#60. Trapped In The Hell

Screech died from lung cancer yesterday at the age of 44.

Back in the early 90's, I'd occasionally watch an episode of Saved by the Bell.  But from the perspective of a guy in his mid 20's, the series was just exceptionally annoying.  Had I been 15 years younger at the time, maybe I would've embraced it.  Though that's doubtful.

Regardless, Dustin Diamond was easily the best actor at Bayside.  Had a tremendous stage presence.  So I thought a parody tribute was in order.  Zack Morris had a rock'n'roll band on the show called The Zack Attack.  But their lead single "Friends Forever" was especially weak.  As in abysmal.  So I went with the more recognizable Saved By The Bell theme song.  Its explicit zaniness could only be matched by last month's Capitol Hill insurrection.

RIP Dustin Diamond.  1977 - 2021.



Trapped in the Hell
sonofsaf

Well I’m done with all the mourning
Don’t give a shit about the warnings
Even though a couple of policemen just died
In chess you move your rooks
Best advice I ever took
I'm with the former Clown-in-Chief to see a real drive by

It's alright 'cuz I’m trapped in the hell

If a Trumper plants a bomb
I think that might be wrong
But the Donald needs his army to fight
Special love that he will share
Likes to play truth or dare
No forgiveness any sorrow gonna be a fight

It's alright 'cuz I’m trapped in the hell

It's alright 'cuz I’m trapped in the
It's alright 'cuz I’m trapped in the

It's alright 'cuz I'm trapped in the hell


Saved by the Bell (theme song)
Scott Gale

When I wake up in the morning
And the alarm gives out a warning
And I don't think I'll ever make it on time
By the time I grab my books
And I give myself a look
I'm at the corner just in time to see the bus fly by

It's alright 'coz I'm saved by the bell

If the teacher pops a test
I know I'm in a mess
And my dog ate all my homework last night
Riding low in my chair
She won't know that I'm there
If I can hand it in tomorrow it will be alright

It's alright 'coz I'm saved by the bell

It's alright 'coz I'm saved by the
It's alright 'coz I'm saved by the

It's alright 'coz I'm saved by the bell


 

In 2001, Dustin Diamond lost his home and filed for bankruptcy.  So he started slinging t-shirts to raise cash.  I used to swing shirts on college campuses back in the early 1990's.  So we have that in common.  The Jew thing too.  And people think I'm funny.  But that's about it.

Please do not share this information with anyone related to Dustin Diamond, the cast and crew of Saved by the Bell, t-shirt vendors, former President Donald J. Trump and/or Jews.
