Song Parodies -> Eating Grapefruit
| Original Song Title: | "Dancing Barefoot" |
| Original Performer: | U2 |
| Parody Song Title: | "Eating Grapefruit" |
| Parody Written by: | MrMacphisto |
The original of this one was written by Patti Smith back in 1979 for the album "Wave." This parody is based on U2's cover of this song performed for the Threesome Soundtrack back in 1994. This was also inspired by Weird Al's parody of "Zoot Suit Riot", named "Grapefruit Diet." Note that the entire last stanza of the original "Dancing Barefoot" lyrics is left out of U2's version, and so this parody does the same.
I have food addiction
I am addicted to brie
Cheese is my food connection
And grease adds lots of calories
Here I gain cause I like to fry
Won't eat that celery
Gonna need another pound of meat
I'm eating grapefruits
Trying to get slim
Legs are bruising, cannot swim
People thinner look like mannequins
I tried dehydration
I tried some exercising
Ate some carbohydrates and
Then, I was roasting some wings
Here I gain cause I like to fry
Weigh four hundred twenty
Even though I'm only 5 foot 3
I'm eating grapefruits
Trying to get slim
Legs are bruising, cannot swim
People tell me I should try Atkins
Feed for recreation
Me, intoxicated by cheese
I need some liposuction so
I can finally see my feet
Here I gain cause I like to fry
Own stock with Sara Lee
Now I know I've reached obesity
I'm eating grapefruits
Trying to get slim
Kids can't use their jungle gyms
When I sit down, all the metal bends
Oh god, I want some food [11x]

Ouch... (looks at the vote) did I piss off the fat community?
Wow, this is fabulous. I bet you would have gotten a lot more votes if more people knew the song. I am a U2 fan and thoroughly enjoyed this... esp, "me...intoxicated by cheese!" Timing is impeccable, and great use of original lyrics!
Thanks, Leah... :) Yeah, this one is a bit more obscure... I'll check out some of your songs as well....
