The Lyrics
I've never written a parody so fast...I'm at home with a head cold and this news breaks on the TV...and I voted for the guy...
I had this client who was upper plate:
You know, the Governor of New York State.
I rode to D.C. to do some “wine and dine”
And some hanky-panky with
Love Client Number 9.
He said he rarely ran around with chicks
Since he got married circa ’86.
I took all his payment and make a “come here” sign.
I went to our room with
Love Client Number 9.
He bent down and turned around and gave me a kiss.
We drank ourselves a bottle of expensive Chabliss.
We smelled like fancy wine; we looked like Mister and Miss.
I pursed my lips, I closed my eyes, we had a tryst!
The New York Times exposed this awful flap.
It came to light due to a wiretap.
Now will this breaking scandal now force him to resign
Because of his adventures as
Love Client Number 9?
(instrumental break)
I pursed my lips, I closed my eyes, we had a tryst!
The New York Times exposed this awful flap.
It came to light due to a wiretap.
Now will this breaking scandal now force him to resign
Because of his adventures as
Love Client Number 9?
Love Client Number 9.
Love Client Number 9.
Love Client Number Ni-i-i-i-ine!
You know, the Governor of New York State.
I rode to D.C. to do some “wine and dine”
And some hanky-panky with
Love Client Number 9.
He said he rarely ran around with chicks
Since he got married circa ’86.
I took all his payment and make a “come here” sign.
I went to our room with
Love Client Number 9.
He bent down and turned around and gave me a kiss.
We drank ourselves a bottle of expensive Chabliss.
We smelled like fancy wine; we looked like Mister and Miss.
I pursed my lips, I closed my eyes, we had a tryst!
The New York Times exposed this awful flap.
It came to light due to a wiretap.
Now will this breaking scandal now force him to resign
Because of his adventures as

The New York Times exposed this awful flap.
It came to light due to a wiretap.
Now will this breaking scandal now force him to resign
Because of his adventures as
Love Client Number 9?
Love Client Number 9.
Love Client Number 9.
Love Client Number Ni-i-i-i-ine!

A grin, to be sure. Question is, re "number 9," did he _take_ a number for that assignation or _have_ a number in the narratrice's list of regulars? Whatever, looks like his number may be up.
I wonder if he did 6-9 wit' 9? Nice job. You beat me to it. I just finished a Spitz ditty that I'll submit today.
I was expecting someone to cover this story. Never expected it this fast. Very well done.
Oh . . .. that ~ Emperors's Club ~ client # 9.
He's soooo fine,
Wish he were mine, all the time;
but they're going to take him out, 'Cuz
but my Retirement account is heading south !
wonderfully written...it sings itself
Brava, Melanie! This was beautifully done. 555
I thought I was first, but you beat me to it. It's OK, although you cheated a little with the wine: It may be spelled "chablis," but it's pronounced "sha-BLEE." But rhyming it with "tryst" makes up for it. Good job.
WHERE CAN I FIND AN MP3 OF THIS?
man I wish I had your ability to write a parody this fast I'm STILL suffering with writer's block! 544
Darn it! Double darn it! Triple darn it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!! I was going to write this tonight! You beat me to it, Melanie. Great job. i think someone should record this and blast this all over NY. Yeah, this HAS to get on radio ASAP in NY!
Extra clever, timely and all that stuff...loved it, voting number five
awesome
Aside from the minor quibble that "kiss" and "Chabliss" don't rhyme, this was a extremely fast turnaround on a news story. Very well done, Melanie, and now I can cross this idea off of my "list" (in record time, no less). 5s.
Melanie, you are to be commited for spoofing a Democrat - and for doing it well. This OS is a perfect fit for Client #9.
Thanks for the comments, guys! I deliberately spelled it "Chabliss" (two S's) so it would rhyme with "kiss". Now tell me who in NYC records song parodies and takes submissions! And don't let me deter you; you can write your "Number 9" spoofs, too! I'm looking forward to it! BTW, there may already be one in the works for the airwaves, according to something I read in the NY Daily News today. http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/2008/03/12/2008-03-12_luv_guv_makes_inner_circle_spoof_change_.html
It's happened: Spitzer resigned as of 10:55 am or so today. I'm not rejoicing, but I suppose it had to happen.

6 is afraid of 7 because 7, 8, 9 - - and Spitzer is #9 so the hooker must be #7 - so who's #6
Here's another "Love Client Number 9" parody, at the blog Roger Catlin/TV Eye:

And here's another parody, on a video, no less!:

I wonder what YouTube might turn up!
I had to ReRead this again; it really is fine: that Client who was "upper plate" . . . does Spitzer wear dentures??
LOL, thank goodness New York is rid of spitzer! he was worse even than mario cuomo...
I *liked* the mangling of Chablis, and that type of poetic license in general. For your pro career, though, keep in mind that kind kind of stuff doesn't work as well on the air, as Joe Average driving to work during rush hour while shaving and talking on his iPod is gonna not get the joke :) The crowd here is much sharper than average, plus we get to see it in print. You become Client 5(55).
I loved the original Love Potion...and I sang this through in the original tune. It was so funny and really rocked, I thought.
I think the Chabliss was pure genius!
