The Lyrics

Emperor Nero was honestly a really fascinating guy. He was evil but he liked to have a good time as well. He actually played in the Olympic games and made all the judges give him every award because he was the Emperor and if he didn't he would probably feed them to the lions. He killed his mother because she was attempting to kill him (that's how evil he was), for fun he liked covering Christians in oil and catching them on fire (which is honestly the worst thing that I ever heard before in my life!) and he also killed two of his ex-wives. He was also the cause of the Great Fire of Rome and has the story that he played music as he watched it burn.
Not Prince Charming, No, You'd see him pout
Don't you piss him off, "Kill them" he'll spout
Has such dominance, Sporting that crown
His mom got the axe, Her head rolls around

Watch out for Nero
Emperor of Rome
New lows from Nero
He'll make you pay!!!

Wore robes filled with gems, There's no doubt
Bit grapes off the stem, Hotties tout
Was so venomous, People freaked out
He burned the Christians, Heard them all shout

Can't slow that Nero
Emperor of Rome
Blood flows with Nero
Might be insane!!!

Whacko, That Nero!
Romans were so stressed
They all bowed to Nero
The heat is on...

We'll hose down Nero
As he's torching Rome
Hot coals from Nero
Lyre he plays!!!!

Opposed to Nero
Burns down tons of homes
Who chose that Nero?
Job's up in flames!!!!

He does reminds me of the character Sasha Baron Cohen played in "The Dictator".

(Artistry) What, a Roman emperor being kind of a complete dickbag? Truly a rare occurence! /sarcasm] Anyway, pretty good parody, though the limited nature of the OS kinda worked against you a tad. Hail Matthias, Emperor of Fives!

If you think Nero was a treat, look into the life of Caligula (you could parody "Dragula" by Rob Zombie with that, although it may be relegated to whatfreaks.com...) Nicley done parody.

(Artistry) you're setup was almost longer than the parody itself. The length of the OS really hurt you here because everything else was perfect. I loved the idea, the title switch was perfect, the content you had was good and funny, and it had a great dark edge. But the OS just didn't give you enough space to fully explore this wonderful idea. Just wish there could've been more!

Very nicely done. The pacing was spot on and the title sub was perfect. However, it seemed more like a book report than a parody...not a whole lot of yuks (granted, based on the source material, it might be hard to haha). Overall, a pretty solid spoof of what seems like a Roman pain in the neck.
