The Lyrics
Cat dander, pollen and even ragweed
When you inhale that stuff, it ain't what you need
So your nose does something at amazing speed
Runs in reverse
So then you start to scrunch up your face
Like you ate something that was bad to taste
A tickle coming up that you must embrace
It could be worse
Nerves ingite your dome
And excite your nose
And you soon will say, "Achoo!"
And I'm your friend, the best you know
Walking with you to the movie show
And I see you are about to blow
(Feel like a nurse)
All I have's a comb,
My wallet and phone
But I don't have a tissue
(uh.....uh......uh....uh....uh....uh...)
("ACHOO!"---just when the beat picks up)
Snot streams from your face
And passers-by move off to give us some space
Snot streams from your face
Oh my!
Snot streams to my face
On my tie too, but fortunately it should not stain
Snot streams on my face
Oh my!
"Excuse me," you moan
We stand still as stones
And I just say, "God bless you!"
When you inhale that stuff, it ain't what you need
So your nose does something at amazing speed
Runs in reverse
So then you start to scrunch up your face
Like you ate something that was bad to taste
A tickle coming up that you must embrace
It could be worse
Nerves ingite your dome
And excite your nose
And you soon will say, "Achoo!"
And I'm your friend, the best you know
Walking with you to the movie show
And I see you are about to blow
(Feel like a nurse)
All I have's a comb,
My wallet and phone
But I don't have a tissue
(uh.....uh......uh....uh....uh....uh...)
("ACHOO!"---just when the beat picks up)
Snot streams from your face
And passers-by move off to give us some space
Snot streams from your face
Oh my!
Snot streams to my face
On my tie too, but fortunately it should not stain
Snot streams on my face
Oh my!
"Excuse me," you moan
We stand still as stones
And I just say, "God bless you!"

This is nothing to sneeze at....555
the first german word i ever learned...5s
I'm DKTOS on this right now but I'm probably getting some Coldplay soon.
Your rhyming is outstanding and it is funny, but given the way Chris Martin sings this (i.e. carrying every other syllable) the stressing you have choked me up a bit. Putting hyphens or periods in/after some of the words might have helped. Yep, got "X&Y" tonight.
OK. Finally a song I do know. Since I saw this, I've decided to do one about bodily functions, too. It's still under construction. You'll see it once I'm done.
OK, it's up. Search for "I Don't Wanna Smell So Stink"
(ABC-5G)
Snot bad - snot bad at all even though the mental image is a bit gross, but then where would the parody be without it. This is as funny as it is runny.

(ABC) Eull! Pretty clever idea. However, it seems your pacing is way off too often; some lines I couldn't follow at all. It seems you have both mismatched stresses and too many syllables. I didn't laugh at all, but I give you some credit for grossing me out in the second half of the song. 3-4-3.
(ABC) I dunno Ag, the imagery was pretty disgusting. And unfortunately I have a real problem with clunky lines that sound hastily arranged to fit a rhyme (ie. they don't sound conversational) and "Like you ate something that was bad to taste" was one of those - it might be just me, but they make me shudder - 555
Eew. Some clever stuff tho.
Having done this OS myself, I can say it is a lot harder than it looks. I would have like to seen a bit more done with the "Snot streams from your face" lines. This is still pretty good even after nearly three years.
(ABC4) The stressing was kinda clunky, but you kept the story going really well - it'd be pretty hard to have a four minute song about a sneeze, not sneezING, A sneeze. 555 for yo...ah...ah...ah...AH-CHOO! 'Scuse me.
Good idea, but honestly I have to agree with T-Cop and Melanie the pacing on this one was a bit clunky, but this was still a great original song to parody and one that need to spoof later down the line.
Very descriptive song about what I go through each spring and fall. Good for one of your older ones.
I agree on the 'conversational comment by Stu. . .still I enjoyed this parody, I don't think I really had trouble following it to the OS like some said, but it was a tad awkward, good job completely this under-rated TOS though.
One of Coldplay's lamer songs... And I agree with my comment earlier than a few of the lines were a bit clunky. Still it was a good enough idea to get a 555 from me.
(Artistry 77) Agri, this satire 'stuffed' up really well! Achoo, achoo, achoo, achoo. (In between sneezes) here's some...achoo... 5...achoo...5...achoo...5 (achoo) doses of Benadryl. Geshundheit and salut to you 'Morfee!
(Artistry) See above! Still kinda clunky, particularly in the first verse, but overall very good.
Nice to see it again, I just like weird topics, like sneezing, too songs that deserve it, like this. Original was so insipid, your lyrics are actually more meaningful than TOS. . .
(Artistry) Everyone back, he's gonna blow! Fun topic and you expectorated it well.
