"I Scored A Catwalk Model Wi' Some BS, Astrological"

Parody Written by:

Kristof Robertson

The Lyrics

My second stab at the G&S classic...
I scored a catwalk model with some BS, astrological
I talked about Uranus (but it wasn't scatological)
She told me she's a Pisces and although I couldn't give a fu..ss
I said I was the planet's first Aquari-sagittarius!
I bragged that I had dabbled in the black arts and clairvoyancy
While checking out her rack and wondering about their buoyancy
The honey flashed a smile, thus indicating I might have a hope
I asked her if she'd like to see my private pocket telescope!

[ALL] He asked her if she'd like to see his private pocket telescope! (x2)
Astrology? Astronomy? He got 'em mixed up; what a dope

She looked a little quizzical; I made a fast recovery
And tried to stop my lustful gaze from always heading southerly
In short, I won her over with pronouncements quite illogical
If you think I'm immoral, you can kiss my ass-trological!

[ALL] In short, he won her over with pronouncements quite illogical
If you think he's immoral, you can kiss his ass-trological!

She asked me 'bout the spirit world; was I adept at channelling?
I told her Cobain often speaks thru me (Boy, was I flannelling!)
And thus convinced her Elvis Presley's on my psychic Rolodex
And astral planing's so much easier when having rampant sex
You'd think she would have scoped me: that my lies were ineffectual
But, sadly, this girl thinks that Paris Hilton's intellectual
She's never read a novel, and she shuns all knowledge factual
But who cares, when her body's paranormal, supernatural?

He don't care, coz her body's paranormal, supernatural! (x3)

I claimed I could predict the future like that Nostril-damus dude
She said she'd like a reading, after which she's show her "gratitude"
I asked her what her name was; seems that she was christened "Krystal Ball"
I said, "Folks call me Gene E. Lamp, and you can rub me 'til I'm sore!"

[ALL] He said folks called him Gene E. Lamp? We're not convinced this guy will score...

We went to my apartment, but because I had no incense there
I set alight a car air-fresh'ner and I waved it in the air
I found a pack of tarot cards that my ex-lover left behind
And told the gal to concentrate, undo her blouse and free her mind
I mumbled lots of muddled Hebrew phrases learned at synagogue
I whirled 'round like a dervish (and I accidentally kicked the dog)
And when I came out of my trance, I said "It seems your future's bright-
With health, wealth, fame and fortuneincident'lly, can you spend the night?"

[ALL] We can't believe this bozo got the Amazon to spend the night! (x3)

The story ends quite well, my friends: she was awed by my artistry
And so impressed, she got undressed and we engaged in "palmistry"
Although you may be sickened, I won't offer an apology
There ain't no law says you can't score with smooth talk and astrology!

[ALL] There ain't no law says you can't score with smooth talk and astrology!

The moon is is the fifth house. This is great!

I always thought Astrology and Astronomy were the same thing. How 'bout that... Very clever, Kristof, as always. I personally think if I hear one more take on 'Major-General' I'll just go postal and get a nice, white, interlocking jacket. But that's much more a statement about the OS. Once again, very clever, very funny, very multi-syllabic. Is that last one even a word?

"...kiss my ass-trological!" LOL!! This is perfect, Kristof! So many great lines...you really are one of the best, Mister...

a wonderfully written and worthy parody, indeed...5s

Excellent, excellent song there :-D

Mwahahahaha... more than just taking the Pisces :-)

I thought I'd copy Kristof's lines and catch a cracker unawares
Although I'm rather ouija-bored, she might remove her underwears
But there's a minor drawback in that all those things that I don't know
Unhappily I can't tell my astrology from my elbow

brilliant brilliant stuff Kristof, although it's sad what happened to the poor dog - as usual, too many dazzling lines to pick just one out, altho Gene E. lamp, and your lame get-out-of-jail after confusing astrology and astronomy spring to mind - LMAO - 555 (this compares on about equal footing with your "Artificial")

Kristof, I am still L-ingOL! This is out of this world funny! Definitely SOTM material. Highest Fives!

Thankee, thankee y'all!
John: Tried to work a moon joke in, could'nt! hehehe
2nz: Yeah, I know the Major-General's getting a bit tired, but it's such a great OS to parody...and multisyllabic IS a word (no hyphen) :-)
Arwen: Yeah, I know I am...;-)
Alvin: Cheers, buddy!
Adam: ditto, mate!
Phil: You're so fast! If you ever want to do a duet....
Stu: The dog's OK! Thanks for the positive feedback Rick: Cheers! Can SOTM take another one of these MG parodies?...hope so
Bye!

I give you four F's.....Funny, Fitting, Fabulous, and Fantastic....So good, you must be G or S reincarnated...whichever one wrote the lyrics..

Although I'm worn out from this OS as well, this is very funny and definitely SOTM material.

Thanks AFW, Antman and Kat!

A duet? Sure, Kristof - as long as you don't mind me finishing first: I'm told I always do that ;-)

Splendid, Overlord Kristof. Fave couplets/rhymes: clairvoyancy/buoyancy and recovery/southerly. And too many other great bits to mention. Plus, I've long been a fan of Uranus. Allow me to agree with AFW's four F's and add one more: FREAKING BAR-RAISER!

SOTM - I'll have this printed on hard copy so that I can honestly say that I've read it in the (cue) cards that this will score many points in this months round. :-)

(SOTM) Unbelievably good!!!! I could probably quote the whole thing back to you as my favorite line! 5's

Still love it. Psychic rolodex. Lighting car air fresheners for incense. Heh heh. Great ideas - I intend to try them.
stuart mcarthur - October 20, 2005 - Report this comment
(SOTM) yeah, still fantastic - just so many funny gags crammed in so tightly, and I love all the nudge-nudge ones, like "gratitude"

SOTM - DKTOS, but some funny rhymes!
Rick C - October 23, 2005 - Report this comment
(SOTM) Still makes me LOL. Lots of humor (that means humour where you come from) in this marvelous parody. One of my faves of yours.
Red Ant - October 24, 2005 - Report this comment
(SOTM) Still excellent, and kudos for realising even in the title that Astrology is in fact BS. Many great lines in here.

(SOTM) Smoooooth, Kristof. You know what they say, "Unlucky at cards.." Plenty of jokes packed into this one. 555

(SOTM) Kristof, anyone who can write frikkin' genius stuff like this must have a horoscope with some hilariously creative Mercury and/or Gemini stuff happening! 555!

Still very clever and especially liked the whole section from '...undo her blouse and free her mind' to 'can you spend the night?' the second time through.

It appears that almost every line of the parody has been highlighted for its cleverness and humor by someone ... except the telescope line, which I thought was great. Of course, there really are TMGLTM; but now I think they've all been mentioned.
Spaff.com - April 01, 2006 - Report this comment
Still love it, Kristof, perhaps even more than "Extensively Remodelled" due to the increased number of triple rhymes. More faves: channeling/flanneling; inteffectual/Paris Hilton's intellectual. Lovely stuff.
