Song Parodies -> Night And Day
| Original Song Title: | "Night And Day" |
| Original Performer: | Cole Porter |
| Parody Song Title: | "Night And Day" |
| Parody Written by: | MacDaffy |
I was watching the movie "De-Lovely" a while ago. It's a semi-biographical musical about Cole Porter. One of the singers has trouble getting the feel of "Night And Day. ""It's about obsession," says Cole and proceeds to seduce the young man at the same time he's teaching the song. That led me to thought of another young boy or girl somewhere having been seduced just as surely and as carelessly for another obsession..
Like the beat beat beat of a gun butt
On some poor, scared Iraqi's door
Like the tick tick tock of a two dollar clock
In the I-E-D by the store
Like the drip drip drip of the I-V
When another battle is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating: You! You! You!
Night and day
You are the one
Only you are keeping me here and under the gun
Whether Baghdad or Tikrit
In a dusty camp or darkened street
I think of you
Day and night
Night and day
Why is it so?
Why can't you just swallow your pride and let us all go?
In the mortar fire's boom
In the shadow of a lonely tomb
I think of you
Day and night
Night and day
Deep in the heart of me
All this turmoil will roil and boil and always be part of me
You might sleep the whole night through
But I'm out here shedding my very life's blood for you
Day and night
Night and day...
On some poor, scared Iraqi's door
Like the tick tick tock of a two dollar clock
In the I-E-D by the store
Like the drip drip drip of the I-V
When another battle is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating: You! You! You!
Night and day
You are the one
Only you are keeping me here and under the gun
Whether Baghdad or Tikrit
In a dusty camp or darkened street
I think of you
Day and night
Night and day
Why is it so?
Why can't you just swallow your pride and let us all go?
In the mortar fire's boom
In the shadow of a lonely tomb
I think of you
Day and night
Night and day
Deep in the heart of me
All this turmoil will roil and boil and always be part of me
You might sleep the whole night through
But I'm out here shedding my very life's blood for you
Day and night
Night and day...
