Song Parodies -> Turning to a Mouse
| Original Song Title: | "Burning Down the House" |
| Original Performer: | Talking Heads |
| Parody Song Title: | "Turning to a Mouse" |
| Parody Written by: | Christie Marie M |
Another song parody inspired by The Witches. Another hit performed by Luke Eveshim and Bruno Jenkins. It's based upon witches who plan to eliminate children, while those boys, who were turned to mice by their Formula 86, warn future children not to be lured into the witches traps as they posed as normal, respectable ladies.
(Luke Eveshim):
Watch out! Those witches just might trick you!
Ooh, baby! They make perfect strangers.
I'm a normal little boy!
Turning to a Mouse.
Good Lord! Bruno is their first victim.
Good Lord! He's in for big disaster.
They have found another way.
(To) turn him to a mouse.
They had found me what a drag,
time for running far ahead.
It is dangerous here.
Go somewhere you'll be so far,
so they don't know where you are.
Fighting magic with magic.
(Bruno Jenkins):All Set!
(Luke): I got to get the formula!
(Bruno):Takedown!
(Luke):Those witches who harm children.
Their formula's one good recipe!
(Both): Turning to a mouse!
(Luke): It was once upon a time those witches
trapped a child alive.
They are such a disgrace!
People wonder why their kids just vanished
out of thin air.
Witches just have no shame!
(Bruno): This mouse!
(Luke): Is just not ordinary!
(Bruno): We might!
(Luke): Not want to scare nobody!
Just beware of humans' walking feet!
(Both): Turning to a mouse!
(Luke): In a large world we're so small,
and you have not seen nothin' yet!
We're all in this together!
I don't know what you expect,
those witches just have no regrets.
Fighting magic with magic!
Watch out! Those witches just might trick you!
Ooh, baby! They make perfect strangers.
I'm a normal little boy!

I thought this was going to be about an actor signing to do a film with Disney.
Cute idea, Christie, if not quite fully realised. 444
Very funny, Christie, and I remember seeing the movie at the theaters when I was seven. :) 555
Thanx for your kind words and vote, raddog!! I also enjoyed the movie as a child. I had no idea anybody else remembered that movie! That is so cool!! If you loved that parody, you should see "Life as a Mouseboy"! (That is also under Talking Heads: Life During Wartime)! I thought that it would be cute for young boys performing rock music or new wave!
