Since we had so much fun last Wednesday making up song lyrics about Tila Tequila, I decided to start a new feature here at YJKOBT. It is called "Weird Al" Wednesday. A tribute to the legendary song parodist ''Weird Al'' Yankovic.
This is how we play: I pick a topic, then we make up song lyrics to the beat of popular songs based on that topic.
Today's topic is Gas Prices.
Let's kick off the fun with my version of the irksome, yet ever popular John Mayer song 'Say'.
Enjoy:
Take all of your hard earned dollars,
To the gas stations.
Which causes your money problems.
And then you feel frustration.
Instead you need to,
Gas when you need to gas
Gas when you need to gas
Gas when you need to gas
Gas when you need to gas
Gas when you need to gas
Gas when you need to gas
Gas when you need to gas
Gas when you need to gas
Which causes your money problems.
And then you feel frustration.
Instead you need to,
Gas when you need to gas
Gas when you need to gas
Gas when you need to gas
Gas when you need to gas
Gas when you need to gas
Gas when you need to gas
Gas when you need to gas
Gas when you need to gas
You need to start walking.
Fighting the oil men instead.
Living without your Moped.
Knowing you’d be better off instead.
Instead you need to,
Gas when you need to gas
Gas when you need to gas
Gas when you need to gas
Gas when you need to gas
Gas when you need to gas
Gas when you need to gas
Gas when you need to gas
Gas when you need to gas
*Cough* Sorry if I sang out of tune. I hope that made sense? Then again, neither does the original John Mayer song! Hee hee.
Fighting the oil men instead.

*Cough* Sorry if I sang out of tune. I hope that made sense? Then again, neither does the original John Mayer song! Hee hee.
So does anyone else have any song ideas about the dismal state of Gas Prices?
Ohhh I bet you have goodies for me. I can't wait!

The Beatles.."Yesterday"
Yesterday, I needed gas to drive, so far away
Now it looks as though I cannot pay.
Oh, I believe in drive away.
Suddenly, something in my mirror looked funny to me,
There's a statey and he's chasing me.
Oh, yesterday I drove away.
So don't it always seem to go
You don't know what you've got 'till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a Mobil Station
Sung as George W to a Jimmy Buffett tune:
As the son of a son of an oil man, I went up the White House for adventure.
Invasions for crude and other bogus moves now has the entire country in endenture.
Funny stuff. Yes please include the song and artist of the song you are parody-ing as some people may not be familiar with the song. Thanks!
to the tune of Hey Jude:
Hey Achmed, what's with the oil?
Fork it over, I'm going bro-oh-oh-oke.
Remember, we took out Mr. Saddam.
So open the valves and get it flo-oh-oh-ing.
LMAO @ Achmed ROTF
Mister, Sister
Oh the time has come
you know that you're not the only one
To pay O.K.
Where you going
What you looking for
You know those boys
Don't want to pay no more to you
It's true
You're motoring
What a price for flight
No more gas tonight
You'll be broke alright
Now it's allll bad,
Because I need gas.
Now it's alllll bad,
I siphoned Jack's gas, I need the gas, gas, gas!
Jumping Jack Flash by the Rolling Stones
I got my first 5 dollar (a gallon)fill up,
Over at the Sun-o-co.
It felt like my headache bled,
now it cost six nine nine (a gallon)
Summer of 69 by Bryan Adams.
Sung to Puff the Magic Dragon
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Little jackie paper loved that rascal puff,
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. Oh
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee.
Pump the gas if you’re able in the land of Georgie B.
And leave some money for food you’ll need to feed the family.
Little men wearing bed sheets love the grip they seeze.
They tighten their grasp till the balls turn blue and bring us to our knees. Oh
Pump the gas if you’re able in the land of Georgie B.
And leave some money for food you'll need to feed the family.
Pump the gas if you’re able in the land of Georgie B.
And leave some money for food you need to feed the family.
ah ahh ahhh ahhhh ahhhhh ahhhhhh ahhhhhhh, LETS GAS!
Pull out your wallet and sing the blues.
Lets Dance by David Bowie
Exxon and Getty, were the popular stations and the king and the queen of butane. Riding around with a full tank of gas and the radio on.
Scences from an Italian Gas Station - Billy Joel
We got gas to the left,
Gas to the right,
And I can't afford a thing!
Fins by Jimmy Buffett
I'm Too Sexy by Right Said Fred
I'm too poor to fill my tank.
Too poor to fill my tank.
I have no more money in the bank.
Well, its one for the Arabs,
Two for the Bush's,
Three to get ready,
Now go, cat, go.
But dont you, laugh at my crude oil blues.
You can do anything but lay off of my crude oil blues.
Gas! How high can you go?
Bankrupt? What's a brother know?
Shell! Public Enemy number one!
Bring the Noise by Public Enemy
Apologies to the Beatles for stealing I Want To Hold Your Hand...
Oh Yeah I'll tell you something
I hope you'll understand
When I see gas prices
I want to slap Uncle Sam
I want to slap Uncle Sam
I want to slap Uncle Sam
And when I pump it I feel
pissed off...inside
It's just a feeling that this driver
I can't hide, I can't hide
I can't hide
Oh Yeah he, has got that something
I think you'll understand
When I see gas prices
I want to slap Uncle Sam.....
I wish that I could Rap.
AC/DC Ride On
But I ain't too young to worry
And I ain't too old to cry
When a gas prices gets me down
Got another empty gas tank
And another empty wallet
Ain't too young to admit it
And I'm not too old to gripe
I'm just another American citizen
That's why I'm lonely
I'm so lonely
But I know what I'm gonna do -
I ain't gonna ride on
Ride on
Ride on, standing on the edge of the road
Ride on, thumb in the air
Ride on, one of these days I'm gonna
Ride on, change my evil ways
Till then I'll just keep griping on
It's Waffle Cone Wednesday at TCBY. The kids and I are outta here!

No one knows what it's like to be the gas man. I am a sad man. Behind the crude price.
No one knows what it's like
To be hated
when I inflated
all the oil prices
But in my dreams
Your tanks are empty
As my conscience seems to be.
No one knows what it's like
To raise these prices
Like I do
And you blame me!
Behind the crude price.
- Behind Blue Eyes by The Who
These are really good !!
I pay you,
You gas me,
These prices are worse than sod-o-my.
The Barney song
I want to price gauge you like an animal,
I want to feel inside your wa-llet.
I want to price gauge you like an ANIMAL!
You know inflation is flawed.
You make me richer than God!
- Closer by Nine Inch Nails
No WNG, I think this means they are done playing, "raise the price, make the profit game" so now we will think were doing OK, at $3.40 a gal.
It's an old game, this is just a newer version.
Nobody's done playin' here in NY...regular was still $4.39/gallon on the corner of my block this am! I'm gonna have to go 'all in' just to fill my tank...! = 0
Does this mean that Doc has mystical powers?
Yes G... And you can see that I have Minions too!
I just filled up this morning at $3.54. I feel like a huge bargain.
$3.73 here in podunk TN
Sing it Baby!!!!!
Still 3.80 somethin' here at in Lower Alabama but we are 40 min. from the beach. I think that makes it automatically "gas gouge the tourists" higher.
There's a lady who knows
All that glitters is gold
And she is using it to buy
Gasoline
A little Led for your head.
Minions, I REALLY like that.
*evil* BUH WA HA HA HA!
Jen, I prefer unleaded for my truck thank you!
High test for the head please!
Big Oil, don't Cry-yie-yie

Big Oil, don't Cry-yie-yie
you've got no alibi

25%. Yep. That's about right.
Mickey T. rocks the comments alleluia
So does WNG
alleluia
VERY fun day!
I start to laugh at these and then I remember my last trip to the Gas Man and it makes me cry.
Oh my God these are GREAT! But I like Mountain Cat's best. I'm not sure if I like the Yesterday or the Barney Song. I hate that I missed it but I was at the hospital with hubby!
Bina, I would NEVER really drive away. Parody Parody Parody.....
