Food Fight of Evermore

This spins Led Zeppelin's "Battle of Evermore" into a food fight of epic preportions.

The lunching line, checking out
And tensions turn to goals
A plate of peas to face the doom
Au graton potatoes

Oh, chance of a food fight
Bring it for your side
The forecast tides a course flung high
And flying spaghetti falls

Oh, load up your chow and go
Best not to eat it all
Stewed or fried debates decide
An airborne smorgasbord

I have sauces gathered, bound for a volley o' woe
I'm waiting with my noodles of parmesean, waiting with a feast to throw

The applesauce is really co-old, and freezy makes it best
And salad for your colon care
Fiber, do not forget
No, no

Chance of a food fight
Fling it high for your side
The applesauce poured down his back
And croutons on his head

Oh war is the common cry
Pick up your sporks and
The sky is filled with fruit gone bad
And kernals of old corn

Oh, go down

So while the fight rolls on, get under tables, go
Guard the prize of these chili fries, waiting with a feast to throw

The rain of corn we fought receds, when 'lo a snack attack
The knees will quake as nachos fall
Then sling fries right on back, fries-on
Sing liberation
Fries-on
Toss taters at the horde
No comfort has the pile of fries
When lies an empty bowl

Oh, chance of a food fight
Fling it with all your might
So wipe your jeans to get the cheese and fling the nachos back
Fling a snack

At last the chef is nigh and
His cries of truce rise high
When flings from the tables of two sides
The goulash blinds his eyes

Oh ahh oh
Fling a snack, fling a snack, fling a snack, fling a snack
Fling a snack, fling a snack, fling a snack, fling a snack
Duck down, go down, get down, oh
Duck down, go down, get down
Fling a snack, fling a snack, fling a snack, fling a snack
Duck down, go down, get down, oh
Duck down, go down, get down
Fling it, fling it, fling it, fling it, fling it, fling it
Fling it, fling it, fling it, fling it, fling it, fling it

Burnt Umber

This spins "Betterman" by Pearl Jam into a song about a lack of alternative crayon colors.

Paper, tears one off, and lays it down, she's got to draw
Think how, unicorns and princesses could be
As she opens the box, tips it over
No crayons in there but this one burnt umber

Her skies aren't blue and her trees aren't green, can't find another crayon
She's got no yellow, no green, no red, can't find another crayon
Can't find another crayon
Can't find another crayon
Oh

Thinkin' to herself, this rainbow's lame, not colorful
She draws an elf
Oh, remember box when crayons were full and long
Then bratty brother, stole in, stole them all
Crayons got eaten, now her crayons are gone

She wants some orange and she wants some red, can't find another crayon
She's got no purple, no pink, no thing, can't find another crayon
She lies and says she likes umber, can't find another crayon
She sees no silver, she sees no gold, can't find another crayon
Can't find another crayon
Can't find another crayon

She lost them, she can't color dreams this way
He eats them, he wants a crayon snack again

Can't find another crayon
Can't find another crayon
Can't find another crayon
Can't find another crayon

No Timmy!  That one tastes like poo!

Speed Dial a Mime

This turns "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N' Roses into a song about a mime's disregard for the English language and subsequent game-show difficulties.

He aughta study for the SAT
But grammar is not his cup of tea
This whole English thing
Well, it seems such a waste of time

The weekend's been when he paints his face
And he heads downtown to a special place
And there the faire troupe throng
Will put on a big pantomime

Go see Milo the mime
Go see Milo the mime

Years spin by on the hands of time
While this miming champion
Will fit his hands in cotton whites
And squeeze in a box again

And now Milo's up on a TV show
He's wearing a contestant sign
And posed with a question he don't know
He'll call on his mime life line

Go speed dial a mime
Go speed dial a mime
Go speed dial a mime
Speed dial a mime

What do you know?
I is a pronoun
What do you know?

What do you know?
You is a pronoun
And we is a pronoun

What do you know?
Speed dial
This is a pronoun

My yie yie yie yie yie mime
This is a pronoun
What do you know?  I is a pronoun
What do you know?  You is a pronoun
What do you know?  We is a pronoun
Now now now now now now noun
Speed dial
Speed dial a mime

You Make This Ghost Go Boo

This turns "You Make Me Feel Brand New" by The Stylistics into a song about a ghost's passion for scaring a special someone.

My grave
This lonely time inside my grave
So dark and cold inside my grave
I thought I'd not be saved

From my grave
You put the rattle in my chains
Those haunting notions in my brain
And from these I can't refrain

Know it's true
In my heart there was a chasm
Then you stirred my ectoplasm
This song is for you
'Cause I gotta boo for you

Ghostly woo
You make this ghost go boo
Your goosebumps make me swoon
You make this ghost go boo
I haunt this house 'cause you
Make this ghost go boo

Above
Whenever you are walking near
I float upon the chandelier
I'm there to scare my hauntee

Phantom friend
Come join me in this ghostly dance
And if you give me half a chance
I'll spook you and you'll mess your pants

Freak out you
I got these ghost skills sublime
White sheets get a scare every time
Hundred million ways to
Get an eeky face
On you

Ghostly woo
You make this ghost go boo
Your goosebumps make me swoon
You make this ghost go boo
I haunt this house for you

Boo

You
You make this ghost go boo
Your goosebumps make me swoon
You make this ghost go boo
I haunt this house for you

The Burrito Has Been Reheated

This spins "The Horizon Has Been Defeated" by Jack Johnson into a song about a burrito that is too hot, again.

The burrito has been reheated
By the powers of the micro-waves
Bubbling in tortillas
But baby I just have to say
That cheese can burn bad
And make you wag your tongue in pain
But as it grows colder
It just doesn't taste the same

Future indigestion
When those beans release the gas
And acid can turn to reflux
Before the pent up pressures pass
And in belly begins the rumbles
And in rumbles begins the pains
And in the end descends a wind
And that wind will leave a stain

Breeze can turn bad
And make you want to run away
But as the smells linger
The discomfort begins to change, change, change

Habanerrolaid jumble
Indigestion in the news
Because peppers are spicy
And twice they burn a hole you pay the dues
Hemorrhoidal heat's a hurting
Misery is on the loose
Because peppers are spicy
And pricey, burn a hole in your caboose
Squeeze the tube but you're out of the gel
Oh sometimes man, make you want to yell and

Cheeks can burn bad
You don't wanna rub and chafe
But as you sit longer
The discomfort begins to fade away

Ghost Pig

This spins "Don't Speak" by No Doubt into a song about a ghost pig and a love of bacon.

Spooky thing
Flying down the hallway
Trotting on the wall all muddy
I heard a squeal
Now you're chewing my cushions
I can't believe
The sofa's ruined
It looks as though, you're white as snow
And if you're real
There's something you should know

Ghost pig
I just want your bacon
The aroma you're making
Just makes the hunger worse
Ghost pig
I want all your bacon
And pork chops no mistaking
With gravy would be great

Your bacon grease
Well, it could be for frying
I'm hungry, maybe I should try the high heat
Baked or fried, I'm satisfied
With a roast on a rack or pork pot pie

Ghost pig
I just want your bacon
The aroma that you're making
Just makes the hunger worse (oh, oh no)
Ghost pig
I want all your bacon
And pork chops no mistaking
With gravy would be great

So salivating
Let's start marinating you today - with gravy.
Friccassee.  Time to eat up savory gravy.

Ghost pig
I just want your bacon
The aroma that you're making
Just makes the hunger worse (oh no)
Ghost pig
I just want your bacon
I swear my belly's aching
It makes the hunger worse
It makes my hunger worse!
I want all your bacon
And pork chops no mistaking

Ghost pig
Ghost pig
Ghost pig

I want all your bacon
And pork chops no mistaking
I know you're good
I know you're good
I know you're real good

Mmmm.  Oinky oinky oink, oinky oinky oink
Ghost.  Ghost.  Mm-hmm.  Mash mashed potatoes
Mash mashed potatoes, mash, mash
Ghost gravy would be great.   Mmm.  Mmm.
Mash mashed potatoes, mash, mashed potatoes
Mash, mash, ghost gravy would be great

Stained Laundry

This spins Aha's "Take On Me" into a song about dirty clothes and their need for professional cleaning services.

Wash it away
Stains won't go, my whites are gray
I'd spray those stains away
But they're so stubborn, sprays just won't cut thru
Trying to say
Heavy cycle's not enough today

Stained laundry (stained laundry)
Take these socks (stained laundry)
Wash these off
And I'll wait for you

So it's best to pay
This mustard mess
Just won't clean off, another way
There's no returning this purple beret
Stained laundry
This old sweater'd itch less with a softner

Stained laundry (stained laundry)
Take these socks (stained laundry)
Wash these off
And I'll wait for you

Clothes stink, it's what they say
I can't deny it's just the way I sweated today
And all these things in need of a softner
I'm trying to say
Heavy cycle won't do anyway

Stained laundry (stained laundry)
Take these socks (stained laundry)
Wash these off
And I'll wait

Stained laundry (stained laundry)
Take these socks (stained laundry)
Wash these off
And I'll wait

Foxtail Blues (Waffle Stompers)

This spins Milky Chance's "Stolen Dance" into a tale of a hike gone bad and a tragic loss of smores.

I wore boots on my hike
So that I'd never stub my toe again
They fit my feet so fine
But now they've got too heavy for me
And though I've fallen far behind
The trail will twist back again this way
I need to catch up some time
Or they will eat up my smores
Foxtail blues
Took a shortcut through the flora
Now my pants are full of thorns
Heavy waffle stompers
Pants and thorns, feeling itchy and rubbed raw
Smores are very nice
Move those waffle stompers
Foxtail blues
Took a shortcut through the flora
Now my pants are full of thorns
Heavy waffle stompers
Pants and thorns, feeling itchy and rubbed raw
Smores are very nice
Move those waffle stompers
Move those waffle stompers
Can't see forest for trees
No fun in hiking anymore
My heavy thighs are feeling pain
Caused by excess of boot
Those smores and roaring campfire
I kinda smell my way out of here
I want shoes for my hike
So that I never lose my smores again
Foxtail blues
Took a shortcut through the flora
Now my pants are full of thorns
Heavy waffle stompers
Pants and thorns, feeling itchy and rubbed raw
Smores are very nice
Move those waffle stompers
Foxtail blues
Took a shortcut through the flora
Now my pants are full of thorns
Heavy waffle stompers
Pants and thorns, feeling itchy and rubbed raw
Smores are very nice
Move those waffle stompers
Move those waffle stompers
Foxtail blues
Took a shortcut through the flora
Now my pants are full of thorns
Heavy waffle stompers
Pants and thorns, feeling itchy and rubbed raw
Smores are very nice
Move those waffle stompers
Foxtail blues
Took a shortcut through the flora
Now my pants are full of thorns
Heavy waffle stompers
Pants and thorns, feeling itchy and rubbed raw
Smores are very nice
Move those waffle stompers
Move those waffle stompers

Sing the Words Wrong

This spins "Riptide" by Vance Joy into a celebration of misheard lyrics.

I had berries, lentils, and a carp
I don't care for berry swirls in starry constellations
Oh all my pants are getting clean
And my transmission's slippy with whipped cream
Oooh, oh-oh, and the car won't start
Maybe, Gummybear is a hip spy
Breaking away from the dark side
I wanna be a Yoda fan
I can't choose when you're holding the menu and
I got stuck with the oatmeal
You're gonna sing the words wrong
There goes Scooby on a motor bike
The spy decides to sit and talk and have a New York cheesecake
This cat toy's playing with itself
That cheese is sitting with a quiet elf
Oooh, oh-oh, in a camel cart
Lady, running 'round with a tour guide
Sunny chalet on the west side
I wanna meet your weatherman
Sudoku or a game of ping pong and
I got pokemon postcards
You're gonna sing the words wrong
I just wanna, I just wanna go
In a sauna, in a sauna stay
I just gotta, I just gotta go
I should wash up, I should wash up in a major way
My parrot's messy with ice cream
Ghostly pirate whistle piper on a broken swing
Oh lady, sledding down in a luge slide
Making away with my pot pies
I gotta hold your soda can
I love Woof, then he's digging a dog bone
I got bumped by a goat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong
Or maybe, funny clown with a big tie
Eating buffet with a mob guy
I wanna try your best plum jam
I hit snooze when you're ringing a gong and
I got dunked in a moat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong
Oh lady, tipping cows on the hillside
Stepping again in the cow pies
I gotta pee, lets stop again
I achoo when you're sneezing along and
I got gum in my nose 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong, yeah
I got gum in my nose 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong

If crumbs ya threw'n, If crumbs ya threw'n

Twilight Pickle

This is the midnight snack version of "Twilight Zone" by Golden Earring.

Somewhere in a quiet kitchen
There's a guy starting to realize
That his midnight snack has got it's grip on him
It's two A.M.
It's two A.M.  (It's two A.M.)
The hunger's on  (Hunger's on)
And that refrigerator's open  (Refrigerator)
The gumbo's all gone  (The gumbo's all gone)
I weigh my selection; it's time to make a sandwich
I got butter on my fingers
Bread crumbs over there
Slices of the roast beef
And pepper in the air
Yearning a ghirkin
When my whole night spins into a frenzy
Help, I'm gripping onto a kaiser roll
Pickles almost out, seems I'm needing more
My buttery hands blunder and "ooh", I snarl
How am I to open that cold pickle jar
Soon you will have no more
When the pickles hit the floor
Soon you will have no more
When the pickles hit the floor
They're falling down in slow-mo
Destination the floor
These are not condiments
Anymore
Can't get no connection
Can't grip too
What to do?
Well the night weighs heavy on his hungry mind
This jar's full of picklebrine
When the pickles fall
He knows darn well he has to clean it
And he says, help, I'm gripping onto a kaiser roll
Pickles almost out, seems I'm needing more
My buttery hands blunder and "ooh", I snarl
How am I to open that cold pickle jar?
Soon you will have no more
When the pickles hit the floor
Soon you will have no more
When the pickles hit the floor
When the pickles hit the floor

Giddy Up, Good Knight

This takes "We Are Young" by Fun and crosses it with a squire's attempts to help a knight onto his horse.

Give me a second Knight
I need to fix your armor plate
This buckles twisted backwards
And there's fighting at the castle gate
It's up to me to get you ready
Just before the war
Thy steed's been acting hyped and restless and
Angry about before and…
I know I screwed up at this months ago
I know you'd like to make the fight
But between the flops and fuddled things
My oversaid apologies
You know, I'm trying hard to make it right
So if by the time the war's over
When you feel like falling down
I'll carry your load
Sir Knight
We are strong
So just trust your faithful squire
I'll raise you up higher
Than your horse
Sir Knight
Please hold on
If you were just a little lighter
I'd lift you up higher
Than your horse
Now I know that I'm not
Strong as I thought
I guess that I
I just thought
Maybe we could find new ways to get you up
But the Huns are back
So let's raise you up
 'Cause we need someone to carry the war
Sir Knight
We are strong
So lets get the winching wire
To raise you up higher
Than your horse
Sir Knight
Please hold on
I'll adjust the winching wire
To lift you up higher
Than your horse
Get on your horse, Good Knight    (na na...)
Just get on your horse, Good Knight    (na na...)
Get on your horse, Good Knight    (na na...)
Just get on your horse, Good Knight    (na na...)
Now you are on your side    (na na...)
You have been spinning and spun    (na na...)
So will someone come and carry the war tonight    (na na...)
The saviors never arrived    (na na...)
But I can hear those drums    (na na…)
So let's get this done and carry the war    (na na...)
Sir Knight
Please hold on
I'll adjust the winching wire
To lift you up higher
Than your horse
Sir Knight
Please hold on
So I'll set the winching wire
And raise you up higher
Than your horse
So, if by the time
The war's over
When you feel like falling down
I'll carry your load
Sir Knight

Super Stinky Man

This crosses "Do It Again" by the Kinks with a gassy superhero.

Driving to the middle of nowhere
Windows rolled down for the wind
Coughing when I'm cruising the motorway
When I'm out of breath  (Out of breath)
Because it's back there you farted
Stunk the air up again
Drive and I pray, try to blow it away
And then you do it again  (Do it again.  Do it again)
Now we found your super power
There the air we're breathing again
Super villians seek surrender
Get up, go out, do it again
And then it's back there you farted
Saved the whole town again  (Stunk the air up again)
Back there you farted
Go on, do it again  (Do it again)
And you think the world is going to get better
Pass some gas and do it again
Give 'em a fart and knock 'em over
Today you will, but where will it end
Because it's back there you farted
Stunk the air up again
Driving all day, try to air it away
Then you do it again  (Do it again. Do it again. Do it again)
In days gone by you thought you were an average guy
Average friends and a dull set of clothes
You had no suspicions events would affect those
Your dull house, your dull car, your dull job, your dull nose
But you ate some broccoli and it's saving the day
Because the way that it fermented keeps making villians say
Give up. I give up  (Give up. I give up)
Back there you farted, saved the whole town again
Back there you farted, go on and do it again  (Do it again. Do it again)
Back there you farted, saved the whole town again
Day after day they give up and I say
Do it again.  Do it again.  Do it again.
Day after day they give up and I say
Go on and do it again  (Do it again. Do it again. Do it again.)

Hobbit Love Song

This focuses the attention of "I Love You Like a Love Song" by Selena Gomez & the Scene upon JRR Tolkien's hobbit Bilbo.

Second breakfast time
In a hobbit hole home gotta stop and dine
So relax your feet, eat up and unwind
Have some herbal tea, and a yummy bun, it's an elven one
In this hobbit home, time to eat, you and I, we two alone
An edible, hobbit full, bellyful
To break my fast again
And I just want to know, Bilbo
Are you hungry?  Have an elf cake, Bilbo
I, I love you like an elf cake, Bilbo
Honey Hobbit, have an elf cake, Bilbo
And I'll braid your hairy feet-feet-feet-feet-feet
Are you hungry?  Have an elf cake, Bilbo
I, I love you like an elf cake, Bilbo
Honey Hobbit, have an elf cake, Bilbo
And I'll braid your hairy feet-feet-feet-feet-feet
Stay with me, and let no wizard take you away from me
Say goodbye to those dwarves and their questing pleas
You need food to eat, wouldn't you
Don't you feel like having elf food
It's so yummy
It's known elvenkind bake with mastery
These are flavorful, honeyful, wonderful
These are… And I just want to know, Bilbo
Are you hungry?  Have an elf cake, Bilbo
I, I love you like an elf cake, Bilbo
Honey Hobbit, have an elf cake, Bilbo
And I'll braid your hairy feet-feet-feet-feet-feet
Are you hungry?  Have an elf cake, Bilbo
I, I love you like an elf cake, Bilbo
Honey Hobbit, have an elf cake, Bilbo
And I'll braid your hairy feet-feet-feet-feet-feet
My own foot hairs
Groomed and done up, with dwarven braid cords and love
The way to your heart, that cute belly ball
A meal that goes on and on
Are you hungry?  Have an elf cake, Bilbo
I, I love you like an elf cake, Bilbo
Honey Hobbit, have an elf cake, Bilbo
And I'll braid your hairy feet-feet-feet-feet-feet
Are you hungry?  Have an elf cake, Bilbo
I, I love you like an elf cake, Bilbo
Honey Hobbit, have an elf cake, Bilbo

Grasses Get Mowed

This crosses "Ex's and Oh's" by Elle King with an inexpensive gardener and the cast of Seinfeld.

Well, I knew a little lady, and she was in a jam
So I did all her yardwork, and put out her garbage cans
Whoa, I made some bread to blow
Well she told Mister Kramer who's been spreading my name
'Cause I trimmed his roses and they're really a pain
Hey, hey, and then I met the Vandelay's
One, two, three, they refer neighbors to me
Cause I'm the best gardner that will gardner yards for cheap
One, two, three, they refer neighbors to me
The green things always grow, and I always pull the weeds
Grasses over grow-ow-own, their lawns be
Get it mow-ow-owed, they want me, to rake the ya-ar-ard
It grows you know
Grasses get mowed
Got an extra fiver pruning two whole trees
Mister Ping told the Putty's and they tipped Babu to me
My, my, how those grasses grow high
I get five, I'm the guy for the mow
Doing yardwork, weeding, and trim the hedges low
You know, that's how this gardner rolls
One, two, three, they refer neighbors to me
Cause I'm the best gardner that will gardner yards for cheap
One, two, three, they refer neighbors to me
The green things always grow, and I always rake the leaves
Grasses over grow-ow-own, their lawns be
Get it mow-ow-owed, they want me, to rake the ya-ar-ard
It grows you know
Those grasses over grow-ow-own, their lawns be
Get it mow-ow-owed, they want me, to rake the ya-ar-ard
It grows you know
Grasses get mowed
One, two, three, they refer neighbors to me
If they're short of money, do the job for a grilled cheese
One, two, three, they refer neighbors to me
The green things always grow, and I always pull the weeds
Those grasses over grow-ow-own, their lawns be
Get it mow-ow-owed, they want me, to rake the ya-ar-ard
It grows you know
Grasses over grow-ow-own, their lawns be
Get it mow-ow-owed, they want me, to rake the ya-ar-ard

Toast vs Bagel

This one is in memory of David Bowie.  His "Golden Years", as sung by one deprived of a morning bagel.

Hold on here's toast, hot, hot, hot
Hold on here's toast, hot, hot, hot
Hold on here's toast, hot, hot, hot

Don't make me choose between a
Toast or blueberry
Bagel

Hon', heat up a bagel
Breakin' my fast, day's begun
Bacon's warm and the eggs are done
Hon', heat up a bagel

Where's my bagel breakfast roll
Knife for spreading
A little cream cheese on
Hold on here's toast, hot, hot, hot
Hon', heat up a bagel

I'd really love some
Buttery toast
And dreamy cream cheese, bagel
Hon', heat up a bagel
Make a chill mug o' chocolate milk
Chug a mug back, goes fine
With my
Hon', heat up a bagel

I'll slip, twist my ankle in a pool o' tears
If someone doesn't come and tell me, "Sugar, here's…"
Hold on here's toast, hot, hot, hot
Hon', heat up a bagel

One of these days, if you just won't stop
Gonna drive down town
To the bagel shop
Gonna stack that sardine can up to the top
Just fold those seats back hatch back van
Do it up tight, but you gotta pack smart
Dozen by, dozen by, box upon box, I sincerely now
I sincerely have to say
Hon', heat up a bagel
Hon' on the toaster, Hon' on the toaster
Hon' on the toaster, Hon' on the toaster

Where's my bagel breakfast roll
Knife for spreading
A little cream cheese on
Hold on here's, here's toast, hot, hot, hot
Hon', heat up a bagel
Don't make me choose between a
Toast or blueberry
Bagel
Hon', heat up a bagel
Hon' on the toaster, Hon' on the toaster
Hon' on the toaster, there's a bagel setting
I'll slip, twist my ankle in a pool o' tears
If someone doesn't come and tell me, "Sugar, here's…"
Hold on here's toast, hot, hot, hot
Hold on here's toast, hot, hot, hot
Hold on here's toast, hot, hot, hot

Gum

This crosses "One" by U2 with the frustration of stepping on gum.

Did it lose it's flavor
Or was it hard to chew
Well it was on the paver, and … ew... now
It's sticking to my shoe
I got
Gum stuck
Gum gross
When it's in my treads
It really blows
Gum stuck
Off the grubby ground
With each step it's making
That sucky sound
Did it not blow bubbles
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
Too wet to hold it in your hand
And so you went and spit it out
Well it's…
Chewed up
Chewed out
It's sticking fast, now I wanna shout
It’s gum, stuck with stones and twigs
I drag my
Shoe in the gutter
Shoe in the gutter
Gum
Did your gum go lose it's sweetness
Did your gum decay your teeth
Now your gum's stuck on my sneaker
It's all gooey underneath
It's on my shoe
Chewed up and used
I try to scrape it
But it's really fuzed
It's gum
What'cha gonna do
Well you
Spit out another
And now it's on my shoe
You put
Gum under tables
Gum behind the door
Gum under tables
Gum it up some more
You made it all sticky
And spit it on the floor
And I can't condone you now
Not anymore
Cuz now it's on my foot
Gum chewed
Gum stick
Gum's done
It's time to get rid of it
Gum's done
Tasteless spittle
Slobber
A little
Gum's done
What'cha gonna do
It's time to
Unwrap another
Unwrap another
One…. Gum
Chew
Make it.  Make it.  Make it
Bubble  (Does it)  Bubble
Chew it up
Chew it up
Bubble  (Make it)  Bubble
