Subject: Another parody lyrics quiz - answers posted

Written By: philbo_baggins on 07/23/02 at 03:34 a.m.

These lyrics are all from parodies.  Bonus marks as usual for original song name / artist.  Some of you might find the occasional one to be more familiar than you thought...

The three remaining answers have been written in bold

1. That ain't chicken in your chicken chow mein
  ..actually by Bob Rivers
  Cats In The Kettle FBVP
2. These french-canadians want to leave,
  So let them go be 'Quebekeese'

3. You planned a trip to Idaho
  Just to watch potatoes grow
  "Addicted to Spuds" by Weird Al Yankovic-

4. Weight Watchers running,
  But none of them are looking.

  To see what Martha's cooking.

5. And on the way back I was sick over Jack
  And the rain came down
  Day Trip to Blackpool by Jasper Carrot

6. I can't play squash or go out jogging
  For fear my heart is going to burst
  I think that beds were made for sleeping
  And that's a whole lot bloody worse
  Jesus Christ I'm Nearly 40 by Billy Connolly
 
7. But I weigh 855
  Since I ate that apple pie
  I'm eating some bread
  Hopelessly devoted to food,
  "Hopelessly Devoted to Food" by lebeiw15-- parody of "Hopelessly Devoted to You" by Olivia Newton-John. lebeiw15

8. T'was just a seed, a tiny seed my mate gave to me
  A seed I sowed, then watched grow into a f****g great tree
  Kevin Bloody Wilson - Amazing Grass Taoist

9. He'd had whor es and he'd had ladies
  He'd made love and he'd made babies
  Pick 'em Lick 'em Stick 'em by David Allan Coe
 
10. But then I spend so many hours
   Pumping iron at the gym
   And I grew slim
   And now my butt is tight and trim

FB - yes it is "Cat in the kettle", but it's not Weird Al (even though the MP3 I have here says it is)

Was 5 by the Barron Knights?

#4 sounds like a parody by S.T.G., I'm guessing it's "Fast Food Paradise" parody of "Gangsta's Paradise" by Coolio.  It may also be "All the Cravings", but I don't think that's it.

No - by a Brummie comedian who came to fame in the 70s and had an 80s hit which was only a hit because of the 'B' side... that's probably enough of a clue ;-)
