What a Horrible World

A few months ago, I wrote a bunch of parody songs.  My objective was to take some of the most beloved songs and turn them totally upside down, inside out.  I changed the lyrics into themes about hatred, murder, war, etc.  As you'll quickly see, the lyrics are explicitly vindictive.  Pure venom on steroids.  All of them are written in the same vein as Weird Al Yankovic, minus the predictable silliness.

I'm not even remotely concerned about intellectual property rights.  Because, to be perfectly blunt, nobody in their write mind would ever right such loathsome material.  However, I do think this particular musical niche has merit.  I just haven't figured out the presentation/performance aspect.

Included is the link to the karoake video and the sonofsaf-styled parody.

Louis Armstrong:

What a Wonderful World (karaoke version)

I've seen trees of green, red roses too
I seen 'em bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
I've seen skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day
The dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What are wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I've seen friends shaking hands
Sayin' How do you do?
They're really sayin' "I love you"
I hear babies cryin'
I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know

And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Ohh, yeahhh

What a Horrible World (Sonofsaf)

I’ve seen men so mean, dead bodies too
I seen ‘em killed, for me and you
And you see for yourself
What a horrible world

I’ve seen graves of death, there is no light
The hell that we pay
The wars that we fight
And you see for yourself
What a horrible world

The crosses on the tombstones, we ask each other why
All the other races, of soldiers who will die
I’ve seen bombs shaking lands
Prayin’ hell is for you
They’re really sayin’ “I hate you”
I see armies dyin’
It’s all for show
They’ll never learn, we reap what we sow

And you see for yourself
What a horrible world
Yes, you see for yourself
What a horrible world
Ohh, nooo
