"Weird Al" Wednesday - September 17th

Good afternoon. My creativity has been lacking a lot lately. Mostly due to my cold. I've been sneezing like an MF the last few days. So here is my version of Christopher Cross' Sailing....

Snnneeezing,
Sucks my energy awayyyyy
a woe, woe, woe (is me)......

Any other songs about sneezing or just plain sickness?

Happy Wednesday.

"Weird Al" Wednesday - 9/10

I really don't have a song idea today so I won't force it. It's been a slow news week anyway. We can sing about Britney Spears' triumphant return to MTV's Video Music Awards or Kim Jong il taking a turn for the worse? Let me know if you have any good lyrics. Happy Wednesday.

"Weird Al" Wednesday - September 3rd

A few weeks ago I created a song parody for the Democratic nominee Barack Obama. So in the tradition of the 'equal time rule' for reporting political views, I have a little something for you about the Republican nominee John McCain. I asked Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam to sing this revised version of his eccentric song Yellow Ledbetter....

(guitar intro)

War vet

From Arrriiiizona!

The country said I wanna that Sen-a-tor

Once I saw him, he's as oooold as dirt

Then again, he may be our next president... yeah

Oh this Republican is gonna wish all your problems away yeah...

And he trained with the Naval Academy and knows what it is to be an America

And he went to Alaska

And found Sarah Palin to run by his side.

Their gonna fix the economy

you're gonna have more money to box or to bag
Ah yeah ehhhhhhhh...

Will you vote for John?
To the White House

Is it his time to saaaaaave?

I see Dems, frown about his policiiiieeesss yeah

And I know and I know I just want John McCaaaaaiiiinnnn

He's the guy (guitar solo)

Ooooh I see

McCain and Palin to show there's something else

Their gonna fix the economy

you're gonna have more money to box or to bag

Ah yeah ehh....

Will you vote for John?
To the White House

Is it his time to save?

I see Dems, frown about his policiiiieeesss yeah

And I know and I know I just want John McCaaaaaiiiinnnn
I just want John McCaaaaaiiiinnnn

I just want John McCaaaaaiiiinnnn

John

John wanna

Oh... yeah... oooh...

(guitar outro)

Don't you love the irony that a staunch Democrat like Eddie Vedder would sing a song about a staunch Republican like John McCain? Thank you for stopping by Eddie.

Any other songs about John McCain folks?
Happy Wednesday.

"Weird Al" Kiss

Karen wins a Lion Kiss Award for her parody song of I Got Friends In Low Places by Garth Brooks:

I got friends in blog places
Where the Mt. Cat lists
and his lyrics chases our blues away
And we're all ok.
We're not big on Heather Mills
And Doc likes to trace dollar bills.
Oh I've got friends in blog places.

Enjoy guurrllfrien'!:

"Weird Al" Wednesday - August 27th

Y'all are in for a big treat today. Doc & The Mountain Cat have always considered Piano Man by Billy Joel as our theme song. A long time ago, we played around with the lyrics of this song to match the times and the friends we've known. Well it is time to update this song once again to celebrate all the 'Us People' friends who visit our website daily.
This one is for all of you:

(Piano Intro....then harmonica)

It's nine o'clock on a Wednesday
The YJKOBT crowd logs in
There's man named Doc blogging with me
Making fun with his satire and rants.

He says, "Mt. Cat do you have a song for 'Weird Al' Wednesday?,
Or an idea for Friday's Top Ten List?
As I have a funny Tuesday Word Game
And a long list for Thursday's Random Thoughts."

blog blog, bloggy bloggah
blog blog bloggy blaaaahhh bloggg

Chorus:
Write us a blog your the Blogger Men
Write us a blog tonight
Well, we're all at work and feel melancholy
But now you make us feel alright

Now A Whole New G is a friend of ours
Who leaves us comments with glee
And Mommy Wants Vodka is quick with a joke
As there's no place she'd rather be

My sister Christine says "Vin, your blog is killing me."
As our Cousin Pat is no where to be found.

And As American As Apple Pie wants to be a dancing star
If the right people find her blog space

blog blog, bloggy bloggah
blog blog bloggy blaaaahhh bloggg

Now LeapO' Faith is mortgage-brokerist
Who never has time for her own blog!
And she's talking with Micky
Who's still in Malihini
And probably will be for life

And Knight is practicing Cabaret
While Matt-Man slowly gets Wild Irish stoned
Then Karen is Smiling Through All of It And Jay is the Cynical Bas-tarddddd!

Chorus:
Write us a blog your the Blogger Men
Write us a blog tonight
Well, we're all at work and feel melancholy
But now you make us feel alright

It's a pretty good crowd for a hump day
And we haven't heard from Jahooni for a while.

Yet Leighann and Lu' and still blogging with me
To bring us all a big smile.

And Sassy Mama's Cafe is a carnival
And Bina thinks it's Just Another Day

And there's Hammer, Sunshine, Dana, Dianne, Dust Bunny Hostage & Disaster Chick.
Who all say "Man, your blogs are real bizarre!"

blog blog, bloggy blogga
blog blog bloggy yo gabba gaaabbbaaa

Chorus:
Write us a blog your the Blogger Men
Write us a blog tonight
Well, we're all at work and feel melancholy
But now you make us feel alright

(Piano Outro)

My apologies if I left anyone.
Now I want to hear your song parodies. I'll accept songs about anyone who visits this YJKOBT world.

Happy Wednesday.

"Weird Al" Wednesday - August 20th

My cell phone busted yesterday so I had to buy a new one.

So to celebrate, Paul McCartney will sing a song for us replacing his lyrics to Hey Jude!

Sing it Paul!:

My cell phone,

It broke real bad,

But I bought a new Samsung,

That beats my old Motor-ooo-la.

Remember they aren’t built to last,

Then someday soon,

You’ll have to buy one better.

Russell Crowe,

Threw a phone at someone.

He said he’s sorry,

And was for-give-e-en.

I should have followed his lead,

And threw a cell phone,

At my ex-wife Heather.

Heather! Heather! Heather! Heather! Heather! Heather! (Mills) Ohhhh!!

Nah, nah, nah nah a nah nah, nah a nah nah, Cell Phones.

Ring, ring, ring, ring a ring ring, ring a ring ring, Cell Phones.

Chime, chime, chime chime a chime chime, chime a chime chime, Cell Phones.

Baby Got Back ring tone, Baby Got Back ring a ring tone, Cell Phones.

Enter Sandman ring tone, Enter Sandman ring a ring tone, Cell Phones.

Cell! Cell! Cell, Cell, Cell, Cell, Cell, Cell!! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

(Song Fade)

Yeah, I have serious issues, I know. Any other songs about cell phones? Happy Wednesday.

- The Mountain Cat

PS: Remember Gordon Gekko's cell phone circa 1988? >>>>

Like a Rolling Clone

Last night I saw Bob Dylan at the Prospect Park Band Shell in Brooklyn. As he warbled through his lyrics, I got an epiphany for today's "Weird Al" Wednesday parody when he opened the show with Rainy Day Woman #12 & #35.

Also, inspiring me is that news story last week about the puppies that were the first commercial cloning.

(Plus, I recently saw Kate Blachett's 'cloning' performace of Bob Dylan is the film 'I'm Not There'.)

Enjoy:

Well, they'll clone ya when your doggie's down six feet.

They'll clone ya when you're feelin' the defeat.
They'll clone ya when you're drunk and hit the floor.

They'll clone ya when your girl does ignore.

But instead of buying that iPhone,

Everybody must get cloned!

Well, they'll clone ya when your friends are acting cold.

They'll clone ya just a-like so you double will act bold.

They'll clone ya when your husband doesn’t come home.

Then they'll clone ya when your talking sex on the phone.

But instead of buying that iPhone,

Everybody must get cloned!

Wow that can be a radio advertisement!

Any other songs about cloning folks?

Happy Wednesday.

Wow an award!

WNG wins a Lion Kiss Award for yesterday's '"Weird Al" Wednesday with this Creedence Clearwater Revival parody:

Long as I remember McCain been comin down.Clouds of mystry pourin confusion on the ground.Good men through the ages, tryin to find the sun;And I wonder, still I wonder, can Barack stop McCain?

Enjoy your award!:

Please visit WNG's blog: A Whole New G.

Also, Doc and I will be hanging at Shea Stadium today! Go Padres!

Happy Thursday.

"Weird Al" Wednesday - August 6, 2008

Today's song parody is for our Presidential candidate Barack Obama. So lets all dance like it's the Macarena:

When I talk they call me Barack Obama,
And the press boys say I'm an Islama.
They all want to be me, can't be me,
So they all lobby and decide to side with me.
Vote with me, change with me,
And if I'm good you can come to the White House with me.

*CHORUS*
This man from Illinois is called Barack Obama,
He is more than just a Democratic complaina.
This man from Illinois is called Barack Obama,
HEY BARCK OBAMA! Ahai!

Now don't you worry about my Vice Pres,
The man who may be Johnny Edwards.
You can't stand him, your not impressed with him.
He's still good so I - ha ha ha!
Now, come on, what was I supposed to do?
John Kerry is out of the race, and his polices are sooo fine!

*CHORUS*
This man from Illinois is called Barack Obama,
He is more than just a Democratic complaina.
This man from Illinois is called Barack Obama,
HEY BARCK OBAMA! Ahai!

Anyone have any other Barack Obama songs for me? Happy Wednesday.

"Weird Al" Wednesday

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

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.

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!
