| Parody Song Title: | "I'm Really Gone" |
| Parody Written by: | Michael E Cormier |
It's been a while since my last parody, as being a single dad doesn't leave much time for inspiration, or writing. I got this idea from the people who used to claim Elvis Presley was alive and working at a Burger King. Over 31 years now, and no credible sightings. Hmmmm...............................If you still think that The King is alive and well, then this one goes out to you.
Well, bless my soul, do you really think
That I’m alive and well working at Burger King
Didn’t you read the stories that I died in the john?
I fell off (boom) I’m really gone
It’s true, true baby.
Well, my fans are crazy. Tell me, what do you think?
Jim Morrison and I are living on the same street?
Tell me anyone who could keep a secret this long,
I wasn’t caught, (Proof), I’m really gone.
It’s true, true baby
Please don’t think that I’m well and fine,
I’m worth more now than when I was alive
And my little girl has put me to the test
She married someone who would scare me to death
She married the man they call The King Of Pop
If I were still alive, I would’ve surely dropped
But I’m glad to say she and he broke up
It wasn’t long, (ooh), I’m really gone
It’s true, true baby
My fans are waiting for me to speak
They see me everywhere every single week
But nobody has a camera that works just fine
Do you really need more proof that I’m not alive?
Just understand that the pills I got
Took me out, along with my big gut
So please stop overeating and taking drugs,
I was wrong, (mmph), and now I’m gone
It’s true, true baby
It’s true, true baby
I’m really gone
That I’m alive and well working at Burger King
Didn’t you read the stories that I died in the john?
I fell off (boom) I’m really gone
It’s true, true baby.
Well, my fans are crazy. Tell me, what do you think?
Jim Morrison and I are living on the same street?

It’s true, true baby
I’m really gone

Great idea Michael, and loved how Jim Morrison made the appearance I was hoping for!
At least with Morrison, the circumstances surrounding his demise might lend some credence to a cover up, with no autopsy performed on him, and only Pamela Courson's word to go by. With Elvis, I never got it. The same people who believed the tabloid article about him alive and well working at Burger King must've forgotten the pictures in The National Enquirer of Elvis in his casket. He was just a enormously charismatic individual who's death his fans just didn't want to accept. Thx for your comment Peregrin. (I suppose I could've mentioned Andy Kaufman, or the Canadian rock group Loverboy, but Elvis's early songs were much too short for multiple inclusions. Last confirmation count of Kaufman's death and Loverboy's death: Kaufman - Yes/ Loverboy - Only Their careers. lol) ;-)
As the great Warren Zevon sang in "Jesus Mentioned" Can't you just imagine/Digging up the King/Begging him to sing/'bout those heavenly mansions/Jesus mentioned./He'd been walking on the water/With his pills.
Ah, Warren Zevon, another who's time came much too early. I wonder if his Heavenly mansion has British werewolves. lol
Thx John
