Subject: Judy Garland and Paris Hilton Parody

Written By: cougardawg5 on 07/28/04 at 2:02 am

Hi guys...in need of your expert suggestions.  I'm at a theater summer camp and me and a few friends are doing a skit about Judy Garland meeting up with the Simple Life girls in OZ. (Paris and Nicole get lost!) They don't like each other.

I was thinking about them singing "Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better" (from "Annie Get Your Gun").  Any suggestions?

You experts rock!!

;D

Not sure what your thoughts are with respect to this song. 
What made you come up with that particular idea?
Maybe I just don't know enough about the Simple Life girls.

I have to agree with Leo on the song choice...although...if you have your reasons...you have your reasons, huh?

I cannot claim this to be my greatest work...as it's 3 seconds worth of thinking...but here's a couple of lines from Judy's POV...

"You just look trampy in that low cut sweater
Never met one who's as trampy as you"

You mean something like this (not that I know anything about the Simple Life girls, either):

JG - Any guy you can screw I can screw better
PH - I can screw any guy better than you
JG - No you can't
PH - Yes I can
JG - No you can't
PH - Yes I can
JG - No you can't
PH - Yes I can, yes I can... (turns to audience) and I've got the video to prove it

PH - I can go shopping and spend more than you can
JG - I can go shopping and spend more than you
PH - No you can't
JG - Yes I can
etc.

JG - I can sing any song better than you can
PH - ...ok, I'll give you that one

I'm sad to say that my wife is an avid fan of the Simple Life, so I know exactly where this is coming from.  Have to admit...the Simple Life Girls ending up in Oz is a brilliant idea!  Good luck with the skit...I imagine it could be very funny!  Wish I'd thought of that  ;D

As for songs, possibly a parody of something from the Wizard of Oz?  (Follow the Yellow Brick Road, Somewhere Over The Rainbow, Ding dong, the witch is dead).  I'll try to think of actual titles for the parody songs and get back to you =)

Paris and Nicole singing "If We Only Had A Brain" would work too  :)

Thanks you guys!   You're the best!

The song parody by Philbo is great and that's the direction we're going in!

Just to clarify:  Our main character takes a wrong turn and ends up in OZ.  That's where he meets Dorothy and asks for directions.  Suddenly, the Simple Life girls (Paris and Nicole) show up.  As you might know, they're both rich, spoiled and very bitchy.  They took a wrong turn also (they were just crawdad fishing in the bayous...yes...they did it in a episode!!).

When the two worlds meet (Judy:  prim, propper, overly nice...as opposed to the Simple Life girls)..that's when the song comes into play.

It also doesn't have to be "Anything You Can Do...".  If you have another song suggestions (even a pop one where we can change the lyrics), that's great!

I was thininking "The Bitch Is Back" by Elton John.  We can use the word "bitch" at my camp (progressive!!) but not sure how to make in into a "duet" kinda song.  Or if you know of any other girls competing kinda song, I'd love to know!

Thanks again!    :o

Yeah...well, then I guess that answers my question as to whether the "cougar" in your name refers to BYU...

negative...

Hmm.... when you write it, just be clear whether it's 'Judy' they're meeting or 'Dorothy'.  Have fun!

Hi all:  Thanks for the suggestions!

I've taken a cue from jreuben and tried an "If I Only Had A Brain" parody.  How is this:

Paris:  We could while away the hours, attending J-Lo showers...

Nicole:  Or flying off to Spain!

Paris:  But at thinking we are newbies...

Nicole:  people like us for our boobies...

Both:  If we only had a brain!


I value you opinions and suggestions!  You guys are so creative!  if you have any other lyric suggestions, that would be cool!  Thanks!

You're doing great with the "Brain" idea...taking it and running with it!  Glad I could help  :)

Favorite part  (so far)
