Old Parody Songs, vol.2


 Sing along, sucker!
 
------ Clone Of My Own ------ [tune: "Home On The Range"]
Oh, give me a clone Of my own flesh and bone With the Y chromosome changed to X. And when she is grown, My very own clone, We'll be of the opposite sex. ------ Chorus: Clone, clone of my own, With the Y chromosome changed to X. And when we're alone, Since her mind is my own, She'll be thinking of nothing but sex. See also: Home On The Range
------ A Few Of My Favorite Drugs ------ [tune: "My Favorite Things"]
Reefers and roach clips and papers and rollers Cocaine and procaine for twenty year molars Reds and peyote to work out your bugs These are a few of my favorite drugs. Uppers and downers and methedrine freakout Take some amphetamines, watch your brains leak out Acid and mescaline pull out your plugs These are a few of my favorite drugs. Backs that are perfect for carrying monkeys Users of heroin, often called junkies Methadone helps then to stop being thugs Takes them off one of my favorite drugs. On a bad trip When the cops come When I lose my head I simply take more of my favorite drugs And then I'm not sad, I'm dead!
------ (I'm Looking Over) My Dead Dog Rover ------
I'm looking over my dead dog Rover I ran over with the power mower On leg is missing, the second is gone The third leg is is scattered all over the lawn No need explaining, the one remaining Is stuck to my neighbor's door I'm looking over my dead dog Rover I ran over with the power mower -- I'm looking over my minced dog Rover Who I hit with the power mower My dog's not eating, he no longer barks He hit the propellor and turned into sparks No need explaining, there's no dog remaining He's part of the grass, you see I'm looking over my dead dog Rover Who I sent to Eternity
====== SOME XMAS SONGS ====== Sing along, everyone! ====== * *** ***** * ------ The Bill Gates Song ------ [tune: "The Christmas Song"]
Netscape roasting on an open fire, Apple begging on its knees, Photo popping up on Time magazine, Yes, Bill Gates dreams of days like these! Everybody knows he's never fully satisfied, Throws himself behind each task, World dominion is his company's goal. Well, hey, is that so much to ask? He knows the world is in his sway, We'll buy whatever software he might toss our way, We'll surf his Internet, watch his TV, He'll take us anywhere we ask him--for a fee. And so we're offering this simple prayer, To Bill and all his MS grunts: Since we all follow any standard you write, Make it good, please, Make it good, please, Make it good, please, just once!
------ Gil Amelio's Coming to Town! ------ [tune: "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"]
You better watch out, Absurd as it sounds, 'Cause Apple's about To lose a few pounds-- Gil Amelio's coming to town! He's making a list, And trimming the rolls Of projects that missed Their revenue goals-- Gil Amelio's coming to town! He knows what's losing money, Like eWorld, PowerTalk . . . You'd better make your project work Or prepare to take a walk! Though you follow his lead Right out the back door, You know he'll succeed-- He's done it before! Gil Amelio's coming to town!
------ Microsoft ------ [tune: "Jingle Bells"]
Nine-tenths of a gig, Biggest ever seen, God, this program's big-- MS Word 15! Comes on ten CDs, And requires--damn! Word is fine, but jeez-- 60 megs of RAM?! Oh! Microsoft, Microsoft, Bloatware all the way! I've sat here installing Word Since breakfast yesterday! Oh! Microsoft, Microsoft, Moderation, please. Guess you hadn't noticed: Four-gig drives don't grow on trees!
------ I'm Dreaming of a Clean System ------ [tune: "White Christmas"]
I'm dreaming of a clean System, Something that fits on one CD. Each component matches, Not bits and patches, Unlike 7-5-point-3. I'm longing for a dream System, Small, stable, fast, and trouble-free. What we want, I think you'll agree, Is called System 6-point-oh-3!
------ Violent Night ------ [tune: "Silent Night"]
Silent Mac, broken Mac! System bombed, screen went black. Books suggested things; I tried 'em all: Shift key, desktop file, clean reinstall. Now my deadline is tight, This Mac's been silent all night. Violent night, horrible night! Lost my cool, filled with spite, Threw my Mac through the balcony door Watched it fall from the 20th floor, Now I'm sleeping in peace; Thank God I had it on lease.
------ Prove It's So! ------ [tune: "Let It Snow"]
Oh, the papers say Apple's dying, But before we start good-byeing, We should call them all up and go, "Prove it's so! Prove it's so! Prove it's so!" They say "Mac OS software's scarcer." We say, "Read those numbers, there, sir, Sales continued this year to grow. There ya go, there ya go, there ya go!" When they tell us Win 95 Made the Mac's famed advantages ebb, We'll say, "Why, then, do Macs now drive 60 percent of the Web?" We can win our PR reversal-- Make the Mac be universal-- Though we may have some years to go, Make it so, make it so, make it so!
------ Happily Addicted to the Web ------ [tune: "Winter Wonderland"]
Doorbell rings, I'm not list'nin', From my mouth, drool is glist'nin', I'm happy--although My boss let me go-- Happily addicted to the Web. All night long, I sit clicking, Unaware time is ticking, There's beard on my cheek, Same clothes for a week, Happily addicted to the Web. Friends come by; they shake me, Saying, "Yo, man! Don't you know tonight's the senior prom?" With a listless shrug, I mutter, "No, man; I just discovered letterman-dot-com!" I don't phone, don't send faxes, Don't go out, don't pay taxes, Who cares if someday They drag me away? I'm happily addicted to the Web!
