Original Performer:

Parody Song Title:

"Turn Off Your Outside Light"

Parody Written by:

Larry Hensley

Oh crap, can't fall asleep
No matter how hard I try
Because that light's in my eyes
And it's just shining on for my pain here tonight
And nothing seems to break it
The baseballs that I throw fail
Even cans of ginger ale
Not one will break the light, it seems invincible, I know

I'm bangin' loudly on your door
And I rang the doorbell a lot
But you never hear me or maybe you're on pot
I've called you a lot on the phone
You don't answer, though you're home
Hear my bullhorn now-
Turn off your outside
Turn off your outside
Turn off your outside light

Someone tried to tell me something
Oh, but I couldn't hear them
I was too busy faxing you to turn it off
And I'm emailing too, oh why don't you listen?

I'm bangin' loudly on your door
And I rang the doorbell a lot
But you never hear me or maybe you're on pot
I've called you a lot on the phone
You don't answer, though you're home
Hear my bullhorn now-
Turn off your outside
Turn off your outside
Turn off your outside light

Want to make it understood
Turn off the light like you should
Everyone is mad at you
Just listen, we must stop you
Waking up the neighborhood
Turn off your outside light

I don't know who that above idiot is, but I thought this was extremely funny. Good work, Larry.

Very good though you lost a 5 on pacing at the end there. 455.

Thanks Mike and Red.

This parody is truly a cry for help and a plea for endarkenment. 555 watts of invisible light.

If you were reading lyrics from a sheet I can understand the missing end ( Soundgarden lyrics are typically very poor ). There would be 3 " Turn off your outside " before that final line and 16 "Turn off your outside " afterwords. Also, this is very difficult to sing over TOS. That and missing 19 lines of text is why you got a 4 vs a 5 from me. You wouldn't have needed type all last 16 lines out, just " Turn off the outside" ( x16 ).

It is funny though I can relate, not on light but sounds. I have parodied TOS and found it VERY limited because it is sung so slow, so I give you props for doing it. So there is the full 455 in explanation.

(ABC) DKTOS...this was pretty far reaching just to get it done with the song topic.

(ABCT05) Oh, two DKTOS above me! Shame, shame. ;-). Very good OS, which I gave a listen to again. I stand by my above comments.

(T) I'm with you on the irritation of non-turned-off-outside-lights Larry - coming second only to non-turned-down-heavy-metal-music - and re that "ginger ale" line: I'm smelling RhymeZone there, or have I been around too long? - nice work! - 555

ABC: Again i dktos but it was a good read

Thanks Red Ant and Stu. I thought up the ginger ale line- I had a ginger ale right before writing this one.

(ABC) Although I too DKTOS, I'll trust your pacing and say...this is very well done. 555

ABC---I don't know the OS...=( Having been the victim of a neighbor's outside light, however, I can toss some sympathy your way...=)
