The Lyrics

You'd think with all that dancin', gyratin', and drinkin', the whole Zoot Suit Riot squad would feel a little sick to the stomach every now and again...
What's that whimperin'? Not at ease?
Ate big helpings with ‘seconds, please’?
Guts in pain and hurting bad?
Over-did it? Yes you have

Big guy came to eat, now he can't move fast enough
You had best stay away when those people get the runs

Pepto. Try it (Try it!)
Throw back a bottle of Pink
Pepto. Try it (Try it!)
Really does more than you think.
Pepto. Try it (Try it!)
Throw back a bottle of Pink
Pepto. Try it (Try it!)
Really does more than you think.
Pepto Bismol!

The cramped up indigestion’s got you sad?
The heartburn’s burnin’ and the nausea’s bad
Upset stomach has you cryin’, man?
Diarrhea puts you on the ‘can’…

You had a real bad day, and you wish this thing was done
Now you people know that you oughta reach for some…

Pepto. Try it (Try it!)
Throw back a bottle of Pink
Pepto. Try it (Try it!)
Really does more than you think.
Pepto. Try it (Try it!)
Throw back a bottle of Pink
Pepto. Try it (Try it!)
Really does more than you think.

You need some Pepto! Try it!
You need some Pepto! Try it!

You ate fries, man – Put two steaks away
Eight Caesar salads – Four milk shakes
Key lime pie-ie-ies, wow – but not full, you say
‘Bring me some tacos!’ – What a day!

You had a real bad day, and you wish this thing was done
Now you people know that you oughta reach for some…

Pepto. Try it (Try it!)
Throw back a bottle of Pink
Pepto. Try it (Try it!)
Really does more than you think.
Pepto. Try it (Try it!)
Throw back a bottle of Pink
Pepto. Try it (Try it!)
Really does more than you think.

You need some Pepto! Try it!
You need some Pepto! Try it!

Nausea, Heartburn, Indigestion, Upset Stomach, Diarrhea. Yay! Pepto Bismol!

and I can't even pick a song for the Blues/Swing round . . .beginning to think maybe I should leave Deacthlon to the pros, like you.
Jonathan S. - September 21, 2007 - Report this comment
Very nicely done with one gripe; being the critic that I am, I took off a point [in the "How Funny" category] because the repitition was a bit more than I could handle. Don't be overly offended, though---I loved your parody. 545
Red Ant - September 21, 2007 - Report this comment
Could have used some more subs in the choruses ("poop chute riot" was one I was hoping for here), but this is solid work from a regular contributor.
Matthias - October 08, 2007 - Report this comment
I agree with Red Ant and that it should have more subs, but "Zoot Suit Riot" is a tough song choice and you handled it quite well.
Phil Alexander - October 14, 2007 - Report this comment
I enjoyed it with the one exception of the "Really does more than you think" line, which started to annoy after n repetitions. Other than that, excellent, to a great fun OS

(Decathlon 2.0) A bit repetive, out otherwise genius! A parody about a laxative? Wasn't expecting that one!

(dec2) mind-shatteringly...er, I mean "hind-splatteringly" good Syncronos - 555
Agrimorfee - October 16, 2007 - Report this comment
(Decathlon) Same thing as everybody else said.
Arwen - October 16, 2007 - Report this comment
Decathlon...I've always love the OS, and this was a fun little commercial! Excellent work!
Kristof Robertson - October 16, 2007 - Report this comment
(DEC 2.1) Pretty much whatever everyone else has said, Sync: more variation would've really lifted this, but overall a strong delivery. 555

(DECATH2) Well. . .I thought the verses were actually quite hilarious, and the rhyme scheme was amazingly followed. The only thing I have to say in a negative light is that it lost my interest in the choruses. . .but a great parody, deserving of triple 5's no doubt, and a great way to start Decathlon 2, well unless that is a personal story, I would hate to start a contest in that kind of pain.
