Song Parodies:

My song parodies are listed below. But I have a special page just for the ones I've done with Arthur, and you can find that one here.

• Transylvanian Skies (To the tune of Don McLean's American Pie)
  Yes, it is the ENTIRE song. The funny thing here is that the whole movie (minus the dinner scene) fits perfectly.
  
  
• The Ballad of Richard O'Brien (To the tune of "the Ballad Of Davy Crockett")
  And yes, I know Richard was not a cheese farmer. But it rhymed. Artistic license, I guess you'd call it.
  
  
• Do you see what I see? (To the tune of do you hear what I hear)
  Just one of those moments when you're being tortured by a song and decide to make it more palatable to your tastes. I have done a lot of Christmas song parodies, and I really think it's because I can't stand Christmas songs AT ALL! and as a result, have always preferred having an alternate set of lyrics in my head to get me through them.
  
  
• The Twelve Days of Christmas- (duh)
  Same thing, but this one was more because at the time QVC was supposed to be selling Rocky Horror merchandise, and I never really thought about Rocky Horror and home shopping in the same space.
  
  
• I Don't Believe in Puffin, and Revenge of the Old Queen (to the tune of "I Was In Love With Danny, But The Crowd Was In Love With Dean")
  It just hit me in the face while listening to the original song and sifting through the endless "Puffin" posts. If there's one thing I love in parodies, it's when you can get a nice title from the original title, and considering how long this title is, I was particularly happy with it.
  
  
• King of Flame ( to the tune of "King of Pain")
  Another one written with the NG in mind. Still as valid as ever . . .
  
  
• Maybe You're a Ritz Fan (to the tune of "Baby, You're a Rich Man")
  One of my personal favorites. :-) And another where the title sounds so close to the original, yet so far away.
  
  
• Sound of Music (to the tune of "Sounds of Silence")
  Written in reaction to the European showings of "Sound of Music" as a Rocky-esque cult film. And they say WE'RE weird???
  
  
• One Night in Denton (Co-written with Arthur Levesque [bs@boog.org] to the tune of "One Night in Bangkok")
  Just on a whim after chatting in the Zen Room one day, Arthur mentioned we should try to help each other out on parodies the other was stuck with. Next day, this is what came out. I did the choruses, and Arthur had done the verses.
  
  
• Rocky (to the tune of "Donna", by Ritchie Valens)
  Another example of songs I dislike. My mother, on the other hand, loves this song. I've found singing this version over it increases my enjoyment immensely.
  
  
• Don't talk to Strangers (Dark City Theme) (to the tune of "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey)
  Guilty pleasure- I loved Journey when I was younger. So it ferreted into my brain and didn't let go.
  
  
• Sanity and Vanity (Co-written with Arthur Levesque [bs@boog.org] to the tune of "Ebony and Ivory" by Paul McCartney)
  I always thought "sanity" and "vanity" rhymed way too well.
  
  
• Money For Farley (Co-written with Arthur Levesque [bs@boog.org] to the tune of "Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits)
  Just like sanity and vanity ringing through my ears, Arthur couldn't get "I want my DTV" out of his head. And who can blame him, after all- it's GOTTA be- DTV.
  
  
• Rocky is Life (To the tune of "Life is a Rock" (but the radio rolled me)" By Reunion)
  I kind of like what happened with this one. I chose the song simply because it's one of the wordiest songs I've ever known- (you mess up the beat and you're SCREWED) so I figured it would be tough to parody. It was. But to make it even more fun, Arthur did up his own version while I was doing mine. (you can check out his version here) It was interesting to see what we both did with it.
  
  
• Saturday at the show (To the tune of "Saturday in the Park")
  Is there really much to add to this one? Probably not. But it's another song I can't stand, if that means anything. That is actually how most parodies begin for me, by hearing someone singing something I can't stand so I make up my own words to annoy them. :)
  
  
• Frank-N-Furter (To the tune of "Desperado" by The Eagles)
  Ever feel bad becuase Frank gets shot? I kinda think Riff did, you can catch him crying in the film after he wreaks all the carnage. Poor guy.
  
  
• If I had a laser gun (To the tune of "If I only had a Brain" from Wizard of Oz)
  This one came about as a dare of sorts on the NG. I said something along the lines of "oh, if only I had a functional laser". Arthur said "sounds like a parody to me!" I couldn't back down. :)
  
  
• The Atlas Pyramid (To the tune of "Charles Atlas/ Charles Atlas Reprise")
  Spam, spam, spam, and creative troll problem solving.
  
  
• We Always Start a Flame War (Co-written with Arthur Levesque [bs@boog.org] to the tune of "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel)
  Another NG inspired parody, set into motion by the resurgance of an old, nasty argument.
