The Lyrics
This will not be to everybody's taste...oh well...A song about a guy who can't understand why his girl doesn't show him affection anymore
Darling, why's your skin blue?
Can't keep those flies off of you
Loosen up..you're so stiff
And girl, you're starting to whiff
I'm thinking, are you on drugs?
And what's going on with the bugs?
I cook meals you don't chew
Can't keep those flies off of you
Pardon me if I am frank
I kiss you but draw a blank
I'm so concerned, it's bizarre
Buzzards wherever you are
Please eat the food on your plate
I think you've lost too much weight
Girl, if you'd only move
You'd keep those flies off of you
I love you baby
But you don't talk, as such
I love you baby
Although you're cold to touch
I love you baby
Please don't fall off that chair
Oh rigid baby
I'll try to come to terms
With why you're lazy
And covered all in worms
Oh don't give me the old cold shoulder, baby....
Darling, what's going on?
Who is this zombie called Ron?
Took you out t'other day
For some big graveyard soiree
I hope we won't have to part
I'm wondrin' where is your heart?
Is our romance taboo?
Can't keep those flies off of you
I love you baby
But you don't talk, as such
I love you baby
Although you're cold to touch
I love you baby
Please don't fall off that chair
Oh rigid baby
I'll try to come to terms
With why you're lazy
And covered all in worms
Oh don't give me the old cold shoulder, baby....
Can't keep those flies off of you
Loosen up..you're so stiff
And girl, you're starting to whiff
I'm thinking, are you on drugs?
And what's going on with the bugs?
I cook meals you don't chew
Can't keep those flies off of you
Pardon me if I am frank
I kiss you but draw a blank
I'm so concerned, it's bizarre
Buzzards wherever you are
Please eat the food on your plate
I think you've lost too much weight
Girl, if you'd only move
You'd keep those flies off of you
I love you baby
But you don't talk, as such
I love you baby
Although you're cold to touch
I love you baby
Please don't fall off that chair
Oh rigid baby
I'll try to come to terms
With why you're lazy
And covered all in worms
Oh don't give me the old cold shoulder, baby....
Darling, what's going on?
Who is this zombie called Ron?

Oh don't give me the old cold shoulder, baby....

I'm having troubles getting the original tune into my foggy mind this morning...
Kristof - Eeeewwww!!! 5's...This reminds me of a track called "Zombie Jamboree" that I think the Kingston Trio (or some similar folk group of the era) did. It was one of my older brothers records and I would play it sometimes when he wasn't around. Man, that was a long, long, time ago. It was actually pretty funny. I remember how it went quite well. Yours is a lot grosser.
Thanks, Paul..I was in a kinda gross-out mood when I wrote this. I, however think it's quite tame compared to some of the shockers I've read recently (Alvin Rhodes, take a bow). Cheers anyway
555, great work, Kristof....but......yikes.....is today gross-out day on Amiright, or what? I posted two eating-themed parodies today.....one about eating cicadas.....and one about a nutcase who dines on himself.....and now THIS.....ewww.....startin' to feel like Humphrey Bogart in The African Queen: "Get 'em off me! Get 'em off me!"
Cheers Johnny...must be something in the water. For Arwen and anyone else who doesnt know the song, try: www.findmidis.com/index.go/F/Frankie_Valli
Brrr! That lady is not just chillin', she's cold! 5s, Kristof, well done.
laughed till i died...5s
If you like Weekend at Bernie's movies, you'll love this parody! i sure did!
Hey! Does she have a sister?
Why, yes, in fact, she does......here, I'll lift the lid so you two can get acquainted.
Hey, wait--I think I know that girl! Straight fives--you're killin' me!
ROFLMAO!!! (Ok, so maybe I'm watching too many forensics shows.)
heh heh, what Mason said: You're killin' me. Great read, especially the refrain.
This was great! And Pip and I have something similar in the works this week (Alvin is our witness - and our inspiration)...
Thanks everyone for your feedback. Pardon the tardiness of my gratitude...as I'm in the UK, I'm sleeping while you guys are reading. Thanks again
FINALLY remembered the song...great job as usual, Kristof. Excellent! 555....
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO ARE YOU?
WHO WHO, WHO WHO?
WHO WHO, WHO WHO?

Hoorah, I know the original song! You should have stuck it to taht zombie chump and yelled "Ya can't'ave'er!"
OK, I'm done now. R.I.P. 05/05/05
