Keep On Loving You Parody - Keep On Betting You

Did I ever mention what my job was at night? I realized that I mentioned that I had a night job, but I don't remember ever saying what it was. I work at Pizza Hut as a delivery driver. One Saturday night when we were pretty dead, there was nothing to do, so my manager and I started playing cards; Jin Rumme. I like Jin, but I'm not a fan of Rumme. So I jokingly said "You want to play some Texas Hold 'Em?" Greg, my manager asked if I had any money to lay down. I laughed thinking he was joking. He got up, pulled out a black bag filled with chips, and laid down a five dollar bill. I laughed again as I put down my own five and he dealt the chips and cards.

Greg was good. He had me dwindled down to like three chips three or four times. In the middle of the game I had to take a delivery, and Keep On Loving You was on the radio. So, the chorus and second verse was spontaneous right then and there. The rest I made up the next day. By the way, I finally won. Greg was so angry it was hilarious. For anyone who knows how to play Texas Hold 'Em, we both went all in and I beat his three of a kind with a full-house on the river. The river is why he was so upset. X-D

Keep On Betting You

You should have seen by the look in my eyes, Greg
That I had something.
You should have known by the way that I called you
That I wasn't bluffing

And you never knew
That I wasn't new
But still you thought "I'll take this kid out
In a hand or two."

We both know it happened three or four times

You almost had me beat

But every time you knocked me down

I got back on my feet

And I worked hard

With every single card

And I knew that in order to win

I had to keep on betting

And I'm gonna keep on betting you

'Cause it's the only way you're gonna lose

I don't want to check

I just want to keep on betting you

And I worked hard

With every single card

And I made sure that surely

That you would lose eventually

And I'm gonna keep on betting you

'Cause it's the only way you're gonna lose

I don't want to fold

I just want to keep on betting you

I'm gonna keep on betting you

'Cause it's the only way you're gonna lose

I don't want to work

I just want to keep on betting you

Dream On Parody - Skin Care

After Chicken On the Run was written, my parodies came to me more easily. I wrote this one the same day. The first line was basically the foundation of the whole song. When people look in the mirror and mention their face, it's mostly about acne. (Or maybe that's just me). Either way, I was listening to Dream On and changed the first verse past the mirror-face stuff. The first part of the song was spontaneous up to the naming of products. From that point to the end, it was thought of. Just FYI, I don't have horrible acne, just average I suppose. But I have tried just a few. Formula 29 was the best ever, but it was discontinued :-( Anyway, this is just fun.

Skin Care
Every time that I look in the mirror
My skin isn't gettin' any clearer
Just more acne
I don't know what to believe
With all these lies
From all these skin care products that I buy

Well, they all say they're the best
So much better than the rest
And they lay it on so thick
So that we pay for another trick

In our lives we all want to look great
But it's so hard when our skin outbreaks
You know that I
Just don't know which one to buy

Neutrogena and Old Spice
I've tried them all once or twice
And all of them from Mary Kay
They didn't work but what'd you expect me to say

Proactive, Noxzema
"The best way to get clear skin" blah blah blah
Clearasil and Clearpores
I've tried them all and their ultra forms

Skin care
Products
I've tried
And I still have my acne

Skin care
I've tried
So much
And they just don't work on me

Skin care
Products
There are
Many
How do
I know
Which one
Will work

Zenmend, Acnezine
Oxy Balance, Formula 29
Maybe if I use them all day
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord'll take it away

I tell you, I'm not bitter
I just wish my skin was clearer
Oh no, I'm not angry
I just wish I didn't have so much acne

Take It On the Run Parody - Chicken On the Run

Yay for ten parodies!! If I was in any way "techno-savvy" I would make a CD, or at least some music videos...sadly, I'm not savvy in that area.

So, it had been about a month since I had written a parody. I finished "You Are Snoring", left Minnesota, and went on with my life. I was actually pretty depressed that I hadn't written anything in a while. Writing parodies apparently made me happy; go figure. Anyway, I was driving with Amanda one day when we passed a restaurant that she used to go to every Halloween. She told me "My parents would always take us to Chicken On the Run every Halloween."

I asked "Chicken On the Run?"

"Yes..."

"That's too obvious!" I had it. How could I not make a parody now? Take It On the Run. Chicken On the Run. Like I said, it was too obvious. So I went home, went on their website, and got all the information I needed and put it in the song. Everything about the restaurant in the song is on their website. The "double family friendly" part is because they said that they were family friendly twice, so... The whole song was thought of except for the eating around bit.

Chicken On the Run


Heard it from some guy who
Heard it from some boy who
Heard it from me you've been eating around

I've seen you eating fast food
But it's not what we're used to
You're eating at the more popular chains

And I'm not saying it's
An innocent snack here and there
I'm saying it's always everywhere

Well I'm telling you, girl
That that's not real food, girl
And even if it is remember this name

Chicken On the Run, honey
If you want some fun, honey
This is where you want to go
Sports for Queen City
Double family friendly
If you want some fun, go to Chicken On the Run!

Well I know our enemies
There's Popeye's and there is Lee's
And of course there's always KFC

Well I know they taste good
But it's not only about food
Do they have this kind of stuff too?

At Chicken On the Run, baby
They are open on Sundays
But only for Bengals games
Can you believe that
Chic-fil-A can't do that
So for football fun go to Chicken On the Run!

At Chicken On the Run, lady
And I'm not saying maybe
All their food's under ten dollars
Attire is casual
The cuisine is chicken
Obviously, it's CHICKEN On the Run!

At Chicken On the Run, sweetie
They're vegetarian friendly
I don't know how that is possible (pa-ha-hos-ibble)
Fifty-four people voted
Eighty-five percent liked it
You can't go wrong with Chicken On the Run!!

Heard it from some guy who
Heard it from some boy who
Heard it from me you've been eating around

Come Together Parody - You Are Snoring

I wrote this parody while I was in Minnesota, finding it hard to sleep at two in the morning (big surprise right?). But there was a good reason for why I was awake this time. It was my father.

On trips I have taken over my life - camping, famiy vacations, other miscellaneous - I could almost never fall asleep while my father was there. The reason: he snores so freakin' loud! I honestly have no idea how my mother sleeps through it! Anyway, I was woken up by his snoring, and I couldn't fall back asleep because of all the noise. I started saying to myself "You are snoring so loud that I can't sleep." Come Together by the Beatles was in my head all day and it was so that night too. So that one line fell into place; I just had to remove "that". Then the first line came naturally since it was true. I knew I had to write down my thoughts before I forgot them, and let's face it, I had nothing better to do. So, not wanting to wake my parents both up by turning on the room/bed light, I locked myself in the bathroom and wrote down the song.

First verse and chorus was spontaneous, second verse was easy, third I had to think of a bit, last verse was easy. It doesn't all fit exactly syllable for syllable, but it fits for the melody given.

You Are Snoring

I'm just lying here thinking

"What should I do now?"

Thinking "What can I do now?"

Cause I can't go to sleep. I say

It just is no use

I can't go to sleep with all of this noise abuse.

It's heavy breathing.

It's na-sil congestion

It's your sleeping siren

It's your sleeping wail.

Every one will know you're asleep

Everyone will hear because they themselves can't sleep.

You are snoring so loud; I can't sleep.

You must rollover

You are sleeping on your back

You need to sleep on your side

Apparently you won't snore like that

I really don't care how it works

I just know hearing you all night does not have it's perks.

You are snoring so loud; I can't sleep.

When will morning come?

I wish it was here right now

I can't wait for it all night

Can't stay awake all night

I need to get and wear earplugs next time

Sleeping through the night; oh! it would be so sublime

You are snoring so loud; I cant sleep.

You are snoring. Yeah

You are snoring. Yeah

You are snoring. Yeah

You are snoring. Yeah

You are snoring. Yeeaahh.

You are snoring. Yeeeaaaaaaahhh.

You are snoring. Yeeeaaaaaaahhh.

Uugghh...

You are snoring. Yeeeaaaaaaahhh.

Don't Bring Me Down Parody - Super Smash Bros.

Hello friends! First off, let me say that I now have another job, so I will be working one job from the morning until the afternoon, and then straight to my night job from there. So, I don't think I'll be doing reviews anymore (cause I was so on top of it too :<) I know the whole two of them were good (lol) but I'm done with them now. I will somehow find time to put up one parody a week though.

This parody I wrote while I was going on a trip to Minnesota. My dad was driving, my mom was asleep, and there wasn't much else to do. I thought about the parody a little bit the night before talking with Amanda. Something about eating came up and I made a joke about Kirby eating everything and that's why he's a puffball. For some unknown reason, Don't Bring Me Down popped into my head and the Kirby line just fell in place. So Kirby, Bowser, and Sonic were the only spontaneous parts of the song. Everything else I had to think of.

Let me explain a few things. "Why is Star Wolf there?" In SSB, there are replicas of characters. Young Link is just another Link, Ganondorf is just another Captain Falcon, and Falco is another Star Fox. Star Wolf is a third replica! Why is there three of the same character? "I don't think anyone cares" about wolf being there.

Pichu can't do any attacks without causing damage to itself.

"Peach puts Toad under so much abuse." One of Peach's attacks is to block any other attacks by having Toad block it.

My insert of "('Pika') (Thunderclap)" is Pikachu's Thunder attack sound replacing the random door closing.

"Break the Smash Ball." In SSB Brawl, there is a special ball that, if broken, will give an awesome ability to the character who broke it for a short time.

Bohemian Rhapsody Parody - Bohemain Lifestyle

Driving home late one night, I started listening to Bohemian Rhapsody on my mp3 player, and, of course, thought about how hard it would be to make a parody out of it; how it would be a huge accomplishment and a passed milestone. So, I listened to the song and thought about it, and this is what came to my mind. Just the way that Queen sang this song seemed liked someone being depressed and wondering “why?” So I stayed up for about two hours playing and replaying the song until the entire parody was made. Some things, like the meaning of life lines, came easily. This is the first parody I made in which everything was completely thought of and nothing was spontaneous.
Want to know why it's called Bohemian Rhapsody? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemian_Rhapsody
(History and Recording) Then my title will make more sense too.

Basically, there are five different musical parts to Bohemian Rhapsody. (Listen to the song and you'll understand). So, with my five different parts are different views. The first is what's the point of mankind? Why are we still here? What's the meaning of life? The second part is people who think there is no point and are just depressed and have a pessimistic outlook on life. (If you know someone like this, please help them). The third part is society and people wondering why on earth you trying to, Heaven forbid, think for yourself instead of just blindly following. The fourth part is a branch off of the third with a "there is no simple solution" and "people will tell you what to think" view. And the final part is self-reflecting. Find your own meaning in life. If you feel so inclined, you may post your answers to the final verse in the comments : - ) Just for clarification, I’m not depressed or anything. I just made the song for fun.

Bohemian Lifestyle
(1) This is all of our lives. It's not just fantasy
We get just one shot
There's no escape from reality
Open your eyes, and look at our world and see
What is the point now? Why are we still here?
We have been through the good, through the bad
We've been happy, we've been sad
What's the meaning of life?
Does it really matter to you...or me?

(2) Tell me. Why am I here?
What's my purpose in life? What's the point of all my strife?
Tell me. Why does life begin
When so many of us throw it away?
Tell me. With all our pain and cries
Why do we fight so we can live tomorrow
And carry on just like that
Throughout our entire lives.
So what? What can I do?
I am just one little man. I cannot make a difference.
This is how life goes: we die alone
We never make an impact on the world.
Tell me. (What's my meaning in life)
If we just die, what's the point of being born at all?

(3) I see the figure of a little confused man
What is wrong? What is wrong? Why are you so depressed now?
Why do you ask questions like a little frightened boy?
Let it be (let it be) let it be (let it be) let it be
Just let it be and don't worry-y-y-y
"I'm just a little confused about life."
He is just wondering why he is even here.
Never before has anyone been this absurd.
"I just want to know things, will you answer me?"
Absurd questions! You are ridiculous.
"Answer me."
Strange questions. You are ridiculous.
"Answer me."
Strange questions. You are ridiculous.
"Answer me." (You're ridiculous)
"Answer me." (You're ridiculous) (Never, never, never, never)
Answer you-o-o-o-o
"Please, please, please, please, please, please, please."
You must be kidding. Must be kidding.
Stop being complicated.
Just fall in line and believe what we tell you, tell you, tell you!

(4) So you think there are answers for everything.
I hate to say it but it is not that simple.
Oh, sadly, there is no logic sadly.
You'll never know, you'll never think for yourself.

(Oooh why, Oooh what)

(5) Tell me why you matter.
What's your purpose here?
Tell me why you matter.
What are the things you hold most dear?

What's your meaning in life?

Hotel California Parody - Skyline Chili Restaurant

I was trying to fall asleep one night, and I was thinking about other parodies I could write. Apparently this is what I used to think about all the time to go to sleep. But anyway, I was thinking about how kind of long Hotel California is, and how the Eagles are pretty popular, and how Hotel California is one of their most popular songs (and my favorite of them). I can honestly say that I don't remember where Skyline came into my thoughts. Maybe it was because I hadn't had it in so long. I love Skyline. Whatever happened, it randomly came to me and Skyline Chili Restaurant just fit perfectly.

Everything was spontaneous except for the last verse. After I made the last verse and sang it to Amanda, she said that I could use it for a Skyline commercial. The last verse would not make a good commercial, so I made up a separate last verse.........there are two "last" verses. The reason I kept my original is because at the end of Hotel California, it's kind of a scary ending. "You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave." I wanted my parody to reflect the scariness, but in a more funny way. Kind of like "I have to work here?! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Please let me know which one you like better. Not for a commercial or anything, just for the song.

Skyline Chili Restaurant

In a crowded Skyline, where everyone shares
Warm smell of the chili rising up through the air.
The kitchen's out in the open, I can see everything
My tongue got wet and when I sat down,
my stomach started rumbling.

I look at the customers; everyone's satisfied
I will appease my appetite; I will not be denied.
Then a waitress came over, and handed me a menu
Then she took out a pad and pen and said
"How may I help you?"

Welcome to the Skyline Chili Restaurant
Such a lovely place
(Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely taste.
Ready some food at the Skyline Chili Restaurant
Any time of day
(Any time of day)
As long as you pay.

They got napkins and crackers, and they got hot sauce too
I look at the menu; it's backround colored in blue.
With so many options, how will I find my bliss
There are so many choices with tasty images.

So I said to the waitress "Please give me more time"
I wanted to be sure I got the full worth of my dime.
She left and then she came back a little later
Pointed at me with her pen and said "
Are you ready now, sir?"

Welcome to the Skyline Chili Restaurant
Such a lovely place
(Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely taste.
Order some food from the Skyline Chili Restaurant
The taste is so divine.
(It is so divine)
It will blow your mind.

I ordered a large three-way, with habanero cheese
At no extra charge make my-way a sky-way, please.
When she brought me my food, it looked so yummy

Version 1
When I reached for my wallet, I realized I had no money.

Last thing I remember, I was crawling on the floor
I had to get by undetected and right out through the door.
"Don't move" said the waitress, "You're not going anywhere"
"You will have to pay off your meal by working here."

Version 2
And it felt so good sliding down my throat and into my tummy.

Last thing I remember, I was walking out the door
I had searched for this special feeling so many times before.
Tell me why must they close; Oh, why can't they see

The food was so extraordinary, I don't want to ever leave.
