The Lyrics

Yes, it's true. I am a furry (but a conservative one). I'm not one of those people who goes around dressed up like an animal, though friends have dared me to do that sometime... Anyway, those of you who have seen the infamous episode of CSI that dealt with furries, it's a load of bull. On the bright side, it may give you a clue as to what this song is about, namely the 'furry fandom' of people who like anthropomorphic animals. It does contain a mild naughty reference, but past SOTM winners frequently have, too. Enjoy. :3
Folks think furries are nothing but a fetish
That's utter tripe
(Blame CSI)

They think we like to dress up all as foxes
Well that's a lie
(Wolves, too, are fly)

But still, there's more to it than just fursuiting
Most of us draw
(Try that with paws)

But all that makes the film crews' frenzied shooting
Is what is wrong
(Furpiles at cons)

Yiffin’, yiffin’! Creaming in the rear
Yiffin’, yiffin’! Get a room, ya hear?!
Looks bad to me, it's bad for furs, looks bad to me, it's bad for furs
Nasty's what they are, looks bad to me, it's bad for furs

Folks think that we're just weird, all things considered
Or that we're gay
(Hey look, I'm straight)

I think we're mostly harmless, some embittered
Of humans' ways
(Such is our fate)

But most, we only draw our furs in pictures
Often mundane
(Sometimes profane)

And have our own fursona or char-ac-ters
Then people came
(And slurred our name)

"Furries, furries! Send 'em to the pound!
Furries, furries! Bet they screw their hounds!"
Insulted me, insulted furs, insulted me, insulted furs
Bastards put us down, insulted me, insulted furs

Ah me! Though I'm a member of the nation
I get left out
(But I don't pout)

Some day we just might have our vindication
'Cause Mickey Mouse
(Is from our house)

And though furries have often been derided
Let's flip the dime
(Tails wins this time)

The ver-dict is not out or been decided
About our kind
(It's not a crime)

Fandom, fetish, what-e-ver we are
Anthros, shifters, werewolves, quads and taurs*
I'm not furry, but I'm a fur, I'm not furry, but I'm a fu-r-r-r
This is what we are, I'm not furry, but I'm a fur


------
*Anthros: animals with human qualities, usually bipedal
Shifters: animals or people capable of transforming
Quads: also called ferals, they are 4-legged animals that may be able to talk or whatever
Taurs: 6-limbed creatures similar in makeup to a centaur but based on any animal
Do a Google Image Search for any of these for examples.

Funny, 'culiar.

I saw that CSI episode: you mean that's not how it is? Damned TV always lies! Some great puns here, including " fursona". Shame you didn't make "verdict" "furdict" (or possibly a bit more adult), but great stuff all the same. Good to see you foraging for more topics, Jay. I'd vote you straight f(o)urs, but this deserves 5s.

Interesting take on a topic that seems to be personal to you. No cheap jokes here, 555 for the effurt. (oops)

lord help us the day that genetic manipulation actually lets people truly become furries. I get freaked out enough when my grocery bagger has a chain from her nose piercing to her earring. Imagine if she also had cat ears and a tail :-)

SOTM - Gawd help us all the day CSI takes on the parody song community of Amiright, the general populace will judge us by the standards of poomaster, I'm sure of it...

Furry Funny!

(SOTM) Coincidentally, when I read this, there was an ad for IMVU on the side of the page...and it happened to feature a fox chick! This parody totally rocked the balls for me...and it may have hit a little too close to home...did I just say that?

Hair-larious.

(SOTM) this must be a hard OS to do pacing-wise, but when it works it works well, like in your "Insulted me, insulted furs, insulted me, insulted furs" and variations - and great invention of "fursona" wannabe- 555

(SOTM) Furry fantastic.

(SOTM) Twisted and perfurted and five-worthy.

(SOTM) Only know the OS from some old commercial, and didn't know what a furry was until I looked it up on Wikipedia/Urban Dictionary, but being that I do call myself Cat (and I do feel a bit of the feline in me), I can sympathize! And ironically, an ad for a 3D chat thing with this animated fox-woman showed up right next to the parody, weird. Nice job.

(SOTM) Well . . .I have to admit, that is a rather odd but unique parody mustang. Hmm, , I think I'm going to go shave really quick. . .
Mikey Squirrel - May 30, 2007 - Report this comment
SOTM- I've seen that CSI episode too, and it was strange. As was this parody. But being a furry squirrel made me enjoy it, despite not knowing OS. Good work.
Red Ant - May 30, 2007 - Report this comment
(SOTM) This goes to a whole new level when hearing TOS. Out-freaking-standing, Jay. In pursuit of hirsuit, or, maybe in this case, "her suit".
Kristof Robertson - May 31, 2007 - Report this comment
(SOTM) Wonderfully odd parody of a tough OS. This is a winner, fur sure! 555
Jack Wilson - May 31, 2007 - Report this comment
Loved it! I only knwo the OS from the movied Easy Money when Rodney Dangerfield sings it
Ethan Mawyer - May 31, 2007 - Report this comment
As far as I know, this would be a great theme song for the furs, but I know nothing about the furs outside of this parody. Usually I'm not a fan of parodies aimed at a small group of people, and its true that I'm not a fanatical supporter of this parody in the literal sense of the word, but I think this is a case in which writing for a very specific group of people without being asked to is a good thing.
