Subject: Another parody help request
Written By: ISNorden on 10/17/04 at 4:01 pm
I've been playing with the idea of reworking Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" as "Addicted to Hugs" (yes, some people have said that about me). So far I only have a few fragmented rhymes...
"Know what goes on--when you're at home/your arms--are not your own..."
"Camped out by--the TV set.../Those Teletubbies--have they hugged yet?"
"You blew the rent--at Motel 6/to snuggle up--and get your fix.../They called the cops--when you took home/a couple pillows--to call your own..."
Any more suggestions for lyrics in the same vein? (Keep 'em G-rated and outrageously cuddly, please!) I admit the Teletubby line is badly paced, but how else would I describe a grown woman with no kids watching the show just to see them hug?

Whoa - you like to think that grabbing cushions will help - oh yeah
You cuddle tabbies, persians, german shepherds and pugs
You know you're gonna have to face it
You're addicted to hugs
*****************************************************
Whoa - you like to think some New Age music would help - oh yeah
You're tactile, sensate, kinesthetic, touch is your drug
You know you're gonna have to face it
You're addicted to hugs

Now, that is *good*, JD :)
And the lines before:
Whoa - you like to think that grabbing cushions will help - oh yeah
You cuddle tabbies, persians, german shepherds and pugs
You know you're gonna have to face it
You're addicted to hugs
could be:
You found a lynx - a wild cat
You even tried to cuddle that
There isn't any puss or hound
You haven't had your arms around
...I've done this song once or twice, too ;)

Howsabout "Dipsy and Po- have they hugged yet?", which scans better...
