Parody Song Title:

"Copycat, Copycat"

Parody Written by:

MICK TERRY

The chorus originally started as a parody, then developed into the current story song with its own distinctive melody.
1: "This is Brandon Skye, reporting live from Chopper 5,
where all the scene below is purely bedlam.
Another bomb attack, now they happen back-to-back,
as rescue workers race to save the victims."

2: In a dingy flat, now someone listens to all that
with eyes absorbing all that is presented,
with slightly twisted smile as they stumble through the pile
of rubble that is what he had intended.

CHORUS:
Copycat, copycat, Duplicate Man,
Copy a crime just as fast as you can.
Design it, refine it, like on the TV
and blame it on your adversary.

3: It's a bigger game than any fifteen-minute-fame,
to see if he can last without detection.
The people that he kills are just fodder for his thrills.
He's got no cause, no plan, and no direction.
CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
He'll copy the techniques and tactics of any group of fanatics
and only do his work when they're in the news.
The cops are more than willing to assume that all the killing
is done by someone with something to prove.

4: "This is Brandon Skye, reporting live from Chopper 5,
destruction down below is monumental.
Another bomb attack or the death of a maniac?
Police are thinking this one's accidental."
CHORUS:

Actually not so much funny as clever or witty. Deadly serious subject. Could you write another one about school shooting copycats, like the ones vying for the record set by Virgina Tech?
