The Lyrics
In front of me are familiar stories
Boring cliches
Authored mistakes
Grab a pencil and a few erasers
Take a turn here
Take a turn there
Our brains are filling up the stories
Blank emissions
Blank confessions
Laugh our heads off like there's no tomorrow
Like [Celebrity]
Or [Celebrity]
So they ask for an adjective
Or for another verb
The stories that we're writing
Are the best we ever heard
I find it hard to [verb] [noun]
I find it hard to [verb]
When people fill in the blanks it gets very silly
Mad Libs
Mad Libs
[Nouns] are waiting for the day [adjective]
[Day of the week]
[Historical date]
And I [verb] that every [noun] should
[Verb and adverb]
[Verb and adverb]
Went to [place] and I was so [adjective]
No one [verb]ed me
No one [verb]ed me
[Silly word] [boy's name], what's my [body part]?
Hey, it [verb]s me
Hey, it [verb]s me
Will I find a new adjective
Or find another verb?
The stories that we're writing
Are the craziest I've heard!
I find it hard to [verb] [noun]
I find it hard to [verb]
When people fill in the blanks it can get pretty silly
Mad Libs
Mad Libs
[Gerund] your [noun]
Mad libs
Boring cliches
Authored mistakes
Grab a pencil and a few erasers
Take a turn here
Take a turn there
Our brains are filling up the stories
Blank emissions
Blank confessions
Laugh our heads off like there's no tomorrow
Like [Celebrity]
Or [Celebrity]
So they ask for an adjective
Or for another verb
The stories that we're writing
Are the best we ever heard
I find it hard to [verb] [noun]
I find it hard to [verb]
When people fill in the blanks it gets very silly
Mad Libs
Mad Libs
[Nouns] are waiting for the day [adjective]
[Day of the week]
[Historical date]
And I [verb] that every [noun] should
[Verb and adverb]
[Verb and adverb]

[Silly word] [boy's name], what's my [body part]?
Hey, it [verb]s me
Hey, it [verb]s me
Will I find a new adjective

When people fill in the blanks it can get pretty silly
Mad Libs

[Gerund] your [noun]

This [Umbrella] Was So [Gassy]!!!!!!!
Don't know how my link for the Mad Libs web site got into every inch of this song. If this needs resubmission for any reason, Chucky, please e-mail me at [email protected].
FABULOUS, Agri!! I love Love LOVE Mad Libs, and this parody is just the perfect tribute to their glory! I wish I had thought of it first!
Went to [Am I Right] and I was so [entertained] by your parody.
unique entry
Very clever!
Very good subject..used to play this game some years back
Ahhhh, some BRILLIANT ORIGINALITY on AmIRight -- always refreshing!!
never heard of Mad Libs, but I assume it's a take-off of ad libs - and as [name] D, immediately above me, [verb]ed - a [adjective] [adjective] breath of originality - 555
I thought the links were intentional. Very original, Agri! 555
I, like Stu, was not familiar with madlibs...but I shan't be playing regularly- my mind's off-kilter enough as it is! 555
One of the most unique parodies I've ever read. I loved the "insert-your-own-parts-of speech" in the brackets. 555.
Stellar stuff, Aggro. I once did a Christmas newsletter in Mad-Libs style, but it never occurred to me to use the idea for a song parody. I wish it had. This is ingenious. It totally [action verb]s [body part].
(SOTM) I absolutely love it, great OS and great parody, 5-5-5
Am I the only [noun] for whom the MP3 is timing out at the end of the second verse? This is [verb]ing me off [adverb]! Can somebody please [verb] a different MP3 that actually [verbs] correctly? [Term of gratitude]! I'll see if VH1 has it on V Spot.
(SOTM) Oh, [verb] it, V-Spot didn't have the video (imagine that!) Oh well, I had to [verb] your entry without the use of the [adjective] [noun] by [name of artist]. I had to [verb] it as a(n) [verb] piece of writing. It was so [adjective], I had to [verb] you all [number]s! 555
(SOTM) WOW!! [superlative adverb] [very positive adjective] parody, Agri! This was very original!
(SOTM) This is a blank-free comment. I must say, your song is a very clever and original concept for a parody! Wow, my comment sounds incredibly stupid. Anyways...hi. Nice song.
Ingenious concept for a song parody and you executed it with due justice. [Verb] [Reflexive pronoun] [Adjective] [Plural numerals]!
SOTM - Great parody idea!!! You should mail Chucky about somehow setting something like this up as a new section on Amiright, something like this: The current Billboard #1 as a Mad Lib Sub Page.
I remember (plural pronoun). Looks like Agri (verb) another set (preposition) 5's from (name of a country in South America). -- MM
(SOTM) This was great! 555!
(SOTM) I was overcome with LAUGHTER at the sight of this PARODY by such a genius as this. My HEART was lighter and my DAY was brighter. Thanks!
(SOTM) As I said above, very original idea and execution.
(SOTM) What Johnny D said!
(SOTM) [adjective] [expletive], [author of this parody]! There were so many [adjective] [nouns], and [phrase], the [adjective] [noun] is [adjective] as well! If [pronoun] were the type of [noun] to [verb], [pronoun] would [verb] you [numerical adjective] [numerical nouns]!! And don't [verb] if you can't undrstand what the [expletive] [pronoun] just [past tense verb], you're [phrase]! Translation: Holy ****, Agrimorfee! There were so many brilliant lines, and to top it all off, the original song is awesome as well! If I were the type of person to vote, I would give you triple 5's!! And don't worry if you can't understand what the **** I just said, you're in good hands! Happy now? Do you want to kill me for jumping on the bandwagon? Excellent.
(SOTM) see above, and absolutely brilliant in its conception, Ag
(SOTM) See above!
Very clever original idea, wish I'd thought of this one. Really enjoyed reading this.
I dont think this was that great of a song.
Personally I thought this was a lazy parody. If I was to write a parody, I would figure out all those blanks that were ignored by putting in all those square brackets and such.
Still as brilliant as the day you wrote it, yes it was a lazy parody, but it was a genius lazy parody
(SOTY) As I said above, one of the most truly original ideas I've seen around here.
(ABC4-M) I think this would make for a better video than pure recording, sorta like Alannis M's "My Humps". [Adjective] is a hard scan to the original words, but this still a really good parody and unique idea.
(ABC-M): I'm with Red Ant, I was about to say that Dave should record this one for you, but then I was thinking nooooo.... That wouldn't quite work, would it? There are some parodies that can't be recorded, because they would lose humor in doing so. This one is perfect as a written work (except I don't know what a "Gerund" is... I don't think I've heard of that part of speach in school.
Matthias: A gerund is any verb with -ing.
(ABC4) See above (and sorry for the ludicrouslong long comment above, I was stupid...er then)! Still [Adjective]!
(ABCM) such an inspired original idea, Ag - deserves all the applause because it's one of those ideas that is just so effortlessly funny the parody can't fail - "I find it hard to [verb]" is just such a hilarious line - 555
Still one of the most clever ideas for a song I've seen. Lots of fun reading this again.
(ABC) The idea is classic, like a writing parody exercise for those who don't know how to write them. I have to say that pacing isn't quite as strong as I would have liked, and as Matty pointed out It's not one I could realistically record without it losing it's point . . .still a very clever, VERY original idea. "[Silly word] [boy's name], what's my [body part]?" Reminds me of fuzzy dice from Spencers:)
(ABC) What a fantastic and original idea. I don't know what I can add to what has been said above...very witty...very clever...excellent !!!
ABC- Wow, Agri.. I have to say this is very clever and funny. I played this game once, and reading this brought back a few memories. I also agree this should be kept as a written parody. Well done!
Now that I KTOS, this is HILARIOUS, 5s again
This is a Agrimorfee classic, Sadly this one is going to be impossible to ever record (so while it works amazingly as a written work being sung or for that matter recorded would take a lot away from it).
See above
(Artistry) All I can say is 5_5 (fill in the blank!!!)
(Artistry 80) Well written, Agri! Gotta love those Mad Libs! I believe that this (noun) deserves lots of (adjective). I (verb)ed this a 5(number)5...where the number is still 5!
(Artistry) There aren't many writers who could have pulled this off, and you did it brilliantly. [number] [number] [number].
(Artistry) Still awesome. I think a recording may work if the bracketed words are done by a speech synthesiser program, like Microsoft Sam, then edited to account for pitch. Could work. Have another [numbered vote]!
