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.

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.
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

Across the Universe Parody - Across the Galaxy
I wrote this parody a few minutes after I finished my "I'll Buy It" parody at 4 in the morning. (My postings are a little out of order, but I’m back on track now). After I'll buy it, I was thinking about other parodies I could do from songs that I have. Across the Universe is one of the first songs in my Mp3 player (alphabetical order) and it was the first song to come to mind. I thought that it would be simple since the song itself makes no sense, so why should mine? But I argued with myself that it didn't have to be gibberish and nonsense. After that, the words just came out. Why Galaxy? It's the first thing that always came to my mind after universe. And I think it's kind of a cool word.
I thought about every part of the song a little bit except the replacements for "Jai Guru Diva" in the original version, and all of my "astro" words part. My father always said this about the Beatles: “It’s basically just them throwing a bunch of words together and seeing if it sounds good.” Across the Universe is a prime example of that truth. So that’s where the first verse came from.
My second verse may sound crazy, but it is true. I find it interesting and maybe you will too. I suggest you check it out. http://homepages.tesco.net/harbfamily/opd/index.html
Original: Across the Universe by The Beatles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCKANiM9tUM&feature=related
Across the Galaxy
Words are thrown together in a lot of the Beatles' songs,
And music is added to it and played across the galaxy
Most of their songs did not make sense, but they were popular
So people always bought their songs.
Random words and music sung
The Beatles did change the world,
In some way they changed the world.
If they did change the world
It was the music world.
There is a rumor going around that Paul is really dead,
And there are people who do believe this across galaxy
They say there are clues hidden in a lot of their album covers,
But it is mostly just a money scheme.
Across the galaxy
Crazy conspiracy. Dumb
Someone's trying to change their world,
Mixing up the Beatles' world.
If Paul really left the world,
Then who's his double in this world?
I'll take out a page of the Beatles' book
And say random words and act like they flow together.
Astroturf and astroplane and astronaut and astronut
All sound like things that could go all the way
Across the galaxy.
Green tea is healthy. Yum.
Maybe I could change the world,
If I tried to change the world.
Someone's got to change my world,
If they want to change my world.
Green tea is healthy.
Green tea is healthy.
Green tea is healthy.

Party in the U.S.A. Parody - Slutty in the U.S.A.
For anyone who loves Miley Cyrus and wishes ill to all those who degrade her in any way, do not read this parody.
The whole thing started off when I saw the music video of Party in the USA and Miley Cyrus was wearing tight fitting clothes and really short shorts. And after I read the article and saw the picture of her live performance with her wearing next to nothing and dancing on a pole, I began to start saying "Slutty" in the USA. The chorus, first verse, and bridge were more spontaneous than thinking. The second verse was completely thought of.
This started out to be something funny, and it still kind of is, but it evolved. It evolved into me making a political standpoint about how sad and disgusted I am that a then 16 year old girl would expose herself and sell her body in such ways. Let me emphasize this: I AM NOT A PERVERT! I am simply stating my views on what Miley Cyrus has become. I think it's sad that in order to succeed in this country, you need to sell yourself and have a perfect body that everyone needs to look to.
But that is not what this universe is about. My universe is about my parodies; not political standpoints or a battleground. I hope you enjoy this one. This is what Miley should have been saying. It fits in perfectly to what she is doing.
