The Lyrics

Part of my "Shine Brighter Supplemental" self-challenge. Ah, the Thing, the ever-lovin' blue eyed holy crap, how did I not use that phrase in the parody GAAH who cares. Enjoy!

I went out to space, man
Test this rocket thing
Help my friend Reed Richards
And Johnny, the dick
Plus his sister Sue, man
We all went to space
Should've worked out great
Hit by cosmic rays

Now I'm the Thi-ing
And my skin is hard as rock
I mean that lit'rally, yeah
Think it's cool, it's not

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
(Ooooh-oo-oo-ooo)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

I am the Thing
Eff my li-ee-ife, hate my li-ee-ife, li-ee-ife, li-ee-ife, li-ee-ife
I am The Thing and it bi-i-i-i-i-ites
Thick orange skin, yeah, it bi-i-i-i-i-ites
There's no off switch, yeah, this bi-i-i-i-i-ites
I am the Thing and it bites

Now Reed's always stretchin'
Johnny goes "Flame on!"
Susan can do force fields
Why am I worst off?
Kids look up to those three
But to me, they don't
They just run right home
That's an utter load, yeah

Stuck as The Thi-ing
It kinda stresses me out
Clobber goons, lets off steam, yeah
Punch Doom in the mouth

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
(Ooooh-oo-oo-ooo)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

I am the Thing
It's my li-ee-ife, hate this li-ee-ife, li-ee-ife, li-ee-ife, li-ee-ife
I am The Thing and it bi-i-i-i-i-ites
Can't control my strength, it bi-i-i-i-i-ites
This man, this monster, this bi-i-i-i-i-ites
I am the Thing and it bi-i-i-i-i-ites

Stuck as the Thing, yeah, it bi-i-ites, ri-ight

Beat up Namor all I want
I don't ca-ee-are, it's not fa-ee-air
The stick's short end, why is it mine?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
(Ooooh-oo-hoo-oo-oo-oo, yeah-ee-yeah-hey-ay-ay-yeah, oh-oh-hooooh-oh-oh-ooh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Some might call me emo
Whining like a bitch
They can't know how I feel
Breaking ev'rything
And I never mean to
Kinda made of rock
So I tend to sulk
Cause my life just sucks

Just discovered this little tidbit about the film version: "One of Chiklis' requirements for accepting the role of the Thing was that his character would be make-up based, rather than the CGI everyone else had previously assumed. This meant that Chiklis insisted upon hours of application and wearing heavy, uncomfortable makeup, over the option that would have allowed him to earn the same money in significantly less time simply by voice acting. Why? Because Chiklis was a fan who knew that underneath the rock skin, Ben Grimm's still a human being, and this was best shown by having his actor go through the same thing." That's just awesome.
