Easily one of my better parodies. Hey, it's one of the most instantly recognizable songs worldwide.
Lyrics are sharp. Meter and tempo are spot-on. Rhyme and rhythm, baby. Yesterday!
Definitely dogshit... as opposed to human. |
Here's my latest "Oz Dump." Spotted and christened on 8-25-22. Underneath the shadows of the Anderson St. Bridge on the North Side.
Crudite
sonofsaf
Crudite is another name for veggie tray
Mehmet shopping for his wife that day
Oh, so costly the crudite
Luckily, they had salsa and guacamole
Bag of carrots and some broccoli
Oh, crudite’s a veggie tray
Why did Oz blame Joe
Biden knows, John shouldn’t say
Oz does not belong
In the Senate of PA
Crudite all of Mehmet’s homes are on display
He has two or maybe ten they say
But, so costly that crudite
Why did Oz blame Joe
Biden knows, John shouldn’t say
Oz does not belong
In the Senate of PA
Crudite all of Mehmet’s homes are on display
He has two or maybe ten they say
But, too costly is crudite
Yum yum yum yum yum yum yum.
(Mason suggested that instead of the yum, yum, yum closer, you can substitute "Please vote for John Fetterman.")
Yesterday
The Beatles
Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away.
Now it looks as though they're here to stay.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be.
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
Why she had to go?
I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong.
Now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Why she had to go?
I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong.
Now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm.
From Anfield Stadium in Liverpool (2008). #YNWA
This is my second parody of Yesterday. Back in June I wrote a tribute to the Republican Attorney General candidate in Arizona, election denier Abe Hamadeh (last name pronounced he is gay). #1287. Hamadeh.
That one was a tad more objectionable and offensive. As opposed to this version of "Crudite" which I honestly believe has significant commercial upside. Best delivered in the waning days of the campaign by my friends Brighton and Oakmont at a "Fetterman family friendly open mic night." Introduce them as Pittsburgh-based musicians. Alternating verses and then together in unison for the final line.
And of course, I will bring the crudite.
