Welcome to the Friday July 6 to Friday July 13th (publishing date) round of the One Week Notice challenge. My name is Agrimorfee, 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 challenge--

"Matilda Mother"--Pink Floyd.
1967
This is from their first album, during the psychedelic Syd Barrett-era. A somewhat random selection on my part, but I think this one will be fun for its rhyming possibilities, relatively brief verse/chorus/verse structure and a weird middle 8 with vocal sounds that can open the door for some creativity if desired.

There was a king who ruled the land
His majesty was in command
With silver eyes the scarlet eagle
Showers silver on the people
Oh mother, tell me more

Why'd'ya have to leave me there
Hanging in my infant air
Waiting?
You only have to read the lines
They're scribbly black and everything (shines)

Across the stream with wooden shoes
With bells to tell the king the news
A thousand misty riders climb up
Higher once upon a time
Wandering and dreaming
The words have different meaning
Yes they did

For all the time spent in that room
The doll's house, darkness, old perfume
And fairy stories held me high on
Clouds of sunlight floating by
Oh mother, tell me more
Tell me more

Finished my parody. I think the hardest part is coming up with a good sub for "Oh, Mother" which I did with "Bonecrusher" about the worst Professional Wrestler of all time!

Finished mine too, it'll be good enough, though unless I come up with a better idea over the next coupla days I've had to resort to an "emergency" idea/subject/theme I've saved for like thirty weeks, i.e when no other idea would come. Not telling what yet, you'll see.

Is it having sex with sheep? Lol

Is it having sex with sheep? Lol


Naaaah, not this time, and there's no "you" in the title of TOS.
Though for the future I do sit on a new sheep angle on that topic:

"WWE Superstar: Bonecrusher" will be up tomorrow!!

Okay, I'm in.
