Song Parody Fragments:
"Be Happy"
Better Lyrics:
And some peas and corn and rice
I got the inspiration for these lyrics because I dreamed that I heard a short clip of the song and I heard Mary say "And some peas and corn and rice," and I could see each food item appear one at a time as she said them.

"Family Affair"
Better Lyrics:
Let's get up off our @$$#$, school the masses
Of society
Don't let'em get away with slaying English
Language, can't you see
Don't need no education, graduation
Vocabulary skills
Just need a record deal with time to kill
And hundred dollar bills
Of society
Don't let'em get away with slaying English
Language, can't you see
Don't need no education, graduation
Vocabulary skills
Just need a record deal with time to kill
And hundred dollar bills
Original Lyrics:
Let's get it crunk, we gon' have fun up on it
In this dance-arie
We got ya'll open, now ya floatin'
So you gots to dance for me
Don't need no hateration, holleration
In this dance-arie
Let's get it percolatin', while you're waiting
So just dance for me
In this dance-arie
We got ya'll open, now ya floatin'
So you gots to dance for me
Don't need no hateration, holleration
In this dance-arie
Let's get it percolatin', while you're waiting
So just dance for me

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"When We"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: I know you'll always choose what's best for us
Cuz we make good love Why They're Nonsensical: Great song, but I think the lyrics are nonsensical, because it doesn't automatically follow from the fact that the guy is good in bed that he will be able to make sound decisions regarding the entire relationship.
Submitted by: rebecca
| "Family Affair"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Don't need no hateration, holeration.
Why They're Nonsensical: The obvious double-negative doesn't bother me, but Mary seems to write her songs with help from the ever useful 'Big Book of Made-up Words'. Tell me, what is "hateration" and/or "holeration"?
