The Lyrics
Bene wanting to parody this for a few years, and its one of the only ones of my fav 60s songs I hadnt parodied yet and it's for Ages Event 8!
Hot town
Hummers in the city
Including mine they’re all looking pretty
Right now, it looks fine not shitty
It’s just fun drivin all in the city
All around, people lookin’ undead
Staring at my car, and wish that they had it
Every night it’s a different girl
Sometimes it’s full of girls
They ‘re all in this car all night
There’s like a dozen chicks in sight
And babe, you’re looking pretty
Here for days? You just spend your nights
In some Hummers, in the city
Got a hummer in the city
Sometimes, it can be a pity
When it can’t fit and park, yeah that’s shitty
My cats, use the top for sleepin
All of our Hummers matchin in the city
And Im drivin till I can’t stop
If it’s getting real dirty, people won’t stare and thatd be a big flop!
But sometimes it’s a different world
But still attracts the girls
Come on, hop in the car all night
Have enough seats, it’ll be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
When the car, gets really old
No more Hummer for the city
Yeah my Hummer’s lookin’ shitty
Hot damn
Hummer’s looking shitty
Had it too long looks dirty and gritty
Leased out? That’ll be a pity!
Maybe I can get Cadillac or Lexus
All around people just looked at it
Staring at my old old car “I guess the lease ended”
But I just got a different car
Still atrracts all the girls
Got a big car , that’s perfect size
Just like the Hummer, quite a sight
And no, it’s no longer a pity
This car’s still popular during nights
There’s still Hummers, in the city
Like my Hummer,in the city
Hummers in the city
Including mine they’re all looking pretty
Right now, it looks fine not shitty
It’s just fun drivin all in the city
All around, people lookin’ undead
Staring at my car, and wish that they had it
Every night it’s a different girl
Sometimes it’s full of girls
They ‘re all in this car all night
There’s like a dozen chicks in sight
And babe, you’re looking pretty
Here for days? You just spend your nights
In some Hummers, in the city
Got a hummer in the city
Sometimes, it can be a pity
When it can’t fit and park, yeah that’s shitty
My cats, use the top for sleepin
All of our Hummers matchin in the city
And Im drivin till I can’t stop
If it’s getting real dirty, people won’t stare and thatd be a big flop!
But sometimes it’s a different world
But still attracts the girls
Come on, hop in the car all night
Have enough seats, it’ll be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
When the car, gets really old
No more Hummer for the city
Yeah my Hummer’s lookin’ shitty
Hot damn
Hummer’s looking shitty
Had it too long looks dirty and gritty
Leased out? That’ll be a pity!
Maybe I can get Cadillac or Lexus
All around people just looked at it
Staring at my old old car “I guess the lease ended”
But I just got a different car
Still atrracts all the girls
Got a big car , that’s perfect size
Just like the Hummer, quite a sight
And no, it’s no longer a pity
This car’s still popular during nights
There’s still Hummers, in the city
Like my Hummer,in the city

Love the os too so this was cool
This weaves a funny spoofy story...
I hate Hummers! An Olds Vista Cruiser, a Chevy, GMC, Ford or Dodge full-sized van, a hearse with a backseat added to it, a classic (1973-91) Suburban or a VW Bus does the job just as well, is very easy to work on (in comparison to the Hummer), gets somewhat better gas mileage (much better in the case of the Olds and the VW), and like the Hummer, all are excellent band vehicles.
well this hummers not a bummer it's a stunna! 555
(Ages) Hum. Used too many of the OS\\'s words, and too much "sh***y' repitition for me to rate this high. (EDIT: Wow! Chucky installed a censor on the Comment box!
Not bad, but what's with the format dude? Feel free to space once and awhile.
(AGES) Needed a better layout, but okay. I like Hummers, mainly cuz there's one in the new TF movie ;)
So THAT'S the car I should have bought while I lived in the U.S.
(Ages) Well, as someone who has had layout issues in the past, I will judge it souly on the lyrics ;) Lyrically this one was really quite good. The reason all the chicks are attracted to it though have nothing to do with the Hummer except that they know how much money all that gas costs, so they know you've got money:D Oh and your rhyming was PERFECT and fit the song VERY WELL
(Ages) Yeah, a bit repetitive, and some spacing would have been really appreciated! (And who told you Hummers were chick magnets? They scare the crap out of me!)
(Ages) Yeah, some of the lyrics were repetitive, but I still thought it was a fun song. But with all the girls, he could have gotten some ti**y, or some kitty, if he had talked a little witty. It's a fine ditty, I'll buy it for two-fitty (South Park reference)
