| Parody Song Title: | "The Don Imus Apology Song" |
| Parody Written by: | A Room Full Of Monkeys |
Hey there homies! Don Imus here. After six weeks at Reverend Al’s Sensitivity Camp, I’m ready to issue my REAL apology, because the good reverend and his Ghett-stapo have shown me the light. For the record, I swear I had no idea you people were so sensitive about your hair. Hit it boys!
There’s NO negroes, like ‘FRO negroes, they’re SOUL negroes fo’ sho!
Everything about them is appealling!
They’re not nappy-headed, no no no!
With a Brillo scouring the ceiling
You “keep it real” -ing!
You be ghet-to!
They’re GRAND people, them TANNED people, got CANNED calling them ho’s!
I just had no clue what it’s like being black
So I’m taking those hurt feelings back
Now, whether you’re shooting hoops or dealing crack
I’m SO down with the ‘fro!
(Instrumental Interlude -- in a display of bravery and forgiveness, the Rutgers Women’s Basketball team join our hero onstage for some heartwarming booty-shaking-------------------- and now the big finale, with arms linked, kicking like Rockettes, I swear):
There’s….NO…negroes like…’FRO…negroes…you GO negroes, YO YO!!!
I must do my penance for my lousy rants
And join my victims in this rowdy dance
Plus I’ll even wear the giant clowny pants
And SO…ON…WITH…THE………FRO!!!!!!
(That’s right -- a giant afro wig the size of a Volkswagen slowly descends upon his head, the rainbow butterflies are released, and the Very Reverends Jackson and Sharpton walk onstage with his Honorary Negro Doctorate Certificate as the crowd erupts in racially harmonious cheering.)
And NOW we can all just get along.

Claude? Red Ant? Whoevere it was this RULED
It sure ain't PC, but this is funny. I'd love to see someone talented in Flash animation have some fun with this. Should I be concerned that my security code for this comment is NGA?
I-yi-yi. . .No need to leave a huge comment here, you know I don't comment much unless a title catches my eye, so wow.
hardee har har
This sounds spafflike to me, but whoever did it its very well done.
The sad part is, I can imagine Imus singing this. It would be every bit as meaningless as his real apologies.
I echo McKludge and Jack here... super-skewerin, dude!
I mus' give you fives.
Glad I picked up enough of the backgound on this one to know what's going on (though I think I might have guessed, anyway). Superbly non-PC, and I really hope nobody comments on the author's name...
As close to the bone as parodies get...and all the more brilliant for it. Bra-freakin-vo! 555+
Extremely well written, whoever the monkey in the room is
