The Lyrics
Inspired by Hitchcock's "The Birds"
Possessed canary, mental hen
Our avian friends have turned
Into be-feathered assassins
I'm more than just concerned!
My parrot's cage has broken bars;
Say, who's a pretty boy?
O gliding to see-eek and destroy
(Seek and destroy!)
O gliding to see-eek and destroy
Oh noa crow! Oh f**k, a duck
And holy s**t; a tit!
The ravens are all ra-a-vin'
And swallows like to spit!
Don't mess with larks in parks past dark
Their gain will be your loss
And don't ever cross an albatross
(Cross albatross!)
And don't ever cross an albatross
I'm ostracized by ostriches
And stalked by storks each day
Those penguins in their tuxedos
While "dressed to kill", they slay!
You'll get no peace from psycho geese
Geeses Pieces you'll be
And why would woodpeckers pick on me?
(Why pick on me?)
And why would woodpeckers pick on me?
From finch I flinch; from quail I quail
With bloodlust they do stare
I'll be disembowelled by an owl
Unless I take great care
A mob of turkeys want revenge
For Thanksgiving affairs
Beware, say a prayer, fear in the air
(There's fear in the air)
Coz Tweety's flipped out and he don't care!
Our avian friends have turned
Into be-feathered assassins
I'm more than just concerned!
My parrot's cage has broken bars;
Say, who's a pretty boy?
O gliding to see-eek and destroy
(Seek and destroy!)
O gliding to see-eek and destroy
Oh noa crow! Oh f**k, a duck
And holy s**t; a tit!
The ravens are all ra-a-vin'
And swallows like to spit!
Don't mess with larks in parks past dark
Their gain will be your loss
And don't ever cross an albatross
(Cross albatross!)
And don't ever cross an albatross
I'm ostracized by ostriches
And stalked by storks each day
Those penguins in their tuxedos
While "dressed to kill", they slay!
You'll get no peace from psycho geese
Geeses Pieces you'll be
And why would woodpeckers pick on me?
(Why pick on me?)
And why would woodpeckers pick on me?
From finch I flinch; from quail I quail
With bloodlust they do stare
I'll be disembowelled by an owl
Unless I take great care
A mob of turkeys want revenge
For Thanksgiving affairs
Beware, say a prayer, fear in the air
(There's fear in the air)
Coz Tweety's flipped out and he don't care!

I'm a bit chicken of birds, since they all speak fowl language. 5's
a truly harrowing ditty...lol...5s
This is superb!...Love, the "Geeses Pieces" line....one of my favorite movies, "The Birds" ...and just a great job, here...above the birds, funny..
.........(and YOU ask ME if MY medication's stopped working - sheesh, the nerve....)
fantastic Kristofesque stuff Kristof - love all the birdplay-wordplay......very very clever - 555
but of course, as our national anthem's first line announces... "Australians all like ostriches...."

You realize your bar has been raised considerably, don't you? Not that I think it'll ever be a problem for you! Masterfully written, great wordplay here! 555
Well, just when you don't think Kristof can get any better...
Thankee thankee thankee! Tim: *groan* ;-).....Al: Cheers, bud!.....AFW: glad ya liked it!....Stu: LOL! I stopped taking my medication years ago..no you didn't...yes, I did! wimblewimble...Rick: I've been told by my doctor to leave my bar alone for a while..;-) Bye!
Phil, you smooth talking bass turd, you! Thanks...
Now I am officially p.o.'d. You and Spaff have 24 hrs to get outta town. Take Stu and Claude with you. And don't come back until you quit writing these over -the-top, impossible to match parodies that make the rest of us look so bad with our feeble schlock. THIS MEANS YOU! We ain't kiddin' 'round anymore. Or at the least, tell us where that little crossroad is, that place where you sell your soul to the devil for parody writing skills like this. I mean it. This one is for the birds :-))
I started laughing here: "Oh no…a crow! Oh f**k, a duck And holy s**t; a tit!" and didn't quit once the rest of the way through! Wonderful!
The Devil Has Possessed Me As Well To Give You... FIVES!!!!
Highly emu-sing! Totally grouse! Too young to KTOS, but most tanagers are. You should be pigeon this to a record company!
OK, I'm spent. Too many great puns to mention, you loon.

Jake/Luke, whatever you real name is. That was poor. Lol. But a great song, all 5s, must go in for SOTM
Sticking my head in the sand and saying nothing but "Brilliant! 555"
I don't think I can come up with a comment worthy of following this one.
Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, then.
Those birds, they eagle me, I flip them (or was that the other way around).
You had a goal of a birdie, but you shot an eagle! Clever, Stu!
I meant, clever Kristoff!
OMG...this just might have become my favorite parody ever. Kristof, you have to stop. Now. I desperatley need some of that talent juice that you've been hoarding in your basement. This is brilliant!
(ABC) Still very good.
(ABC) Really funny, Kristof!!
(P) Bizarre Kristof, though I don't think I KTOS.
(ABC05) just a brilliant cacophony of outrageous bird puns, all carried by perfect pacing, KR
(ABC) Excellent rhymage!
(ABC) Still a tour de force of puns and internaly rhyming. A real tweet.
(ABC05) See above. Still love it.
ABC--I have enjoyed this before...and tonight is no different. It's just about as brilliant as anything you've done, KR...=) Very nice!
ABC: Didn't know the original, so I had to wing it (or look up the lyrics). Too funny, excellent job!
This is seriously my favorite parody of yours jamfull of great puns, and rhyming, they honestly don't get much better than this!
(Decathlon - Event 9) Genius. Pure genius. Makes me want to stay inside for the rest of my life...oh, wait I'm gonna do that anyway. 555 tons of crazy bird repellent for you!
(DEC) See above (SPLAT) !!
made me chuckle.i'll never look at grannies budgie in the same way again! top job 555
(decath9) a Kristof classic this one, and I'm grateful to it because since reading your advice I've stopped messing with larks in parks after dark and I feel like a new man
Decathlon...it's classic and fabulous...and this event was just screaming for it's entry...nicely done, KR. =)
Briliant Rhymes there Kris, 5s
Excellent song. At first I was thinking "Bird Flu parody?" when I saw the title.
