Stand up with Saf


I just wrote a parody of the Tammy Wynette classic "Stand by your Man."  My version's name is "Stand up with Saf."  Same syllable progression and general level of excitement.  It encapsulates my love of salmon and stampede prevention.  Two subjects you rarely hear spoken of in the same song.

Stand by your Man

Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man.
You'll have bad times
And he'll have good times,
Doin' things that you don't understand
But if you love him you'll forgive him,
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him oh be proud of him,
'Cause after all he's just a man
 

Stand by your man,
Give him two arms to cling to,
And something warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely
 

Stand by your man,
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man
Stand by your man,
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man


Stand up with Saf


Most times the fish he eats is salmon
Often grilled and seared in just one pan
They’ll be bad rhymes
But these aren’t bad crimes
Wishin’ to assist our motherland
Still some will hate him, oh and berate him
Yinzers know he’s hard to understand
He offers too challenging a plan
 

Stand up with Saf
He’s one of the brave and few
And even though kosher Jew
His concerns aren’t baloney
 

Stand up with Saf
Just wants to save life and limb
Stop saying he makes you all laugh
Stand up with Saf
Stand up with Saf
Just wants to save life and limb
Stop saying he makes you all laugh
Stand up with Saf


Here's an old school video for stylistic comparison.  youtube.com/watch?v=f2KP9fYZUWA

I'll probably do a similar ripoff of Dio's "Stand up and Shout."  And maybe the Steel Dragon version from the movie Rockstar starring what's his face Boogie Nights guy.  I'm quite certain many will give a shit.
