a parody of "Believe" by Cher
Cher performed in the 2023 Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade. It would only make sense that she would sing her Thanksgiving classics, such as “The Beets Go On”, “Giblets, Yams, and Peas”, and this timeless classic….“Believe“.

a parody of "Believe" by Cher
Originally recorded in 2006, it was due for an update. The original had no vocal editing, which of course made it a very rough parody of Cher. 11 years later, it finally gets a makeover. All about becoming a vampire. . . but a legendary vampire-you know the ones that can't eat garlic, be in sunlight (at all-no rings, don't turn sparkly), and can't listen to rock music (never understood that one personally--but hey) Fun little ditty. .

The Funny Lyrics: Do you believe in life after love?
Why They're Funny: Well, if we didn't, the world's population wouldn't be half of what it it today, now, would it? I mean, I love the song, but I don't see broken-hearted people disappearing into thin air all around me. Or anywhere at all, really. (I suppose I could have put this into one of the other sections, but it probably fits here the best.)

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"Half Breed"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: My father married a pure Cherokee
My mother's people were ashamed of me The Indians said I was white by law The White Man always called me "Indian Squaw" Why They're Nonsensical: Actually, the Cherokee are a matrilineal society who would readily accept the mother and child. The father might be asked "Who the hell are you, pale face?"
Submitted by: Melissa
| "Dark Lady"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Then I remembered her strange perfume,
and how I smelled it once in my own room. Why They're Nonsensical: She once smelled strange perfume in her room, but that alone didn't make her suspicious?? It only struck her as significant once she realized whose perfume it was??

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics:
"The Way of Love"
The Lyrics: When you meet a boy that you like a lot and you fall in love but he loves you not . . . etc. . . . Then what will you do when he sets you free just the way that you said goodbye to me?
Why: Unless this song is about a lesbian whose girlfriend left her for a man (or a straight woman whose BF just came out) it makes no sense. Starting with the first line the perspective is that of Cher singing to (presumably) a woman, or women in general, about the dangers of fickle men. But at the very last minute the perspective changes to Cher talking to her ex-lover (presumably a man). Additionally, the whole song is a few poorly constructed run-on sentences. This my vote for worst song ever.

"Gypsies, Tramps, And Thieves"

| "Dark Lady"
The Lyrics: The fortune queen of New Orleans Was brushing her cat in her black limousine On the backseat were scratches from The marks of men her fortune she had won Couldn't see through the tinted glass She said "Home James" and he hit the gas I followed her to some darkened room, She took my money, she said "I'll be with you soon"
Why: "Dark Lady" was a #1 hit song for Cher back in 1974. The opening verse I posted above has a shoutout to New Orleans, a real place.

"Believe"
The Lyrics: No matter how hard I try
You keep pushing me aside And I can't break through There's no talkin' to you It's so sad that you're leavin' It takes time to believe it But after all is said and done You're gonna be the lonely one...ohhh Why: It's a pretty upbeat tune for a breakup song, Then again, the woman realizes she's better off after the breakup, so maybe it's appropriate for it to be upbeat. (In fact, this song helped me get over a bad breakup.)
