Parody Written by:

The Lyrics
Ever been on the road and had to use the bathroom at a Gas Station?
In the restroom when I stopped at a gas station
Filthy toilets, no sh*t paper, used my crossword
Whole place smelled bad, saw smeared feces, on the sink top
The clerk smiled, then spoke gibberish at my complaint
I'll crap in this place 'cause I don't have much choice
I'll hold my nose and pretend that I'm somewhere else
Saw some strange guy with a nose ring at that station
Was approached by homeless vagrant, "Wash your windows?"
I said "No thanks, I'm just here to use the bathroom"
"You'll be sorry" said the vagrant; then he farted
I gasped and went "phew" as that fart wafted by
Tried not to puke as that vagrant crapped on himself
(Instrumental break)
This gas station for some reason draws a weird crowd
Its location is near downtown and it's rotten
Teen-age hoodlums, stoned-out bikers hang around there
They stared at me through my windows; now I'm frightened
I'm leaving this place just as soon as I can
I won't be back, freaks can have this place for themselves

Please vote and comment on THIS version. This parody was double posted today. Thanks, Paul - As I noted on the duplicate version (and shouldn't have), this is my 100th post on amiright.
Dead-on parody; dead-on description.
Thanks, John. I sure saw some funky ones on my trip up to Northern California in January this year (and on the way back, too, of course). GAG!
This parody forced me to actually laugh out loud - for real - here at my desk! Paul, this is incredible - hilarious and brilliant! 555 without a stinkin' doubt!
Thank you, Johnny D! Yeah, when I was pacing it out to the CD track I was cracking up.
Great job! 555!
Yep, you proved it. You live in the LA area.
Such a sweet guy, gone so wrong.....555 :-)
Jack W and Rick D - Thanks! Hey, Rick - I ran into most of these biology experiments on the road up North and back. In fact the worst was about 90 or 100 miles South of San Jose. I don't remember the town but I remember I had to go out to my car and get paper towels and kleenex before I could use the can. Had to wash the seat first and the kleenex was my T.P. But I will admit that L.A. certainly has more than it's share of disgusting Gas Station Bathrooms.
Congrats on reaching 100...you don't look a day over 87...:-)
Hey, that's right - kudos on the big C, Paul!
Kristof, Thanks...you know, I don't feel a day over 87, either. Johnny D - Thanks to you, too. Wouldn't have made 100 without you ( I can think of at least two that I never would have got posted, at least...heh).
Robinson is GOD! 555
Agrimorfee - Oh, my...No...couldn't be...if I was everything would have to be a whole lot easier to do...wouldn't it? Thanks!
Nice work, Paul! 555...
Perfect description of a gas station bathroom.....good job
a bad day at Black Rock? but a good parody
Arwen, Billy F. and Royce - Thanks!
Brilliant, just brilliant! I loved the description of the bathroom and laughed at the dirty humor you used in it. If Eric Clapton were reading this parody right now, he'd loathe it. 5's to you, Mr. Robinson.
Thanks, Chris B.
congrats on hitting the century mark...this truly is a chilling scenario.. 5s
This parody deserves a LOT more votes!
Alvin - Thanks! Johnny D - Double Thanks!!!!! I'm pleased as punch that you would come over here and say that (FYI - Former Vice-President and one-time Senator Hubert Humphrey used to say that a lot and yes, people made fun of him over it).
Paul, I'm sitting at home and I just finished reading this parody again - and this time, I sang it out loud to the original song's music - and I freakin' laughed out loud! The pacing of this parody flows astonishingly smoothly in-synch with that of the original song, and your imagery flows right along with it. I say again, very, very well done.
Johnny D - Thanks! I was hoping that other people would enjoy it as much as I did. You know, except for some politically pointed pieces I almost never hold anything up once it's finished, but I held this one a day because I didn't know if many folks would be on site on the Holiday. I happened to show it to a few friends on Sunday and they ALl laughed out loud, including some who don't do a whole lot of laughing in the first place. Geez, even my older brother, Pete laughed out loud and he usually doesn't think anybody is funny except him. And I must admit, I've played & sang to the CD track a number of times since submitting it and I keep smiling and cracking up each time. I'll bet the neighbors downstairs are probably getting tired of it by now. You know, I saw a comment on your "Gangplank to Heaven" number today and revisited it. Arrhh! me timbers are all aquiver from the laughter...
Thanks, Paul, for making me laugh out loud at work on a stressful day! And you have 100 parodies! Holy crap! Congrats!
Mari D - You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. Good thing I made some people laugh with this parody 'cause I sure pissed someone off with some comments I made earlier. Just made a lengthy reply explaining why I don't think I'm really the most heartless bastard in the world. I really don't think I'm even in the top 10, but I'm not sure the intended reader will be in any way mollified. Hey, I know...think I'll pop "White Room" on the CD and do a little sing-along with it. I don't think my downstairs neighbors have heard my version enough to fully appreciate it yet. I'll take care of that right away...
Love it, Paul! Great job!
Thanks, Melhi! Glad you liked it.
(ABC) Really good job, Paul! 5's
*GGG* (Big grins, giggles & guffaws)
Adadio & Melhi - Thanks!
(ABC) Ask Paul for the restroom key, and then see above!
This is why you should always carry a cup with you in the car! ;-) I will reserve my vote for when I do the ABC voting. Just catching up with the last week's worth right now...
(ABC) See above
Johnny D - You don't NEED no stinking key for these places. When the inside is totally and entirely gross and disgusting there's a good chance that none of the locks work and that the door to the toilet stall either won't close or is just plain completely missing. I mean, what good would it be to have someone forced by circumstances to take a dump in the most disgusting bathroom in America if they wouldn't also be subjected to the additional humiliation of the possibility of someone walking in on them while they were trying to do it. Thanks Mer & Jack, too.
I'm not much of a fan of #2 humor, P-Rob, but I always seem to find myself making exceptions for yours. That vagrant verse is classic. Nice description of the least-white room there is.
Yup, TMS is right, the vagrant verse gave me the biggest laugh.
Spaff - Thanks! The "vagrant" verse was also my personal favorite. Initially I didn't have him crapping on himself in the chorus. I think I had him Peeing on himself...the change was an improvement, for sure. Thanks again, JD!
I told you you'd be sorry. But I'm not a "homeless vagrant"; I'm a "residence-impaired non-stationary". Seriously, very very good.
Thanks, Claude, 'preciate it.
That was perfectly brilliant. 5'd.
(ABC) I liked the crossword part the best. :-)
neminem and mer - many thanks ~ mer ~ glad you liked that. I was torn between using "crossword" , "map guide" or "hankie" and decided I liked "crossword" the best (I polled all my personalities - "map guide" finished 2nd.)
Lots of bathroom humor this round =)
Thanks for looking in, Jeff.
100 parodies .. fantastic Paul...your lyric is very pungent!
Martha - Thank you very much!
(late abc's comment) Now ain't this some $h!t. I should have mentioned earlier that if we were allowed three choices instead of one for abc, you'd definitely have been on mine. While I shy away from toilet humor for several reasons, the great pacing and, if you'll pardon me, 'flow' of this parody are undeniable. Great work, Paul.
2nz - Thanks aplenty! I've got some catching up to do on some earlier (ABC) rounds and I apologize for letting that happen. I'm probably disqualified for a while and that's OK. But I will catch up on those parodies fairly soon anyway, since those folks took the time to look at mine.
Ah, an OS and subject I know well, and so "do" you. Gas station bathrooms are disgusting in every way.
Dear God that was Funny! Your lyrics and descriptions were so true , and graphically hilarious! This one might be the funniest parody i've read on this site! The part about the vagrants fart wafting by...( He he Ha Ha ) O man , that was good.
Chris Holder...Thank you Much! It's definitely one of my favorites of what I have written to date ~ ~ ~ Red Ant, missed your September comment...Thanks!
