Bill Bailey's love ballad, which "encompasses all aspects of love betrayal, hatred and depression." It shifts from a traditional ballad to a vitrolic parody halfway through, (and the cute moment of watching a duck in the park comes back):īoth: There are things I long to tell youīoth: No, I don't want your flowers anymore!.
Sam Kinison's infamous "You Fucking Whore" (preceded by his equally infamous "emotional tampon" rant) expresses how every guy has felt after a bad break-up, but wouldn't admit for fear of seeming like a Jerkass."These Ghoulish Things" is a gothic song with a man describing somebody as various horrible things in a complementary way, and then getting confused when she takes offense. "Now He's Gone" is a parody of 1950s Teenage Death Songs songs like "The Leader of the Pack", about a girl who kills her boyfriends before they can cheat on her. In "Imagine You Were Mine" the singer is a Stalker with a Crush, and the final verse reveals he's composing this in prison, having broken the restraining order. There's a good reason Stephen Lynch rebuffs enthusiastic female applause when he announces he's going to sing a "song for the ladies.".They also wrote "Title Of The Song," the perfect generic love song for all occasions. Da Vinci's Notebook has the weird-context "Window-Washing Cowboy," which is by far the most tragic tale about doomed love you will ever hear if you only hear songs about window washers.The Capitol Steps did exactly the same joke as the Arrogant Worms in "Nerd Perfect Blues" and "Yuppie Love".Mötley Crüe wrote a song called "This Ain't A Love Song" in their Saints of Los Angeles album.The Axis Of Awesome's "How to Write a Love Song" is a parody of R&B love ballads, right down to commenting on a random spoken word section, a key change and the various elements in the music video.The Arrogant Worms wrote the weird context "Log Into You," about a computer geek with pick-up lines like I gotta open up your motherboard - put my Pentium inside." Pancreas ", guy who loves his pancreas."Melanie" was an earlier Stalker with a Crush style love ballad that ends with him jumping out of the 16th story window above her apartment to get her attention.From the same album Confessions Part 3 continues the theme of confessions by being way too honest with his significant other.I like to feel the warm spot on your chair Possibly the funniest one of these is "Do I Creep You Out?", a stalker-related parody of overblown love songs (and specifically American Idol-winner Taylor Hicks' song "Do I Make You Proud"):.He also wrote a mild-affection-song, "Good Enough For Now." He's parodied every sub-genre, too, from Prince's leers in "Wanna Be Ur Lover" ( I don't have a library card, but do you mind if I check you out?) to break-up songs in "You Don't Love Me Anymore" ( I still remember the way that you laughed / when you threw me down the elevator shaft), "One More Minute" ( I'd rather clean all the bathrooms in Grand Central Station with my tongue / Than spend one more minute with you), and "Since You've Been Gone" ( I feel almost as bad as I did / when you were still here). "Weird Al" Yankovic does at least one of these on every album, such as "I Was Only Kidding" and "I'm So Sick of You".Virginia O'Brien sang the dysfunctional torch song "Say That We're Sweethearts Again", later covered by Dorothy Shay (the "Park Avenue Hillbillie") and Harley Quinn.
