What Will It Be Tomorrow?
28So, I had an idea to write a Meh parody to the first part of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire". Why? I don't know. After all these years I still can't explain why stuff like this pops into my head and demands to be written. :-)
You can hear the original song at .
Batteries and thermal mugs, air filters, touchscreen gloves
Bluetooth keyboards, ice cream makers, weather radios
Vacuum bottles, juice extractors, televisions, Ninja blenders

So good! Lucky your head is like that.
I am impressed! Back in the old days, before Geezerhood struck me, I was pretty good at parodies. I think this one is great.
Official Goat Stamp of Approval - Nice Job!
p.s. I think @katylava should sing it on front page video ;)
@mfladd Nice goat.
@mfladd That's a nice goat. Now I can't tell you to bleat it.
These needs to be produced! Who are the talented people around here?
@Teripie -
@matthew. -Or Weird Al.
Meh. Do it Mad Ape Den style.
@curtw4 Egad, that sounds difficult. I think I'll stick with this type of mad ape:
Please make @matthew sing this. It needs to be. It's got the rhyme and meter and everything.
Poll, who should sing this (add more if you think of them):
@Moose
@matthew
@katylava I vote for a splice of everyone singing it one line at a time. It could be made extra glorious by having all our meh characters , new and old, in the mix.
@katylava
@katylava @galmaegi
@jaremelz Write me up a saxophone line too :)
Aaargh, I just noticed I made a mistake in the lyrics. I repeated an item: "air beds" and "blow-up beds". The easiest one to change would be "air beds" since it doesn't need to rhyme with anything. Any suggestions?
@parodymandotcom you have nothing about drones. Drones are very important here.
@parodymandotcom -
Steak knives, or
Cat toys, or
glasses (glass sets).
I really want to say Built NY, but won't work.
This exercise shows how much you covered - excellent job!
@KDemo Bubba Kegs!
Hey @JonT or other Meh forum guru, will you replace "Air beds" in the lyrics above with "Tool sets"?
@parodymandotcom Now wouldn't that make 'tools' redundant, as it's in the following line?
@narfcake Wow, I thought I would get at least a little older before my mind went away. Ok, @JonT, also change "Tools and luggage" to "Fans and luggage".
@parodymandotcom Maybe you should wait until you hammer out all of the kinks and just post an updated version in a comment.
Comforters, soap dispensers, deep fryers, "Discover with Dr Cool" cheap-ass scientific toys, watches, toothbrushes, are some things I'm ashamed to say, I've bought this past year.
Wow, it looks like we're well on the way to another verse!
@parodymandotcom - You used @Lichme's Meh Stalker, right?
@KDemo I had no idea that existed! I used @JonT's super secret forum code (eyes only, don't share it with any other body parts): https://meh.com/forum?category=deals
