Sing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
Then, you’ll swing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
That talk host is bound to get you,
Oh, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
That talk host is bound to get you,
Talk host, talk host, talk host, talk host, talk host...mmm...
(female vocal)
Richard Quest,
Start in to host, then soon, you’ll be hosting,
Richard Quest,
Turn on the heat, your feet will keep beating,
One, two, three,
He’s a talk sensation, (dee-de-oh!)
On TV,
Is the Quest that’s putting the world on its feet,
Richard Quest,
Once you begin, you have to give in to
Richard Quest,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that
If you’re not a dunce,
Oh, you’ll catch on at once,
Well, watch the guy on TV,
He’s that Richard Quest!

Wow Fred, you not only can't write anything original, let alone clever, but now you're doing it under other members' names? I didn't know who today's obsession was, so I Googled him. Guess what I found? CNN personality Richard Quest was busted in Central Park early yesterday with some drugs in his pocket, a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals, and a sex toy in his boot, law-enforcement sources said.[...] Quest was initially busted for loitering, the source said. Aside from the oddly configured rope, the search also turned up a sex toy inside of his boot, and a small bag of methamphetamine in his left jacket pocket. It wasn't immediately clear what the rope was for. Great choice!
Is there anybody here who still monitors submissions? Porfle Popnecker is one of the most gifted parodist to show ever show up at Amiright. But we're allowing this unfunny dumbsh*t of troll to harass him and drive him away? This person DID say he was thru with Amiright. Lets hold him to his word
NONE of the “geezer music” parodies are supposed to make any sense. They have intentionally been written that way so the autistic users on this board can understand it.
1.This is definitely not the real Porfle Popnecker 2. For Your Information's comment is disparaging to both old people and autistic people.
The author of the parody has authorized comments, and wants YOUR feedback.
