Song Parodies -> Too Much MTV
| Original Song Title: | "Refugee" |
| Original Performer: | Tom Petty |
| Parody Song Title: | "Too Much MTV" |
| Parody Written by: | Agrimorfee |
We got cable TV baby, but we don't get watch much of it
'Cause the kids can't keep their grubby little hands off it
Listen, you may think the service is free, baby
Could we watch something besides "Cribs" or "The Osbourne Family"?
Say you don't have to watch so much MTV
(don't have to watch so much MTV)
Somehow, someway, it's been around for 2 decades of television
I would say that the first few years were really damned good fun
But now, it's really so different to me, baby
Who else would give us that retard Carson Daly?
Say you don't have to watch so much MTV
(don't have to watch so much MTV)
Oh, baby, I don't like to see your feelings get hurt
I liked when they played music, and there's that news guy named Kurt
But in reality, so very few
Bands ever get the chance to breakthrough
Sometimes I wonder whatever happened to J.J. Jackson
I heard that Adam Curry's got him locked up and holding him for ransom
I don't remember which Julie Brown is which, baby
And the Real World is not really much reality
Say you don't have to watch so much MTV
(don't have to watch so much MTV)
Say you don't have to watch so much MTV
(don't have to watch so much MTV)
(repeat, fade...)

Pacing needs work, but it's a tough song to parody, so points for effort.
No one, can, write songs like Agrimorfee.
Agrimorfee, yeah, I'm definitely too wiped out tonight. I thought I could remember how "Refugee" went and thought I'd look at ONE more song tonight and I am clueless. So all bets and votes are off until I have some sleep. Adios & later.

Tough song to parody, but you didn't do too badly. I haven't decided what to vote yet.
