Yes, I challenge ANY Amiright parody writer to take a stab at parodying Bob Dylan's Desolation Row.  I'll be the judge of this little contest.

Maybe if someone sends me an mp3 and some lyrics ;D  Hehehe...I take it it's a tough song :)

http://bobdylan.com/songs/desolation.html

looks pretty tough... long at least

659 words... i've done longer but not often

Sounds like an interesting challenge ... is there a deadline?

I have now heard the song, and have a bit of an idea... but I don't have any idea whether it'll turn out to work.

Holy Cow. That bugger is over 10 minutes long. Do we win anything? Do we get odds? (After all, you do live in Vegas?)

Write a parody of "Desolation Row" ?

By May Day?

Heh heh heh... sure, why not?  

Heh heh heh...

;)

I'll do it. -- MM

They're telling me to parody
Something I don't wanna do
At this moment in time
The people are telling me
To Parody and I can't help it
They got me in a trance
I gonna parody until they tell me
To stop - to stop
Let me stop parodying
I am tired already from my parody
As I just wandered from the board
To parody Desolation Row

I mean, this parody
It takes one to know how to do it
And when you dont wanna parody
You stop - you stop
And in comes Hairspray and Chucky G
"You gotta tell her to stop the parody
She's going into overdrive
She's going to have to stop the parody"
And the only sound that's left
After the moderators go
Is Ripp tapping on her keyboard
The parody to Desolation Row

I think the parody is just starting
Ripp is finding her arms very heavy
The parodying lady
Is still tapping away at this song
She stays up til dawn
And Hairspray
With Chucky G
Say "Stop the parody
We gotta get this woman to
Stop typing down a parody
This parody is just going on and on"
The parody to Desolation Row

Now Ripp is typing her quickest now
For her I feel so afraid
The sentences she types
This goes on forever - never ending - no aid

To her, this parody is a sinch
It will all end soon
She has a way
Of keeping sane and not falling like a loon
And when she notices that
hairspray and chucky g
tell her to stop, she carries on her parody
Of Desolation Row

The parody seems long and slow
She manages through
Typing this damn parody having started ages ago
She is still new as new
She types her parody
Bold as bold
Then stops a minute
To drink orange juice
Then she carries on her parody
Her parodies are quite short
But this one
Parodies Desolation Row

Oh she's strong
She is sane
She can get through this parody
Get this parody done she thinks
It's not too long
She's in charge of her parody
But she cant be in charge of length
"Give her help" says Hairspray
"Make her stop" yells Chucky G
"She's in overdrive"
If you tried to do this parody
You'd be insane from the length
Of Desolation Row

You hear her wailing
to stop the parody
but she knows she must go on
A perfect lookalike of her parody
She's becoming insane
With the pressure
She'll kill herself soon
After killing those annoying her

And she yells and kicks and screams
"JUST SHUT UP IF YOU DONT WANNA KNOW ME
THIS PARODY IS GOING ON FOREVER i CANT TAKE IT
IN DESOLATION ROW"

Now she commits suicide
Standing on the edge of the empire state building
In the cool midnight air
She'll never know the proper parody
But parodys are still fun to do
Parody this parody that
She'll parody until she dies
This parody goes on
She'll parody all the way
To Desolation Row

Parody all the way
Ripp is gonna go and parody
Everybody parodies
But Ripp starts to yell
"PARODIES ARE MINE! I MAY BE INSANE
BUT I OWN THE PARODIES
PARODIES ARE MINE! I OWN THEM!"
You see that parody
And the parody over there on the windowsill
They never were read they had too much boredom
They were too long
For Desolation Row

This parody is nearly ended
(And just about time)
This may be too long as well
It'll be read though, I very well know that
All these parodies, yes, many shall read
Yes, I know these parodies, I made a few myself
Many shall be made too by others
But when you come to do them, dont do one as long as this
This one is so long
Dont do one as long as
I say dont do one as long as
The parody about Desolation Row


I FINALLY FINISHED, YEAH! IT TOOK ME 5 HOURS TO DO THIS DAMN PARODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I put it up on an actual parody, find it as the parody 'Parody Now'
