The Lyrics

*'chops' is musician slang for 'skills'
Each day, I spend reading that day's entries
On my fav'rite parody website --
The site the parodists call 'AmIRight'
And it is quite a delight
One day a joker called 'EmiLoca'
Wrote a parody just out of sight
It was so clever, I had to tell her
And now I salute her with these words I write:

You've got chops -- you're a clever writer
You've got chops -- verse was never lighter!
You can be as droll as that Porter (Cole) could be
Or exciting as the age of jazz -- you're "too, too, di-veen"
You've got chops -- your stuff bursts with wit, girl
You've got chops -- yeah, your stuff's 'the shit', girl
Your command of craft really makes me laugh -- a lot!
There's no doubt about it baby, you've got chops!

You've got chops - chops I so admire
You've got chops - and I'm so inspired
I am heaping praise, cause you've made me raise the bar
Not a flaw in view, I'm in awe of you -- that's how great you are!
You've got chops - I admire your pacing
My heart stops, then it starts to racing
What a thrilling ride your words provide - don't stop!
Keep on thrilling us, cause baby, you've got chops!

You've got chops - few have done it better!
You've got chops - how it comes together:
Yes, your form is sound and wit abounds, it's true
Oh believe you me, how I want to be, Emi, just like you!
You've got chops, so I wrote this tribute
To give props (give your horn its due 'toot')
Lest I seem obsessed and make you get the cops
I'll sign off, but say in parting: "you've got chops!"

I'm flattened by flattery! At first when I read the title, I assumed that "chops" was slang for a part of the body - and applied for a virtual restraining order. Now I realize how music-slang illiterate I am, feel sheepish, and then read it over again to make myself feel special! This was truly an excellent parody, whether it happened to be about me or not. Fives, a hug and your very OWN tribute...eventually...

Oh no, please no tribute -- I wouldn't want that. This was just because I found your piece so entertaining, and I've been wanting to do something to this tune anyway, so figured I'd just kill two slugs with one grain of salt. I'd hate the idea that you felt you had to reciprocate -- no go on and keep doin' your thang.

I'm sort of glad you didn't know what 'chops' meant, because after I wrote the explanation, I thought "geez, people know what that means -- they're gonna think I think they're stupid..."

Oh, fine. The thang is being done, so no worries. But thanks anyway. :-)

Pathetic, crappy, gay, dumb, stupid, irritating, annoying, sad, crummy, cruddy, piece of butt sauce, or, for those of you whos I.Q. is lower than a box of raisins (cough, cough, Apricot, cough, cough, Jake A. Ralphing, cough, cough, ChuckyG) bad. Increase your IQ from a garden hose, and i might think of reading this crap. TJ NOT out

"Increase your IQ from a garden hose, and i might think of reading this crap. " So, basically, after the garden hose supplies IQ for the brilliant parody author, YOU will start thinking (well, you might). Hopefully resulting in being able to distinguish "crap" from "obviously not crap", and maybe even being able to read it! Leo, I suggest you hit the garden hose right away, for the sake of all who read Spindler's degrading postage. *kicks T.J. OUT!*

*sulking in the corner, casting jealous looks at Lee OJ* Just in case you weren't aware, Lee, www.amiright.com/parody/2000s/rickymartin14.shtml

I HATE YOU SPINDLER!

Well, T.J., I'm surprised. I thought your mommy grounded you after I showed her all the naughty things you've said. Well, if you've come back to rear your "clever" head again, I'm saddened. You failed to mention me in your cough cough list. But I didn't forget you. So, I have something for you: *sticks up both middle fingers and smiles. Keeps them up for the rest of the conversation* Up yours, Spindler! You and your family! I love how you still haven't stopped using gay as a negative adjective. I thought you might have learned something from my teachings. Respect your elders, young man. Feh, well, you can't teach these Spindler types, so I'll leave with something you MIGHT just understand: UP YOURS, HOMOPHOBE! NOW GO, OR YOU'LL BE LATE FOR YOUR NEXT SKINHEAD TEAPARTY! Aw yeah! SLAP IN YO FACE, SPINDLER!

All right, we can turn my favorite parody's comment zone into a Spindler family massacre. I mean, that's okay with me. Sure thing. I don't care. It's only my favorite. *glances at Luke* Er...

Well I, for one, pity poor Lee OJ who's been brought into this feud by the fact that TJ must stalk our every message and wish to befoul every parody comment zone with his incessant lack of thoughtful input. Oh, and I see our little TJ has finally learnt how to spell 'I.Q.' properly. Oh wait, he then spells it 'IQ' within a sentence later. Oh wait again, he still hasn't learnt the proper noun status of the letter 'i'. Deary deary me... you one day may reach the intelligence of a hose....

On another thought, Spindler: If you're so mad at ChuckyG and his work, LEAVE HIS SITE. IF he is a moron as you say, STOP COMING HERE AND START YOUR OWN SITE. Also, thank you for telling us what "butt sauce" meant. You know the rest of us who aren't God don't really know what dumb and stupid mean. Once again, I leave you with Icy's message, cause it gets the point across: UP YOURS, SPINDLER!
