I have said before that quality does not always depend on how funny it is but at times on songs that are heartfelt and may hit home with some people. You may know me as a runner who writes songs about running. I call my group the poetic runners even though I don't really have a group although I wish I did. This song can teach people while it is good to want to be healthy and in shape it is equally dangerous to get so thin to the point of starvation and death. This goes for not only people who starve, eat and purge but also for people who eat and exercise way beyond normal extremes. A great lesson can be learned from this song.
Hey, thanks for the commentary! And this particular parody had been ignored for so long! Happy Valentine's Day!
Personally, I enjoy certain foods far too much to ever make myself want to throw them up. 5s on a terribly over-looked parody!
It was pretty repetitious I would have liked to see some variation but with what's presented I don't see anything wrong so I guess it's a good parody in that sense.
(ABC)Hope she doesn't hit 555 lbs., but your parody sure did!!
This could definitely be seen as poor taste by some...but I especially admire the twists on the African chanting.
(ABC) well I DKTOS but I've got an idea it's somewhat repetitive - which would justify your repetitiveness here Melanie - it reminds me of the South Park sketch where Kate Moss (I think) turns around to face the other way, and becomes invisible at the halfway mark - 555
