The Lyrics

Goodbye pork and beans
Wished I'd never chewed you at all
You had the gas within yourself
That led to my downfall

I sprawled out on the woodwork,
And I whispered in so much pain,
"Please help me, I feel so ill -
I got too close to that flame ! "

Call emergency - I burned my ass
On a candle, breaking wind
Never knowing how much pain this stunt would land me in
Now I'm wishing I'd never done that
I acted so stupid
I dropped my pants not long before
Onto that flame I slid

Drunkenness was fun
The biggest drink bar-tenders made
How I would guzzle like a superstar
My brain was the price I paid

Then my buddies tried
To impress each other through
That old stupid candle game
Where your flatulence would turn a flame blue

Call emergency - I burned my ass
On a candle, breaking wind
All my buddies howled with laughter till they smelled burnt skin
Now I'm wishing I'd never done that
I'm feeling so stupid
My buddies cheered not long before
Onto that flame I slid

Goodbye pork and beans
Wished I'd never chewed you at all
You had the gas within yourself
That led to my downfall

Goodbye pork and beans
Now I'm in the burn ward's 22nd row
I see you as something no longer edible
Just a source of flatulence and woe

I still can't believe - I burned my ass
On a candle, breaking wind
I was laughing like a drunk fool till the pain set in
Now the burn unit is my new home
And I feel so languid
The doctors here are wonderful
They gave me Di-lau-did

Thanks Diva, WM, and Meriadoc! My apologies to the honorable Knight - but it's just a flamin' parody, so where's yer bleedin' sense of humor?

Quite possibly the funniest thing I've seen on this entire site. I was laughing out loud. You rock.

Very clever, very well rhymed. I like the way you turn a song that tries to be profound into a parody that tries (and succeeds) to be everything but profound.

ABC Competition 2004:Like John Jenkins said, you took the piss out of something so serious. Good story-telling with humor.444

I like these words much more than the original: come to think of it, that isn't actually much of a compliment, as the original is one of my least favourite songs, ever... this is a fitting twist to it, IMO, given how much the original, er.., blows ;-)

Don't let Johnny near open flame. :D That's dangerously gassy. 5's
Johnny D - May 04, 2004 - Report this comment
Thanks Adagio! I studied amongst the fumes of the Master-of-Gas-Blasters, our mutual friend and colleague Guy DiRito, to whom I bow out of respect for his supreme flatulence-parody-creativity!

Oh, Johnny Angle, you're such a gas. Marilyn and Diana would be honored. I know *I* would be.

(ABC Contest) - OUCH!!! Great job, Johnny. 5's. You know, way back in the early 60's my older brother David's friends were for the most part a pretty wild and drunken bunch. When they were about 17 or maybe 18 a bunch of them (not my brother, happily) made a reel-to-reel video tape of a few of them doing the trick (yes, they were all very, very smashed). I witnessed the tape once many years later. I don't know if any of them suffered physical damage but I wouldn't be surprised if they did. Oh...there was another "event" where one participant (not shown on camera) would hurl oranges like a baseball pitcher at a the object participant, who was waste-down naked, facing away from the camera and bent over so as to expose the dangling participle and accompanying "cojones". Object: strike said cojones with said hurled oranges. I don't know how the contest was judged...

Wow John. I don't leave a lot of comments... and even fewer positive ones, but this song really caught my attention. It flowed amazingly well and told a hilarious story. 5,5,5 from me.

Thank you Paul Robinson ("cojones"? OUCH is RIGHT!!), Loosekanen (The Armstrong), and Peregrin!

This is the closing weekend for The Concord Players production of "1776", so I have not had much time to spare for parodies and reading/voting/commenting over the past few days, nor today as well, but I hope to get back into the flow next week. Thanks again!

Usually I don't judge other people's parodies but this one was too good not to, all 5's from me, as soon as I can stop laughing whenever I read it.
