The Lyrics
Comments from readers indicated that the original version of this parody, posted on Monday 8 January 2007, wasn't very clear... Run-together lines, lack of usual footnotes, etc... So, I'm taking the probably unprecedented (and probably unacceptable) step of re-submitting it in what is hoped to be a clearer version. Not fishing for any more votes or comments, except perhaps as to whether this one is or isn't easier to follow.
TOMMY TURTLE:
Dumb Klem Kadiddlehopper, klutz of a guy
Though he is Spider-Man, he can't catch a fly
Why:
Spider-Man loves Mari Juana; everybody knows it!
Face has such a vacant look it obviously shows it
If you doubt it, just observe how constantly he blows it
ALL:
Spider-Man loves Mari Juana; everybody knows it!
He tells a little whopper; white kind of lie
If he should come a cropper, now you know why!
NERD:
Poor Peter Parker played the part
Of picture-perfect dork [1]
He tripped and stumbled clumsily
At college and at work
Most folks assumed quite naturally
That Peter was a jerk
NERD, TOMMY TURTLE, AND CHORUS:
The honest explanation was
He had a secret quirk! Lurk!
Spider-Man loves Mari Juana; no, this isn't fiction!
Psycho-logic habit formed; it borders on addiction
Messes up his mind, this inescapable affliction
Almost turned his heroism into dereliction!
Not happy with his life as hero or nerd
Flight from reality is what he preferred
TOMMY TURTLE:
Denies that he is really hooked;
Refuses to admit;
At any time he wanted to,
He thinks that he could quit
NERD:
The Spider doesn't rea-
-lize how badly bug has bit [2]
He's come undone in web he spun [3]
He's trapped like any nit! [4]
NERD, TOMMY TURTLE, AND CHORUS:
Twit!
Aunt May's always telling him, "You don't look well a lot, son
"Wish that I could figure out this problem that you've got, son
"Hope it isn't HIV or other bug you've caught, son [2]
"Peter, please confide in me; please tell me what oh what, son!" [5]
Why can't a physics geek have high-paying job?
What turns his brain to mush; this genius, to slob?
TOMMY TURTLE:
You know, he talks all ass-backwards
Mumbles knowsitbodyeveryjuanamarimanlovesredips
This wack's going a bit too far,
Don't you think?
Indubitably!
Impairs his normal faculties
His mental sharpness, blunts
Can't hear!
He tried without success
To kick the habit twice or once
In spite of secret he bemoans
Still, evildoers: hunts
Um, your opinion?
Yes?
THE GIRLIE:
While he thinks it's a merry Jones [6]
I'd call him "cursed" and "dunce"! [7]
Oh, and a f***-up thing he is, too!
ALL:
Though...
He loves Mari Juana and so painfully he missed her
All that Peter ever did was treat her like a sister
Wonder how for all those years he managed to resist her?
Till the end of version two when finally he kissed her!
I predict that very soon they'll be "Mrs." and "Mr."!
[1] "Picture-perfect" = Peter was a photographer.
[2] Spiders catch bugs.
[3] Trapped in his own self-inflicted "web".
[4] "Nit" = egg or infant of a parasitic insect, as might be caught in a spiderweb.
[5] (what, oh) "what, son" = "Watson" (Mary Jane Watson, Peter's heartthrob).
[6] "merry Jones" = Mary Jane.
[7] "cursed and dunce" = Kirsten Dunst, who played Mary Jane Watson.

"Cursed" And "Dunce" = LOL!!!!!!!! Thanks for clearing this mess up... With great humor comes great responcibility
You put a lot of work into re-spiffing this one, TT...I appreciate the effort, but in all honesty I hate the OS so much that I just couldn't wade through it all, even though it looks pretty funny. I voted on one "Supercalif"-whatever piece today because the title drew me in - the piece connected with a personal experience from my youth, but I guess that was my limit. I have found that some OS material I'm just totally allergic to.
in my state, nothing is easy to follow, but i enjoyed
Nice fixing up
Matthias: Great line!!!! ... I'll make that my slogan :)
Paul Robinson: No problem; I'll keep that in mind on your future parodies, the last seven of which I voted on despite NKTOS at all. Thanks for stopping by.
alvin rhodes: yeah, California is like that... or did you mean your personal state? lol... thanks. :)
Ann Hammond, thanks. Thoughtful feedback helps us all get better!

Wow, great puns, multiple characters, variant choruses, and to top it all off you even parodied Dick & Julie's dialogue (which not everone does in the "Supercali" parody genre). Super job!
Agrimorfee, thanks!
Matthias, I just changed my 00s profile to use the slogan from your line... let me know if you object. Good one!

Glad to be of service
No problem, TT - enjoy what you like of mine, leave the rest behind, you know? My time's a little cramped these days...in the "Income Tax Software Support" field and we are already in the "near frantic" stage with "Pre-Filing Date" bank loan stuff, which is not a whole lot of fun as far as I'm concerned. I enjoy your comments on my pieces, if you're not familiar with the OS feel free to not vote, it's Ok.
Wow, you really knocked yourself out here- I love the puns and fun rhythms employed, and all of the extras you put in were great! I didn't see the first version you submitted, but this one is super--cali--you know the rest!
Jango, thanks!
