Welcome to the Friday April 06 to Friday April 13th (publishing date) round of the One Week Notice challenge. My name is Matthias, I'll be your host.

The core of One Week Notice is this: We all write parodies of the same original song - and then we post them on the same day! The song chosen ideally should be one that has not been already parodied on Amiright, and should also be of reasonable difficulty and length (Matthias is hosting a separate thread for general discussion about that part, see the messageboard and feel free to join in - or even better - sign up to host a round yourself!)

As things have evolved we're working on a From Friday To Friday basis. The host picks an original song and posts about it in a new messageboard thread on the first friday (or after the Thursday update on Amiright's front page if that's more convenient) and those who want to participate have one week to create a parody of it. All those parodies of the same song are then submitted to go on the next week's Friday's publishing date on Amiright (barring acts of God/Site Mods).

This challenge is not a contest judging for quality. No points are awarded. Constructive criticism is encouraged, but we have no strict rule or requirement for everyone to even read each parody and/or leave comments. Obviously that's an important part of the whole thing, but you won't get bashed if life gets in your way. The whole thing is done in the spirit of flexing our parody writing "muscles" and to grow back the spirit of camaraderie within the Amiright community. The host of a round must provide a link to the original song's lyrics (or post them in his/her host post, like I'm doing here below), a link to a YouTube video of the song (or an equivalent thereof) and information about what year the song was first released (to allow for the submission form on Amiright).

With all that said, here's the brand new One Week Notice for Friday April 06 to Friday April 13th (publishing date).

- Keeping up with the theme of Agrimorfee's and Peter's superhero songs here's another song about superheroes. This one was actually used as the theme song for "Scrubs" by indie pop rock artist Lazlo Bane.

- Song Title = "Superman" (2002)
- Artist = Lazlo Bane

Out the door just in time
Head down the 405
Gotta meet the new boss by 8 am

The phone rings in the car
The wife is working hard
She's running late tonight again

Well
I know what I've been told
You gotta work to feed the soul
But I can't do this all on my own
No, I know I'm no Superman
I'm no Superman

You've got your love online
You think you're doing fine
But you're just plugged into the wall

And that deck of tarot cards
Won't get you very far
There ain't no hand to break your fall

Well
I know what I've been told
You gotta know just when to fold
But I can't do this all on my own
No, I know I'm no Superman
I'm no Superman

That's right

You've crossed the finish line
Won the race but lost your mind
Was it worth it after all

I need you here with me
Cause love is all we need
Just take a hold of the hand that breaks the fall

Well I know what I've been told
Gotta break free to break the mold
But I can't do this all on my own
No I can't do this all on my own
I know that I'm no Superman
I'm no Superman
I'm no Superman

Someday we'll be together
Someday
Someday we'll be together
Someday
I'm no Superman


DUE= April 13th

Super! :-)

Well, I started working on "Soccer Mom" but the goal has shifted to "Saruman" - it's amazing how many lines about wild kids on a field can double as lines about an Uruk-hai/Orc army.  ;D

The SHOCKING TRUTH about the Man of Steel will be revealed in my next parody.... "(Not My) Superman

PS: I just realized that this singer's last name is "BANE" and Superman has actually fought Bane in the past...

Forgot to provide the date for this song. It's 2002.

And I forgot to add the intro to my parody "The Saruman Orc Army Campfire Song":

"Kermit the Frog has absolutely nothing to do with this parody song, but some Orcs are green, and they too know that "it's not easy being green". :D
