Subject: ONE WEEK NOTICE "Keepin' Halloween Alive" (for October 27th publishing date)
Written By: Matthias on 10/19/17 at 9:16 am
Greetings Parody Authors, welcome to the One Week Notice Challenge. (or OWN--not the Oprah Winfrey Network! :o)
The purpose of the challenge is that one song is posted in the One Week Notice thread on Friday, and you are to create a parody of it by next Friday's publishing date (barring acts of God/Chucky G). This challenge is not a contest judging for quality. No points are awarded, constructive criticism is encouraged but there is no requirement to read each parody and/or leave comments. This is done in the spirit of flexing our parody writing "muscles" and to grow a spirit of camaraderie within the Amiright community.
The song chosen ideally should be one that has NOT been already parodied on Amiright, and should also be of reasonable difficulty and length. The host of the parody must provide a link to the OS (original song) lyrics and a link to a YouTube performance video--even better, posting the lyrics in the dedicated thread. Please also include the year the song was first released to allow for the submission form.
The next One Week Notice song for publish date of 10/27/17 is.....
"Keepin Halloween Alive" (2009)
Artist -- Alice Cooper

I'll keep my Jack-O-Lantern light on for everyone tonight
Well I'm coming for you this Halloween
It's my favorite time of year, and I'm stealing the scene
I terrify the kiddies when I'm walking down the street
I got snakes in my hair, I got spiders on my feet
I keep it going, I keep it going
I'm keeping Halloween alive, honey 3-6-5
I keep it going, I keep it going
When the sun goes down I'll be creeping through your town
Trick or trick or treat, gimme something to eat
She put razors in my apples, and they tasted so sweet
I won't wear a mask when I answer the door
I ain't got no reflection, or a shadow no more
I keep it going, I keep it going
I'm keeping Halloween alive, honey 3-6-5
I keep it goin, I keep it going
When the sun goes down, I'll be creeping through your town
You can run, you can hide, but you invited me inside
Now I'm here and it's clear, I'll be feeding on your fear
You'll be you squirming on the floor, that what Halloween is for
I just cant stop, I'll never stop...no...no...
I just cant stop, I'll never stop...I WANT YOU!!!
I keep it going, I keep it going
I'm keeping Halloween alive, honey 3-6-5
I keep it going, I keep it going
I'm keeping Halloween alive, baby 3-6-5
I keep it going, I keep it going
I've kept Halloween alive since 1965
I keep it going, I keep it going
I'll keep my Jack-o-lantern light on for everyone tonight!

Oh, you meant it literally about the OS when you wrote Halloween-themed song! :)
Timely and fun, I'm sure I'll be able to come up with something during writing. Here's an internationally working link for YouTube in the mean time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7WJaCDv2ww
(And by internationally I mean in Sweden, what's up with YouTube these days?)

I had a few ideas for a Halloween song to use but this one won me over.
I had Grim Grinning Ghosts, Spooky Scary Skeletons, Horny in a Hearse by Nekromantix and Pet Sematary by The Ramones on the back burner as other possibilities which I may use in the future if we make to next Halloween.
Now I need to come up with an idea for this one and pick out a few for Christmas tunes for the next few months

Keepin' Amiright Alive! :)
Headin' To The Alien Hive (Aliens/Ripley Tribute)
Stuck here in the Borg Hive Mind (Star Trek)
Keep The Flower "Pot" Alive (Willie Nelson Tribute)
But I'm off to work now, might come up with more tomorrow!

I came up with a fifth idea that I'm now working on, so all four of those above are totally unused, just saying.

I'll make an attempt at varying my choruses a bit more before the week is done - but success with that or not I now have a parody to submit this time too. :)
