a parody of "I Believe I Can Fly" by R Kelly
I figured that since R Kelly was officially convicted (well deservingly, I might add), it would be a perfect opportunity to do a parody of one of his songs. I decided on "I Believe I Can Fly" because it fits well with "I'm The Creepiest Guy".

Kellyanne Conway sings:

I believe I can lie
I believe I can smile and lie

Funniest Song Lyrics:

"Trapped In The Closet (Chapter 4)"
The Funny Lyrics:
Then she cries out
'Oh my goodness, I'm about to climax'
Why They're Funny:
Hearing the whole five chapters consecutively (along with the video) almost made me literally explode with incessant laughter but it was this section that is the icing on the cake. Sorry, but if two people are having sex with one another and one is about to climax, I doubt with every percent of seriousness that the climaxer would be so aristocratic and contemplative with his/her raptured utterance as to say something like: 'by Jove, my darling, it appears that I am becoming so aroused I'm en route to experiencing a climax'. And for such a scenario to be conjured by someone like R. Kelly, the notion is even more the ludicrous.
