The Lyrics
Some background of the parody: (War of the Worlds Radio Drama Controversy) ------------- Some listeners heard only a portion of the broadcast and, in the atmosphere of tension and anxiety prior to World War II, took it to be an actual news broadcast. Newspapers reported that panic ensued, with people across the Northeastern United States and Canada fleeing their homes. Some people called CBS, newspapers or the police in confusion over the realism of the news bulletins. Some claimed they could smell poison gas or see flashes of lightning in the distance. (It was performed as a Halloween episode of a Radio Program on October 30th, 1938). [The Roswell Incident happened about 9 years later in 1947]
Broadcast is freaking us out as those people I shove
Are yelling "We're doomed!"
(Ahhhh!!! Ahhh!!! Ahhhh!!!)
Martians will come down on rockets and act so rough
And they'll blast you and then you'll be food!!!
Because we’re scared of Hitler and don’t have Twitter
So, We’ll all scream and spit! (Will scream and spit!)
Although it’s Orson Welles’ best
You can see we’re all stressed
Cause they’ll slug you!
(Ahhh!!! Ahhhh!!! Ahhhhh!!!)
Nights are starry and we’re on a safari
For bug-eyed creatures that came from Mars
We’ll leap from our socks, Look like Calamari
That’s why we’re flocking to all the bars
We’re acting like fooooooooools!
Cause we don’t know the truth
With no hands they’ve got flippers
Damn, They’ll pull laser gun triggers
(Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!)
That’s when the news came through
Yeah, It’s just a story H.G. Welles penned
Cause they’ve got fangs in their mouth that are large and sharp
And they will “Chomp you!”
(Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!)
They each have fifteen eye sockets and they’re quite tough
They'll abduct you and then probe you too!
If we were smarter this wouldn’t have started
But we’re all pretty dim! (We’re pretty dim!)
With radios we’re obsessed
Tuned into CBS
That said we’re screwed!!!
(No! No! Noooo!!!)
Of bad foes
Hitler’s the head honcho
Who makes us squeal when Nazis beat
That’s why we’re creeped out
And why we freaked out
Cause we thought it was them not Space Guy Creeps
Nah!
Some think there are ghooooooouls
That came here from Neptune
So they’re chugging down liquor
Yup!
While the rest of us snicker
Oooooooooooooooooohhhhh….
Unknown what’s tuned in to
Ugh! They’ll be irate when they find out!
They think that monsters touched down from far up above
And they’ll Destroy You!!!
(No! No! Noooo!!!)
We don’t know whether the planets have giant bugs
That will blast you and just leave fried shoes!
We screamed let’s get the Air Force! We’re not their main course
No, Don’t want to be bit (We won’t be bit!)
Although we’re rather impressed
With this story addressed
But they’ll kill you!!!
(Ahhhh!!! Ahhhh!!! Ahhhhh!!!)
Now maybe, maybe, maybe we are blowing this thing up way too big!
(Too big, too big, too big)
It’s a radio drama but still a lot of us flipped our wigs
(Our wigs, our wigs, our wigs)
Yes we did
I swore I saw…
(Uh!) Skkkkkkkkkyyyy!!!
(Uh!) Guuuuuuuuyyyyysss!!!
(Uh!) Fllllllllyyyyy!!! Spooky!
(Oh!) It’s so true!
(Oh!) We are so screwed!!! Ooohhhh!!!
It was just “War of the Worlds” that made us go nuts
They haven’t struck down
(No! No! No!!!)
So if you’re seeing a comet outside at night
It won’t hurt you or go shock you dudes!!!
But then a few years later inside a crater
Something at Roswell hit (Some strange sh*t hit)
And so I swear aliens
Have just got to exist
And they’ll blast you!
(Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!!!)

Whether or not there's intelligent life on other planets, the presence of intelligent life on Earth comes into question every four years during the Presidential Primary Debate Season! :-)
This same thing happened to me the first time I saw an episode of "Barney."
Great job! Totally forgot about this whole thing as a potential parody idea, nice work!
Nice job with this Matt. I enjoyed learning about that broadcast years ago and I always chuckled thinking about all those freaked out people. "Nights are starry and we’re on a safari" stood out to me.
(Ages) Now who's put their work into this parody now? A very tough OS to spoof, well, you're probably used to it, considering being a professional parody artist and all! At first I thought it was going to be another Hitler parody, like TCOP's. Yep, the truth is still out there with this one, and truthfully, I'm going to have to blast you with 3 sets of 5's! I enjoyed this lots!
(Ages5) I personally find it hilarious that Orson Welles scared everyone with his alien stories and then years later provided the voice for Unicron, who is essentially the Transformer version of Galactus mixed with Satan. Yeah, I'm a nerd. Great parody here, even if some lines were a bit awkward to read here and there. 555!
(AofA) I agree with TCOP. This was really funny, but some lines scanned awkwardly to me as well. This OS is really tough to pace, so you get a pass on that. Good work!
(AofA) Yeah, this OS is a little rough o pacing in some parts (I know from experience). Funny. (technically not an actual historical event, but possibly a future one) Who care about that though, this was really good!
Ages...EXCELLENT parody, to a super fun OS, and regarding one of my favorite events in history...love that story...loved this!
Really fun stuff here. I like how you combined the "War of the Worlds" broadcast and the events that happened in Roswell. There were a few pacing issues, but I'll overlook them a little bit. Nice work!
The April 2014 Award for First And Possibly Last Time This Topic Will Be In A Parody goes to...
A nice tribute to a famous troll who later became famous for getting blacklisted by a butt hurt mogul because of "Citizen Kane".
(Artistry) See above. I still really enjoyed this, even a second time around. Still had some trouble with the pacing, but this song is really hard to pace perfectly.
(Artistry) See above!
