The Lyrics
Merry & Pippin released their first parody on 5 March 2003. It has been a long journey from those early days. As today marks our ten year anniversary, and traditionally, tin or aluminium ('aluminum' for a North American perspective) is the nature of the gift, the following parody (and the two others released today) is/are loosely about subjects made of those metals. Thank you for all the wonderful memories and friends we have had/do have at AmiRight.
We are away at present for a number of reasons but we will be back. Couldn't let the anniversary go unnoticed.

Not sporty!
Not roomy from the boot to the lid
Not sexy!
Those advertisers: who do they kid?
The angle of shot: one scene – ‘size’ wants to bestow
Endeavour to fool
Sell me - ‘cus I’m kinda slow...
It gets miles
Can’t de-ny it
Drivin’ a rolling toaster
I try ta hide it
Don’t bleed fuel
It’s top mileage
A practical fam’ly spree car
All cramped inside it !
Old Chevy
That’s really made of metal’d be tight! (draggin’ tonight!)
Old Mopar
The horsepower of muscle in flight
(Sparks ignite!)
In sixties you knew: one thing - cars were for show
Impressin’ your bros
No way that I'm goin’ slow
We’re all crushed
So dagnabit
Drivin’ a rolling toaster
(Ain’t no chick-magnet)
It’s not cool
But top mileage
(Can’t wait for the new ’13 year:
It runs on sileage)
Bitchin’:
Give me my old car
Give me real car...
Gladly take a Dart!
It’s too much, d’oh!
So, so plastic
Drivin’ a rolling toaster
Just ain’t fantastic (it’s quite wrong!)
I feel blue
Not excited
Go out and take shit-boxy whirl
Let's jam inside it
Can’t floor it
Floor it, floor it
Abhor it
Bore, it!, Bore, it!
Four door, it:
Swore it: lore, it
(fade)

Not sexy!

Here's to another fine ten years for the Master Minstrels of The Shire. ;D
Well said Ribber - I second that.
Are you singing about a Scion xB?
That stood out and made this one a winner, other than the apparently-Oz spelling of "silage" ;). They used to talk a lot about fuel from biomass -- not so much lately. Anyway, look on the bright side of driving a rolling toaster -- the seats are always warm, and when the drive is done, no opening doors, bending, stooping, flashing (darn!), etc. -- you just pop right out!
LOL! Thank everyone! My car inspired this one - I always refer to it as that 'little plastic thing'. Cy - the seats actually are warm - heated seats is all it has going for it. That way one stays nice and toasty while stuck in the snowdrift that it will not maneuver thru.
Cy, I note that Merry conveniently side-stepped (as I suspected would happen) the issue of the spelling of 'Silage', so I shall set the record straight here and now. Merry's line, Merry's spelling! Young people of today, I don't know (shakes head)...
For what it's worth, when Your Humble Servant co-writes parodies with his brilliant partner, Sandy Draft, each proofreads the other's work. Just a thought.
Also, sooner or later it ends up in a format that has spell-check, such as Open Office or MS Word. "Sileage" flagged immediately, and right-clicking suggested two corrections: sileage and mileage. Also just a thought. ;-D

Suggested correction was "silage", of course. Do as I say, not as .... well, it's just a comment, not a parody. ;)
LOL! 5s for you guys :)
