Lola Parody - Mocha

Who can resist the much desired caffeinated drink of coffee? It wakes us up in the morning and sets us on our way very nicely. The most popular of these drinks is the Mocha Latte Cappuccino. One drop of sugar or two, cream, add any amount of milk, and I ask again: who can resist it? I can. I don't drink coffee and I know nothing about it or how to make it. I'm not even sure what's in a mocha latte cappuccino.

This parody is about my cat Mocha. She is a calico cat with brown fur and a beautiful shade of orange along her back. She looked like a coffee color and we decided to name her Mocha. (Amanda wanted Sage, but our friends on Facebook have spoken).

About halfway through this parody I realized that this is my third song about a cat. Am I the only one who finds that a little strange? None of my other parodies have anything in common other than occasionally having the same artist. Maybe strange is a poor word choice. I'll go with weird, or even kind of cool that three of my songs have a common theme. Perhaps I should post a picture Bailey on that post. By the way, I've gotten over Miharu.

I do want to say just a couple things: Mocha was declawed in only her front paws when we got her. Her previous owners did it to her. Why only her front? Make up a reason and it's right; we have no idea. Also, my son's name is Jacob. Just so you can understand a line better and not wonder who I'm talking about. He's eight months old.

Mocha

We picked her up down at the SPCA
Where the animals have their shots and chips already in.
Yes, it is convenient.
She sat very patiently in her cage
Her name was Peek-a-boo, but with just one look we thought "Mocha."
M-O-C-H and A. Mo-mo-mo-mo Mocha.

Well, I never was a feline guy
But once she sat in my lap I changed my mind
Oh, my Mocha. Mo-mo-mo-mo Mocha.
And I know she can't hurt me with her claws
'Cause she doesn't have any in her front paws
Oh, poor Mocha. That is sad for Mocha.
Mo-mo-mo-mo Mocha.

Well, we took her home on that same day
She was happy to go away.
She was afraid of both of us at first
Hiding from us was her doing her worst.

It's a lot of fun having her around
But I don't understand why her tail is never down.
Mocha. That's kind of strange Mocha.
Mo-mo-mo-mo Mocha
Mocha. Mo-mo-mo-mo Mocha. Mo-mo-mo-mo Mocha.

She got past her fear.
She made our house home.
She got comfortable.
And she settled in.
She didn't show she would ever leave.

That's just the way it is going to be
And that is just perfectly fine with me
And for Mocha. Mo-mo-mo-mo Mocha.
Mocha went and made herself the queen
She is indeed the queen; the Feline Queen.
Yes, that is Mocha. Mo-mo-mo-mo Mocha.

Well, it is going on two years now
And we really love her and she also loves us.
She even loves Jacob too...
Actually, I'm not sure if that part is true.

Well, I know that sometimes I can be lame
So I decided to give her a middle name.
It is Latte. She is Mocha Latte.
Mo-mo-mo-mo Mocha.

Mocha. Female cat Mocha.
She's a girl cat Mocha.

Mocha. Calico cat Mocha.
The calico Mocha.

Mocha. She's Mocha Latte H.
Yes, Mocha Latte H.

Mocha. Cannot drink our Mocha.
Do not drink our Mocha.

Mocha. Mo-mo-mo-mo Mocha.
Mo-mo-mo-mo Mocha.

Paparazzi Parody - Limited Time

Yes, another Gaga parody. Say what you want about her craziness, but I happen to like some of her songs. Restaurants are always having certain specials that everyone must have before they are gone either forever or for a short time. The advertisement always says "For a Limited Time Only." This Parody is dedicated to those deals. These deals help us in all honesty. How would we know it's the Lenten season without the fish deals? How would we know when St. Patrick's day was without the Shamrock Shake?
I do understand why these deals happen. For the most part, it makes the company more money at that time. Everyone (supposedly) loves the McRib and everyone gets it when it comes out. I doubt it would be that popular if it was always offered. That's just one example and one reason, but I do understand, but I like to make fun of things; hence PARODY.

Limited Time

We are the crowd
We're ruh-revolting
You are depriving us
Of some delicious food.

It's very tempting
When they come out our hearts sing.

Got the McRib
The Shamrock Shake
We make a mad rush
For them when they come out.

Let's avoid all this
Let us always have our fix.
I just want to question "why?"

We all love the food
It's unfair we can only have it
For a limited time.
Why are you so shy
Let us have it always and not just
For a limited time.

Promise I'll be kind
I'll still love you
When you are always mine.
You are always famous
I don't want to have to chase you
For a limited time.

The pizza places
Different kinds of pies
What was wrong with before
Why did you have to change?

The Big Italy
Is now just a memory.

Oh, Burger King
What are you doing now
You have the King Deals
They last only one day.

Come on, that is weak
Want it more before next week.
Let's stop all of this madness.

Why do you fix  all your prices
And always change your food
For a limited time?
Did you ever think that we
Wanted it for longer than
For a limited time?

I will fill you in
We always want it
When it leaves we cringe
We don't want to track and follow
Where it is being sold
For a limited time.

Lent time they have all the fish deals
Taco Bell: new item every month
Why don't you ever stay
Pure hatred is the price you pay!

I'm your biggest fan
But I can't go wherever you go
For a limited time.
I don't want to ever lose you
But you always say you're
For a limited time.

I still can't let go
Please tell me
I really just want to know
Why do you make people
Go crazy and sell things only
For a limited time?

Wanted Dead or Alive Parody - Always I am Adam

Have you ever wondered what kind of person I am? Probably not. But I decided to make a parody about myself anyway. My likes, my life, what I've done; basically, a very vague description of who I am. Some things are obvious, others are just weird and might not make any sense to some. But it's all true nevertheless.
Sadly, I do want to explain a couple things. 1st. When I say that I have a son and out of my children he's number one, I don't mean that he's my favorite, I mean that he was my first. I only have one child after all - so far.
2nd. I am bad at shaving everyday, but I slightly exaggerate because I think it's funnier.
Lastly, when I wrote this parody I thought the name of the song was Dead or Alive. In keeping with my "same-syllable-count" title, my parody was going to be I am Adam. When I learned that the song was Wanted Dead or Alive, I changed my title to fit the syllables. So, even though I actually never say it in the song, the title is Always I am Adam. I didn't feel like re-writing anything. I could argue that the end kind of says that I'm always Adam, but make your own decision. It is just a title anyway.

Always I am Adam

So this is me
In all of my glory
I'll tell you things
That no one else can see.

I've got my flaws
But I've got all of my highs too
I am the last son
Of Bill and Sue.

I am Adam
I really enjoy acting
With a bass voice
Yes I can sing
Glasses, I'm near-sighted.

Sometimes I shave
Sometimes it's not for days
It's sad to tell the days
By the hair on my face.

The only sisters I have
Are my two in-laws
Running the rides at Kings Island
Was my first job.

I am Adam
I have one child; a son
My children (children)
He's number one
A phone (the sax) I used to play.

Oh, I'm Adam

I am Adam
Eight is my favorite number
Green is my (guess what)
Favorite color.

And it is easy
To sing the alphabet backwards
I don't talk too much
I'm a man of few words.

My hair is brown
My eye color is blue
Everything here is 
One-hundred percent true.

I am Adam
I like making parodies
And maybe (one day)
I'll be known for these.

Oh yes, I am Adam
And I really love my wife
And she loves me (loves me)
Dead or alive.

Yeah, that's right
That is right
Dead or alive.

Say again
One more time
Dead or alive.

No matter what
Whether I am
Dead or alive
I am Adam.

Your Song Parody - My Songs

Well, look at that. Three years past. Where has the time gone? I honestly don't think I'm doing too bad. I've made quite a few parodies. I'm glad that I decided to share them with the world. And gee, that's the whole point of this parody. Funny how that works out.

Original: Your Song by Elton John http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13GD78Bmo8s


My Songs

They're a little bit funny
The things that I write.
And even when they're not they
Fight the good fight.
I can't make CDs
But girl if I did
I'd make money and
Happily we'd live.

The parody writer
Huh, is what I've become.
Not a man who can write songs
But instead just makes fun.
I know that my dreams seem unrealistic
Out of all the song writers
I want to get picked.

I've got to tell everybody these are my songs
'Cause what if I don't and everything goes wrong?
And no one ever
And no one ever
No one ever finds me
What'll happen to my creations
My Parodies?

It started simple
A nice fun joke here and there
But it blossomed into
A fun Passion
They all might not be
The best ever written
But there are a few that
Make me think again.

So excuse me forgetting
Some of my lyrics
It's hard to make all of
My ideas stick.
Anyway, maybe one day
My dream will come true
My parodies will all be popular too.

I've got to tell everybody these are my songs
'Cause what if I don't and everything goes wrong?
And no one ever
And no one ever
No one ever finds me
What'll happen to my creations
My Parodies?

And what if no one
And what if no one
No one ever finds me
What'll happen to me creations
My parodies?

Bad Romance Parody - Cool Yo-yo

So, Gaga huh? I'm sure this will spike interest. I wrote this on my birthday, actually. When I was still working at Cinfed. The best I remember is that I just made fun of whatever she was singing in the beginning. The "whoa oh oh" whatever. So, "Yo-yo!" I just make fun of such and outdated toy and have some fun with others. Maybe you love the yo-yo, maybe your childhood is based on ball-in-a-cup; fine. I'm just having fun.

Original: Bad Romance by Lady Gaga http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrO4YZeyl0I

Cool Yo-yo

Yo-yo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Yo-yo
I have a cool yo-yo.
Yo-yo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Yo-yo
It is a cool yo-yo.

Rah rah rock the cradle.
Around 'round the world.
Wah wah walk the dog
With my cool yo-yo.

Rah rah rock the cradle.
Around 'round the world.
Wah wah walk the dog
With my cool yo-yo.

Listen to me, all girls and boys
Throw away all of your expensive toys
And play with me.
Come, come, come, and play with me.

I have a special toy for everyone.
Some string plus some plastic equals so much fun.
Yo-yos are fun.
Fun, fun, fun, they're so much fun.

You've got to roll with it.
Yes, the pun is intended.
Mine is so cool
Cool yo-yo.

Get rid of them
Throw away all your toys
All you need is a cool yo-yo
(yo-yo-oh-oh-oh)

Just look at me
You know that I'm cool
It is because of my cool yo-yo.

Yo-yo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Yo-yo
I have a cool yo-yo.
Yo-yo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Yo-yo
It is a cool yo-yo.

Rah rah rock the cradle.
Around 'round the world.
Wah wah walk the dog
With my cool yo-yo.

I'm not talking 'bout ball-in-a-cup
They are already cool
So now give it up for the yo-yos
Give praise for all the yo-yos.

We're going back to simplicity now.
Some of you are skeptics
You're wondering how can they be fun
Yes, yes, yes, just play with one.

You've got to just try it
And I know that you'll like it
Because they're cool
Cool yo-yos.

You can do it
You can be just like me
All you need is a sweet cool yo-yo
(yo-yo-oh-oh-oh)

We will be awesome
Be the envy of all
'Cause we walk around with cool yo-yos

Yo-yo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Yo-yo
I have a cool yo-yo.
Yo-yo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Yo-yo
It is a cool yo-yo.

Rah rah rock the cradle.
Around 'round the world.
Wah wah walk the dog
With my cool yo-yo.

Rah rah rock the cradle.
Around 'round the world.
Wah wah walk the dog
With my cool yo-yo.

Pull the string up
On your finger
Catch it in your hand

Pull the string up
On your finger
Catch it in your hand

Pull the string up
On your finger
Catch it in your hand

Pull the string up
On your finger
It's all in the wrist, baby.

You know I'm cool
I'm the coolest around
When my yo-yo spins
It makes the sweetest sound

There is no French
For the word yo-yo
I don't speak French
So what do I know?

Yo-yo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Yo-yo
I have a cool yo-yo.
Yo-yo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Yo-yo
It is a cool yo-yo.
(simultaneously with)
So what do I know?
Tell me, what do I know?
I just don't know
Maybe it's yo-yo!

They are so cool 
I can barely stand it
Oh my gosh, I can't take no more
(yo-yo-oh-oh-oh)

I can see
You don't have what it takes
To be so cool and awesome with me.

Yo-yo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Yo-yo
I have a cool yo-yo.
Yo-yo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Yo-yo
It is a cool yo-yo.

Rah rah rock the cradle.
Around 'round the world.
Wah wah walk the dog
With my cool yo-yo.

Welcome Back

One year gone. Happy two year anniversary. So, I havn't written in a while. Sorry about that. It makes me a little sad that that happened. I've been thinking about it lately, and I'm thinking about starting again. I've written a few parodies since the last time I posted. The last one I wrote was in March 2011. I never posted them, and I don't know why. Remember my Chicken On The Run post? I said I was sad that I hadn't written anything in a while? Well, I'm sad that I stopped Parody Universe and didn't even try to come back. But I've had two years to rest and I've come up with so many song ideas; I just have to make them now. Sadly, I've lost a lot of interest, but I'll try to do this again. I already failed my one-parody-every-week promise, so I'll just say that I'll post when I can. It will be harder for me to write my parodies now. When I worked at Cinfed, I had plenty of time to do whatever when we weren't busy. But I have a new job now that requires constant attention. Basically, I don't have the luxary to stop and write down my ideas.  I may or may not explain how the ideas came or what parts were spontaneous and what was forced. I don't even remember for the most part. I'll just write what comes to mind.

Let me say a few things and straighten out some loose ends. I'm still not techno savvy, so I still can't make videos or real songs of my parodies, even though that would be cool. Also, Amanda and I are married now! Yay! And we even have a son too! I never did this when it actually happened, so I'll do it now: Danielle, thank you so much for your comments. I always like to read them and it makes me happy that you like my parodies. I especially thank you for your comment on Slutty In The USA; it always makes my smile. Again, thank you. I'd thank Haily too for her two comments, but she's not here anymore. Lastly, thank you too, Captain. You did comment and I won't forget it. It was a good ego boost.

Alright. Let's get this underway. Welcome back to Parody Universe!
