Song Parodies -> That Throne

Hey, man, thanks for your comments on Power of Smoke. If only that 1/10th of that 1% stopped. Now about this parody...FUNNY!! I enjoy AIC and I can relate about being sick! This parody is gross, twisted, but yet so funny...I like it!!

I too enjoy AIC, and when I did a search here I noticed almost no AIC parodies, probably because 1. People hate/never listen to AIC or 2. Most AIC songs are written so well that they can't be improved upon. Most of the parodies I've wriiten are mostly depressing, gross, politically incorrect, and occasionally funny as hell. But there's on thing in common with all my parodies--they speak the truth--and most people would rather be lied to than hear the truth.

Yeah, AIC parodies are difficult to produce. I've been pondering about a parody of the song "Rooster", but nothing is really coming together right for it to sound good. Hey, gross and politically incorrect (and even toilet humor) parodies I think are great. I know what you mean about people wanting to be lied to...just watch commercials. Does anybody EVER read the fine print? Of course not, because it's easier to believe what they're told rather than learning about the whole deal. Hey, keep up the good work! It's good to see some rock/metal parodies sometimes (like AIC)!

I have currently 4 or 5 AIC parodies, and tomorow or the next day I will have 2 Nirvana parodies, and already have a Queensryche parody out. Also just got done with a extremely disturbed parody of Eminems' My Name Is...I see the time of this post haha I couldn't sleep much today, making these parodies is more addictive than sex and drugs!! Sorry, don't know how to link them, but just search though the last two weeks submissions, I only started like 10 days ago and have about 12-15 parodies out there. Also if you want to know true depression see my parody on Nine Inch Nail "The One Thing I Can Never Have"

Hehe, just came up with a great paody of "Rooster"!! You got me thinking about it, so in 15 minutes it was finished. You will have to wait and see what it's about when it gets posted. I promise you it's good, the pacing isn't perfect, but judging from my other AIC parodies no one but you will notice anyway.

15 minutes was all it took to write a parody for "Rooster?" Man, that's quick! Usually my parodies take about almost a month. The quickest parody I ever wrote (which I will release soon) took only 5 days. Well, my idea for "Rooster" was going to be something about the restaurant Hooters and their Hot Wings. Like I said, it's not coming together right and I have better parodies that require my full attention.

Yeah, I can bang them out pretty quick sometimes, but I think I have met 2 REALLY difficult challenges. Anything by Soundgarden and the song "Locomotive" by GNR. I downloaded the lyrics and holy shit it's long!! But I'm going to work on it, will be another movie parody, but it will take atleast 2 days to write it, not including the 7 hours worth of movies I need to watch again to make it work. By the way I started writing my own music since I was 13, and most of what I wrote was in 99 when I was making a shitload of money ( for me anyway), but was the most miserable I have ever been

Hey, not to be way off subject, but have you noticed that for the past few days, we have been directing ourselves back to this parody? It's kind of funny! Someday, someone is going to look for a parody of "Them Bones" and find all these interesting conversations. Oh well, I've seen longer ones on other parodies. Anyways, I like GnR and I'm currently expanding my GnR collection. Sadly, I have never heard of Locomotive, but it won't be long until I do. Yeah, most of my parodies were written in 2003 (these parodies I call the "Swallow the Leader" album) and early to mid 2004 (which are being called "Master of Grilling" album). I'm strange like that, arranging groups of parodies into their own "album." So whenever I submit a parody, usually that parody is about 3 to 5 months old.

Yeah, I keep coming back here for 2 reasons, one to see if anyone rated/liked it and two, to talk to chat with you. Locomotive is a VERY long song with like 12 long stanzas and has a run time of almost 9 MINUTES! I like your comments alot, but man there is so much out there more than Metallica ( although I have 6 of their CD's, second only to 9 AIC CD's ( have a few bootlegs/special releases). Locomotive is like the 11th song or so on Use Your Illusion 1 ( I think ), and once you hear it you will know what I mean on how very difficult it will be to pace it, make it funny or witty, etc. But get them both, I listened to the tapes so much they eventually broke, and then got CD's scratched so bad I needed to replace them too! Yeah, GNR got a 6 for one deal on me and alot of the songs on those two CD's are very mediocre, but locomotive is probably the most difficult to parody. I wish there was a voting category for "difficulty", like in the Olympics, as some songs can be parodied very easy ( I made 2 versions of Hi, My Name is...Slim Shady by Eminem in like 3 days and about 2 hours time). Locomotive parody sadly will not be reviewed by more than 2 people because its almost 15 years old, it was too long a song to get regular airplay on the radio, and alot of people seem to dislike GNR. Oh well, their loss, BTW see my parody of Kashmir, a song that was very popular at the time and sttil is today, that pacing was very tough too.

Yeah, I know there's more than just Metallica. I'm very fond of Megadeth, AIC (of course), Nirvana, Pantera, GnR, Godsmack, Judas Priest, AC/DC, White/Rob Zombie, Van Halen, Rush, Ted Nugent, Motley Crue, Scorpions, Def Leppard, a little bit of KoRn, and the list goes on and on... like I said, I'm slowly but surely expanding my music collection. Which reminds me, we both like AIC, but have you heard of Mad Season??

I'm fond of Megadeth too, have 3 or 4 of their CD's, and have atleast one CD of most of the bands you listen to. Do I know Mad Season? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Off the top of my head( not looking at any lyrics right now a swear). River of Deceit: My pain is self chosen, atleast so the prophet says, I could either burn, or cut off my pride and buy some time...next. So much blood I'm starting to drown, runs from cold to colder, time and time the sky's coming down to help me lose my way. Fear and lies for answers, you and open veins. God knows I'm gone...See you all from time to time, isn't it so strange how far away we are all now? Am I the only one who remembers that summer? Yeah, you could say I have that CD. I do admit there are a few songs on their that are sub par, but I do not have a single CD where I like ALL of the songs, but Dirt is the closest at 12 of 13, only Irongland sucks, but I understand they were all just screwing around, so DIRT is probably the closest to perfect CD ever made % wise of songs I like. Which reminds me: Did you know that GodSmack is named after an AIC song? That is the absolute truth, even Sully Erna has admitted it.

Well, I was just wondering if you knew...a lot of people tend to forget that after AIC, Layne Staley started Mad Season. Hardly anyone remembers or even knows! And yes, I knew that Godsmack was named after the AIC song! Amazingly, I knew that even before I started listening to AIC or Godsmack, but I don't remember where I learned that from...anyways, River of Deceit is an awesome song. Y'know, you oughta write a parody of RIver of Deceit. Heck, if you can write one for "Rooster", River of Deceit shouldn't be too hard. I haven't checked, but I don't think there are many, if not any, Mad Season parodies. Which reminds me, no one has submitted a parody of a Bloodrock song, yet. I'm currently writing a parody of D.O.A., a morbid song very few remember.

I don't think I can parody River of Deceit well, as most if all of my parodies are partially based on myself, that particular song ( and so many of AIC's songs) describe my feelings at that time of my life accurately. I haven't heard of Bloodrock, but I assume D.O.A. stands for dead on arrival, so I will check it out anyway. By the way, lets see how long we can keep this thread going! Set a new and completely useless record( I can see it now: 2009 Guinness Book of World Records-Longest Chat Exchange between two parodist over one parody) hehe.

Very few people remember the once jazz/rock band called Bloodrock. D.O.A. was a very chilling song with no beat, only morbid vocals and a synthesizer that sounded like a ambulance. The story expressed in the song is from the view of a victim involved in a tragic plane crash who is now lying on the ground slowly and painfully dying away. So morbid you can't help but listen to it. Weirdly enough, D.O.A. was their ONLY hit (climbed into the Top 40 in 1971). When I release the parody I have of it, I hope many visitors will remember the song well enough to enjoy the parody. As far as that record, I'll keep responding as long as you keep listening and vice versa. It's refreshing to communicate with another parody artist who enjoys rock/metal as well as poking fun at it.

Wow, I thought Bloodrock was like an underground or much newer band. Kind of suprised you know this song since most of what you listed you have is atleast 15+ years newer. I'm going to download the lyrics and see the original and try to find a copy if possible ( which I don't think will happen ). I haven't searched for them yet, but I suspect few to no submissions on that song, so you can set a new record as being the first ever to parody not only a song, but a whole band! Anyway, keep 'em coming, I wrote 2 new ones yesterday, one is funny as hell and the other I'm sure will create a firestorm when they see the subtitle of the parody name. By the way, "Locomotive" is track 9 on Use Your Illusion 2, not 11 on one as I said before. I'm working on a parody of "Estranged", which is track 11 UYI 2 and runs nearly 9 1/2 minutes but I think will be a hell of alot easier than Locomotive.

Hey, wait, I made a parody! ( Little Nirvana joke there ) It's been done before, AIC's man in the box, except mines about annoying children in restaurants and how I feel about them. Probably see it monday.

Hey SJ, I just thought of a new parody almost exclusively with you in mind. It's a Metallica parody that has never been done before, and its an 8+ minute long song that makes a parody of Locomotive look pathetically easy in comparison. Sorry I can't go into it more, but I'm sure you have the CD, and when you see the title, it will blow you away. Another little hint: make sure you have Ride The Lightning and Master of Puppets handy. Wont be out for a while.

Sorry I haven't responded in a while...college projects beckoned. But now they are done and I am able to relax! About Bloodrock, they started in the late 60's and dissolved away by late 70's. D.O.A. is arguably their ONLY remembered song. EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to find (at least for me it was). Bloodrock albums are a rare gem to find, but fortunately, I was able to copy D.O.A. from a friend. Good luck finding it! This new Metallica parody...is it "Master Of Puppets?" If so, I already have a submitted parody of it. It's one my personal favs! Check out "Parody Authors" and look for my name around the "20-21 parodies submitted" area. My parody of "Master Of Puppets" is called "Master Of Grilling." The only other songs that are 8+ minutes from either RtL or MoP is "Orion" and "Call of Ktulu." So, it has to be Master, right? Anyways, sorry I haven't responded in a few days. I'm back on track now that Spring Break is underway.

No Johnny, its not "Master of puppets", guess that leaves only Orion and The Call of Ktulu huh ( which are both instrumentals). Hehe, like I said it would make Locomotive """PATHETICALLY""" easy to parody. And its going to take I would guess atleast 90 real life hours to work. Yes, I'm going to parody an instrumental, probably a first, and if you listen to the two you will probably guess wrong on which I'm going to do. Shhhh...don't let anyone know, like I said it will take a while, and I don't want some douche ripping off my idea.

Really? An instrumental? How exactly can you parody that? Though I am confused, I am curious of how it will turn out. Well, I'll just wait until its submitted to find out. I wish you the best of luck! I just read "Estranged"...very sad. I can relate since I have family members that have past on. I didn't lose them to Alzheimers (if that's how it's spelled), but instead to cancer. Not only that, but every Sunday, I visit my grandmother who is slowly dying, not from cancer, but from a variety of complications caused by 40 years of persistent smoking (remember my parody?). She finally quit a year ago, but it might be too late. Because of that, I am a strongly against smoking and try my best without being annoying by trying to get folks to stop (hence my parody again).

Well I'll give you one last clue: while guitar sounds are PRACTICALLY impossible to put into words, drum sounds ( with very very few exceptions) ARE IMPOSSIBLE to put into words. So that Kinda rules out "Orion" doesn't it? So yes, I'm going to make a parody of "The Call of Ktulu". I have never heard this live ( maybe you have), and has 2 if not 3 guitars oversampled/dubbed. Why am I doing this? Because 1) It will be the hardest parody ever written by a mile. 2) I dont think anyone has ever thought of parodieng an instrumental. 3) Lets say that all music and all way to produce and communicate it are lost and all you have is text?? Thats what I'm going to try to do. There are SEVERE problems with this, as I'm sure you know even sheet music/tablature wont help, the only way is to listen to the song in about 1-2 second intervals, revise to the power of infinity, then write it all down.. Like I said, will likely be the hardest parody ever written EVER, Im estimating now closer to 200+ real life hours to make this work. And even you will need to listen to the CD as you read the ""words""..........................it'll be a few weeks....but check back and I'll do the same, by the way ad this page to yor favorites list as it will soon go off out of the recent submissions...

Well, then, I wish you great luck! It will be very interesting to hear! Maybe you can win parody of the month for it, being that it will be the most challenging, most difficult, and definitely the most time-consuming parody ever!! I'll admit it, this is something I'm positive I would never do, and probably neither would anyone else. I have heard a live version of "Call of Ktulu," but they never played it in concert when I went. I'll keep checking to see when it is put up. Again, good luck...and good patience, cause you're gonna need that!

Patience is my biggest personal flaw by far, and trying to parody an 8:52 Instrumental ( which was my first choice BTW ) will make it all the harder. By the way, did they use 2 or 3 guitars? I swear its only 2, but my friend says 3 and he majored in music in college, but I think he's still wrong. Also I will set I'm sure I new amiright.com record for longest foreword into a parody as well as the hardest parody ever made EVER IN RECORDED HUMAN HISTORY. Not to be vain, but people with 200+ posts with few exceptions do mostly really easy stuff like the Beatles. Just in case you were wondering what my other picks were this was 1, orion was 2, woodpecker from mars was 3 4 was beat box ( the art of noise, 1984 too same as TCOK ), ( ruled out "eruption" from van halen as that is a solo, not an instrumental. Now I could have picked something """RELATIVELY""" easy that most know and like like Mason Williams " Classical Gas " or the them song from Midnight Cowboy ( 1969 movie, never seen it, but its the last track on Faith No More's Angel Dust CD ), or benn really lame and done like pink panther them song or william tell overture. But If Im going to parody an instrumental I'm going all out on difficulty, and I will be the first to rate in 555 for difficulty and effort. Now you just read about 1/3 ( yes theres so much more that needs to be said ) of my opening intro. Like I said, wont be out for a while, although I'm working on a version of War Pigs from Black Sabbath, but havent got it all together. Now remember shhhh... like I said before, I don't want some douche ripping off my idea.

I won't say anything.But I think you'll be safe...like I said, I don't think anybody else will or can do what you are trying to accomplish. As far as "Call of Ktulu" having 2 or 3 guitars, it would have to be 2 plus one bass. Think about it, Kirk Hammett plays the guitar, James Hetfield also plays guitar, and Cliff Burton plays the bass (and we all know what Lars specializes in doing). I do know that Dave Mustaine helped in writing...I repeat...WRITING some of the lyrics on many songs found on Ride the Lightning, but he never played. I could be wrong about the number guitars, but I just don't see who else who be playing guitar without it being accredited. I guess Cliff could play, but then who would be performing bass? To conclude, I believe it's fascinatingly done with only 2 guitars, unless your friend can provide proof that there are 3 guitars being used.

I am sadly probably never coming back here again so it is a moot point, The Call of Ktulu will never be seen here, and I suggest strongly you look over the next few days for a new submission from me regarding the South Park movie.......

Uh-oh..."moot point?" Did you lose in court, or is this "moot point" not about that topic? Well, if this is the court thing, and you lost, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope that everything goes well for you (as best as it possibly can). I enjoyed continuing this thread for as long as possible, but like all things, it must end. So, good friend, take care and if you ever can, feel free to stop by here and chat. I think I'm gonna be here for a long time. Anyways, take care, and I hope I didn't make a complete fool of myself If this has nothing to do with the court issue. I don't know, so I am assuming. On a final note, I'll go check out Faith No More since you mentioned it to me...

No SJ, I havent gone to court yet, but im not going to spend all of that time on that one since probably so few people will understand it anyway, and I have pissed off so many people here and so many people sanbag with 111 that I am sick of it all. Offender was right all along, the rating sytem here is worthless. BTW, that parody of Rape me I did , I KNEW that I wouldnt set the record, I was trying to legally cheat the rating system, as it should have been rated on its own merit, despite EVERTHING else, as all parodies should be. I knew that some ( like you would grant me my wish ), but IMO it should have been rated a 254 at best ( possibly a 255).

Oh...well, then I feel kind of like a fool. Here I thought it was end of the line, but...yeah, I understand the 111 thing. Voting can be a ridiculous privilege especially since it is abused by so many (as tactics for revenge, for favoritism, or whatever...). I personally enjoy comments over voting. But above all, I submit parodies because I like seeing my work published for free on a place where anybody can come and see them. It's unfortunate to hear that people give parodies 111 only because they carry on a grudge. Or to ruin a string of 555. Well, if you are not going to submit anymore, then at least come by and check out what's been written. Like I mentioned before...I think I'll be here for a long time...

BTW SJ, I have several new ideas I am working on, and that South Park thing got canned as I knew it would. By the way, In addition to the best "trap parody" as you mentioned, I may well have set an "anit-sandbagging" record too. Make sure you add this to your Favorites file folder before it gets pushed out of the top two weeks.

PS--I forgot that I had another instrumental in my collection that would make TCOK """"PATHETICALLY""""" easy in comparison. It's over 13 minutes long....so if I can do it ( asking permission before I do all that work as it is a "song" but doen't have any words, it may not qualify as a parody). I'm guessing THAT one would take probably 500+ hours to put together easily. Also would probably set a new record for parody masochism with that as well.

Man, sorry I haven't been around awhile...the middle of March, everyone is having birthdays. Last weekend alone was three birthdays alone and this upcoming weekend is three more...it's exhausting! I don't think I can eat any more cake...and I LOVE cake!! But it's refreshing to be here again. I can't think of what that instrumental would be, but whenever it's submitted, I'll take a look. Hey, any luck yet about finding that Bloodrock song? I have some coincidental news about them that completely took me by surprise Saturday...let's just say I got to experience an event that only comes around once in a lifetime (well, for someone like me...)

Good to hear from you, I have several ideas on the drawing board right now. That instrumental is more of a solo but does have some bass and drums, so it qualifies. I'm still waiting for a response from Chuck G if I can do it. Haven't searched for TOS ( DOA ) lyrics yet, and my music friend doesn't have a copy, once I see it submitted I will get the lyrics then. I listened to TCOK again and only heard 2 guitars and no bass, but I may be wrong ( doubt Cliff would have sat that out ). Will have ANOTHER AIC parody out tomorrow, one that is very difficult to pace because of it's intentional missryhming words, but its funny ( to me anyway ). Even I as a die hard AIC fan had to listen to that song atleast 5 times to get what I thought was good.

PS- Got permission to do that parody, but it may be a fairly long time before its out. PSS--You REALLY need to get EPIC and ANGEL DUST CD's from Faith No More, you can get them both for probably 20 bucks. LOL, just saw VH1's one hit wonders and FNM song "epic" from the EPIC CD was their only "hit". Of course Jimi Hendrix only had one hit as well " All Along the Watchtower", but we all know how good he was.

You were watching that same show? So was I! Yeah, I saw "Epic" by Faith No More, and you know what? I've heard that song before, and actually like it! So I will definitely check out some more of their stuff. I was also surprised that Hendrix's "Purple Haze" wasn't a hit (even though it seems everyone knows him by that only song...). "Tainted Love" and the "Macarena" rounded out the top two (I don't remember who was in third). When they talked about Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back" song, it inspired me to do a parody of it. Of course, it will be a long while before I even begin working on it since I still have about 10-11 parodies I still need to complete.

Yeah, after watching that show I had contemplated for about 3 femtoseconds ( 1 x 10-15 power ) about doing one hit wonder parodies, but scratched that idea. I'm working on several new ideas though, and will probably see a few more by Wednesday or so.

Yet again, sorry I'm late...things just keep occuring and it's taking a lot of time. The birthdays are over, spring break is over, and it's back to college again. I've noticed that within my abscence, you've amassed quite a number of parodies. I'm going to have to go check some of those out. As for my parodies, I'm probably going to release another one maybe this weekend, so be on the lookout. On another note, I was listening to Weird Al last night, and it helped me realize that I need to write better when I am creating my parodies. I've noticed that my more recent parodies (the ones I have not submitted yet, but will soon..) seem to be a little forced, and I would like to correct that so they will be more at a relaxed and comfortable style. As for the one hit wonder parodies, how about the Macarena? Or In-Da-Gadda-Da-Vida? Nah, just kidding, but that would be awesome if someone pulled that off successfully, especially the macarena. Just a random thought...am I the only one who dislikes the Macarena and Baha men's "Who Let The Dogs Out?" Everyone I know likes these two songs and it drives me insane.

Good to hear from you SJ--check out my on the author list, Im like 41 parodies now, including atleast 11 AIC parodies. I saw your parodies (most of them ) and they were very very good, reflected by the high marks you got. There is a parody of Macarena called Masturbata that is hilarious, will never be topped. The worst song for me is the song " It's a Small World", see my parody of it. Who let the dogs out I couldn't even listen to, because if I can't understand the lyrics ( or they make no sense ) then I change the station. IAGDV has been done in the last few days, while its an 18 minute song, it has like 3 minutes of vocals and I would never parody it. Anyway, check out those AIC parodies, get Facelift and Dirt handy. :)

Yeah, I've noticed how you are steadily climbing up the list...eventually, you'll crack into the the top-ten list, receiving massive amounts of votes like all the other parody-artists up there. Thanks for the compliments on my parodies...I'll admit that some of my parodies are not fantastic, but there are some in there I'm really proud of. I already have Facelift and Dirt handy...in fact, I have all AIC songs. Started collecting there music in May of last year. Currently, I am working on finishing my AC/DC collection. So far, I only Back In Black, but I am looking for The Razor's Edge. Contains my fav AC/DC song- "Thunderstruck." By the way, I checked out your parody of California Dreamin'. Excellent parody! But don't take offense to the word craptastic...it's just a pun (but I think you know that...)!

Scrawny Johnny, while you have about 21 parodies, I am at 43 or so ( now on the list near the top 100 submittors ), and you have some of the best overall scores of ANY parodist here. There are maybe out of the almost 400 listed maybe 20 that have better overalls than you ( without vote inflation ). Check me out, I now have like 14 AIC parodies, just made a parody of "What The Hell Have I?" off of the Last Action Hero Soundtrack ( may be in Music Bank as well ). PS- I knew that was a pun!. :)

Well thank you on the compliments about my parodies! I will release another tomorrow so be on the lookout...it's a parody that I'm sure it will be quite funny! I noticed your "What The Hell Have I" parody and your Megadeth one. Since Megadeth is rarely parodied, I salute you! However, since most of the people on this site hardly listen to Megadeth, I'm sure you understand most people aren't going to vote on that one. Well, actually, maybe they will since it deals with a current event. On another note, I'm content knowing that someone else agrees with me about how the toilet-humor parody complaints are normally nonsensical. I grew up with toilet-humor, so I'm not ashamed. Nature is funny, and natural acts can be funny to talk about (as long as they don't go overboard). But it never ceases to amaze me that a harmless parody that mentions the word fart, turd, or sometimes burp will offend somebody, but they choose to read anyway. But it's whatever...they have freedom of speech...

Yeah, toliet humor doesn't really bother me either ( used to work at a wasterwater plant ). Just wish people would not vote it 111 when 9 other people say its paced perfectly ( I'd setttle for a 511 ). I'll look for your parody tomorrow or the next day. PS- I made a parody of Sledgehammer ( Peter Gabriel ) called Jackhammer, and ANOTHER AIC parody of " I Stay Away " called " Please Stay Away ". Working on several more FNM parodies. Also, got a parody rejected on GNR You could be mind called You should be blind about the myth that j****** o** causes blindness. Might post it on whatfreaks. Hey, check me out on the list now, I've got a few AIC parodies that I havent seen you on yet, like Love, Hate, Love, Dam That River, Sunshine, Would? and a few more.PS- On that last one, read the comment I made before you vote ( if you havent already, no comments other that my own )

Yeah, I'll go check out your AIC stuff...as for my parody, look for it Monday. I just noticed that Friday's parodies are still up, and if I submit my parody now, it'll just get weighed down under TONS of parodies written Friday and today. Usually when that happens, some parodies will be ignored since there are too many to read. So even though I said I would submit last night, I'm glad I forgot since the New Entries has not updated yet. Wow, your GnR' parody is the first time I ever heard of a parody being rejected. Read your comments between you and MrMacphisto...it sounds like we might have a 3rd member joining this thread since he seems to share the same love for rock music as we do ( I learned some things about Jerry Cantrell that ya'll were talking about).

Yeah, that parody got rejected, even e-mailed Chuck BEFORE I wrote it, and it had no cursing, foul language etc, just slang terms for , you know. Curious that Spaffs "Pedophilia" was allowed since that is about child rape, and mine would have been about self-service. MrMacphisto seems to like Jerry more, which is understandable, but Layne was AIC in my opinion. PS- I NEED TO PRINT THIS IN CAPS!! GET FAITH NO MORE's THE REAL THING ( 1989 release ) AND ANGEL DUST ( 1992 release ). They are very bizarre, and Mike Patton ( lead singer on those two CD's ) has a better range than Layne does, and their topics go all over the place. I do have the first 3 tracks on ANGEL DUST parodied, and can see atleast 3 more coming. As for THE REAL THING, might do a few off of that as well. As for my parodies, I do have a few records here, notably the most AIC and FNM submissions, and have ouf my 53 or so parodies probably 20 that have NEVER been parodied here before. But sometimes I bang em out quick ( on one day I had 7 submissions alone ), and they are not of your quality ( for the most part ). Anyway, lets keep up this thread, we need a record!! PSS-I understand about your parody , as it would get lost in the mix probably.

PSSS--Tomorrow there will be a Mad Season Parody out from me, and it's not " River of Deceit ".

Finally submitted that parody I kept talking about. The next time I go to Wal-Mart, I'll check out to see if they have any Faith No More. Hey do you like Boston? Over the weekend, I bought their greatest hits CD and man it's awesome. I'm also still working on my AC/DC collection and then I'll move on to Bloodrock (if I'm lucky enough to find their stuff). I noticed you are climbing higher on the parody author's list. You're cranking 'em out faster than I can think of 'em. I'm almost finished with the parody I'm currently writing (expect it around Jun/July), then I'll be moving on to my next one which will be another Metallica one. But I won't reveal what song. That info I like to keep secret, so it won't ruin the element of surprise.

Good to hear from you. TOTALLY UNEXPECTED song pick, but was great. I'm slowing down a bit, only going to release maybe 2-3 parodies a week now. PS-I have a parody coming from Metallicas FIRST CD, something I made a LONG time ago, but will need serious reworking to fit TOS. I won't say more either. :)

I appreciate the feedback concerning my parody. Your right about it being unexpected... here I listen to rock, metal, grunge, whatever and then pop out with a Mannfred Mann parody. Just a quick anecdote: The concept of that parody is actually a little over 5 years old. I created the "...gonna fail you all" ditty for the amusement of my friends as a way to make fun of our old, somewhat gripy, science teacher, way back in 8th grade. Later, I developed a couple of the key lyrics (re-worded a little differently in the first stanza). But once we hit high-school, with no science to make fun of, the parody idea fell dormant within the back of my mind only to resurface December of last year. Glad to see it be a hit.

I'm not trying to guess, but my gut tells me that this Kill 'em All parody is either going to be Four Horsemen or Seek & Destroy (both of which I heard on Mandatory Metallica tonight). Don't tell me anything; I want to be surprised when you unveil it and see if my gut is right...or wrong.

CRAP!! Now my gut is telling me that it could be Whiplash!!....eh, I'll just stick to the two predictions my gut already made...

Keep guessing, your wrong, maybe. :) ( Although I would love to parody The Four Horsemen, I will tell you THAT one isn't it ).

PS- You can rule out Anesthesia ( Pulling Teeth ) as well, as bass sounds are nearly impossible to put into written words. So we are down to 6 choices. PSS- Already checked, this song has never been parodied here unless someone severely screwed up the decade. Won't be out till maybe next Monday or so ( don't think I can complete it before Thursday, and I don't want it getting lost in the mix ).

Hey lazy!! Get on the site today! j/k. I made a few new parodies, make SURE you look at the 2 submitted today and possible 2 tomorrow ( not sure if one will be accepted ). One is a Metallica parody off of Ride The Lightning, has only been parodied once ( it sucked ) and it's not TCOK. PS--That "song" I was talking about has approx. 4000-5500 "words" in it, lost count after 2600, and it took 13 pages of paper to print it out ( and some was omitted ).

AHH...no HINTS! I like a good surprise! Just got done looking at those two parodies...I think you will be pleased with my feedback. As far as being lazy, yes, that is true. I'm lazy and proud of it. However, I can still get the job done (whatever it may be). No prob, I'll go check out your parodies from yesterday...

Read the parodies from yesterday...about the tribute one, thanks for mentioning me. It's quite the honor knowing that I'm a helpful influence. About the NASCAR one...ready for Bristol? I have a NASCAR parody I wrote in December and I will release it...mm, possibly June? I don't know, but it's ready, I just got to get my other parodies out of the way ( Like the Linkin Park parody that will be featured sometime next month). Hopefully Junior will be able to stay consistent throughout Sunday's race.

You've squeezed out better butt I guess this was part of the March Madness "pooping" frenzy (last year it was "uranus" frenzy). 434. Just did this song myself though, look for it tomorrow.

Thanks SJ and K1chyd. PS-2nd time today you have left a written vote but not a recorded one? ( doesn't really matter, the comments are more important anyway ).

Yeah, I'm slowing down a bit. I got a AIC parody coming that is the WORST AIC "song" ever made, and it shouldn't take long to do ( it makes zero sense and you WILL need downloaded lyrics understand it ). As for NASCAR, I'm not sure about today's race, my sleep has been horrible, so don't know if I'll watch it.

Busy weekend...anyway, I'll be sure to look for that worst AIC song parody...I'm sure I know it (I have all their stuff, even some rare demos). Which reminds me, you wrote a parody over AIC's song "Loose Ground." I've never heard of that song. Which album is it from? Wait, excuse me, what BOOTLEG is it from (I know it's not from any of their store-bought albums). I noticed that and I was curious. Oh, about Bristol today, sorry about Ricky...he was involved in a 14-car crash (on the plus side Junior had a top-five for the first time since Daytona). Can't wait 'til they come to MY home track...TEXAS!!!

Sorry for the delay, Scrawny Johnny. That parody " Loose Ground " is actually titled " Brush Away" track 2 off of " Tripod " ( yeah, got the name wrong, but that was like the 3rd parody I submitted here ). That AIC track is so bad even I had to download the lyrics to understand it. Yeah, Ricky did manage a 25th finish. PS- Today is the 3/11 year anniversaries ( but not celebration ) of both Layne Staleys and Kurt Cobains death dates. I have a 4-part AIC tribute album(s) out in the next day or so.

Read your AIC tribute parodies...no need to repeat all that I said on them...well, one more time...excellent job, those were written exceptionally well! Y'know, I knew K. Cobain died in April, but I never what day, and I really didn't know that Layne died on the same day. Coincidence? I don't know, maybe, maybe not. OK, so Loose Ground is Brush Away...that's right, I remember the lyrics -" Brush away loose ground..." I love the intro to that song. I have another question to challenge your AIC knowledge- Have you heard of Class of '99?

Yeah, Class of 99 was a one time shot with Layne Staley, Tom Morello ( from RATM I think ) and a few others. The video sucked ass, and had like 4 2 second clips of Layne from other videos because he was in too bad a shape to be seen on a video. Did you know that ( AFAIK ) is the only time Pink Floyd had given another band permission to do one of their songs? PS- Tomorrow or the next day I will have a parody of Bohemian Rhapsody out called Powdered Water Rhapsody ( actually 2 versions ) about powdered water!!! Also ( if it gets through ) will have a tribute to the worst rated Amirighter here ( with more than 25 submissions ), set to an equally sucky song.

Well, I'm impressed. My aunt Leah (the one responsible for getting me into rock/metal back in '03), she claims to know all about AIC, but even she didn't know the Class of '99. That Pink Floyd cover song is on the Faculty soundtrack, and of course, after I had told her all this, she claims to have forgot. Whatever, she didn't know and I could tell. Ever since she got me into rock (believe or not, I used to hate rock music, thinking it was the dumbest form of music polluting the airwaves and CD shelves. whew, fortunately I had a change of heart...), anyways, since she got me into rock, like NASCAR, I've done a lot of researching and amassed quite a bit of rock/metal knowledge. Albeit, I'm still learning, but I like to surprise someone who has been listening to rock music for a much longer period than I have. I read your powered-water parody...see comments on there. I quoted what I thought was the best part of that parody! Oh, on a final note, I will be releasing my Linkin Park parody soon...

Cool deal on the Linkin Park parody. I have 2 coming out tomorrow ( hopefully, one is so drug referenced it may not fly, but has no sexual/curse words in it ) of the same song. The titles are " Arylcyclohexamines" and " Purely Psychological ". Can you guess TOS? PS- Did you also know that Layne drew the " sun " on the inside of the DIRT CD, as well as the pen-in-ink drawings on Mad Season's CD? I want a tattoo of that sun logo, probably cost $350 bucks ( which I can't afford right now ). Notes: Your aunt Leah is very cool. The first time I heard ( saw the video ) of Man In The Box, I hated it!! I didn't get into AIC until early '94, and was extremely disappointed when I went to the Metallica concert in Tampa that summer for my birthday present to find AIC pulled out ( and was ready to kill James Hetfield in front of 70,000+ people for mocking AIC ).

No, you must be corrected...my aunt Leah is 20 years old (I know, it's weird, one of those step-family things, I can't explain...) anyways, she is not cool. She has a lot of immaturity and will say demeaning comments about you when she is around your friends to make herself look good. I don't like that and I finally got in her face to tell her to stop or I will lay all her s--- bare. Yes, she got me into rock music, but she only likes anti-social nu-metal and just weird rock junk. Plus, she acts like she knows everything about rock (hence the Class of 99 story) and seriously, she takes every joke...EVERY joke literally. You have to tell her its a joke and even then, she tries to make look like she knew that and you're just stupid. And yet surprisingly, I can tolerate her. She has gotten better, but every now and then, she acts like a 13 year old. Well, now that I got all that pent-up frustration off my chest, I feel better. Sadly, I do not have an *official* Dirt CD, just a burned copy from my giant Music-Library friend. He has LOTS of CDs and we share music (mostly he's doing the sharing). Mr. Hetfield mocking AIC?? hmmm...that sounds just like how Green Day branded grunge bands (directed mostly to Nirvana and AIC) as "showoff, arena bands, who were not really there to make music." Of course, this was on TV so all I could say was "HOW DARE YOU!!!"

Okay, I rename her Aunt Leahole. :) Probably won't see that many submissions from me in the next few weeks or so, as I'm drawing blanks on ALOT of stuff right now ( everything from The Who to Drain STH and that Metallica parody will need more re-working than I thought , but you may see a Soundgarden or America parody soon ) as I'm working on my author bio and have more (de) pressing issues at hand at the moment. Anyway keep in touch, I'll check this thread and site atleast every other day. Later my in-college, NASCAR loving, Texan friend!

Ps- Bio is done, don't know how it will look as it may run together as a huge paragraph ( wasn't typed that way ). It's fairly long, but I'm a fairly complex person. Anyways, I'm still taking probably a week off as I'm trying to come up with some different material to work from ( would love to parody Tool's " Aenima ", but that will be difficult ) and for some strange reason my 100+ CD collection seems a bit exhausted at the moment. Chat with ya later.

Well, Leah's not that bad...she has toned down (some...). Anyways, my Linkin Park parody will be released probably Friday. That's when I'll be leaving for Austin. I am taking a much needed mini-vacation from all the college projects. Besides, there is a female-friend I'm trying to get to know better and she said she could show me around Austin since that is her home town (mine is Dallas). Speaking about Friday, I will be seeing Quiet Riot for FREE in Ft. Worth as part of a celebration of NASCAR's return to TEXAS (which will be twice this year...yay!). Every year, the city has a giant NASCAR interactive festival as a celebration, and best of all, it's free! So, I will submit the parody, go have fun, and then check on it Sunday night when I return from Austin. I can understand your parody-drainage...for me it's not thinking them up, it's trying to write humorous lines about the subject of the parody (I'll let you on a little secret...I'm writing a Sheryl Crow parody about SpongeBob and so far, it's half done, but for a week, I could not think of a suitable stanza that was witty or clever...when it's done, expect it around...mm, July maybe. I like to wait before releasing a parody). Oh, congrats on Ricky for a 7th place finish (poor Jr. mustered an acceptable 13th). Last night, I watched that Some Kind Of Monster, and I must say, that was a great movie! I used to not be that fond of St. Anger, but after watching that documentary, I listened to it with newfound respect and acceptance. In fact, it inspired a new parody. But it'll have to wait, as I still have 6 ideas waiting to BE written. Well, I could sit here all night typing everything that is flowing thru my tired brain right now, but I better head off to bed...got more projects to turn in. Anyways, thanks for your compliments on Joey's "Master of Muppets" parody (honestly that was the lowest score I've ever voted on a Metallica parody). I'll keep checkin' back here and responding whenever I can, b/c after all, we still have a useless record to maintain of the longest useless parody thread. Until next time crimson insect....

On a quick note...in some of your comments on parodies, you've mentioned Florida or Tampa. I guess it's safe to say you live in Florida, right? If that's affirmative, then have you ever been to Daytona? I was there for the 2004 Pepsi 400 (when it rained...and I got soaking wet but didn't care since I was at freaking Daytona Int'l Speedway....)

No, I live in Virginia. I missed the race today ( figures, Ricky always does good when I'm not watching ). I was in Florida for a year about 10 years ago. Anyway, I'll keep this short: Have fun on your vacation. Yeah, that Metallica parody was not great. Finally, I submitted a parody of " Rape Me " called " Date Rape " which may not get through because it is somewhat sexual. The foreword to the parody is over twice the length of the song. In case it doesn't get submitted, it's basically how I DESPISE rapists. Chat with you later. I would set up a PM on inthe00s.com or give my e-mail out, but someone would get ahold of it and spam me to death probably ( besides, I hate reading e-mails and we need to keep this record going ) !!

PS- That parody got submitted, but only ONE person has left a comment on it ( because I plugged in the html into one of his parodies ). Unbelieveable. I thought ( mistakingly ) that some people would be interested in it and atleast give it a look. Again, people would rather slam Bush and MJ than read a parody that is personal to me. Oh well, it's out there now, take a look at it if you can and leave a comment. People would rather read George Hamilinton IV's crap parodies than something serious. Bunch of damn hippocrits who can joke about politics but when it comes down to a serious issue just ignore it. Rant off/

Well, I feel a bit better now that 3 people have looked at it ( including you ). Still disappointing that so few people have looked at it ( and no women curiously enough ). I will not reveal my own " vote " on it for atleast a few days. Anyways, I'm drawing blanks on parody ideas at the moment so it may be a while before another gets posted. Later Scrawny Johnny.

Err, wait a minute. Is Agrimorfee a woman? ( I can't tell by the bio ).

Yeah, the date rape parody is one those that conveys a message (like my Livin' On Welfare and Power Of Smoke parodies). Which is good since parodies are an excellent way to get a point across. I will check Agrimorfee's bio to check for myself. What is an Agrimorfee anyway? I don't think I'm even pronouncing it right! Well, I'm not going to Austin until the weekend after this weekend...WAAAY too much goin' on...birthdays (again), TWO opportunities to go to the racetrack absolutely free, and much more...Look for my Linkin Park parody Friday, as I will submit it Thursday night. And the Sheryl Crow parody...about 91% complete so expect it sooner than July! It's turning out pretty good; I'm quite pleased! Well, I'm dead tired and I gotta go to college to turn in a paper. Take it easy or don't take it at all, whatever that means.

Well, sorry about your vacation on hold, but 2 races for free? Lucky bastard. :) As far as Agrimorfee, see his/her? bio for an explanation on the name. That Date Rape parody has picked up an anonymous 513 vote ( no comment ), I will leave my " vote " in a day or so, so go back to check it. Anyway, sure you'll see them before this, but I have 2 new parodies today. I've got court stuff coming up this week ( I think ) so I'm more pre-occupied with that at the moment. But I will continue to check here. Looking forward to that Linkin Park parody.

Sorry it took so long again...EXTREMELY, yet EXCITINGLY BUSY weekend. Before I tell everything, I would like to thank you for the extra attention you gave to some of my old parodies; they needed a new visitor! Ok, where to begin...ohright, Linkin Park parody. I know I said I'd release Friday, but as usual, I forgot. Now, I can't submit it until tomorrow night (since Friday's parodies are STILL UP and just think of all the parodies written Friday, Sat, today, all compiled into one big, tangled mess of satire tomorrow. un-uh. The last couple I submitted parodies that were trapped in a flood hardly received any attention (which is understandable due to the overwhelming amount a frequent visitor would have to read). So anyways, I'll have that out as soon as possible. The Sheryl Crow parody is two chorus' away from being finished, so expect that in May. Ok, now on to Friday...my city library was having a booksale and I decided to check out. Lo and behold, that were selling CD's and cassettes for only a buck. I happen to come across a cassette bearing the title "FAITH NO MORE: THE REAL THING." Remembering about your suggestion to check them out, I bought the $1 tape to see if I'd like it and if I do, I go after the CD. Well, it looks like I'll be adding a new band to my always-growing CD Library called Faith No More. Y'know, they sound kind of like Smashing Pumpkins mixed with Nirvana. I like their stuff, it's really good! Speaking of growing music collection, it expanded this weekend with the purchase of Megadeth's Rust In Peace and the 2-disc live set Rude Awakening. Did the NASCAR Friday night, and got to meet Jason Leffler, Kevin Harvick, Richard Childress, Jeff Burton, and the Labonte Bros. (Terry is a real nice guy; so is Bobby). As an added feature, Quiet Riot performed, which was really awesome. Today, well, I was at TEXAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY from 5:30 am to 5 pm. Awesome, awesome race...poor Tony, yay for Junior, hard luck for Bobby, too bad for Kasey K, and can't wait to go to TMS again in November!!! Anyways, I've talked too much and it may be of little interest, but that's my alibi for this weekend's negligence. Again, thanks for the extra votes on my old parodies!!!

Stupid, clever twit control....I always forget about that. It made me forget what I needed to say....crap, well, I'll re-respond later when I remember...

Glad to hear from you. I will forgive you for even mentioning that Mike Patton ( singer of FNM ) sounds ANYTHING like Smashing Pumpkins and Nirvana ( I have also heard them being compared to the Red Hot Chili Peppers which makes me want to vomit as well ). I think that the best tracks off there are the songs " The Real Thing " ( which is difficult to parody, but I have a working title for it called " It's Stealing " ) and their cover or " War Pigs ". " Falling to Pieces " I have parodied before but did a pretty bad job on it ( was reading the lyrics from a sheet ). Anyway, glad you enjoyed the race. I can understand about the Linkin Park parody. I just made a new one a few hours ago on Soundgarden's " Blow Up The Outside World " as sung by George Bush. It mentions the 9/11 incidents so I'm sure I'll see piles of 111's on it ( and lots of nasty comments too ). I'm may have " Burden in my hand " by them out this week as well. I'm working on my second " Holy Grail " parody, one that is over 30 years old and has NEVER been parodied here before. I've got like 4 of the 20-40 stanzas done but don't expect it out for a while. Been on inthe00s.com for a while doing useless stuff as I'm a bit worried now as court is 2 days away. Anyway,, chat with you later. PS- I checked out ALL of your parodies, but only left comments on the songs I know.

SJ, I'm beginning to worry about you now. You never heard " Blow Up The Outside World "? ( I also made " Fell On Black Days" into " Burn From Sun Rays " ). How about " Outshined " or " Black Hole Sun" ? ( all of which I hav parodied ). Better pick up some Soundgarden CD's soon. :) PS- Check up a few comments.

Dangit, the new-entry parodies are still up from two days ago! I can't release my parody! AARGH, it'll have to wait until the weekend since, yet again, I have to postpone my Austin trip (I was involved in my first auto accident Tuesday - some guy in a truck rear-ended me b/c he failed to yield at a YIELD sign - looks like he totaled the car since my Honda is worth maybe only $3200 and damages have exceeded that amount already from what can be seen). Yeah, I've heard of Soundgarden and I really like their stuff! It's just most of their stuff I haven't heard YET...emphasis on word YET. "Outshined" and "Black Hole Sun" I have heard, and will visit your parodies since you mention it. Don't worry about me, I'm slowly but surely expanding my music collection. I'm still working on AC/DC, but I'm also looking for this AWESOME, AWESOME death metal band called SONATA ARCTICA! They're not from USA so their stuff is not heard on the radio, but I've heard some of their cover songs on my tribute albums I have, and I want to get there CD's as quick as possible, b/c they are THAT GOOD! Perhaps death metal at its classiest, and yes, that's how they play their death metal....classy style. Don't frown or grimace until you've heard them!!! Which reminds me, I found this cool record store near my house and they had a ULTRA RARE Pantera album from 1983!!! This is before the Phil Ansemo days, back when Dimebag and VInnie were Glam Rockers!! I bought it for $50, but that's a low price for such a rare album!! Well, that's the recent news going on in my part of the world...until later...

Sorry about that accident. I'll keep this short. I had court yesterday and 2 or the 3 charges were dismissed but it may be up to a year before I get a date on the other charge. I remember getting a bootleg AIC album before ( Heroin ) and the last 5 tracks are AFU ( I paid like 27$ for it ).I like Pantera too, but haven't heard them without Phil Anselmo. You know that Dimebag Darrell was killed on stage right? Happened a few months ago. Gunned down. Anyways I'll look for that parody you are going to submit soon. I'm looking for a few job ATM so there will be few parodies from me for a while ( maybe 1-2 a week ). Later.

I submitted the parody. If it drowns in a flood of parodies, so be it; I honestly don't think it's THAT great to keep holding out waiting for a clear moment. Yeah, that Pantera album is really cool. I wish I could post a photo of it on here. You wouldn't believe your eyes! As far as the accident is concern, insurance called this afternoon and the fate of my car is leaning heavily on being totaled. man. First my Isuzu, now my Honda...anyways, I heard the new Audioslave single on the radio tonight. Y'know, I think Audioslave is going to be pretty successful in the long run, if they are not already. The new song was cool! Well, good luck on your court dates and job. On a final note, I know about the tragedy of Dimebag Darrell. I remember the day after it happened, the radio station I listen to played a Pantera/ Damage Plan song every hour as a fitting tribute. On another note, the singer on the 1983 record is a guy named Terry Glaze...

Hey! I found a picture for you! Go to this website... members.tripod.com/theoddone/pantera/metalmagic.html There you will see the album I bought and the songs that are on there. It's the same Pantera lineup except for the singer. And if you're interested in Sonata Arctica, check out their website... www.sonataarctica.info Like I said, SA has got to be one of the most melodic death metal band ever. They did covers of Metallica's "Fade To Black" and Scorpion's "Still Loving You" both of them *astoundingly* beautiful and hardcore. I definitely want to add them to my Music Library. Anyways, thought you might want to see these two sites! Until next time...later!

Ahh, just got off of work ( new jobs suck ). I'll check out those websites soon. I finished a parody of " American Pie " called " 2005 ( the year the music died ) ( not the " Holy Grail " parody I mentioned before, American Pie has been done atleast 15 times ) that basically slams every bad artist/event I could fit from 2000-2005. Of course it didn't get submitted today and since parodies go in reverse alphabetical order by TOS name it will be at the bottom of all the parodies submitted from Saturday afternoon to Monday morning. It may be ignored Monday but I think by Tuesday that song since it starts with a number may be on the top of the list. I HOPE it gets submitted ( may not for a few cuss words which were asterisked ) because my computer locked up after I typed and submitted it and I didn't get a chance to print it. Well, I need to get some sleep now my legs are killing me. PS- That Metallica parody is VERY similar to your Linkin Park parody. :)

I'm really quite surprised on how well the Linkin Park parody is being received. Truthfully, I was only expecting 2-3 votes. The parody on paper actually looks and sounds much more awful than it does posted on here. Strange...for the first time, a semi-crap parody fares well and survives (for me anyway). Then that must mean whenever my Sheryl Crow parody is submitted (which I'm actually proud of), it will be widely ignored (except from a few). Well, I'll be looking forward to that Metallica parody as I have one in the works right now (and its of an old one - no more hints!). On a final note, congrats on your American Pie parody, for that must be one of the most challenging songs to successfully parody. I'll be looking forward to that also.

Yeah, you did great on the LP parody ( I'm glad you picked a song of theirs I knew ). I noticed the comment on " The Color of Mauve " parody. Yeah, looking back it was incomplete and I should not have given a 555 but also he may have been working with downloaded lyrics which are sometimes horrible. That Sheryl Crow parody may do well if people KTOS. It's kinda funny: That American Pie parody took several days on and off to make and got 8 votes ( they were great ) but SEVERAL anonymous 555's ( odd ). The parody of " Simply Irresistible " I submitted took nowhere near as long and got 12 votes ( my best showing by far ). You REALLY need to hear that song-I think you would like it. Anyway, I have about 7 parodies in the works ATM and I suspect that 4 of them are first submissions and 1 or 2 is a first submission from a entire band. PS- That Metallica parody is still in the works but I'm having a lot of trouble condensing my original lyrics into the song and into a proper order. If I can't I may just make an extended version of the song to get them all in. Later for now.

I will be submitting a parody again tonight. Haven't decided which one yet, so it'll be a surprise. My Metallica parody is coming along quickly and so far so good. Two days ago, I thought of another catchy parody that will have to wait 'til I get around to it (you ever heard of Krokus' "Ballroom Blitz?" Yeah, I have a cool idea for that song). Today, I'm getting my wrecked Honda towed away, and a nice, hefty check in return ($3900 for a $3200-valued car -- can't go wrong with that).Now the real problem is finding another car. So far, the search has been a failure. Quick question before I head off -- how's the progress on the "Call of Ktulu" parody, or did you call that off? I ask cause I don't remember...

I think TCOK will most likely be put on hold for a while because it uses 2 guitars ( and therefore I'd have to make a seperate line for all the " wails " ). The into would look like this ( VERY ROUGHLY-first 8 notes ): do de du dun do doon de doon. Now, considering that song has well over 2000 notes and what I just wrote was the " slow " part I think even YOU would get lost at some point ( and would probably disagree as to what " words " to use should be ). See about how impossible this is? Good deal on your car ( the bonus 700 bucks ) and no I haven't heard that Krokus song. PS- Agrimorfee is a woman according to her gender on inthe00s . Later.

I'm just *one* parody away from being in the Top Submittors! Hopefully, the next parody I submit will be accepted a little better than the Sheryl Crow one. Surprisingly to me, it has been branded to having pacing problems, but the Linkin Park one was much worse, but it went thru unscathed. Oh well. Oops, didn't see the time, I gotta go. On a final note, if you want, feel free to sing any of my songs, just give credit where credit is due. I'd record them myself, but my singing is sub-par. So if you want, go ahead! I'd love to hear Master of Grilling or Cake On A Leash recorded (my two favorite parodies)! Take easy, man, and keep the parodies coming...

Yeah, with a vocal modification I could get as low as Hetfield for Master of Grilling and can do Cake on a Leash with almost no mods, just need a room with good accoustics. I never realized that I sang well untill I was at the plant one day by myself in an empty 20'x30'x10' high concrete room. The reverb and echo were perfect. I sound like crap on tape for some reason though ( like answering machines- guess it's the mic in them ). Just need a Karaoke CD to make them. About the only people I can't hit well are Steven Tyler, Axl Rose, Geddy Lee, and a few AIC songs like a few parts of "Man In The Box". Would need some help with Chris Cornell ( can't hit the low or high notes ) and Mike Patton ( I don't think anyone can sing like him ). I have close to a 3 octave range ( most of the ones I listed are 4+ ). I will have 2 new parodies Wednesday and maybe one more on Thursday. Later.

Man, what a busy week! With my towed car in a mysterious place, finding a suitable replacement is difficult. Do you know anyone selling a Honda that's under 170K miles, is a 5 spd, has a sunroof (optional), and priced at or under $7,000?? If so, tell 'em I'll meet half way from Texas. Nah, kidding. Honda's are EVERYWHERE, but finding one to buy is like trying to get a diamond before someone else does. Hey, I heard an AIC song I've never heard before off Music Bank - the 1991 demo of Rooster! That's an awesome cut! I have it copied to my computer. And on the subject of voices sounding like crap on answering machines, just to let you know, everyone sounds like crap to themselves when heard. I know I sound funny, but everyone says that's how I sound. Well, I'm off to look for more cars -- wish me luck cause I'm gonna need it.

Yeah, Hondas around here are like that too. I have several live recordings of rare unreleased AIC music, but not Music Bank. PS- You missed my Metallica parody of " Trapped Under Ice " ( I'm still working on the one from Kill 'Em All ).

Can you list those unreleased AIC songs for me? I have some of their unreleased demos that never made it to CD and I'm wondering if you have the same ones I do. Plus, if you have something that I don't, I'm sure some of my friends with vast music collections have them and I'll steal 'em. But the "Rooster" demo was awesome -- I will even dare to say that it is *almost* better than the original.

I would suggest downloading them from a file sharing site or getting the bootlegs. MANY of them were not released on ANYTHING at all. I Can't Remember ( hehe ) them all. The two bootlegs I have are " Heroin " ( it was not recorded at the correct speed ( about 10% faster and the last 5 tracks are scrambled so it sucks ) ) and " Working Class Heros " ( which is perfect as far as recording speed and what not ). Most of them are demos but the few live recordings I have are awesome.

The 2 songs I like the best over the original versions are " Sludge Factory " ( Unplugged ) and " Love, Hate, Love " ( Live bootleg ). Also " It Ain't Like That " live is great as well. The " Sunshine " demo was good even though it was not recorded at the correct speed. Also on WCH there is " Ring Them Bells " with Layne and Nancy and Ann Wilson from Heart. Laynes part is only one chorus but I like Heart very much and that song is practically impossible to parody at all ( even if I could I wouldn't touch it as it is too good to make a parody of ).

Hmm, Agrimorfee is now a man according to his gender on inthe00s.com. Perhaps he was just screwing around before. By the way I have now been selected as an Amiright Idle judge for misc parodies submitted to the thread on inthe00s.com. You ought to check it out sometimes. Lots of fun things to do there when you are bored. The account doesn't take but 15 minutes max to set up and you can hide your e-mail if you wish and what not.

Yeah, it sounds like a good idea, but I've got too much going on that occupies my time. It's hard enough just trying to write my new parodies. In the past two weeks, I've added maybe three lines to my upcoming Metallica parody...woo hoo. The whole car-searching ordeal is still producing failures. On a lighter note though, I congratulate you on your selection of being a judge. You've really made a name for yourself here at amiright, and it won't be long before you'll be one of the amiright legends like Guy, or R. Duncan, Phil Alex, Spaff.com, and so many others (mostly top 15). Perhaps (in 10 years) I'll be up there among the parody legends someday! Not that's my dream or anything, but...

Thanks for saying that I have made a name for myself here. I too am suffering from some writer's block at the moment. So what does a parodist do about that? You parody it of course!! ( "Writer's Block" set to The Beatles "Yesterday" ). Hehe. I've probably 15 parodies on the board right now between 10-60% complete. The next one is similar to your "Power of Smoke" but more depressing. That'll be the next one I suspect I submit.

On an aside, that Amiright Idle tryout may not have been the best idea as I really don't want to pick apart someone's parody and only 2 have been submitted so far.

As for being one of the legends that will be a while for sheer numbers but I am happy with what I have been putting out recently for the most part. I will never be the best though and can accept that. My bio is done and now that it is up I kinda don't like it. I left out a few things and what not but oh well. I have changed so much since I wrote it that some of it kinda irritates me now. Anyway, keep looking for a car and keep in touch.

I've already decided that I won't add a bio until I get to parody 100 (which will be a loooong time, but that's fine, I'll experience a lot of life before number 100, and will have more about me to say). NIce bio by the way. I don't remember what parody it was but I know how you earned the name Red Ant. Mine is simple: my real name is Jonathan and, well, I'm skinny. Back in Nov. 2003, I wanted to create a cool-sounding parody name for myself like what "Weird" Al did for his name. Thus was born the anorexic moniker (even though I eat like a pig -- super high metabolism, I enjoy it while it lasts). The car search will continue. I feel like I'm getting closer, but at the same time it's so discouraging. With the rise in gas prices, most everyone is trading in their vehicles for economy-loving Hondas and Toyotas. Well, I won't get into that, but I'm looking forward to this weekend. NASCAR will be at Richmond and college is done for the summer (finally). Happy pre-Friday the 13th! Hope nothing weird happens!

Yeah, I added my bio sometime I think at 43 submissions, and when it got posted I had 90 ( 47 new parodies in a month ). I've been wondering where most of the regulars are as I have seen few parodies from them in the last 2 weeks ( especially Johnny D, was worried that tick bite may have been serious, but he posted on inthe00s.com today or yesterday so I'm reassured now ). My metabolism used to be like that, could eat over 4000 calories a day and not gain a pound.

As for that car search, unless you do alot of long distance driving fuel economy is not that important ( and whatever you do DO NOT GET A HYBRID-if it breaks on you and is out of warranty you are up the creek ).

This Friday the 13th has already been odd today 3 ways- 2 at work and one is a family members birthday.

Nice nickname if you ever wanted to make it as a " Weird Al 2 " or whatever.

Yes, I'm looking foward to the race as well as Ricky does well there at Richmond ( I predict he'll qualify top 10 ). You said you FINISHED COLLEGE, but how well did you do? Oh, you said for the summer, meaning you have more to do.

Hey, I thought of a " Rooster " parody called " Hooters " but it's NOT about their chicken wings. ;-) Mind if I make it?

Hey, man, the hot wings at Hooters parody idea I once had for AIC's "Rooster" has long been abandoned, so go for it. Y'know, I was thinking of releasing a list of all the parody ideas I had but never followed up on them. I think I will...first up "Am I Elvis?" (parody of Metallica's/Diamond Head's "Am I Evil?"). Very old parody idea from around 2003...never fell through though. Plus, I don't know enough about Elvis to make a witty parody. I'll list more when I can remember. I won't get a hybrid (too $$$), and I didn't check on Ricky's qualifying, but Jr. qualified top 27 (he qualified 27)!!! Yeah, I still have a lot of college to do, it's only summer vacation. I just remembered about the conversation we had about AIC's demos...here are the demos I have that I believe may have come from some bootlegs or are completely unreleased; others are from Music Bank... Fairy Tale Love Story Hush, hush Sealed With a Kiss Chemical Addiction Blue (very low quality) I Can't Have You Blues (MB) Whatcha Gonna Do? (MB) Football (very funny unreleased demo) We Die Young Demo (Music Bank) Heroin (Real Thing demo) Rooster Demo (MB) Junkhead Demo (MB again) Over The Edge (MB??) Killing Yourself (MB??) King Of The Kats Lying Season (MB) Suffragette City (David Bowie cover) Look (MB??) Foolish (MB??) Social Parasite (MB??) Died (MB) Fear The Voices

Hmm, may have to cough up the money for MB as I do not have much of what you listed. You can Google search for something along the lines of " Alice in Chains demos/bootlegs " and find some of the ones I listed. Working Class Heros has the following on it: The 2 tracks from Last Action Hero ( What The Hell Have I and A Little Bitter ), B side of " We Die Young " ( Killing Yourself ), Ring Them Bells with Heart ( EXCELLENT SONG ), Heaven 'N Hell, Queen of the Rodeo, Suffragette City, Fairy Tale Love Story, I Can't Have You Blues, I've Seen All Of This World I Care To See ( sung by Jerry ), I Don't Want To Be A Soldier, Time Of The Preacher ( sounds very Johnny Cash, maybe a cover of his ), Short Outro ( not a song ), It Ain't Like That ( Live -Excellent ), Hate To Feel ( Live- pretty good ), and Lip Lock Rock. " Heroin " has all that you listed, but isn't recorded at the right speed and the last 5 tracks are scrambled ( Would?, Angry Chair, Dam The River, Them Bones, Junkhead, and Rooster ), which sucks as Junkhead and Them Bones worked at one time and were great but are now corrupted somehow.

I am working on Rooster now, and will probably have it out by Tuesday. I have on order " Degradation Trip " so I can do some Jerry Cantrell parodies ( Boggy Depot is really bad and the one "hit" Cut You In ( and I guess " Dickeye " ) are just not worth parodying ).

It's been almost a week, but I'm back. Finally got a car! A '98 *emerald green (my fav color)* Honda Civic with less than 100K miles. Oh yeah! Standard shift, which to me that's a must! Anyways, I'll try to get my hands on some of those demos you mentioned. Sometime this weekend, I'll submit my Nirvana parody (can you guess what song?....that shouldn't be hard to figure out!). It'll be my 25th parody and I have two more that are about 65% complete. This week, I've been pounded with parody ideas. Some were so good that I abandon a few of my recent ideas to work on the new ones. Well, gotta go to work even though I'm tired...didn't get home last night until 3:45am. Me and some friends went to go see the Stars Wars flick and projector problems delayed the movie for about an hour and a half. It was pretty good, but I still prefer Sin City.

Gratz on the car ( I hate automatics ). I didn't see Star Wars. As for your parody, I KTOS. :) I have had to scrap close to 5 COMPLETE parodies because they just are not funny at all even to me, which is one of the reasons I haven't been putting out much. Gratz on the 25. Tomorrow will be my second Aerosmith parody ( it's ALOT better than my first ), it's already submitted. I'm working on a STP parody because Step-Chan and I are having a second contest ( we concluded that the first one was a draw ). This time we are parodying an identical alt. era song that neither of us has done before.

PS- " Degradation Trip " and another CD came today so since I get paid tomorrow hopefully you will see some new bands parodied. Also, I have abandoned the TCOK/316 parodies completely.

It's probably best that you do give up the TCOK idea...that would be just an ungodly amount of effort and it's likely very few here will comment or vote. So it's not really worth it unless it was just for a
