The Lyrics
I write this open letter to shame the bully who keeps hurting my feelings - his insensitive comments are for all to see in quotation marks....(Original song here)
Uno, dos, tres, catorce...
(and er five six seven...)
"Lights
are down!
It's dark
but I know where you are
just from
your farts
coz they are even strong-
er than
a brontosaurus burp - and you've a mole
that's big-
ger than an anaconda"
Hello, hello!
those things you say all hurt you know
Y'say some things I wish you wouldn't, though
it seems you...
really don't care
how I feeeel..........
fee-ee-eel
"Your thighs
look like
phone poles!"
"Your belly has new rolls
upon
its rolls!"
"your skin's more weathered than
the Dead
Sea Scrolls!"
"Dya know that you can't dance? coz jeez I know"
"YOU've got wobbly knees
n'quite a flabby neck
n'dirty finger nails
and brains like Ben Affleck!"
Please stop this abusing
really not amusing
wai-ai-ail
wai-ai-ail
wai-ai-ail
Hello, hello!
these things you say are hurtful, bro
I said stop calling me Pinocchio
but you...
seem to not care
how I feeeel...
fee-ee-eel
(sniff sniff sniff)
(boo hoo hoo)
(I can't take it...)
"All of this - ugliness that IS yours
I suggest - needs to be hid INdoors"
"10 pounds less - you could be Santa Claus"
I wanna sit and cry
You're SUCH a cruel guy!
Hello, hello!
I'm just a dainty nerd/emo
You spread around I've hammertoe
because you...
seem to not care
I can feel you're not lis-ten-ing tho-o-o-ough...
OR else you'd finally kno-o-o-ow...
how I feeeel...
fee-eeeee-eel!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Been there, been called that, got the t-shirt. Good work here Stuart on a song that looks like a real bass turd to parody!!!
That was awesome! 5s
you had me at "brontosauras burp"...lol
I was scrolling through and I hit the Scrolls verse, my fave in a great effort.
Now why would you want to hurt Emo Phillips? He's a nice guy. 555
DKTOS -- opening sounded like "Wooly Bully". Umm, isn't the "fart" part true? If the pooh fits, etc. 555
Fine spoof peaking
Excellent effort, Stu! ...and I hope all these 5's people are voting will begin to assuage those hurt feelings!
Another classic by Stu McArthur, I too had an emo reference today. . .so it's all relative.
Stuart MacBeth, the BBTL parody that you demanded is about ready to submit tonight, to post Thur 4 Oct (Yank time), probably... the full force of your invective is expected there.... and check under your comment at Matthias' "Witch's Brew" :) http://www.amiright.com/parody/70s/thewho113.shtml
anyone other than you TT, and I would have considered that declaration improbable (I haven't even come up with a good title sub for it in 3 years of trying)
Thanks Matty - yes it was a bit nasty
thanks Jack, alvin, JAB and McKludge (no it's "Tickle Me" Emo I was aiming at)
thanks TT, AFW and TJC (slightly assuaged - but I'm still hurt! - don't you forget it!!)
thanks Dave - funny how these things bunch up

Stuart McArthur, it was indeed written in a couple of hours and submitted... with, I thought, a rather good title sub... but it didn't post, presumably for "crossing the line" guideline-wise. (What? A TT parody being too lascivious? Not possible!) I'm going to e-mail ChuckyG and try to find out if it can be modified slightly to conform, without losing the concept completely. If so, probably won't re-submit until Mon or Tue, since Friday is often a low-turnout day and might not be best for "Big 7" parodies. Will let you know the response.
(ABC4) A weird one from you, Stu...I couldn't quite grasp the emo-ishness of the singer, but some of the insults were quite funny.
Same sentiment as above.... Sounds like an actual conversation between a bully and some emo kid. I agree with Aggy on it being weird, and I like weird.
(ABC4-H) Having read the parody, I would have thought this one of your earlier works, Stu. I'm a bit surprised the intro Spanish is verbatim from the song, the chorus backing shouts... missing? and the end "yeahs" were begging for something to be done to them. I will say the format and pacing is absolutely perfect, but... well, Aussie emos must be a hell of a lot different than the ones here. Still 555 worthy, but I get the feeling this was rushed a bit. Don't go cutting your wrists over my comment though, or you'll wind up in an Evanescence video. =)
(ABC4H) Quite witty, paced perfectly (as I know the OS, for once), another Classic for Stu.
ABC- This one was a little weird, but still very good. Bully for you, Stu.
ABC(H) What I don't get is why they do the "Uno, dos, tres, catorce" start-up. They are saying 1-2-3-14. Very, how do you say... EMOtional.
it is most unwise 'to put hell' on General MacArthur!
(ABC4H) Hmmmmm....I don't know why, but this didn't grab me like almost all of your stuff usually does, Stu. Not saying it's not good (you rarely ever do bad), it's just a bit.....obvious? Sorry, dude...5s, but not huge ones
p.s. you're still coming over for Yahtzee and Violet Crumble, right? :-D

Originality (B) I hate echoing other opinions, especially when they aren't top notch echo's. . .This one was predictable to me; Pacing (A) Can't fault you here, sound and well formatted; Comedy (C) Just didn't move me much, sorry Stu; The X Factor (C) Well, in honesty Stu, I hope that you aren't too angry with me for saying this, but I can't say that I really got this one all that well, kinda lost me a bit, but still a good parody, just a little of your normally high marks
