Still refluxing brilliant.
Some great subs in here and a great rhyme scheme.
guy01:"There's no way to combine Up-Chuck and Uptown Girl"
guy02:"He found a way"
guy01:"There's no way to combine Up-Chuck and Uptown Girl"
guy02:"He found a way"
(SOTM) I'm glad I encouraged you to enter this. Rip-snortin' stuff
thanks adagio, scathe, jeff
thanks Spaff - you and Rick Springfield are the only people who know the meaning of "moot"
thanks Mikey - new to this? - don't you have about 70 parodies on the board already? - and yes, I might take that idea of an Amiright theme park seriously
thanks Johnny, Arwen, Lake (Eyre?), 2nz
thanks Kristof - so what parody should I enter this month for you to beat!!! :-(

(U05)Dommented/voted. I see I still like the same line (with a topspin) 5's
USING BJORK ASWELL AS HURL MASTER CLASS IN PARODY WRITTING
(ABCU05) Still one of my favorites of yours Stu. This is going to be another tough letter.....
Much better than those random rides that just spin you in circles... Now those make me hurl.... Like the Tilt-A-Whirl, more like the Tilt-N-Hurl.... But, uhm... Where was I going with this.... Oh, yes.... Now I remember... 5's!!!
(ABC) I see you're regurgitating this for the U's, Stu (regurgitated...geddit? :-{ )...this is still stupendous.
(ABC05) McArthur's Park of amusement is still a laugh a minute.
(ABC) Take 55.5 mg of Dramamine and see above!
(ABC Finals) See above!
