The Lyrics
I was at this pet shop and this bird said "I Love You", of course parrots tend to repeat short phrases they here from other people, but it had a "Sold" sign on it, and the name Jason on the Sold note. . .thus a parody struck me. Obviously not a reference to the popular Jason on this site, just coincidence. I'm at badave.com I know this one took what happened to a whole new level, but I guess that's why I'm a parodist I can look at things like that (which was really kind of a cute moment) and make it something much more funny.
Jason has this bird
yeah, A parrot who stares at my behind
At first I thought "How Strange"
Now it's creeping out my mind
Jason's bought that silly bird
And he thinks that he's mankind
And he's staring at me with his eyes
And he thinks that he can get with me
Cause he said it
Yeah 'n' he's sweet talking using charms
When, turn the lights
You know, I'm kinda scared of Jason's bird
The stuff it says is so absurd
I think Jason should go buy a cat
One day that bird escaped his cage
and then he came at me wanting to engage
Hey bud, what is with that birdy
Why am I his pursuit
You know that bird is kinda crazy
How'd it learn the damn word "cute"
'Cos he's talkin' to me with that beak
And he's not copying off the T.V.
I just know it
And I think that he'll bring me harm
late, late one night
You know, I'm really scared of Jason's bird
Somehow I got his heart all stirred
Please take your creepy parrot pet back
It's Jason's bird
What he said I've not misheard
What is wrong with your parrot
What is wrong with your parrot Jason
So I stopped hanging out at Jason's place
Praying that bird would get over me
but it scared me
It hid behind my vase
I had to beg it to please just leave
Tell me, You ever heard a parrot so whacked
You know, I'm really sick of Jason's bird
It really cannot be deterred
Oh Yes, Jason's Bird
I think I need some therapy fast
It's Jason's Bird
I wish it didn't say flirt words
Please leave, please leave Jason's Bird
yeah, A parrot who stares at my behind
At first I thought "How Strange"
Now it's creeping out my mind
Jason's bought that silly bird
And he thinks that he's mankind
And he's staring at me with his eyes
And he thinks that he can get with me
Cause he said it
Yeah 'n' he's sweet talking using charms
When, turn the lights
You know, I'm kinda scared of Jason's bird
The stuff it says is so absurd
I think Jason should go buy a cat
One day that bird escaped his cage
and then he came at me wanting to engage
Hey bud, what is with that birdy
Why am I his pursuit
You know that bird is kinda crazy
How'd it learn the damn word "cute"
'Cos he's talkin' to me with that beak
And he's not copying off the T.V.
I just know it
And I think that he'll bring me harm
late, late one night
You know, I'm really scared of Jason's bird
Somehow I got his heart all stirred
Please take your creepy parrot pet back
It's Jason's bird
What he said I've not misheard
What is wrong with your parrot
What is wrong with your parrot Jason
So I stopped hanging out at Jason's place
Praying that bird would get over me
but it scared me

Tell me, You ever heard a parrot so whacked
You know, I'm really sick of Jason's bird
It really cannot be deterred
Oh Yes, Jason's Bird
I think I need some therapy fast
It's Jason's Bird
I wish it didn't say flirt words
Please leave, please leave Jason's Bird

This parody flies.
As they used to say in the 60s--"How's your bird?" :) (Reminds me of a David Foster Wallace novel where a parrot starts spewing religious mumbo jumbo). This bird rates 555.
This made me think of The Little Blue Man - a song from 1958 about paranoia.
I thought this was my first tribute! 555 anyway though!
This is definitely "Flirt wordy" , Sir Dave !
Thank you everyone. Yeah, it may not have been, BUT you were mentioned in the opening statement--I don't know, I like seeing "Dave" or "David" so in that aspect it's always cool to see your name in someone else's art in any regard:) I've only had one tribute to me (by Ann Hammond--very cute tribute may I add)--Thank you Ms Flirtress--hope you aren't the parrot in disguise ;) Thank you 2Eagle, I kinda want to look that song up now. Thank you Agrimorfee (LOL) and John Barry as well
Although i am not a bird lover, i really do adore this song. Our neighbour has a bird like that- except his one is more annoying and sounds awfully rude things and on some occassions swears.
I can't believe that I haven't commented on this one because I know that I've read it, this was back in the day when you used to live in Tampa and saw this bird at the pet store I'm pretty sure I was there at the time (Although my memory might not be correct)
(ABC) It's speakin' fives to me. Bird well done..

Reminds me of an old joke - A woman had a parrot that knew and used swear words. She tried everything to break him of that habit. He used SOB a lot - holy sh*t and rat b*stard but never the F-bomb. She warned her parrot that if he swore again she would cool him off in the freezer for a while. He went a while without swearing but then one day he just blurted out SOB SOB SOB. The woman put him into the freezer for 10 minutes. She brought him back out and he was quite cold. This time he went a lot longer before he swore again. One day he did it again "SOB - SOB - SOB". This time he spent 30 minutes in the freezer. Just when the woman thought he was broken of the habit he swore again - she put him back into the freezer. As he grew colder he tried to find a warm corner - in the corner was a frozen chicken - The parrot looked at the chicken and said "holy Sh*t, what did you say, "F***"?
Be glad that the parrot said nice things like "I love you" - He could have shot you the bird instead. Nice write.

(ABC) Parroting my previous commentary.
(ABC5) Aah! Creepy stalker bird! Sent by another stalker! Gah! Activate all 555 shields!
ABC5(J/K) Nice work here...excellent pacing and rhyming!!!...555!!!...However, I've never had any experience around talking birds, so I had a little trouble identifying with the concept.
Just one of the many animals I used in that tribute to you I posted the other day, "Dave's Petting Zoo". You sure have a lot of animals in your parodies, but the good thing is that each one of them takes on an entirely new persona.
Thanks Everyone!
Matty: I'm still watching my back on that one, the bird is CRAZY i tells ya. .
Leo Keough: Concepts that people have no personal experience with is my specialty. . as you'll learn if you continue to be in contests along my work ;)
