Songs for mediocrity

carl669 thought this was worth mentioning said Thu, May 12th 2016 at 3:17pm ET

just mediocrizing popular song verses. feel free to join in. or not.

it's my perogative.
i can do what i want to do.
until the cops taze me.

i got some change in my pocket
but it isn't making any noise
because i'm sitting down.

ain't nothing gonna break my stride
except that bunyon.
it really fucking hurts.

won't you take me to, funky town.
but i'll drive.
because i have GPS.

my grandma and your grandma
don't know each other.

Tutti mi chiedono, tutti mi vogliono,
donne, ragazzi, vecchi, fanciulle.
Sono un po ' pervertito.

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
Then remember you get seasick

Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m a pretty regular person

Get your motor running / get out on the highway
Drive to the store, then back home again.

It's all right if you love me / it’s all right if you don't
Uh, this one comes pre-mediocretized.

Nights in white satin
means mornings doing laundry

There's a lady who's sure
all that glitters is gold
is about a mining operation
in the Yukon Territory

On a dark desert highway
cool wind in my hair
good thing it's a ragtop
'cause my car don't have air

Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch them roll away again

I'm too lazy to mess with it further. Leisure calls.

- @f00l - I could have sworn I saw him perform that song at the Monterey Pop Festival, but you know what they say; If you can remember the 60's you weren't really there.

Oh, say can you see
By the dawn's early light
Any reason not
To go back to bed?

Long live the pioneers
Rebels and mutineers
Go forth and have no fear
While I sit safely here
Watching TV

Another one I don't wanna mess with

Coming Down Again
The Rolling Stones

Coming down again, coming down again
Coming down again, coming down again
Share your thoughts, there's nothing you can hide
She was dying to survive
I was caught, oh, taken for a ride
She was showing no surprise
Coming down again, coming down again
Where are all my friends, coming down again
Coming down again, coming down again
On the ground again, coming down again
Slipped my tongue in someone else's pie
Tasting better ev'ry time
She turned green and tried to make me cry
Being hungry it ain't no crime
Coming down again, coming down again
All my time's been spent, coming down again

Welcome to the jungle
We have trees and snakes

Hello from the outside
I think I butt dialed you once but hung up really fast when I saw my phone calling you

Cause I'm back in neutral earth tones

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a bus pass

I want to be your can of peas you use to hit a stray nail and end up poking a hole in it and having peas for dinner because you didn't want to go out to the garage and find the real hammer

No woman, no mildly unsettling feeling something might be a little off

You gotta try for your privilege to have a mild celebration (but only if you bring enough cake to share with everyone)

Cause the boyz in the hood are always firm but fair and willing to find common ground

On a long and lonesome highway,
East of Omaha,
I realized I was in Iowa,
and cried for my mah-mah.

The Devil went down to Georgia
Looking for some Meh deals
Found himself in a bind on the east coast
Cause the deal was sold out when he woke up

Do you know the way to San Jose?
No worries, got my GPS on.

Just a city boy
Living in a lonely world
Hopped aboard a midnight train
going to the railyard.

Come on Eileen!
Or we'll be too late for work

Pretty woman,
Hit me with a sexual harassment suit.

Purple Rain, Purple Rain,
Is what you get when you shake up a can of grape soda then open it.

Why do birds suddenly appear,
Every time you are near?
You must really need a bath 'cause they're buzzards.

Always Look on the Meh Side of Life
By Monty Python in The Indistinguished Life of Brian

Life's humdrum and death's no great shakes , it's true,
You'll see it's all a deal
Keep 'em laughing with indifference as you go.
Just remember that the last mediocre laugh is at you!

Always look on the meh side of life

If life doesn't seem jolly rotten,
There's something middling you've forgotten!
And that's to vote and comment in the forums and buy Two for Tuesday unexceptional deals,
When you're not feeling in the dumps,
Be second rate chumps,
Just point your middle finger and BUY IT -- or click the round button instead

And always look on the meh side of life

Always look on the Meh side of life

Mmm... bop.

but you say he's just a friend.
and i know you're full of shit.

- @carl669 hmmm, thanks, but at the end of the current karaoke video it says to post new entries in the video discussion thread, i don't actually think the one you posted is that 'general' thread that Irk mentioned.

Cuz baby we were born to run
because darwin and lions and dinosaurs and stuff

Down in Jungleland
where animals are hungry and want to eat you

We'll meet 'neath that giant Exxon sign
because the predators don't like the bright light

Tear drops on the city, Bad Scooter searching for his groove
because Bad Scooter's little girl just got eaten by that lion
