Have you ever changed lyrics slightly to make them funnier?

[LoZoccolo]

I had a friend, who whenever he'd hear "Young Turks" by Rod Stewart, he'd think of this:

Billy wrote a letter back home to Patty's parents, trying to explain,
He said we're both really sorry that it had to turn out this way,
But there ain't no point in talking when there's nobody listening so we just ran away,
Patty gave birth to a ten-pound bowling ball

Now I think of it too.

And so will you.

[Systematic Chaos]

1. I do it constantly.

I tear apart songs I hate the most, but I have fun with songs I love too. Like, in the song "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Sinead O'Connor (which I think absolutely sucks balls, btw):

I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
but nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues,
'cos nothing compares
nothing compares 2 U

becomes

I can flip my floppies and I never wear a bra
but nothing
I said nothing can take away my boobs,
'cos nothing compares
nothing compares 2 U

Yeah, I'm one sick pup. :P

[maveric]

2. From Neil Young: "Love is a Nose and you better not pick it..."

[peekaloo]

20. oh my

that was a stoner favorite in high school!

:D

:smoke:

[jdots]

3. Kids do it unintentionally and it is really funny.

Our kids used to slaughter lryics so well that it made more sence than the original lryics.

[corksean]

4. Try the Four Seasons classic "Violence is Golden". A repug favourite.

[CO Liberal]

14. Or As I Used to Sing It When I Was an Oldies DJ.....

Silence is golden -
So's a cup of pee.....

:-)

[Esra Star]

5. You'll never walk again. by Gerry & the Kneecappers.

[johnnie]

6. Not really changed a lyric but

Whenever that U2 song comes on the radio...right after he sings "And I still....haven't found...what I'm looking for". I immediately say..."Oh, here it is". I crack myself up.

[Atlas Mugged]

7. Been doing that all my life

Here's one of the few that are suitable for a Fine Family Publication like DU:

Our house - is a very very very fine house
With two rats in the yard - soaked in rancid lard
Now everything is greasy 'cause of yooooouuuuuu..........

Yes, it's always song I hate. The revisions are usually pornographic....for some reason. Since DU is getting more hysterical by the day about anything of an "adult" nature, we won't go there.

[Magrittes Pipe]

8. Today is gonna be the day that I'm gonna shave my monobrow.

By now, I shoulda somehow realized I sing like a cow.
I can't believe that anybody likes my shitty band,
But I'm fuckin' rich.
And all the fans that see our shows are snoring,
'cause all the songs that I bleat out are boring.
There are many thing things that I would like to learn to spell,
But I don't know how.

[StopTheMorans]

10. .

:thumbsup:

[LoZoccolo]

28. That is not "slightly".

That approaches a full "parody".

[sniffa]

9. ashLee simpson

because of her damn show and it's theme, "autobiography"

and i puked on my shirt
and i'm the biggest jerk
if you want my auto
want my auto biography

not too pretentiou, eh? teenaged piece of garbage who's onLy known because of her sister.

[Atlas Mugged]

11. That's SUCH a depressing observation

"Who's only known because of her sister".

And her sister is.....uh....what the hell is her sister known for, anyway???

I've heard of hitching a ride on a comet, but this is more like hitching a ride on an epileptic firefly.

[sniffa]

12. being dumb and pretty

if you Like that sorta thing. i'm not sure i disLike more, ashLee, jessica, or the overLy-controLLing parents.

[TyeDye75]

13. Sure

My favourite is 'Tits are kinda magic'...by Queen

[CO Liberal]

15. Johnny Mathis's "It's Snot For Me To Say"

:-)

[CO Liberal]

16. Bobby Vinton's "I Love How You Love Me"

I love how your eyes close
Whenever you kiss me
And when you throw knives at me
I love how you miss me.....

:-)

[asthmaticeog]

17. R.E.M.'s "Sitting Still"

Since that was during Stipe's early mumble-everything phase, I'm not certain if these *aren't* the actual lyrics, but I always thought this one line would be better as "here we gather/throw up beer" than as, er, whatever the hell it actually is.

[MotorCityMan]

18. All the time!

My brother and I have been doing that since high school.

Most are x-rated, but to Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time (which I hated)

Lying in my bed I hear the dog fart and think of you....

[all.of.me]

19. have you ever seen the movie...

jumping jack flash with whoopi goldberg? she is trying to figure out the lyrics to the song to solve a riddle, and she somes up with some great ones of her own. it's a riot!

when my dad died, my daughter and i had a nanci griffith cd in the car (we drove across country to the funeral). we changed all the words to one song to reflect my father and his life. we didn't start it out intentionally, but the words were so easy to change, it just happened! that was three years ago, and we still sing it our way when we want a laugh!

[qnr]

21. Fry me a balloon - bake a cake upon the car / My wife and I used to

sing a whole modified version of the song to our dogs, it drove them crazy.

[latebloomer]

22. Dogs hate it

when you mess with Frank Sinatra lyrics.

[qnr]

29. Yes. That, and the fact that they know their food related words well :)

[jandrok]

23. "There's a bathroom on the right...."

Sung to the tune of "Bad Moon Rising"

[DinahMoeHum]

24. "Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody. . .

I got some money 'cause I just got LAID..."


:evilgrin::evilgrin::evilgrin:

[MissMillie]

25. To that stupid "I Hope You Dance Song"

I sometimes sing "I Peed My Pants"

[bif]

26. "Almost Washed My hair Today"--Neil Young song

[jus_the_facts]

27. A male friend in high school changed these Prince 1999 lyrics..LMAO..

....the original lyrics.."...the sky was all purple there were people runnin' everywhere...tryin' to run from the destruction...you know I didn't even care."

TO THIS....


...."...the sky was all purple there was pussy runnin' everywhere...tryin' to run from my erection...you know I didn't even care!" :D

[Nailzberg]

30. I have a running joke with friends where we all try to insert Nailzberg

It fits into most songs.

Right now our favorite is The Weight.

Take a load off Nailzberg.

[noonwitch]

31. The hymn "Lord, I Want to Be A Christian"

"Lord I'm glad I'm not a catholic, in my heart, in my heart".

Apologies to catholics, but I am very glad I'm not one. I consider women to be equal to men spiritually, and capable of making their own decisions regarding their own bodies. I don't have to consider the words of an old man in Rome to be the words of God.

[faithfulcitizen]

32. Oh yes, I love "My Sack of Rice" by Creed! :)

My brother-in-law is a genious at it...I tell him all the time, he should be the next weird Al.

[CO Liberal]

33. Rod Stewart's "Tonight's The Night"

The secret is about to unfold -
Beneath my armpits, I'm growing mold.

:-)

[CO Liberal]

34. CCR's "Have You Ever Seen The Rain?"

I wanna know, have you ever used your brain?

:-)

[CO Liberal]

35. The FourTops - "I Can't Help Myself"

Change "Sugarpie Honeybunch" to "Sugarbunch Honeypie".

[x-g.o.p.er]

36. To rip off Tom Petty: Yeah I'm free, free ballin'.
