| Parody Written by: | 2nz |
I'm done, that's it. I can't tell if this makes sense any more. I hope you enjoy it.
I said you wanna use oxymorons
If not then you may be morons
I know you wanna use oxymorons
Or go and make fun of mormons
With your dumb, plastic glasses (can’t see)
Those fireproof matches (dammit)
I think you’re a butt head (butt head)
With backwards advances (wack-bards)
Some reluctant compliance (that hurts)
Political science (fund raise)
Good grief, your demeanor (grief’s good)
On non-dairy creamer (loser)
When you talk of your business ethics
I can tell that board room is hectic
Come on, head back to the street
Go out and have some bad sex
Buy unsalted Saltines
Watch these living dead scenes
Tell me what ‘taped live’ means
You know you wanna use oxymorons
A governmental organization
Supports your working vacation
I said your software documentation
Is genuine imitation
In the structure of programs (ha, ha)
The driving of Dodge Rams (crash, crash)
And almost exactly (wait, what?)
Impersonal crotch-cams (yes, wait…)
Some plain coffee at Dunkin’ (Venti)
While legally drunken (I’ll drive)
Twelve ounces of pound cake (all gone)
You ate on your work break (time’s up)
You say we’re alone together
While you sit, predicting weather
Sweet sorrow can’t make it better
She demanded that you let her
Watching all the sperm whales
I think they’re adult males
shorten up all of your tall tales
I’ve heard it’s fast as snail mail
I said a kinda numb feeling hugs me
When playing non-contact rugby
I have decided she’s pretty ugly
But nothing much really bugs me
Maybe drop your supporters (splat, splat)
A whole bunch of quarters (free games)
Deliberately thoughtless (OK)
Unbiased reporters (sure, NOT)
A dishonest confession (fooled you)
And passive aggression (yes, but…)
Try silently screaming (…)
It’s terribly pleasing (sure is)
Knowing mystery (Are you pissed at me)
Wrongly factual (Read the manual)
Current history (She was kissing me)
Dressing casual (maybe after all)
He’s refined and rude (And a punny dude)
So act natural (Like an animal)
Here’s some airline food (They all cursed and booed)
Maybe vegetables… ugh
Now this guy just said same diff-rence
And he taught me how to inf-rence
See, he wears unscented perfume
And he calls himself a bridegroom
Someone had a Sweet Tart
Quality at Wal-Mart
Take this liquid gas part
You dream of using these oxymorons
They say they educate on T-vision
They’re programming was found missing
We are together in this division
But only while jumbo shrimping
Anything that soft rocks me (really?)
When passages block me (Turn back)
Some feminine logic (ha ha)
Original copies (pre-owned)
I am wearing some tight slack (low-cut)
My estimate’s exact (kind of)
What spending will save me (need stuff)
A definite maybe (sort of)
Have a silent voice (In a rolling Royce)
Vegan cannibal (Is he passable?)
Make the only choice (Then go out, rejoice)
Still mechanical (And maniacal)
A computer jock (In his uber socks)
Newly classical (I am sick of rhymes)
It’s around the block (Scissor-ed paper rocks)
Freely radical… (huh?)
If you’re fresh food is frozen ()
As I was suppozin’ ()
You can’t put thoze in ()
Come on, fresh isn’t frozen ()
He’s an honest lawyer
And she’s a peaceful war-ior
Hopelessly optimistic
I understand it’s mystic
The military intelligences
Attack with their armed defenses
Now here’s a temporary tax increase
And forces to help with world peace
Stationery is moving (Slow down)
High-price sales are proving (SALE HERE)
Attracting a small crowd (queue up)
Uncomfortably soothing (Lower)
When you get freezer burning (cool it)
This straight has some turning (damn roads)
The wrong way is right-y (two wrongs)
So go left, and rightly (three lefts)
This isn’t what I need
I think it’s plastic wood
My words they didn’t heed
Clearly misunderstood
It’s unbelievable
This gas it tested, it’s
Synthetic natural
By Christian Scientists
Here’s one more
So they say
That it Works
At Microsoft
So they say
There are jerks
At Microsoft
The revenge
Of the Turks
At Microsoft
So they say
That it Works
At Microsoft
(Microsoft repeats [its mistakes] )

I knew this was a tough song to tackle when I did it, and I didn't it about a topic that you don't really need to stop and think about it, this one must have taken some time and thinking to peice together so perfectly, a strong SOTM contender if I do say so myself.
Amazing!
Uniquely all-embracing! I think you got all the good ones in except for happy marriage and honest politician!
wow...monumental job on this one...mind blowing in its depth
Practical nonsense. It's all here. The compendium of modern thinking.
:-) You got both my favourites (military intelligence and Microsoft Works). Can't remember how most of the OS goes, but I don't really care - this was superb.
This is an excellent piece of writing 2nz. One of the best I've seen here in a while. I agree with Matty...this is definately SOTM material.
Thanks for the kind words, Matt. I'd say your take on this song was what inspired me to try it in the first place.
Thanks John.
Thanks Peter (damn, happy marriage is a good one, too)
Thanks Alvin, most appreciated.
Thanks Tim, happy to see you still around.
Thanks Phil :c]
And thank you Invisible Boy, we'll see how next month goes. Will you be in next month?
SOTM(NOV)
No doubt that This parody underwent constant change as it was writen and was no easy task. It has at least even odds of being a hit using anything but lame skills as you hope for just a dull shine in the final version. You most likely turned this write inside out trying to make it into an instant classic. Hope it wasn't too much painless torture writing it. Writing parodies is fast becoming your full-time hobby. You did a fine job making the oxymorons in this parody clearly ambiguous and the stress of trying to write this must have had you in a cold sweat So glad you did not lose the original copy as you wrote this which would have made you feel pretty ugly that you were going nowhere quite fast. Because of rhyming restrictions I am sure that you could not put the oxys in random order as you probably wanted to but it amounted to the same difference in the end. The long and the short of it is that writing this important trivia was propabaly real serious fun and you must be terribly pleased by the dull roar or your silent applause. I hope future history is kind to you as you continue to write and amuse us. FIne write here 2nz.
I love Oxymorons and I like this parody. I've been known to use this subject matter writing them myself in the past. But alas, nostalgia is never w\quite what it used to be.

Guy: :c)
(WOTM) My brain hurts. Thaks for challenging me today, 2nz. :)
(SOTM) Wow, I loved this! Brilliant idea and great job putting it into the lyrics of the OS. Bad sex stands out of many great lines.
You know I love this one. It was sheer brilliance.
SOTM I don't know the OS, but the words were funny by themselves!
Damn, I just commented on Agri's that his is a big favorite of mine, but this one is too! Well, I've had worse problems than the tellapartability between excellent parodies I guess...
Great work
(SOTM) I do love a good oxymoron (though I do take issue with 'Christian Scientist'), and the OS is a total biatch, and you made it work somehow. 555 for you!
(SOTM) hmm, never thought of "pretty ugly" before - but wow! - only hardened amirighters can understand how someone can put so much time and effort into a song rewrite, and that's because we understand that this is our corner of the universe and we own the art and noone else understands - a write like this proves that we have all found like-mindeds - it was an honour to read this Glen - keep up the hard labour! - 555
This is the most cleverly written song that I've read for the competition and one of the most clever ones I've ever seen on the site. The only real downside is that the song whizzes by so fast that most of the oxymorons would be missed by almost everyone who listened to a recording or live performance of this.
(SOTM) Very well written to a song that seems to be becoming a staple here at AmIRight. But this one puts my podium version of this song out cold, and probably will beat out Matty's great version in the SOTY. . .AMAZING write.
Wow.
Double Wow.
this is definetly one of the best parodies i've ever seen sooo many great lines and uses of the title that it blew my mind very well done
wow is right. tmgomtm, but "Buy unsalted Saltines" was super funny.
Wow. This was very good. I never realized there were so many of those. I think you hit everything but 'civil war'. There was a nice mix of real ones and funny ones. Good job.
Adding more late here but I came across a good one yesterday, sorta; "deliberate misunderstanding" (we have an election coming up here so I'll constantly reminded of it over the next month) :-)
