Subject: Rejected because....

Written By: Melhi on 11/05/03 at 08:29 a.m.

I don't know if anyone is interested in a silly thread like this, but Chucky mentioned he was surprised there'd been no parody games on the lyrics board, so I thought I'd try to start one.  

This song parody game is called "Rejected Because..."

Here's how it works:  
You give a sample of a rejected parody idea (a title or a line or two,) and then deliver the punchline by telling why it was rejected.   I'll start:

Last Strain to Fartsville
(to The Monkees "Last Train to Clarksville")

Rejected because:   Elvis's death has been exploited enough, already.

OK....

"Be Our Guest"
to the tune of the same name from Beauty and the Beast, but set in a brothel.  Can't think why that should be rejected, but...

"There's No Diddley Like Bo Diddley" (to "There's No Business Like Show Business" by Ethel Merman)

Rejected because:   Misinformative.  There are actually lots of little Diddleys running around, just like Bo.



"Crazy Madonna" (to "Lady Madonna" by the Beatles)

Offensive part:  "Crazy Madonna, drops 'em on their heads/ How does Michael Jackson juggle all those kids?"

Rejected because:  No reason.  Just the image of Michael juggling his kids cracks me up.


"Mrs. Brown's Retaining Lots Of Water" (to "Mrs. Brown, You've Got A Lovely Daughter" by Herman's Hermits)

Rejected because:  Alienates people named "Brown"; alienates people with bloating problems.  

I'm sure there's more; this is fun

Ok, the first one I posted was a "rejected by me because."  Well, here's one sure to be rejected by Chucky...

"P-p-p-penney for your thoughts!"  
("B-b-b-Benny and the Jets" from song of same name by Elton John)

Rejected because...  the submitting author's name was Getpaidtotakesurveys.com  


And then, of course, there's

"My, My! Kids are cute when they're high"
(To the first line of Don McClean's American Pie)

Rejected because... well, to be honest, because it hurts when people throw rocks at me.

"Ode to Amiright Artists" of Ode to Joy
Reason: called Pippin a he, and then a she, which opened a 2nd dimension in which Chucky's computer could do nothing but not accept parodies.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

hmmm...ok

So Im banging Wh*res to the tune of "When Im 64" ...rejected because it talks about an old man who is no longer satisfied by his wife so he tells her that hes having sex with other women (presumably prostititutes)...plus, there is a line about sucking on a .er..well, sex toy :P

how bout "Youve got to hide your porn away (Porno parody #2) " to the tune of "Youve got to hide your love away".....rejected because it describes the act of masturbation

and finally "Another dick in the girl" To the tune of "Another brick in the wall Part II".....rejected...well, the title says it...

btw, catch all three of these at whatfreaks while it lasts!!!!  



oh, and there are a few more that will be rejected when I finish them lol

...to "Can you feel the love tonight?" from the Lion King?  That might work, actually...

Or the Chatanooga Chew-Chew parody, rejected because  "Mastication" was mis-spelt, or simply misunderstood

Or maybe you just couldn't hack it...(ahem)...well, anyway...

I get it now...songs WE reject OURSELVES for some reason--you mean we shouldn't sit here and second-guess every decision Chuck makes like a bunch of spoiled brats?  Dang, that's no fun...

There's just so many, and all for the same reason:  Couldn't make it funny enough.  There's:

"Moe  Beer Me" (to "Do Re Mi") from Sound of Music:

Moe/ A beer / A cream ale beer / Tay-/ -stee drops of golden Duff (downhill from there)

(to "Wanted Dead Or Alive" by Bon Jovi):

"I'm a towel-boy/ In the fieldhouse am I/  and I wanna (waaaanna)/ help keep you dry"  (downhill from there)

"I Bit A Clown" (to "I Get Around" by the Beach Boys) (clownkill from there)


Some of 'em might be pretty good ideas; I just hit dead ends.  I'm sure nobody here has had that experience ::)
Anyway, if any of these happen to spark thoughts or ideas that might be helpful, be sure and let me know (or just take the cursed idea and do with it what you will; I'd be grateful)

Not so long ago, I printed out the lyrics to Metallica´s "Seek and Destroy" with the idea of doing a "(RIAA will) Seek and Destroy" version, but decided against it, because frankly there´s no need to change a single word in the original. :-) :

"We are scanning the scene
In the city tonight
We are looking for you
To start up a fight
There is an evil feeling
In our brains
But it is nothing new
You know it drives us insane

Running,
On our way
Hiding,
You will pay
Dying,
One thousand deaths
Running,
On our way
Hiding,
You will pay
Dying,
One thousand deaths
Searching,
Seek and destroy
Searching,
Seek and destroy
Searching,
Seek and destroy
Searching,
Seek and destroy

There is no escape
And that is for sure
This is the end we won’t take any more
Say goodbye
To the world you live in
You have always been taking
But now you’re giving

Running,
On our way
Hiding,
You will pay
Dying,
One thousand deaths
Running,
On our way
Hiding,
You will pay
Dying,
One thousand deaths
Searching,
Seek and destroy
Searching,
Seek and destroy
Searching,
Seek and destroy
Searching,
Seek and destroy

Our brains are on fire
With the feeling to kill
And it will not go away
Until our dreams are fulfilled
There is only one thing
On our minds
Don’t try running away
`cause you’re the one we will find

Running,
On our way
Hiding,
You will pay
Dying,
One thousand deaths
Running,
On our way
Hiding,
You will pay
Dying,
One thousand deaths
Searching,
Seek and destroy
Searching,
Seek and destroy
Searching,
Seek and destroy
Searching,
Seek and destroy"

Why do I think that Claude's bad ideas are better than most of our good ideas?

Anyway...

"Mrs. Brown Got Zapped by Harry Potter"
rejected because Harry Potter is under the legal zapping age

"Rudolph the Dead Head Reindeer"
rejected by PETA as unethical treatment of a reindeer

Listening to Slade earlier made me think of one parody title about a nunnery catwalk which probably should never get written: "Frocks on the Nun"

"My sweet porn" to "My sweet lord" by George Harrison because, well, besides lack of lyrics, it seemed kinda sac-religious...I believe the lyrics went like this: "my sweet porn, oh my porn....I really wanna do that girl, I really wanna bang that girl, but it seems so wrong, oh my porn"....didnt like the outcome...

"Jock itch is back" to the tune of "the b**ch is back" by Elton John, pretty self explanitory again...

"I've filled my nappy" to Rolf Harris's "I've lost my mummy" because it got too gross.
