The Lyrics

I'm at badave.com
Oooh Sugar

I prefer artificial flavors
I do not like the real thing no no
If it's chalked full of dyes and syrups
It's got the taste that I crave

fake juices

Fructose Corn Syrup, Sodium and all
In my tea and my Pepsi at the mall I drink
I am afraid that real flavors taste the same

oooh
I prefer Sunkist to Orange Juice dear
Fruit doesn't soothe me
I like fake smoothies and some fake beer
but Skittles are too real I fear

Want more of
them artificial flavors honey
I really hate the real thing

Grapes taste the same, Boring you see
Yellow six tastes so much better to me
I need no 'lemon' in my lemonade

Those real flavors are so lame such a shame
For lunch drink Hawaiian punch
Love strawberry flavor
It is what I savor

Like runts, not cherries No nuts I want
And I'm out of sprees yep they're gone
I wish I could find something else with those additives

So let's forget the real thing baby
No I don't want the real thing (ew yucky)
I prefer artificial flavors
No 'nanas in my pudding (Sick honey)
I prefer artificial flavors
Don't feed me watermelons

You must have hit a health freak's nerve with this one Dave. 3 Triple 1's before I even got to see it this morning. I liked it, good twist on the original.

I would say you hit SEVERAL health freak's nerves. But here are some fake 5's...hope they are filling...lol. I like how you went the opposite way on this parody, and went the unexpected way. 5's (those are real anyway)

Trolls and food Nazis - you have to get up before dawn to catch them. Funny, the moon isn't full.

I find it funny that the idea of eating endangered species (TJC yesterday) or cartoon animals (Invisible Boy today) gets straight 5's but the idea of eating junk food full of E numbers gets 4 sets of straight 1's - It just goes to show that you can't second guess what others will find offensive

Thank you Matty, TJC, Adagio, 2Eagle. On the four ones. . .this is just some troll who empties cookies and votes multiple times, as if that's going to stop me from making parodies, someone who doesn't like me as a person and is to coward to work it out--has nothing to do with my parodies. . .almost all my parodies have ones, but that's why I am much more in tune with comments than votes anyway, especially when the votes aren't tied in to a log in system to where each individual can only vote once, and abuse (such as voting all ones on specific people's parodies) can be traced. Thanks again guys, and to whoever the one dude is for this one, thanks for inflating my hit count which ironically will increase the traffic to this page through search engines, I owe you a thank you:)
