1/31/10 - O.V. Michaelsen

This may be the smartest person I've ever done a song of the day for, at least that has been quantified.

O.V. Michaelsen was a puzzle editor for the Mensa International Journal. He has written three word play books. He is a singer, a songwriter, and a guitarist. The guy is all around pretty talented and apparently quite brilliant. I may have to check into one of his books, which a reviewer on Amazon called, "Send[ing] your brain to Disneyland."

This song is a parody of Johnny Cash's "Walk the Line" called, "I Talk Online." Pretty funny. Hope you enjoy it.

1/30/2010 - Glen Stollberger

Good morning my little hobbitses.

Glen Stollberger, also known as 2nz from the AmIRight Parody Network, came up with this little ditty about Lord of the Rings called, "Destroy One Ring." It is a parody of Queens "We are the Champions" and he does a good job with the music... errr... clapping. Goes to show that you don't necessarily need all kinds of musical instruments to make an effective song.

Find Glen on Soundclick and at AmIRight.

Lyrics
Gimli, son of Gloin, you have joined the fellows
But insist you don't wanna be thrown you say
A huge beard on your face
(Braid)-ed with grace
Running so hard to keep with the pace

(We must)
De-stroy
De-stroy
One Ring

De-stroy
De-stroy
One Ring

Legolas with keen sight you fight-
Arrows rush to meet with some orcs who won't last the day
An elf knife for the chase
(ya) long eared race
Walking on the snow, not leaving a trace

De-stroy
De-stroy
One Ring

De-stroy
De-stroy
One Ring

Boromir's a strong man, stout man, brave
Has a dream, gonna get to Gondor some day
He thinks my ring is nice
Bad advice
Before this war is over he's gonna think twice

De-stroy
De-stroy
One Ring

De-stroy
De-stroy
One Ring

(Every hobbit)
De-stroy
De-stroy
One Ring

De-stroy
De-stroy
One Ring



Bonus by Glen:

Fun live stuff :)

1/29/10 - Robert Lund

Ok, this one is a little harder to classify the artist. It appears on a Robert Lund album, "Politicked Off". It's written by Spaff.com. It's sung by Michele Davis. It's audited by Bob, the accountant from Accountemps. But we'll get to that.

I just finished my taxes so taxes are on my mind. Sure, it's not even close to April 15th, but I don't like waiting until the last minute. Last year I did them early and they kept getting rejected because I had my daughter's birthyear wrong. Got it fixed on April 13th. Bad dad. This year, everything is good. I double-checked.

So with tax season coming up, what better way to send your tax check in but with a copy of Lund's/Spaff.com's/Michele's parody of Faith Hill's song, "Kiss This" called, "Kiss This! (Hey IRS)"? Again, I think Spaff is a lyrical genius. I have always enjoyed songs with tons of puns and double meanings (in the Christian world, Steve Taylor is the same way.) Spaff doesn't disappoint in this area.

Anyway, here's "Kiss This! (Hey IRS)":



Lyrics
I don't want no April 15th
I don't need another judgment day, no
Anything the good Lord giveth
Uncle Sam he
Taketh
Away
'Cause Big Brother's got a big debt
Baby, guess who has to pay?

It's the way you mug me
It's unspeakable pain
It's a personal washout
Down a bottomless drain
It's abhorrently taxing
It's uhhnn believable

Kiss this! Kiss this!
Hey IRS
Kiss this! Kiss this!

Doing taxes ain't so scary
Simply add up what you made, oh
Take it to the actuary
Where he subtracts
The tax
You've paid
Then you mail in twice the difference
Plus a check for Medicaid

It's a Form 1040
It's a penalty clause
It's inscrutable worksheets
It's nonsensical laws
It's unspendable income
It's uhhnn deductible

Kiss this! Kiss this!
Hey IRS
Kiss this! Kiss this!

You can tax me on my taxes
Then you tax the funds that remain
You can tax me on bikini waxes
For a jolt of similar pain
Slap on sadistic audits
Don't let anything pass
You've bent me over
So kiss - my - ass - ets

It's the way you mug me
It's relentlessly lame
It's aggressively wasteful
This unwinnable game
It's unsportsmanlike conduct
It's uhhnn depreciable

Kiss this! Kiss this!
It's criminal
Kiss this! Kiss this!

Kiss my bottom line there, baby
Kiss my bottom line there, darlin'

1/28/10 - Fred Landau

As evil as they are, you have got to admire terrorist for their ingenious thinking of ways to get around the system. Can't strap a bomb around your waist anymore, get it in your shoe next to the shoe phone. Have to take off your shoes? How about making your underwear into a bomb? I'm sure toupee bomb and denture bombs are coming up soon.

To combat this from happening comes almighty technology and the super scanner of doooooooom! Or at least the one that sees through your clothes better than Superman being a peeping Tom with married Louis Lane -- oh forget I mentioned that. That movie never happened. People are upset about this - especially the ones that it is targeted at I would imagine.

In comes Fred Landau with his parody of Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me To The Moon" called "Fly Me in the Nude." You should get your screener's name before entering because it's so intimate now :)

Here it is, enjoy:

1/27/10 - Slyth66

I usually enjoy Slyth's stuff. He is a youtube parodist who is not afraid to make fun of himself or dress up silly to get some comedy across. In reality, Slyth66 is 16 year old Clifton from South Carolina. He has a great sense of humor and really likes making those videos. Let me post what he has as his description from his Youtube page:

I love filmmaking, acting, photography, and video editing.

YouTube tells me that my account does not contain sufficient original new content that represents the uniqueness of their community, but I beg to differ!

I am a right arm amputee. I had my right arm amputated when I was a few days old. I've lived like this my whole life so I have adjusted to do things with one arm that others do with two. It doesn't affect me as a person at all. Hey, who needs two arms? :-)

I thought I featured Slyth once before but looking back, I hadn't so I'm glad I get to now. Here's Slyth with a parody of Ke$ha's "Tik Tok" called, "Please Stop" featuring one of my favorite themes, stalking. Enjoy:



Lyrics
Wake up in the morning and I feel like poo
Wash my face, I brush my teeth, just like I always do
Before I leave, check my FaceBook and look what I see
This annoying girl Cindy, left a comment for me

I'm talking messages every day, day
She will not go away, way
Texting me on my phone, phone
Hold up, how did she get my number?
Watching me in my slumber
This chick is driving me bonkers

Please stop, make her stop
Sorry, but I need my space
Alright, you're a creep
Just get away from me
Please stop, oh my God
But this girl won't stop, no

She follows me to school, and all the way home
She's like a freaky little stalker, never leaves me alone
You see, I'm not the type of guy to just kick her away
But when I go out to the clubs I'll just dress like I'm gay

Ok that wasn't a very good trick, trick
Boys tryin' to grab my dick, dick
Guess it's better than that creepy chick, chick

Now, now, she's walking into the club, club
she's making out with a slut, slut
Making out with a slut, slut
Making out with a slut

Please stop, make her stop
Sorry, but I need my space
Alright, you're a creep
Just get away from me
Please stop, oh my God
But this girl won't stop, no

You beam me up
You chase me down
You're always around
Now, you caught me

What do you want
You got me now
You're always around
Yeah, you caught me

You beam me up
You chase me down
You're always around
Now, you caught me

Send me back home
No place like home
No place like home

Now, as soon as I'm gone she comes back in

Please stop, make her stop
Sorry, but I need my space
Alright, you're a creep
Just get away from me
Please stop, oh my God
But this girl won't stop, no

Please stop, make her stop
Sorry, but I need my space
Alright, you're a creep
Just get away from me
Please stop, oh my God
But this girl won't stop, no

1/26/10 - Flaming Hot Danger

A couple of months ago, Weird Al helped explain some of what autotune is. Flaming Hot Danger has taken the idea of autotune and expanded it to autolife. Automatic doors, automatic e-mail replies, automatic facebook and twitter entries, automatic transmission. Life is becoming more and more automatic. It's almost like we are all turning into Payton Manning.

So here is Flaming Hot Danger with "Livin' In An Auto World":

1/25/10 - Kobi LaCroix

I mentioned Kobi LaCroix a couple of days ago when Prince came out with his Vikings theme song so it is only fitting that he came out with a new song -- or should I say the "Chorus of the Ridiculous" did. The Chorus Ridiculous consists of Kobi LaCroix, Kobi LaCroix, Kobi LaCroix, Kobi LaCroix, and special guest singer Kobi LaCroix. In reality, IHOP could have been considered a Chorus Ridiculous song with Kobi's multiple voices, octaves and harmonies. He is quite talented that way.

So enter Kobi and Crew with their rendition of "Pants of the Ground." Someone told me yesterday that it was over. Is "All Your Base" over? Is Kanye West interrupting over? Is Rick Rolling over? Can a cat has a cheezburger? Ok, maybe it did outlive itself already, but Kobi came out with a classic rendition. So here is the Chorus Ridiculous with "Pants of the Ground":

1/24/10 - Below Average Dave

My wife and I both got new phones just recently with a plan that has unlimited texting. This is good since my wife has on occasion gone over her text limit and we had to pay a little extra to cover it. Me, I don't text. Except to her in reply. I'd rather watch TV and check twitter on my phone so the unlimited data helps too.

Not being a text aficionado, I sometimes have to try to decipher the texts I do get. TTYL? ILY? ORLY? OMGWTFBBQ? How does she learn these things (I made that up)? So here is Below Average Dave sharing my texting struggle with his song, "Text Messaging Ain't Right". Enjoy:

Dave is on Soundclick and on his website, not to mention he is a moderator at the AmIRight Parody Network.

Lyrics
LOL, LMAO
LOL, LMAO
LOL, LMAO
LOL

Compact what I'm saying
when typing
Abbreviate what I see
Say B.R.B.
What does that mean, Frustration
from conversation
F.Y.I., it makes me cry you see
Words are out of style
Never spell out U
Can you spell out a word or two
Looking like a stooge
He said T.Y. , it meant thank you?
W.T.F. is with that dude?
And they speak it too, from their mouths cutting verbs
Stutter half the time and I do not know the words
I still spell out hello, shows my age
They all think that I'm J.K.

What's with that word MILF?
What does that word mean?
Text Messaging ain't right, what's that, what's that
Still wondering bought MILF?
I'm not joking when I say
What's That?

LOL, LMAO
LOL, LMAO
LOL, LMAO
LOL

That text was bold, feeling old
I can't keep up as this stuff unfolds
And I don't have a damn prayer
Stressing out here
Smileys are emotions with a face
I understand that
It's 2.M.O.Z. I can't take
It wont stop, It spreads around, I go flop
Need to drop this system
put full speak back on top
Put it back up
I'm still typing out my sentence
Spelled it out again
And spelled it out again I said

What's wrong with spelling out 'too'
I don't know, I'll never have a damn clue
What does it mean when they say F.U.
It's spinning my head

This new language hell, cuts English like swiss
Text Messaging ain't right, what's that, what's that
Making my brain melt
I Can't read what you've displayed
To-night

What does S.O.B. mean I don't know
I.M. is unappealing, it's not like speaking
In fact it really kinda blows
I can't comprehend it, though I try
When I try to dissect it my mind is fried
And it's such a damn fright, a fright

Shorten things to hell
It still don't feel quite right, oh well
oh well
When you text by cell
I think you meant Ash Tray?

Ash-Tray?

Good-Lay?

Let's-Plaaaay?

Wrong-Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay?

LOL, LMAO
LOL, LMAO
LOL, LMAO

(LOL, LMAO continues in the background)
Short text get's old, sucks at most
T.T.Y.L until your vocab grows
Someday think we could speak
I swear full text
I think I'm perplexed when I ty-y-y-y-y-y-y-pe

LOL, LMAO
LOL, LMAO
LOL, LMAO

Please let text speak go. . .

1/23/10 - Prince

Prince isn't necessarily known as a comedic singer. This can't be classified as anything else though. Unless you are Kobi LaCroix.

Apparently Prince is a Minnesota Vikings fan. To show his undying support, he created this song about the Purple and Gold. Is that a Minnesota thing? The Lakers, the Purple and Gold, were originally from Minnesota. The Vikings are Purple and Gold. The Mr. T/Barney Hybrid is Purple and wears gold chains. Luckily, this song is only about the Vikings. And it is more demented than funny in a strange, Prince/Symbol kind of way.

Prince: Purple and Gold:



Lyrics
the veil of the sky draws open
the roar of the chariots touch down
we r the ones who have now come again
and walk upon water like solid ground
as we approach the throne we won’t bow down
this time we won’t be denied

raise every voice and let it be known
in the name of the purple and gold

we come in the name of the purple and gold
all of the odds are in our favor
no prediction too bold
we are the truth if the truth can be told
long reign the purple and gold

the eyes say ready for battle
no need for sword in hand
we are all amped up like a rock n roll band
ready to celebrate every score
ready to fight the elegant war
ready to hear the crowd roar

that’s what we came for
and so much more
in the name of the purple and gold

our spirits may be tired
our bodies may be worn
but since this day is our destiny
our history – that’s why we must be
forever strong as the wind that blows the Vikings’ horn
in the name of the purple and gold

1/22/10 - Devistating Soundz

I usually don't do the same song twice (forget Chiron Beta Prime) but this one is a use of the original with new verses.

Devistating Soundz, aka DatBoy, is a hip hop artist who took Larry Platt's rendition of "Pants on the Ground", added a funky beat and a couple of verses. It sounds pretty good actually.

Here's DatBoy featuring Larry Platt with another mix of "Pants on the Ground":
