The Lyrics
My Barney meta-parody. Some of the lines reference "Post Perfusion Syndrome", which describes subtle deterioration of cognitive and neurological function after being hooked up to a heart lung machine. Some believe this occurs because the machine introduces tiny particles (emboli) or perhaps air bubbles into the bloodstream. I think I may have a bit of this
This old man, he'll try one
Stanza of Barney just for fun
With a "Love Me" parody give his song a score
This old man will try one more
This old man, goes for twos
Tiny bubbles cloud his Muse
With a whiz bang Backyard Gang, and kiss from you to me
This old man will go for three
This old man, goes for three
Brain is filled with emboli
While a brain whack heart attack makes this verse a chore
This old man should stop at four
This old man, now on four
Done enough to earn good score?
Like a gimcrack Kerouac, this line is mostly spew
Wont you give me three fives too?

Three 5s will do right on cue ;-)
Very subtle reference here: The OS was sung to the tune of the song, This Old Man. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Old_Man
Very perceptive, Detective. It's good to see that my genius is finally being appreciated around here. Is there any other way I can be of assistance to you? Well then, good day to you.
I was tardy with my thank you ;)
you glorious b*st*rd! you actually did it! 5s! :)
Never been called a glorious bastard before, Jonathan. I'm gonna assume that's high praise .... I got a Side B to this, you know
^ you've referred to yourself as a sick one before, so yes, my comment was intended as high praise! looking forward to your next parody! :)
CML, looks like you've got a hit! Good thing that neither you nor Onslaught were taking swipes at me for using the short Barney theme song :-)
That would have been a sh*tty thing to do, Rob. Would have cast a pall over the humor
I've never been called a glorious bastard before, Jonathan but I seem to remember George Patton once calling me a "magnificent bastard" in the comments ...... Lennie, you magnificent bastard; READ YOUR SONG!!
