Song Parodies -> Every Day (I'm A Gettin' Older)
| Original Song Title: | "Every Day" |
| Original Performer: | Buddy Holly & The Crickets |
| Parody Song Title: | "Every Day (I'm A Gettin' Older)" |
| Parody Written by: | Paul Robiinson |
Well, as you may have heard (or seen) me say, Aging is Mandatory, Maturity is Strictly Optional. Getting older can be difficult, but it doesn't necessarily HAVE to be. If your health and spirits hold up and you carry on and continue doing all the things you enjoy doing as much as you're able it really isn't that bad. My Dad just turned 89 and he's had some rough patches, including some family losses and a broken hip Last May. But he's recently started going back once or more a week to play "Pan" (A card game that originated in Asia that involves strategy and wagering) over in Commerce (he really enjoys it and is still pretty good at it.) As of last summer I still played a decent game of basketball (albeit well below the rim) and I still play a helluva a game of ping-pong. Anyway, "54" in just around the corner for me (April 1st), but that's alright....beat's the alternative. So enough...this is longer than the parody. Enjoy....
Every day, I'm a gettin' older
Every day my reflexes get slower
Soon my hair will be completely gray (a-hey, a-hey, hey)
Every day, toes are getting colder
Oops! It seems I've lost another molar
Getting old is such a bitch, oy vey! (oy vey, oy vey, vey)
Every day peeing's getting harder
Suddenly I am a chronic farter
What'd you say? Speak a little louder
And look at me
Every day is a little grosser
Find I'm always getting more moroser
Isn't it 'bout time you went away? (away, away, way)
Every day pain pills keep me plastered
Seems my mind drifts back into the past, sir
Don't you think it's time you went your way? (away, don't stay, hey)
What'd you say? No, I cannot hear you
Here I lay, I 've got nothing to do
Go away, you have overstayed
Your welcome with me
All the time I'm a bitching bastard
I should lighten up and get some laughs, sure
Change my act and look at life that way (I may, just may, hey)
Enjoy all my blessings every dayyyyy!!!

Another saying is: People age, but they do not mature. Great job.
Thanks, Tim!
Too many funny verses to just pick out one line! 5's
Adagio, Thanks! And you know, it's a VERY fitting song today because I am such an old MORON.....Can you believe I posted this with my name spelled wrong? Got two "ii" 's in the middle there. Kind of fitting because apparently my own two old "EYES" didn't notice that when I was doing the final editing on this one. On top of that it wasn't more than about 20 minutes or so from when I noticed another author didn't get credit on their author page for one because they had an extra space at the end of their name and I wrote a note to ChuckyG about it. So I'm happy I wrote this, glad you liked it and amazed at what an old Dunce I can be....
Shoot...I didn't even notice that you mispelled your name. I'm glad that you wrote to CG already. My eyes must be getting to me too.
I know the feeling, Paul. Super parody :-)
Adagio, I think I need to enlarge the print-view size - or get new eyes. Phil, it REALLY annoyed me to miss that, you wouldn't believe how many times I proof-read this and made little changes to make things fit and flow better. To mispell my name and not see it really pissed me off. Oh, well, guess I should read my last verse out loud about 20 times to myself...take my own medicine. Thanks.
i can relate...funny one...5s
Thanks, Alvin!
Paul, I can relate, too. This is one of the reasons why I've gone back to performing on stage after a hiatus of more than 20 years - keeps me young - and the cast of the musical I'm currently in ( "1776" ) has guys all the way from their early twenties into their late 60's/early 70's. We can all relate to each other - it's great! Also, I maintain a regimen of regular aerobic exercise - it's AMAZING what being in good aerobic condition can do for your outlook on life and sense of inner youthfulness. Just look at Jack La Lanne - he's one of my sources of inspiration!
AMEN, brother...and right on!
Johnny D - That' sounds really cool, JD. Say, that audition you had back a ways, January , I think. How did it go? Diva - I'll see that "AMEN" and raise you a couple of goofy smiles...You know, I kind of had the idea to use "Every Day" for SOMETHING a little while back but I wasn't exactly sure how many verses there were and what order they went in. Then I started to have the basic premise for this about a week ago, but I was going to hold it back until near my birthday or 50th/54th post or whatever. Then I realized the whole DAMN point of the ORIGINAL song was about EVERY DAY - having HOPE & OPTIMISM; making EVERY day in your life special in some way if you can - or at least TRYING to move your life in a better direction. So screw waiting for your birthday or some other event....write it up, spread the word...yada-yada. Thanks again, everybody.
Paul, I know as I get older, my vision gets progressively weaker, but I don't remember having double -vision . . . so when did you start spelling Robinson with two i's?
Let me put on my reading glasses so I can type out some fives.
Daviid C - II thiink iit was just about the tiime II started gettiing really , really, extroadiinariily stupiid, so your guess iis as good as miine. Jan, can II borrow those readiing glasses before II ediit my next parody submiissiion?
I think this is my favorite of yours, so far, Paul. Very nice job.
Good payrody, good message, Paul.
*Giggle* Live in the moment and enjoy the process!
Diva, Thanks!
Right on! Hey Paul -- we're ALL getting older! Just recently, a co-worker my age was saying "I refuse to move up to the next power of reading glasses" and I laughed. You know why.
Mari D - "Ehh...? What'd you say, Dear?" Thanks! If you haven't seen (ha-ha) it yet Adagio has a fine posting today on breaking your specs...No bi-focals for me, though, I'll get separate reading glasses if I need them but I won't even try to figure out which lens I have to look thru to see...I'd hurt myself for sure...
well done
Stephen, Thank you very much!
Nice job.
Excellant!
Serafina & Mikey - Thank you! Glad you liked it. Hmmm...see one of the "One-ster" family (Herman or Granpa, ya think?) visited this song. What they possibly have against this poor little ditty? Oh, well. Thanks for your vote, too, ya' little creep, I had so many good responses to this so far, your little nonsense doesn't bother me at all.
