The Lyrics
A tribute to the irrational behavior of the many males in my life. =)
Took a stick of TNT
Shoved it up my butt
Then I drank some hot sauce
I glugged down a glut
Though I may regret it
You know now and the-en
I get crazy
Might be drunk enough to do it aga-ain
I got up on a lawn chair
That's strapped on a sled
Ran it down a steep hill
Fell and cracked my head
My hospital bill was real huge
A hundred bucks, and ye-et,
The next time I
Think I'll go and try it out with a je-et!
Don't ask me why, don't sneak and pry, butt out, you snoop!
On this matter, I won't give you the poop
There ain't a reason why it's done
Perhaps it's just for fun
Don't ask me why...'twon't make me die!
And even though I ate some bleach
Chopped your coat of mink
I'm perfectly sane, dear,
I don't need a shrink!
You say you'll swear off dudes
Become a lesbia-an
I know you'll be less interested
With someone who's not a ma-an
Don't ask me why, don't sob and cry, what did I do?
It's not my fault I made out with your shoe
You think I need the loony bin
Won't stick through thick and thin
Don't ask me why, don't roll that eye!
Don't ask me why, don't specify, don't give up hope
I'm a nice man, though I act like a dope
I'll even get treatment of shocks
Destroy my mental rocks
Don't ask me why...I'm just a guy!
Shoved it up my butt
Then I drank some hot sauce
I glugged down a glut
Though I may regret it
You know now and the-en
I get crazy
Might be drunk enough to do it aga-ain
I got up on a lawn chair
That's strapped on a sled
Ran it down a steep hill
Fell and cracked my head
My hospital bill was real huge
A hundred bucks, and ye-et,
The next time I
Think I'll go and try it out with a je-et!
Don't ask me why, don't sneak and pry, butt out, you snoop!
On this matter, I won't give you the poop
There ain't a reason why it's done
Perhaps it's just for fun
Don't ask me why...'twon't make me die!
And even though I ate some bleach
Chopped your coat of mink
I'm perfectly sane, dear,
I don't need a shrink!
You say you'll swear off dudes

I know you'll be less interested
With someone who's not a ma-an
Don't ask me why, don't sob and cry, what did I do?

You think I need the loony bin
Won't stick through thick and thin
Don't ask me why, don't roll that eye!
Don't ask me why, don't specify, don't give up hope
I'm a nice man, though I act like a dope
I'll even get treatment of shocks
Destroy my mental rocks
Don't ask me why...I'm just a guy!

inspired lunacy
Some guy actually did strap a lawn chair to balloons, I think it was, and took off. Violated LAX airspace, fell into the Pacific (survived). It's the testosterone, I think... makes you brave and stupid.
555, and I repeat the question asked at your "confession", after "flat" thread.

Actually, Tommy, the lawn-chair-on-a-sled thing was taken from this guy who sits in front of me in French class who told me that he really did that, though he didn't harm himself as much as my parody's protagonist. He heavily inspired this work.
Just had a few moments today in between Tax Questions here, Cat...I somehow ended up on this piece. Nice job...Whew! Sure glad I'm not doing any of this stuff...I don't think I ever did, but that was about 40 years ago, so I'm not entirely certain about that...lol...OH...yeah...YOUR piece...yeah...5's ~ ~ ~
Liked it, don't ask me why
Me too, 555.
(ABC) Honey, you get 5s just for coming up with the term "mental rocks"!
(ABC3) It's hard to believe this was written by a high school age girl. What are they adding to the water in your town?! Very odd, and very funny.
(ABC3-D) Yes, what ARE the doing to you water? Adding caffiene? Sugar? Pot? Too bad I DKTOS (like I'M supposed to know any Beatles songs at 15?), but it was very funny. Nice job!
Thanks everyone! (and Pieman, whaddaya mean, like you're supposed to know Beatles songs at 15? I wrote this at 15 and I know a ton of Beatles songs!)
(ABC3-D) It's good to see young lads haven't changed from since when I was that age. This is skilful, funny writing by anyone's standards, but your age raises it to a whole other level of admiration. 555
(ABCD3) A little hard to follow due to tonight being my first time hearing TOS, and you changing all the end-line rhymes (which isn't a bad thing), but solid throughout in that respect. Funny work Cat, "I'll Give You 5s".
PS to bobpiecheese: While this OS isn't on the Beatles' #1 CD, acquiring that CD ASAP should be a priority for your music collection.

Ahhhh.... A trip down memory lane with Hobbes behind me as we go speeding down a hill with a rocket attached to the back.
Only prob is, these days the girls are acting the same way: binge drinking, going out in the freezing cold in summer clothes, getting body piercings, trying to prove how tough they are. And how mean they can be to people who don't fit in, just like the male bullies used to do. This is where 40 years of feminsim has gotten your country! As for the parody, well-done. I'll vouch for you, I could write a pretty good spoof when I was still in high school, and a few of my older works have shown up here. So I do not join the chorus of those who say you're too young to have that talent. -- MM
(ABC3-D) I really wish you hadn't read my biography and put it into a parody, Cat! :-) Seriously, this was very well done. Excellent pacing and a fun read. 555+
(ABC3D) you continue to amaze with your familiarity of the old songs (I'm a Beatles fan, but was struggling to recall this one) - great job again, Cat, and an unmistakeable indicator of your inner respect levels for the male of the species - 555
Wow, there are some great ideas to try out here! On a related note, my wife is mad at you =) 5s.
Found this parody 6 years after it was written and laughed my patootie off. (I'm working on a parody of my own to this song as I post this.) I vote 5's.
