Prince song parodies

I found a couple of Prince song parodies online and thought I'd share them with you guys, cuz I'm nice like that! 8)



1999
I've been wanting some refreshments, but the prices are just far too high
And my credit card was chopped up and rocketed right to the sky
So I'm waiting for a discount, it's taken several stupid days.
And now its finally come I'm going out of this stunned mullet phase

And they say their prices have been slashed down so I better get into line
So tonight I'm gonna buy it cause it's 19.99.

The clerks have made a price change, I nearly went looney tunes
So I grabbed the nerdy clerk and said "I want to buy some stinking booze!"
"I'm tired of this waiting, can't you see I'm nearly broke?"
"So you'd better change that price back or ya gonna start to really choke"

So they said their prices have been slashed down so I better get into line
So tonight I'm gonna buy it cause it's $19.99

The lines have packed up chock full, this really isn't my kind of day
So I grabbed a shot gun and blasted all the people in my way (Yeah)
I'm getting really mad now, no body better mess with me (No)
I've got the strength of several rhinos and I can sting better than several bees

So they said their prices have been slashed down so I better get into line
So tonight I'm gonna buy it cause it's 19.99

So they said their prices have been slashed down so I better get into line
So tonight I'm gonna buy it cause it's 19.99

So they said their prices have been slashed down so I better get into line
So tonight I'm gonna buy it cause it's 19.99

So they said their prices have been slashed down so I better get into line
So tonight I'm gonna buy it cause it's 19.99



1999
"1969" Parody by Wild Man

Jumped into my Mustang, in the 8-trac are Hendrix songs
sitting right beside me, are a clip, pepsi cola and bong
Started off to college to hang out with some chicks
Had to make a pit stop for gas, granola and Bics.

Jim Morrison's my hero, so is tequilla and lime.
Tonight I'm gonna party cause it's 1969
1969

Jumped into my Datsun its a 240-Z
Got a real foxy lady, sitting right here next to me.
Going to the disco, got to get there by eight
The Bee-Gees are now playing on my cassette tape.

John Travolta is my hero, so is a powder white line.
Tonight I'm gonna party cause it's 1979
1979

Jumped into my mini van that is our family car.
Really don't have dinero to be hanging out at the bar
The twins are needing crayons and a new pair of shoes
The wifey's on the sofa taking a big fat snooze.

Hulk Hogan is my hero, cause he don't cost me a dime.
Tonight I'm gonna party cause it's 1989
1989

Jumped on to my Harley , my old lady's still a babe
When we get done riding, she rubs on a little Ben-gay
I pop a few Viagra, and then we play hide and seek
Celebrex is heaven when your arthritis hits it's peek

I am my own hero, and the CD's keeping time
Tonight i'm gonna party , cause it's 1999
1999

Let's go crazy
"Let's Go Razing (A Song for the coming conflict)" Parody by Syncronos

Shrub is still Shrub, but he's got a point here. We should all be tired of Saddam's crap. Let's kick his ass before someone else tries to pull another 9/11 stunt. Remember, both Pearl Harbor and 9/11 weren't executed by large nations, but dictators with large enough egos and military forces. Sodamn Insane has both of these, and has proven he's willing to use them. That's too dangerous a threat to just ignore. Time for the US to go hunting before they start hunting for the US again.

(Spoken)
Fellow Americans
We are gathered here today to talk about this thing called war
Barbaric world strife, its effects last forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here to tell you about something else
Our freedom
In a world of never ending skirmishes
It's always under the gun, day and night
So when you listen to that Shrub on Capitol Hill
You know the one - Mr. Everything's All "Right"
Instead of battling over which side, right or left
Put all that trouble behind, baby
Cause in this life things are 'bout to get much harder for our freedom
In this life, defend your home!
And when Saddam Hussein tries to bring us down, we'll go razing
Kick him in his butt!


Well I kinda like
The world we're all living in
Take a look around
Do you want it to end?
You see, crazy Iraqi's
Mad at the world
His name is Saddam, sitting on a bomb
"Attack! Attack!" is all I heard

CHORUS:
Are we gonna let that dictator bring us down?
Oh no, let's go!
Let's go razing!
Let's kick butt!
Let's go find Saddam Hussein
and kick him in the nuts!
Let's go!

We're all excited
Bombers gonna fly
But a war is a war
Some people gonna die
And when they do
What's it all for?
They died to protect, the land of the free
That's what they're fighting for!

CHORUS
Are we gonna let that dictator bring us down?
Oh no, let's go!
Let's go razing!
Let's kick butt!
Let's go find Saddam Hussein
And kick him in the nuts!
Let's go!

Come on, baby
Let's kick butt!
Yeah (Razing)
Let's go Razing!

(Guitar Solo)

Are we gonna let that dictator bring us down?
Oh no, let's go razing! (Go razing!)
I said let's go razing! (Go razing!)
Let's go! (Let's go!)
Go! (Let's go!)

Mr. Everything'll Be All "Right" won't be around too long
But freedom must endure, must be defended
Hang tough, soldiers!

We're going!
We're going!
Bombing!

(Long Guitar Solo)

"Little Red Corvette" Originally by Prince
"Little Rancor Pet." Parody by Steven Cavanagh

Hey, they breed tiny dogs. It could happen.

I guess I should've known
on the day I saw him in the pet shop
next to all the mice.
They opened up the cage
and he grabbed himself a piglet.
Ate it in three large bites.
And I'd seen that before
In a movie that was set in
a faraway galaxy.
Yeah he was only knee height, but boy that fella could bite
I recognised him instantly

And so I bought my

Little Rancor pet
buddy, you're getting fat
Little Rancor pet
knows what happened to my neighbor's cat.

I guess I should've realised
when I drove him to the place
where he would live with me.
Cuz in five minutes flat my cosy little apartment
was a national emergency.
Believe it or not, I felt kind of happy
cause I had a cool pet again.
Yeah he is only knee height, but boy that fella can bite
and he really likes to roar until 3am.

Oh yeah!

Little Rancor pet
buddy, you're getting fat
Little Rancor pet
knows what happened to my neighbor's cat.

It's working out well- I bought the downstairs apartment
and converted it to his pit.
Then got a monkey, here on a chain
and he dances like his life depends on it!

Little Rancor pet
buddy, you're getting fat
Little Rancor pet
knows what happened to my neighbor's cat.

Little Rancor pet
eats all that I throw down (what you throw down)
Little Rancor pet
Think I'm on my way to ruling this town.
Little Rancor pet
buddy, you're getting fat
Little Rancor pet
knows what happened to my neighbor's cat.

"Shrillest Yet Pundette" Parody by William Tong

Dedicated to Clinton-hating pundit Ann Coulter, fired recently from the National Review

(instrumental intro)

Ann Coulter should have known.
That the way she barked would mark her as crazed.
But it happened fast.
She is the kind of person
Who believes Bush ain't a big dunce.
Loves him, forgave his past.

Ann Coulter must be dumb.
She went off her rocker, full of venom.
Urging for Arab abuse.

She embarrasses the Right.
I guess she picked the wrong fight.
Now she'll pay for lack of good sense used.
They sent her away.

Shrillest yet pundette.
Coulter left us aghast.
Shrillest yet pundette.
You are unloved, just like your past.

She made a career telling lies.
On TV, you saw her face.
Where her mouth just ran free.

'Cause Ann Coulter is so shill.
She will follow no strictures.
We're not shocked she said, "Lock up men swarthy."

She's so full of rot.
Demeanor so surly.
She blundered when she wrote stuff so crass.

'Cause she embarrassed the Right.
I guess she picked the wrong fight.
And we say, "Coulter, have you passed enough gas?"
Oh, yeah!

Shrillest yet pundette.
Coulter left us aghast - went too far.
Shrillest yet pundette.
You find that you're unloved, just like your past.

Nobody likes you... (Nobody likes you)
Whine, to no avail (Whine, to no avail)
'Cause you've got the urge for making a scene
('Cause you've got the urge for making a scene.)

(instrumental break)

Proved that she's crazy (Proved that she's crazy)
Shut up, oh, please! (Shut up, oh please!)
She is still tryin' to blame others for her hate machine.
(She is still tryin' to blame others for her hate machine.)

Shrillest yet pundette.
Coulter left us aghast.
Shrillest yet pundette.
You are unloved, just like your past.

Shrillest yet pundette.
Coulter, please get out of town!
Shrillest yet pundette.
'Cause if you don't, they're gonna run you.
Shrillest yet pundette, right into the ground

(Shrillest yet pundette.)
Right down to the ground.
(Coulter, please get out of town.)
You, you, you get out of town!
You're losing; you're time is past.
(All past)
You find that you're unloved, just like your past.

Ann, you are an ass like we've never seen.
You are snide...
Yeah, you are snide, and so rude.
Got fired from your magazine.

Coulter left us aghast.
Shrillest yet pundette.
You are unloved, you are unloved,
Just, just like your past.

(Shrillest yet pundette)
You're gonna go down.
(You're gonna do down.)
Shrillest yet pundette.

'Cause if you won't, 'cause if you don't,
You're gonna find nobody wants your ass around.
(Wants your ass around.)
Wants your ass around.
(Wants your ass around.)
Wants your ass around.
(Wants your ass around.)

Shrillest yet pundette!

"Weird Al Yankovic" Parody by Tim Hall

This is a tribute to the man who has inspired a lot of us in this artistic genre.

I guess I always knew
When you wrote My Bologna
That Another One Rode The Bus

Your skills are like a surgeon
And you smell just like Nirvana
Coolio sure will fuss

You do like Rocky Road
Which is one of the many good foods
You cover in your songs

In an Amish Paradise
You gave the people advice
Including Eat It with Lasagna
And Yoda I said

Weird Al Yankovic
Master of parodies
Weird Al Yankovic
His compositions are never cheese

Well I took your advice
And I dared to be stupid
After I lost on Jeopardy

I felt a little strange
When I heard you were playing
An accordion for us to all see

Believe it or not
I thought it was real cool
Hearing you play polkas for me

You writes parodie so well
So I just said what the hell
And I enjoyed your creative energy
Oh, yeah!

Weird Al Yankovic
Master of parodies
Weird Al Yankovic
His compositions are never cheese

Parodies like yours (parodies like yours)
Are hard to compose (hard to compose)
These creations are a sign of genius
(These creations are a sign of genius)

Move over, Alfred (Move over, Alfred)
Give me the songs (Give me the songs)
I'm gonna try to outdo the parody genius
(I'm gonna try to outdo the parody genius)

Weird Al Yankovic
Master of parodies
Weird Al Yankovic
His compositions are never cheese

Go get an egg and beat it
Go get an egg and beat it (egg and beat it)
Weird Al Yankovic
And when you do you are gonna make
A new funny classic parody


Manic Monday

"Crappy Hyundai" Parody by Tim Hall

Yes, Prince did write this song

After only two months
I had to tow the car back to the shop
I was driving down the main street
Until I heard a really loud pop
I barely got home
and it wouldn't move an iota
These are the days
When you wish your car was a Toyota

CHORUS:

It's just another crappy Hyundai
It ruined my fun day
Feels like a Monday
Never runs right anyway
It's just another crappy Hyundai

Had to pay the towing fee
And I found out what was wrong
I just talked to the mechanic
And he tried to give me a song
He said the engine blew
Due to a defect they couldn't see
Blame it on Hyundai
Since the car's just out of warranty

CHORUS

All of the cars
Why did I have to buy a Hyundai in
The first place
Price did matter
and reliability was not a big case
Quality's down
They said in a magazine
The repair bills are really obscene
Time it goes so slow
When you're in a spot

CHORUS


Manic Monday

"Manic Monday" Parody by John Barnett

This came into my head as I was involved in fixing another serious networking problem at a former employer, where even on good days it was very busy.

Copyright (c) 2002.

Nine o'clock already,
I've just alighted from the train
I have now arrived at work
and I am fixing users problems again
Now I can't be late
'cos then I guess I won't get things done
Working here I know
that things pile up when I sit on my bum.

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
That's my fun day
My I don't have to run day
It's just another manic Monday

Have to catch an early tube
Got to get in to work on time
because if I arrived late the
problems would all end up in a queue
'Cause it takes me so long
Just to figure out which items to do
Blame it on the count
of users working weekends now.

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
that's my fun day
My I don't have to run day
It's just another manic Monday

All of the nights
Why did the servers have to pick last night
To break down
Doesn't it matter
that I have to fix the two of them

They show me on their console screen
Something that makes me go green
Time it goes to slow
When I'm living hell.

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
That's my fun day
My I don't have to run day
It's just another manic Monday


Nothing Compares 2 U

"Played Truth or Dare With You" Parody by lebeiW15

Parodies like this tell me I really need to get a summer job

It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Still we play this stupid game
We play it every night and every day
Yes, we play this stupid game
Since it's your turn, you can say whatever you want
Make me do whatever you choose
You can make me blow my nose and have me eat my snot
I'll do it
Said, I'll do it because you told me to
I played truth or dare
Played truth or dare with you

It's been so funny what we have done
Tell me where did we go wrong
Nothing can make you give up playin' this game
How long will this stupid crap go on
I could tell you to hug every person you see
Or just make you tell a truth
It was my turn, I said "dare" and you told me
Guess what you told me
You said "man why don't you drink five gallons of chicken soup"
Man, I'm a fool
'Cause I played truth or dare,
Played truth or dare with you

All the flowers that are planted, man
I told you to eat
And you said "come on, no way"
I know the things I dare you man are sometimes hard
Don't be chicken, just give my dares a try
I played truth or dare
Played truth or dare with you

Nothing compares 2 U

"Nothing Compares to Glue" Parody by Weird Al YankOnMyGitch

It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took the glue away
I went out last night and bought some booze
Cause you took the glue away
I can drink whatever I choose
I can smoke some pot in a fancy bong or bowl
But nothing
I said nothing can get me high as glue
'Cos nothing compares
Nothing compares to glue

It's been so boring with only beer
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these withdrawl tears from falling
Tell me baby where is the Bond.
I could smoke and take every drug I see
But it wouldn't be the same as glue
I went to the doctor guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said girl u better stop sniffing glue no matter what you do
but he's a fool
'cos nothing compares to glue


All the pot plants that u planted me
in the back yard
All died when u went away
I know that sniffing with u baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try
'cos nothing compares
Nothing compares to glue


Nothing Compares 2 U
"Nothing compares to (Klingon) Gagh" Parody by Know 1 can hear you dream

This parody is dedicated to Emma Saunders (for proofreading) and Doctor Chris (without whom I probably never would have learnt the terms borborygmus and borborygmi) over at www.sev.com.au. May your repasts never be without honour. wink

It´s been seven hours and fourty days
Since it blew my tounge away
I eat out every night since, anyway
Though my health´s in fast decay
Since my first plate I can taste whatever I want
I can eat refuse if I please
I´ll be late as dinner in a snotty restaurant
From chewing, from this slithering takeaway disease

Cos nothing´s as good
nothing´s as good as Gagh

I got such a treat at Worf´s Balls Inn
Blood and prunes and colon assault
Nothing can stop these borborygmi callings
Tell me baby, where´s the Targ in salt
I would put my lips around every dish I see
Could I only retain my urine
I went to the Doctor and guess what he gave me, guess what he gave me
He said man you better try to cut down, this much Inaprovaline
Will kill your spleen

But nothing´s as good
nothing´s as good as Gagh

All my faeces´ now have rotten covers, and my face´s blue
Most hairs´ gone, so is my weight
I know that crying like a baby won´t help me through
But I´m willing to take on another plate

Nothing´s as good
Nothing´s as good as Gagh

Nothing comes close
Nothing comes close to Gagh

Nothing compares
Nothings compares to Gagh


Purple Rain

"Acid Rain" Parody by Bethie Baby

Pollution causes all people sorrow
It makes sense if u just use your brain
EPA's never been victim to over staffing
Limestone buildings always crumble in the acid rain

Acid rain Acid rain
Acid rain Acid rain
Acid rain Acid rain

Never ever go out bathing in the acid rain

H20 combines with sulfur dioxide
Also NOx, C-O-2, and 2 of chlorine
Baby you can see the damage on the outside
It's such a shame rain water smells like brine

Acid rain Acid rain
Acid rain Acid rain
Acid rain Acid rain

Never ever go out bathing in the acid rain

People I know, I know, I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out 4 some new fuel
That means u 2
U say u want clean air
But u can't seem 2 make up your mind
I think u better chose it
So we will not have no more acid rain

Acid rain Acid rain
Acid rain Acid rain

If you know what makes up acid rain
C'mon raise your hand

Acid rain Acid rain

Never go out bathing, never go out bathing
In the acid rain

"Bell Tone Hearing Aid" Parody by L.A. Miller

Grandpa Prince

1 2 1 2 3

Huh?

I was working part time in a five-and-dime
My boss was Mr. McGee
I told him several times that he'd lost his mind
'cause he just couldn't hear me

Seems like I was busy yelling something or perhaps nothing
No different than the day before
That's when I saw her, Hey, I said I SAW HER
She walked in through the out door, out door

She wore a
Bell Tone Hearing Aid
The kind U find in a Walgreen's store
Bell Tone Hearing Aid
'Cuz she was so old she couldn't hear no more
Bell Tone Hearing Aid
Can't you speak lo-uh-uh-der?

Built like they were
She had 2 ask
If I could check and see
what might be wrong

So, look here
I put new batteries in the backs
And-a-she went on listening
To me down at old man Johnson's farm

I said now, old ladies never turned me on
But something about the clouds and her mixed

She-e-e wasn't 2 bright
But I could hear when she kissed me
A shrill whistle from her ear

She wore a
Bell Tone Hearing Aid
The kind U find in a Walgreen's store
Bell Tone Hearing Aid
'Cuz she was so old she couldn't hear no more
Bell Tone Hearing Aid
Can't you speak lo-uh-uh-der?

The rain sounds so cool when it hits the barn roof
And the horses wonder who U are
If you close your eyes you don't have to see
That she ain't a movie star

Listen
Put them in your ears so you can hear me
But it was no good
and I got the chance 2 say it all again

She nearly had a stroke
'Cause she listened very close
With both those aides cranked up to ten

(Bell Tone Hearing Aid)
The kind U find (The kind U find)
The kind U find (In a Walgreen's store)
Oh no no
(Bell Tone Hearing Aid)
(She was so old)
Where have all the Bell Tone women gone? (She couldn't hear no more)
WHAT? (Bell Tone Hearing Aid)

I think I... I think I... I think I love her

(Bell Tone Hearing Aid)
No No No
No No No (The kind U find)
(In a Walgreen's store)
(Bell Tone hearing Aid)
Tell me
Where have all the Bell Tone women gone? (And she was so old she)
(Couldn't hear no more)
(Bell Tone hearing Aid)
I think I love...

"Give Ann a Raspberry and Say" Parody by William Tong

Dedicated to looney syndicated right wing columnist Ann Coulter [Raspberry: (Slang) A derisive or contemptuous sound made by vibrating the extended tongue and the lips while exhaling.]

(instrumental intro)

They gave Ann a hard time for her brand of slime.
She's lost it - her sanity.
They told her several times, "Don't cross the line."
But she is a bitch, with vanity.

Seems that she was busy booing something close to nothing,
But liberals just made her sore.
On TV, we saw her; ooh, we saw her.
Miss Couric made her butt sore, butt sore.

Give Ann a raspberry, and say:
"Your mind's designed for a second class whore."
Raspberry, and say:
"Your bosses forewarned - you couldn't swear much more."
Raspberry and say:
"You stink! We loathe you!"

Shrill just because she has the nerve; so nasty.
We should send her to the funny farm.
So look here: Ann Coulter's the hack we dislike
And we'll keep deriding her bitch-woman lack of charm.

We say her uppercrust ways should be spat upon.
Said bad things about Arabs; got her nixed.
She isn't too bright, and you could tell by her history.
She slanders to get her kicks!

Give Ann a raspberry, and say:
"Your mind's designed for a second class whore."
Raspberry, and say:
"Your bosses forewarned - you couldn't swear much more."
Raspberry and say:
"You stink! We loathe you!"

She sounds like a fool when she goes through the roof,
Telling horsesh*t that is so bizarre.
Blunders and shouts with a frightening screech.
She thinks she's a movie star.

Listen: the weight of her slime is a hatefest.
She she'll tell ya:
When she has the chance, she'll use her poison pen.

She's so deranged - a joke
This looney's fun to poke.
She's a girl whose mind is a snake den.

Give Ann a raspberry, and say:
"Your mind's designed for a second class whore."
Raspberry, and say:
"Your bosses forewarned - you couldn't swear much more."
Raspberry and say:
"You stink! We loathe you!"

"Las Vegas Buffet" Parody by Tim Hall

I think I'm...I think I'm...I think I'm hungry!

1 2 1 2 3

Yeah

I was losing big time on a keno machine
My money was running out
I told myself a large number of times to stop or
My vacation will be in real doubt

Next thing I knew I was casually strolling down the Strip
No different than the day before
That's when I saw it. Ooh, I saw it
I barged right in through the glass door, glass door

It was a
Las Vegas Buffet
The kind you find in any casino
Las Vegas Buffet
Any one will do after losing at keno
Las Vegas Buffet
I think I'm hungry

When I came in
The hostess had to ask me
If I wanted a non-smoking booth

Than I went
To the buffet and loaded my plate
Under the clean sneeze guards
I found out her name was Ruth

I found that stale shrimp cocktail never turned me on
But something about the steak and eggs mixed.

I wasn't too bright
Because I overfilled my plate
My appetite was just nixed

It was a
Las Vegas Buffet
The kind you find in any casino
Las Vegas Buffet
Any one will do after losing at keno
Las Vegas Buffet
I think I'm hungry

The prime rib looks good when it is freshly carved
And the horseradish is really hot.
However, I had room for crab legs
Expensive it is not

Listen
They say all buffets aren't the greatest
But I'll tell ya
For the price of nine dollars it is the best

It is all you can eat
Better value than most
With the food as fine as it was then

The kind you find (the kind you find)
The kind you find (in any casino)
Oh my my
(Las Vegas Buffet)
(Any one will do)
Where have the three buck steak and eggs gone to? (after losing at keno)
Yeah (Las Vegas Buffet)

I think I…I think I …I think I'm hungry.

Raspberry Beret

"Raspberry Batleth" Parody by Know 1 can hear you dream

I guess that it probably takes a hardcore Star Trek fan to really recognise and apprechiate the inside jokes and references in this song. So yes, it´s meant for them/us, primarily. Also, it´s meant to be built like one of those classic sf-short novels with a twist towards the end. Or in this case, in the third verse. (Thanx to Emma Saunders over at Sev Space for proofreading).

I was waiting ½ time in a forward 10
My boss was Captain Picard
He told me several times that he didn´t like it when
I probed 4 Data´s mileage card

Seems that I was busy doing something close 2 service
Indifferent, like the way I broom
That´s when I saw her, ooh, I saw her
She came out from the men´s room, men´s room

She waved a raspberry Batleth
The kind U seen, well, never before
Raspberry Batleth
And caught on its edge U saw intestines and gore
Raspberry Batleth
I wanna serve her

Green like I was, I had the nerve 2 ask her
If she planned 2 cut me down as well
And, look here, she throw me on my back on the floor
And we started wrestling
2 the sound of her rebel yell

I said, now overkill ways always turn me on
And it´s something ´bout the way that U scream
She wanted 2 mate
And I could tell when she bit me
She knew how 2 make me beam

She waved a raspberry Batleth
The kind U seen, well, never before
Raspberry Batleth
And caught on its edge U saw intestines and gore
Raspberry Batleth
I had 2 serve her

Hearts pound so red when we engaged on stage
And the Con-visitors wandered ´bout 2 the bar
Honour-guests saw that our love was strong
Revealed like a battle scar

Listen, they say first contact is decisive
And I tell U, if I had the chance 2 cling on 2 her again
I would have made it so, enabled thrusters, go
4 a Klingon fine as she was then

Raspberry Batleth
The kind U seen, well, never before
Raspberry Batleth
And caught on its edge U saw intestines and gore
Raspberry Batleth
Q´pla... Q´pla... Q´pla, I love her


When Doves Cry

"When Pigs Fly" Parody by ParodyKeet

Who do you think's in this picture?
Lay and Co. engaged in a scam...
Hiding the truth in curious companies,
They kite the checks and make up some other brand...

(Chorus)
Maybe they said keep on shredding
To cover up what they got in.
Maybe they're just like Dick Nixon,
Trashing the paper to blot out their sins...
Maybe they tried to bribe Congress,
While letting those pensions die...
Maybe they bought up the White House!!!
I'd believe in Enron when pigs fly.

Touching employees' money
You know they just did not care
You know they left the cookie jar empty
And what they did was horrible and unfair.

(Chorus)

Men won't speak up in high places
To tell about what they'd done
How do they dare show their faces?
How do we hear the truth about Enron?

(Chorus)


When Doves Cry
"When Doves Cry" Originally by The Artist Formerly Known As The Idiot Known As Prince
"When Blood Dries." Parody by Malcolm Higgins

hey oj.. if it don't fit, you still a piece of Sh*t

dig if you will, this picture.
of O.J as he did all this
the wet of their blood covers him
so tell Chris Darden,
how did you screw up this??

dream if you can a courtyard
rockingham full of gloom
killers strike furious blows, and..
they feel the heat
the heat on O.J's all true

how could you just leave them bleeding,
that's evil and just so cold ( so cold)
justice was right in demanding
maybe you're just like a killer... too cold
you killed off your kids mother,
she and a young man did..
found a small glove, not the other..
leather gloves will go tight, when blood dries

slashed right across her stomach
guts all slip out from inside
you've got the legal team all tied up
dna leaves trace of you
even when blood dries

how could you just leave them bleeding,
that's evil and just so cold ( so cold)
justice was right in demanding
maybe you're just like a killer... too cold
you killed off your kids mother,
she and a young man did..
found a small glove, not the other..
leather gloves will go tight, when blood dries

how could you just leave them bleeding,
that's evil and just so cold ( so cold)
justice was right in demanding
maybe you're just like a killer... too cold
you killed off your kids mother,
she and a young man did..
found a small glove, not the other..
leather gloves will go tight, when blood dries

improv.. to end...


Purple Rain

"Purple Rain" Originally by The Artist When He Was Known As Prince
"Purple Veins" Parody by Malcolm Higgins

I never meant to cause you any sorrow,
I never meant those things were gross
I only wanted one time tomorrow ,
I only wanted to see a surgeon for those purple veins

purple veins purple veins
purple veins purple veins
purple veins purple veins
I only wanted to see your legs without those purple veins

I never described them as as varicose
I never wanted to cause you pain
but baby those spiderwebs are purple and gross
so see the surgeon and this will all end

purple veins purple veins
purple veins purple veins
purple veins purple veins
I only wanted to see your legs without those purple veins

honey, I know I know I know your body's changin
it's time we all looked for something we could do, this means you too
you're always wearing leather, but fishnets would be so kind
I think everyone knows it you'd better try to lose the purple veins
purple veins purple veins
purple veins purple veins
purple veins purple veins
I only wanted to see your legs without those purple veins

Let's go crazy
"Let's Go Razing (A Song for the coming conflict)" Parody by Syncronos

Shrub is still Shrub, but he's got a point here. We should all be tired of Saddam's crap. Let's kick his ass before someone else tries to pull another 9/11 stunt. Remember, both Pearl Harbor and 9/11 weren't executed by large nations, but dictators with large enough egos and military forces. Sodamn Insane has both of these, and has proven he's willing to use them. That's too dangerous a threat to just ignore. Time for the US to go hunting before they start hunting for the US again.

(Spoken)
Fellow Americans
We are gathered here today to talk about this thing called war
Barbaric world strife, its effects last forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here to tell you about something else
Our freedom
In a world of never ending skirmishes
It's always under the gun, day and night
So when you listen to that Shrub on Capitol Hill
You know the one - Mr. Everything's All "Right"
Instead of battling over which side, right or left
Put all that trouble behind, baby
Cause in this life things are 'bout to get much harder for our freedom
In this life, defend your home!
And when Saddam Hussein tries to bring us down, we'll go razing
Kick him in his butt!


Well I kinda like
The world we're all living in
Take a look around
Do you want it to end?
You see, crazy Iraqi's
Mad at the world
His name is Saddam, sitting on a bomb
"Attack! Attack!" is all I heard

CHORUS:
Are we gonna let that dictator bring us down?
Oh no, let's go!
Let's go razing!
Let's kick butt!
Let's go find Saddam Hussein
and kick him in the nuts!
Let's go!

We're all excited
Bombers gonna fly
But a war is a war
Some people gonna die
And when they do
What's it all for?
They died to protect, the land of the free
That's what they're fighting for!

CHORUS
Are we gonna let that dictator bring us down?
Oh no, let's go!
Let's go razing!
Let's kick butt!
Let's go find Saddam Hussein
And kick him in the nuts!
Let's go!

Come on, baby
Let's kick butt!
Yeah (Razing)
Let's go Razing!

(Guitar Solo)

Are we gonna let that dictator bring us down?
Oh no, let's go razing! (Go razing!)
I said let's go razing! (Go razing!)
Let's go! (Let's go!)
Go! (Let's go!)

Mr. Everything'll Be All "Right" won't be around too long
But freedom must endure, must be defended
Hang tough, soldiers!

We're going!
We're going!
Bombing!

(Long Guitar Solo)

U.S.A.!




shocked Jesus wept. A truly disturbed mind produced this somewhat volatile 'work'.
Yet, I would donate my testicles to hear Prince sing this version on his new world tour.
"Hang tough, soldiers" indeed. What, like the way you pumped three fucking bullets into that rare Bengal tigers head yesterday in Baghdad Zoo? Yeah, real tough from behind a ten foot steel cage.
They're like pigs in fucking shit out there. Rootin', tootin, trigger-happy lil' Texas Petes.
"Yeeeee haawwww! Shoot that fuckin' thing in the face, Tommy! Ah think it was lookin' at yuh kinda funny."

I actually thought you would lock this thread for inciting political hatred.
I was a big fan of Mendouh the Tiger, who managed to live through two devastating wars, a tyrants inhumane regime and the sanctions imposed on his country by the Western world.
I was just upset to see him so thoughtlessly destroyed by boozed up soldiers of freedom. Sorry.
Uhhh...to keep this on topic, didn't Prince also release an album the same year as Survivor's 'Eye of the Tiger' tore up the charts?

I posted this not to incite political hatred, but because it is Prince related. Freedom of speech at the org should mean that people can express their opinions about things without fear that it will be censored. (obviously within reason.)

peace

Jimmy, you seem to have grabbed hold to the wrong end of a sharp stick.
I meant my own post concerning brain dead soldiers and tigers which may have been considered a flame, not your reworked song lyrics.
