OMG. I just saw an actual music video on MTV!!!!!

Alert the media!
Take cover!
Go fire up the generator!
Get your duct tape and plastic sheeting out!
It's every man for himself (and every woman)!
Stay alive, no matter what occurs. I WILL find you! (snickers at that scene from "The Last of the Mohicans")

I'm weird, I know. ;)

Iraq me Dave Petraeus!

Sorry, it just made me giggle. Ever since I was a kid I've substituted my own silly words to songs.

"REM" "It's the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine)"


That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes,
an aeroplane - Lenny Bruce is not afraid.
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn,
world serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs.
Feed it off an aux speak,, grunt, no, strength,
The ladder starts to clatter with fear fight down height.
Wire in a fire, representing seven games, a government for hire and a combat site.
Left of west and coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck.
Team by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped.
Look at that low playing!
Fine, then.
Uh oh, overflow, population, common food, but it'll do.
Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed dummy with the rapture and the revered and the right - right.
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty psyched.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

Six o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught in foreign towers.
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn.
Locking in, uniforming, book burning, blood letting.
Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate.
Light a candle, light a votive. Step down, step down.
Watch your heel crush, crushed. Uh-oh, this means no fear cavalier.
Renegade steer clear! A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies.
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it. (It's time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (It's time I had some time alone) and I feel fine.
(I feel fine)

It's the end of the world as we know it. (It's time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it. (It's time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (It's time I had some time alone) and I feel fine.

The other night I dreamt of knives, continental drift divide. Mountains sit in a line
Leonard Bernstein. Leonid Brezhnev. Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs.
Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom!
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam book neck, right? Right.

It's the end of the world as we know it. (It's time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it. (It's time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (It's time I had some time alone) and I feel fine.

 

That was my earworm last night! Dang it! (nm) » gardenergirl

Sometimes it's impossible not to hear the alternative lyrics. For a friend of mine, "Ghost" by the Indigo Girls became "Goats". It was especially funny if you put a little bleating at the beginning of that line:

BaaaaaaaI'm in love with your goats....

 

We used to sing The Jam's 'Eton Rifles' as... » finelinebob

We used to make up our own lyrics, too. The Jam's "Eton Rifles" became "Eating Waffles." "Fire in Cairo" became "Eat My Shorts" -- believe it or not, the "F I R E I N C A I R O" rhythm worked perfectly for "E A T M Y S H O R T S." A song by Dexy's Midnight Runners had a sort of "ooh ooh aah ahh" bit in the chorus, we used to sing as "ooh ooh aah aah ee ee tookie tookie" -- kinda like the tookie tookie bird in "George of the Jungle." (I can't remember the name of that song, but it was one of the first singles -- maybe before ""Searching for the Young Soul Rebels.")

Of course, my brain -- which is made of Swiss cheese right now -- is not supplying other examples. But I will say it was fun...

Nice wander on the banks of Memory, though...
