| Parody Song Title: | "Gory, Gory: Haul In Moolah (Battle Hymn Of The Movies)" |
| Parody Written by: | Tommy Turtle |
All six verses of the OS lyrics are here. Midi is here.
Mine eyes have seen the movies that our present times afford
Forgive me, folks, for being blunt: I'm ter-min-al-ly bored
Five hundred people murdered, and five hundred more get gored
Car chase goes crashing on!
Gory, gory: haul in moolah!
Do not let the trailer fool ya:
Not artistic, doesn't school ya
Explosions flashing on!
We can't rely on ratings from the Movie Ratings Board
Sick stabbings get a "PG", although loving scenes are "R'd" [1]
Clear moral: Kids, assault someone, but love them not, good Lord!
Gas trucks go smashing on!
Vi'lence, un-end-ing, will cool ya
Empathy? They'll overrule ya
Ev'ry time: another duel, ya --
See gunmen clashing on!
The euphemism's "Action" for fist fights with feeble plot
"Cut to the chase" each time whenever writer's in tight spot
While droning dopey dialogue, both crooks and cops get shot
My teeth go gnashing on!
Writer: You're a ghastly ghoul, ya!
Pallid plots: mass murders fuel ya
Generate gross gruesome gruel, ya --
Can't write; blood splashing on!
Instead of "sex and vi-o-lence", just "sex" is fine with me
I'd rather see four lips get locked than smashed repeatedly [2]
Or cut up with a chainsaw, as in "Texas", with a "T" [3]
The knives go slashing on!
Gory, gory, they're so cruel, yuk!
Watch the psychopathics drool, yuk!
Digging deeply the Dead Pool, yuk! [4]
Bad boys go bashing on!
Instead of Hanni-bal across the Alps, there's Hannibal --
Calls doll a "tasty dish": not compli-ment, but cannibal
Makes Jodie Foster wish could make a "steer" of man, no "bull" [5]
Lec-ter goes thrashing on!
Film, spool after bloody spool, yuk!
Even got blood in the stool, yuk!
Cine: terrifying tool, yuk!
Box office: cashing on!
There's Halloween and Freddy, with his nightmare on Elm Street [6][7]
John Rambo: massive body count; cum corpses, quite replete [8]
I don't "sit on the edge...": no, I completely "leave" my seat!
Old plots, rehashing on!
'Stead of "Casablanca" (jewel!), crap! [9]
'Stead of birthing brilliance, you'll crap!
Shove your movies up your "mule": crap! [10]
Your trash, I'm trashing on!!!
[1] US movie ratings: PG = "parental guidance suggested", although children are allowed in unaccompanied and without restriction; R = "restricted"; children under 17 not admitted without parent or adult guardian.
[2] "Lip-lock": a prolonged kiss, slang derived from wrestling holds such as "armlock" and "wristlock".
[3] "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", 1974 and 2003.
[4] " The Dead Pool", 1988
[5] "The Silence Of The Lambs", 1991 and 2001 sequel; i.e., castrate Hannibal Lecter, as one makes a "steer" of a "bull".
[6] "Halloween", 1978, with endless sequels to the present day.
[7] "A Nightmare On Elm Street", 1984, also with endless sequels to the present day; killer's name was Freddy.
[8] "First Blood", aka "Rambo: First Blood", 1982, also with endless sequels to the present day; "Rambo IV" is in production as this parody is being written.
[9] "Casablanca", 1942, Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Claude Rains; IMHO, a jewel of a movie.
[10] "mule", i.e., "ass"

Pretty amazing spectacular, here...An epic movie review...all three thumbs and fingers up..
someday people may realize that violence is the true pornography. great job
Excellent, both in concept and execution - favourite line: "I don't "sit on the edge...": no, I completely "leave" my seat!"
Very good pacing...loved it. I normally don't vote on parodies that take the Lord's name in vain, but I did like this one a lot.
AFW, alvin, Phil Alexander, thanks...
Adagio, thanks. The expression ("good Lord"), was intended as the speaker's prayer for strength and understanding to cope with the idiocies described, and not as vain or disrespectful. Sorry if it came across that way.

Good song, although most of the violent films are PG-13 (Parents Strongly Cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.) instead of PG.
Amazing stuff TT - fantastic idea and OS to use, and literally TMGLTM, although I did admire "Empathy? They'll overrule ya" - LOL - 555
Some of the films mentioned are almost as violent at the OS. Great job, TT. 15 thumbs up for your capsule reviews.
Sorry then, TT, it was really very enjoyable.
Nicely done, Mr. Turtle and, I echo the sentiment. 555
Sheik, Stuart, John B., Rick C., thanks.
Adagio, thanks :)
BTW Stuart, flaTTer all ya like, yer TTribuTTe tomorrow is still gonna kick buTT! :)

Ditto Stu's comment, but my favorite line was "...I completely "leave" my seat!" LOL! I don't say this often, but this should have many more votes than it does. I rate this parody PFG-15 (you're smart, you can figure that out!).
Red Ant, thanks... Good acronym; maybe the Movie Board should add that one to their list?? :)
Very inspired. An article in the old Saturday Evening Post - Movies are too Dirty - stated that that if it has anything to do with the Bible it gets a "g" instead of "adults only" no matter what the content is.
2Eagle, very true... many made that comment about Mel Gibson's horribly violent Bible pic, which would probably have been R otherwise. Too gory for kids (or anyone). Thanks for v/c.
