Your Alternate Lyrics to Songs
« on: December 02, 2017, 06:08:57 AM »
Back when we were kids, my buddy and I would make up alternate lyrics to popular songs to amuse ourselves. Think quasi-Weird Al but with a slightly more twisted (inappropriate) bend to it. Stan (my buddy) was much better at it than I was and he called the practice “perverting a song.” And it wasn’t just songs we didn’t like or heard too much, nothing was sacred. I’ve long suspected that more people do this, so I’m soliciting DTF for your favorite alternative lyrics.

WARNING: Once you hear them, it may be all you hear in the future, so, if you have a favorite song you don’t want ruined for ever after, you may not want to read this thread.

Example:  Phil and I were going to dinner one night and while he was driving Bachman Turner Overdrive’s - You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet came over the radio. Phil said, “I love this song” and turned up the radio and we both were singing along. When I sang, “…and then she looked at me with those big brown eyes and said; I ain’t felt nothing yet; b-b-baby is that as big as it’ll get; here’s something…there’s something…no, not quite yet; b-b-baby I just ain’t felt nothing yet; you ain’t very big around…” [cue: soaring guitar melody], Phil looked at me with horror in his eyes, groaned, laughed and then lamented, “I’ll never be able to not hear that!”. I asked him about it twenty years later and he said he still can’t listen to that song.

Now, U.

Whenever Brown-Eyed Girl plays at work, I hum the main line as "Brown-Eyed Squirrel."

The Beatles' Let It Be, for me, always becomes, "Let her pee" (although I play it off to some like I am saying, "The letter 'p'" so I can turn it around and say they have a sick mind for thinking I am saying "let her pee." :lol).

A buddy and I have done countless Judas Priest parodies over the years based on Rob Halford's sexual preference (all of which are in a good fun, not meant to be mean-spirited in any way), but I am pretty sure many of them would not be forum-friendly. :lol :lol

Co-worker of mine always yells out alternate lyrics at work when some songs come on. Instead of 'glycerine' (the Bush song) he says 'Listerine' and the Nirvana song All Apologies he says 'Larry' in the chorus instead of 'married' :P

And of course the old classic 'there's a bathroom on the right'...

I always remembered a movie (I think it was Arthur), and the lyrics to "My Girl" were replaced with "Myself".

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
When it's cold outside I've got the month of May
Well I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
Myself (myself, myself)
Talkin' 'bout myself (myself)

And. So. On.
That's a word salad - and take it from me, I know word salad
I fear for the day when something happens on the right that is SO nuts that even Stadler says "That's crazy".

Then there is the obvious:

Pull my finger, pull my finger
Pull my finger, don't be afraid
All that I've had is tuna and wings
Pull it and let my rectum siiiiiing

Oh man, writing parodies was one of my favorite hobbies back in high school and college. One of my best friends and I would write them (mostly to Rush or DT songs) and share them with each other, laughing hysterically. I think I still have them somewhere, might have to dig them up.

Revisiting this idea, someone *has* to parodize “Lump” by the Presidents of the USA and call it “Trump”. Yes, Weird Al already has “Gump”,  but there’s so many opportunities to lampoon things!

Speaking of The Beatles, one of my favorites is sung to the tune of Yesterday.

There's big pieces falling off of me
O, I believe it's Leprocy

Now I know
It's leprocy-eee-eee-eee

I see I'm not the only one to do this.

I remember years ago I did a few to the tune of Eric Clapton's Cocaine. Propane, Rogaine, and Ass Pain come to mind.

I bought these two books a while back:

https://smile.amazon.com/Hes-Got-Whole-World-Pants/dp/0684825090/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1512413785&sr=8-1&keywords=he%27s+got+the+whole+world+in+his+pants

https://smile.amazon.com/Scuse-While-Kiss-This-Guy/dp/0671501283/ref=pd_sbs_14_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=0671501283&pd_rd_r=Y6VTYHKM3F4K81VPQFXF&pd_rd_w=ukCFA&pd_rd_wg=gbE5L&psc=1&refRID=Y6VTYHKM3F4K81VPQFXF

Some absolutely hilarious stuff in both of them.  I can't remember most of it, but the one that really got me was Every Breath You Take by the Police.  There's a line where Sting sings, "How my poor heart breaks," and I always thought he was singing something about being a "pool hall ace."  I didn't really like the song, so I never gave it much thought and assumed it made sense in the context of the rest of the song.  I was genuinely surprised when I learned what he was really singing.

In a different vein, my best friend and I used to work at a Baskin-Robbins in a local mall, and we made up fake lyrics for the heavy section of "Cygnus (Bringer of Balance)" section of Rush's Hemispheres.  We were poking fun at the guy who owned the store, who is a bit overweight.  Part of it went like this:  "[My name] was astonished; [my friend's name] thought him mad; but we saw his belly further and we wondered and were sad.  Looking out at the mall; it's a world of doubt and fear; his belly extending into the Southern Hemisphere."
"There's a bass solo in a song called Metropolis where I do a bass solo."  John Myung

The restroom door said gentlemen
So I just walked inside
I'd like to find the creep who had the nerve
To switch the sign
Now I've got two black eyes
And a high heel up my behind
No, I'll never sit with comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
No, I'll never sit with comfort and joy

One I heard in high school from a fellow choir mate (that still cracks me up)--

Her name is Rio
And she dances on my face
