Hey hey, to all who have waited patiently, here's what you're looking at for contest #4. As usual, please submit the song right in this thread, and of course, on the site as well if you wish. I'm going to make this a bit easier for the people who have trouble and dont know songs by the given artist. Well, here ya go:

Topic: Summarize the plot of any popular movie, but realllllly try your hardest to keep lots of rhymes (or words) the same as the original songs, or sounding the same. In other words, we want the parody to sound as much as the original song as possible, but have a completely different meaning, in this case the plot of a movie. The reason for this? Well, for one I always find parodies to be the funniest when they still sound similar, because then you can sing it along to the original song.

Song: Pick any song within your judgement, like a ballad (for your own advantage, take a song that already has a plot), but its really open. Please try to use a popular rock/alternative song, just so people and judges can associate it with the original and be able to appreciate it more.

Well, good luck. I'm gonna try this one too.

Jon

ahem...http://www.amiright.com/parody/2000s/redhotchilipeppers8.shtml

i've got one that fits the contest well too but i don't think using previously submitted songs is legal for these contests

Use em if ya got em. I think personally it would be more fun to make up a new one though, or at least change one you already made.

unfortunately, i'd need a little while on it, i haven't seen a movie since MIB II, about a month ago so i'm dry on new movies. how many are we alotted? i have about 5 on this board alone lol

Dude thats kinda funny... I just wrote a song about MIB2. I could barely remember it and I wasnt really happy with it, it was to the tune of Under the Bridge.

i did one a few months back to Beastie Boys Sabotage. it was request by on of my teachers, he likes Sabotage and i did MIB II for him. But on here i have Spider Bite, Marty McFly, Return of The Mummy, Slasher Shows (which sums up every slasher movie out there lol), Time Travelin', Movies, Jay And Bob.

here is one:
the movie is "The saint Valentines day massacre
Origional song:The night Chicago died-Paper Lace
Parody title: The Saint Valentines day massacre

here are some comments: this story is entirely real! Everything in it actually happoned detail to detail.

They paid off the cops
on the South side of Chicago
Back in the USA back in the bad old days

In the cold of a winter's night
in the land of the dollar bill
when the men of chicago died
and they talk about it still
When a man named Al Capone
tried to make that town his own
and he called his gang to war
as the forces of the law

I heard that mobsters died
I heard they were killed when the men of Chicago died, brother what a night it really was, brother what a fight it really was, Glory Be!
I heard that mobsters died
I heard they were killed when the men of Chicago died, wonder what made all the people ran,
wonder why they tried to take Bugs Moran, Yes Indeed!

and the sound of the battle rang, through the streets by the old North side, till the last of the hoodlum gang,
had been gunned down with pride, there was shouting in the store, and the sound of a barking dog, and I asked someone who said, bout a dozen cops are dead,

I heard that mobsters died
I heard they were killed when the men of Chicago died, brother what a night it really was, brother what a fight it really was, Glory Be!
I heard that mobsters died
I heard they were killed when the men of Chicago died, wonder what made all the people ran,
wonder why they tried to take Bugs Moran, Yes Indeed!

then there was no sound at all,  but the stakeout accross the hall, and the door opened wide, two cops with guns held at their side, and the mob got in their place, and they blew the men away

The night the mobsters died
na na na na na na na na na na na the men of Chicago died, brother what a night it really was, brother what a fight it really was, Glory Be!

The night the mobsters died
na na na na na na na na na na na the men of Chicago died, brother what a night it really was, brother what a fight it really was, Glory Be!

The night the mobsters died
na na na na na na na na na na
the men of Chicago died, wonder what made all the people ran,
wonder why they tried to take Bugs Moran, Yes Indeed!

small correction: on the line in teh seccond verse:"About a dozen cops are dead"  should real "about a dozen men are dead"

Movie: Fellowship of the ring
Original Song: Living on a Prayer
Original Band: Bon Jovi

Once upon a time
not so long ago...

Frodo used to live in the shire
Bilbo disappeared
And left him his ring of gold, so cold

Gandalf meets the hobbit one day
searching for the ring, he knows what it says
it's bad, ooh it's bad

He says they have to sneak off to Rivendell
Cos they'll be a whole lot safer
If they get to the elves
A group of hobbits, all so small
and fat! they'll all have a ball

ooh, they're off to Bree
ooh, they take the Ferry
Riders come and attack the ring bearer
ooh, he shouldn't wear it

Elrond tells them head to Mordor
They trek through the mines
And stand at Balin's tomb - He's dead, ooh he's dead

Orcs come and they all run away
The fly to the bridge
Gandalf falters; the balrog must pay; no way!
The party runs off to Lorien
They take a well earned rest among
the pointy eared men
They check the mirror and then they're off
By boat, but the journey gets rough

ooh, they drift in fear
ooh, Boromir has an idea
He'll take the ring and he'll use it for good
ooh, Lost it in the woods
So Frodo sneaks off, Samwise aswell
Then the Urukhai strike and it all goes to Hell
Ooh, the fellowship's gone
ooh, how can they go on
Strider takes his sword, it gives him power
ooh, on to the Two Towers ;D

alright, I was gunna do a parody about the movie "American Pie" to the song "American Pie", but I changed my mind, so instead I did this.  I figure a long movie needs a long song.  
Movie:The Godfather part one
Original song:"American Pie"
original artist: Don Mclean
Parody name: "THe Godfather part one"
Parody artist: Billy Florio

A long long time ago
People went to see this
movie about the mafia
Then a few years after that
The sequel came out in a snap
Then they joined them both into the "saga"
But '91 just made me shiver
Godfather 3 then was delivered
People didn't like it
Some of them just despised it
I cant remember  much of the plot
But I remember much more than not
Cause the DVD's I have got
The day the the saga starts

Oh hey hey, what a horrible day
Bazini and his men killed
Sonny on the causeway
And the old Godfather has been
in bed all day
Saying "Michael you've got to find a way"
"Michael you've got to find a way"

Did you see Godfather one?
Did you make Fredo fumble his gun?
When the Godfather was shot
Do you know Connie and Carlo?
Oh he beat her up, don't you know
So Michael said it's time for him to go
It starts with a wedding that is great
It was on their own Long Beach estate
Oh what a sight to see
Michael's home from the army
He was real lonely in his army days
Oh but now he's got his Irish girlfriend Kay
And Luca Brotzi's here today
The day the saga starts

They started dancing
Oh hey hey, what a horrible day
Bazini and his men killed
Sonny on the causeway
And the old Godfather has been
in bed all day
Saying "Michael you've got to find a way"
"Michael you've got to find a way"

Now for sometime, Mike's been on his own
But Fredo is still living at home
But now Sonny, where could he be?
Now with Johnny's ties, all the big bands lost
Out of contract, he wanted of course
So Tom cut off the head of a horse
Oh and while Climenza was all abrupt
Pauly gave the Godfather up
Shots rang out in the streets
Vito fell to his feet
Oh and while he was better in bed
Rocco shot Pauly in the head
Thank God the Godfather aint dead
The day the Saga starts

But he was dying
Oh hey hey, what a horrible day
Bazini and his men killed
Sonny on the causeway
And the old Godfather has been
in bed all day
Saying "Michael you've got to find a way"
"Michael you've got to find a way"

Now Luca Brotzi sleeps with the fishes
And Momma's meals are of course delicious
But now we must kill the Turk
Now they sent Michael to the store
They hid the gun in the bathroom stall
And Michael shot them till they fell to the floor
Oh now Mike must hide in Sicilly
And Sonny hits Carlo in the street
Mike then saw a girl
Oh and he married her in fall
Connie didn't give Carlo his fill
He beat her up, Sonny's not thrilled
Sonny's mad, and then he got killed
The day the saga starts

He was yelling
Oh hey hey, what a horrible day
Bazini and his men killed
Sonny on the causeway
And the old Godfather has been
in bed all day
Saying "Michael you've got to find a way"
"Michael you've got to find a way"

Oh and now Mike needs to leave that place
Cause now he finds out he's not safe
Him and his wife are gunna go
So now he packs his bags into the car
And his wife, but there is a bomb
It killed his wife, and who did it Mike knows
Oh and as he returned home that day
Just whom did he go see...its Kay
The Godfather is sore
He wants to end the war
As he turns control over to Mike
He tells Mike not to start a fight
Well as long as he's alive, alright
The day the saga starts

Fredo's leaving
Oh hey hey, what a horrible day
Bazini and his men killed
Sonny on the causeway
And the old Godfather has been
in bed all day
Saying "Michael you've got to find a way"
"Michael you've got to find a way"

So Mike sent Fredo to L.V.
So they can take Moe Green's property
He don't want to give it away
The Godfather had sadly died
And at his funeral people cried
But Tessio decided he would betray
The Christening of Connie's son
Would be the day that all work was done
Mike set all of his men free
To kill all the enemies
Now the dead men they would never know
Bazini, Tatallia and Carlo
Also Moe Green and Tesio
The day the saga starts

And they were moving
Oh hey hey, what a horrible day
Bazini and his men killed
Sonny on the causeway
And the old Godfather has been
in bed all day
Saying "Michael you've got to find a way"
"Michael you've got to find a way"

They were killing
Oh hey hey, what a horrible day
Bazini and his men killed
Sonny on the causeway
And the old Godfather has been
in bed all day
Saying "Michael you've got to find a way"

I'm going to try to think of something over the weekend... that wont be too late right?

This is my first entry in DarkJon Parody Contest.  Be gentle.

"Warning" Originally by Incubus
"Harry and Sally" Parody by Bethie Baby

Young college girl, hair so curly
He's obnoxious, they are strangers
What's so wrong with being sappy?
He makes his move on her with quickness, yeah
Over and over and over and over, ooh

To New York they're driving
She knew it would be a crazy ride
He called out a warning
"No friendship for a girl and guy"

They meet again
Three years later
Her new boyfriend
He is engaged
They have concerns
No more estranged
Just in time to
Catch a quick flight down

Life's demanding
They become friends
Watching Jess and Marie's new life begin

They met while driving
She sees him with a different eye
She remembers the warning, warning
"No friendship for a girl and guy"

Sally calls him
They consumate
their relation-
ship. Harry freaks

out and exits.
New Year's comes 'round
they fell in love, friends are all around

They ignored the warning
She knew she had found the perfect guy
And she called out a warning, warning
Don't ever let love pass you by, pass you by

Well, here's my 10 cents ;)

The song's based around a little-known English song called Midnight on the Murder Mile by a band called Carter USM. The film's the one and only Pulp Fiction.


10 Cent Book

It's a story from a 10 cent book
Vega's back from Amsterdam
There's a man named Butch with a mean right hook
And a watch from Vietnam
Plus a Negro man who don't dig on swine
And you'll know his name's the Lord
There's a gangster's moll running out of time
And a big ol' samurai sword
From the cafe to the truck n stop
There's a dozen tales to tell
There's a hasty boxer's getaway
On a chopper bound for hell
As they got medieval on a man named Zed
Butch's LA rights expired
It's a story from a 10 cent book
OK, let's read it!

Fabienne forgot to pack his watch
So he took a short-cut to his home
Vince was waiting on the pot for him
So he blew him to a pulp
As he was driving back with the music up
He got into a gunfight
And as they shoved him in the cellar
He remembered Wallace told him

If you feel a little sting then that's just pride
F*cking you son
You'll thank me when you're kicking back
In the Carribbean sun
You've had your day, and it's time to quit
Before you get much older
Now say it loud so I can hear
5 rounds then it's over

Now Vince's rained on the whole parade
The car's now drenched in blood
I need a friendly place in the valley quickly
Get to Jimmy's!
Long distance information, get Marsellus on the line
I need to chill them n*ggers quickly, got to cover up my crime
I need the cavalry now Marsellus, cos I think I'm about to cry
My whole day got much worse when Marvin's brains went flying by

But now Vince has scored some madman stuff
And taken Mia dancing
They won the cup but Mia's f*cked
And it's time to get to Lance's!
If she should croak on Lance's lawn then Vince'll be a grease spot
Just a med book, a med book, my kingdom for a med book

If the shot that's in the fridge just over there
Don't save her son
Her husband's gonna scour the Earth, so you'd better
Cut and run
So take the shot and line it up
And jab it through her breastbone
You've got to get it in her heart so
Use a stabbing motion!

bump..

Hey, everyone, it was hard to pick a song to represent "The Shawshank Redemption", but I was intent on writing one about my all-time favorite movie.  It is sung in first person, as Andy Dufresne, the main character, singing in retrospect to his deceased wife.  So...


"The End of My Innocence" - Mike Armstrong
"The End of The Innocence" - Don Henley

Remember when we were in love?
Thirty years have passed since then,
I've been stuck in Shawshank jail,
Luckily, I've found some friends.
Happily ever after failed,
When the jury said I shot my wife,
They said I canned her lover too,
Put me in prison for life.

Oh, I'll do my time without complaint,
Helpin' out the warden,
Proud to be Andy Dufresne,
Innocent in Shawshank,
Goin' to the library with Brooks,
Carvin stone into chess piece rooks,
Used to do taxes and insurance, but...
This is the end
This is the end
Of my innocence.

Oh, I'd been there for 20 years,
When Tommy came in '58,
Tattooed arms and slicked back hair,
Told me about his ex-roommate.
Seems that he knew Elmo Blatch,
The man who shot my cheatin' girl,
I finally had my living proof,
But he was shot down in a whirl.

Oh, gettin posters from 'ol Red,
I placed them on my wall,
I dig at night, I dig for life,
While the guards take naps below,
Goin to the library with Brooks,
Carvin stone into chess piece rooks,
Used to do taxes and insurance,
But this is the end
This is the end
Of my innocence.

I waited for the storm that night,
Escaped through yards and yards of muck,
I hurried up, got out of town,
But don't tell me I relied on luck.
Blackmailed Shawshank, fooled everyone,
The warden's gun went to his head,
Mexico was the next stop,
Now it's just me and Red...
Oh, goin' to the library with Brooks,
Carvin stone into chess piece rooks,
Used to do taxes and insurance,
It was the end,
It was the end,
Of my innocence.

Just a quick question, any idea when the results will be posted?

adding this one:

"E.T B*tch"
"Ain't My B*itch*

Comin' from space
Alien race
They're claiming "This planet's mine"

Into New York
London, Bangkok
We're all just running out of time.

Stay strong
What's wrong?
They've already played this game before?
You're right but now it's time to kiss our ass goodbye

Bringing us down
While we're still 'round
We're useless

It ain't our fault
What is your call?
E.T. b*tch!

E.T. b*tch

Out in the sun
Will Smith has come
Draggin' around an alien.

Bring them all down
Hide underground
Damn it all, they attacked again.

The third
We heard
They're heading our way that's for sure.
You're right and now it's time to kiss some ass goodbye
Bringing us down
Into the ground
Nuke's useless

It ain't our fault
What is your call?
E.T. b*tch!

Independence Day!

We ain't some toy
A nuke's deployed
Into your ship, we cannot stay.

Shields are no more
It's July Fouth
It's our Independence Day.

We're strong
What's wrong?
You've never been beaten before?
You're right but now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye
And now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye (The fat lady sings!)

Bringing you down
We're still around
You're useless

It's all your fault
We played our call
E.T b*tch

No way but down
We're still around
No fooling

We all will smile
Can't beat our style
E.T. b*tch.
Oh, it ain't mine

Ain't mine
Your kind
Your running out of time

Ain't mine
Your kind
Your running out of time

Blowing you down
Whole world around
No fooling

It ain't our fault
We beat your call
You E.T oh b*tch
Out of time.

It's already on here, but...

"Men in Black" Originally by Will Smith
"Men in Brown" Parody by Steven Cavanagh
(They do the same job. They have the same attitude. Hell, even half the aliens look the same. )
---

Here come the Men in Brown
Save you from disaster
Here come the Men in Brown
Padawan and Master

Here come the Men in Brown
Save you from disaster
Here come the Men in Brown
Padawan and Master (uh uh, uh uh)

The good guys dress in brown. What's goin' down?
We're the joes in the dark brown robes, and we're in town.
We got the swords of light, Jedi Knight
The real deal with the skills and the insight.
So don't fear,
here we are and then we're gone
Brown robes and the real tall boots on
We got power, dealin' the butt kick,
Guard against enemies of the Republic
But though we ain't no official police
We don't walk the beats,
Just come in and keep the peace
See something bad
Do not try
Just leave it to the men in brown, call the Jedi.
Uh and...

Here come the Men in Brown (here they come)
Save you from disaster (right on, right on)
Here come the Men in Brown (men in brown)
Padawan and Master (uh uh, uh uh)

Now, up in the biggest tower in sight
We're guarding Padme, Artoo givin' the night light
Creepies crawl, my saber gets them all
Hear Padme call and see Kenobi falling
So I leave her, jump in a speeder
Diving faster, catch the master
Then we're on the case in a speeder chase
And we get the pace
on lizard face
I get above her and then I'm dropping
Excuse me!
Get her rockin', gun's poppin' on me
That's the first, last and only time I survive
a skydive like I own the universe.
We go crashin', smashin',
and then I get a tongue lashin', we're catchin'
assassin
Toxic dart comes in and puts her down
(who we work for?)
Men In Brown.

(The Men In Brown)
Right on, Right on
The Men In Brown (The Men In Brown)
Let me se ya just bow with me
Just bow with me
Just bow with me, c'mon
Get a speeder and fly with me
Just fly with me
Come fly with me, c'mon
Let me see ya use the Force with me
Use the Force with me
Use the Force with me, c'mon
Now wave a saber.
Now freeze.

Here come the Men in Brown (here they come)
Save you from disaster (right on, right on)
Here come the Men in Brown (men in brown)
Padawan and Master (uh uh, uh uh)

And Kenobi's
checkin' out this thing with clonin'
Me, well I'm the one that's chosen
And Padme, even if our love's forbidden
Believe me, I can't keep it hidden
Cause we want things that we just can't be
And this is testing out my loyalty
But you'll be my wife,
and if it brings a frown
I still got the brown suit,
and we're the men in
we're the men in

Here come the Men in Brown (here they come)
Save you from disaster (right on, right on)
Here come the Men in Brown (men in brown)
Padawan and Master (uh uh, uh uh)
