The Lyrics
In seven days, God made the earth, the stars, and the chihuahua. I don't have a problem with the first two....
I procreate on wintry nights
and tolerate the insect bites
that you invented
and when I'm stuck in traffic jams
I pray to you, but never have
you intercepted
And furthermore I don't have bones
to pick regarding volcanoes
and lava
so why'd you have to conjure up
that highly-strung microbe called a
chihuahua?
I can see it in their eyes that they despise all things more sizey than
a cab-bage
In animal psychiatry they'd readily surmise that they
have bag-gage
I've always said "Preposterous!"
when fools say we've evolved from grubs
as Darwin has claimed
(I only write "preposterous"
because it might get compliments
from Arwen again)
I always frown when people say
you should come down on Jews and gays
much hard-er
yet still you won't do nothing 'bout
those seemingly turned-inside-out
chihuahuas
they somehow don't have facial hair - no wonder they look like they wear
mascara
apart from testing nooses, there just aint no better use for the
chihuahau
chihuahua
chihuahua
chihuahua
chihuahua
(so stop them reproducing please - because there aint no use for the chihuahua)
and tolerate the insect bites
that you invented
and when I'm stuck in traffic jams
I pray to you, but never have
you intercepted
And furthermore I don't have bones
to pick regarding volcanoes

Stu, this is hilarious! I laughed so hard in a few places that I almost dropped my chalupa! 555++
This is what the Decathalon contest is all about.
Great job! I especially loved the cabbage and Arwen lines.
some topics are automatically funny....i screamed at this one
I've always said "Preposterous!"
when fools say we've evolved from grubs
as Darwin has claimed
Ha! My stream of consciousness as I read this: "Oh he ONLY used that word because I told him it's on my list of favorite words!"
(I only write "preposterous"
because it might get compliments
from Arwen again)
Ooooh...well at least you're honest. ; ) Nicely written, but we're still in a fight...just in case you were wondering.

loved it "apart from testing nooses, there just aint no better use for the chihuahau" you naughty person have the rspca been on the phone ? (to thank you !)
I'm in agreement with tomario.
Super funny!...even the dog's name sounds like it's laughing..."Chi-wa-ha-ha-ha!"
El canción es muy fantastico!!!
5's to Stu, 0's to chihuahuas !
thanks Rick - slippery little suckers those chalupas!
thanks Jeff, Merry, and Alvin :-)
ha, glad you liked it Arwen - d'ya reckon making that ref work didn't take a coupla dozen rewrites...;-)....oh, and er, fight, right...yes m'lady
thanks tomario, and for the rspca line (lol) and PMS for agreeing with him :-)
thanks AFW - I think you may have singled out their only redeeming feature
thanks Matthias - don't even need to know Mexican to get that
thanks pippin - lol - and btw my PM to you remains unanswered...

So very clever that I just had to immediately pop open up my man-purse and sing it to Poopsie, who, needless to say, chluffed so hard her 'mascara' ran! 5 woofies!
Damn Good stuff as allways, keep it up!! 555
thanks TJC - "pop open my man-purse" lost me, unless that's where you keep your noose, and that, hopefully, "sing it to" is your local dialect for "strangle" ;-)
good on you, Spoof-Man - thanks
good on you, Spoof-Man - thanks
I had a feeling that you might just use this OS for the comp, Stu...after the riot that was "Cactus". This, needless to say, has a cornucopia of LOL lines, my faves being:
I always frown when people say
you should come down on Jews and gays
much hard-er
yet still you won't do nothing 'bout
those seemingly turned-inside-out
chihuahuas
A much-bigger-than-the-mutt set of 5s!

thanks KR - yes this (as I've stated before on the MB) is actually my favourite OS to parody, and is always the first OS I think of when I have to come up with something, although it's only the third time I've parodied it on amiright (trying not to overuse it) - it has a nice dry eyebrows-raised rhythm, conducive to satire, imho :-)
excellent stuff Stu...are you personally acquainted with one of these creatures ir is it just pure prejudice??
The last verse had me laughing big time! 5s for your slam on rat-dogs.
prejudice of the highest, purest, most undiluted form, Martha :-) - thanks
thanks Jack!
thanks Jack!
(Decathlon) Fives for your Ode To The K-0.9 !
back again - just realised my shih tzu is a hippy Chihuahua
(Decathlon - Event 2) When I found an mp3 of the OS (as I usually have to do for parody competitions), I thought 'this sounds familiar'. Then when I heard the main bit, I realized that part of it was used in the Simpsons episode, "Black Widower". Still, classic parody, and you're right: Darwin is a fool.
(DEC2) See above...funny, fuh-nee stuff! WOOF!!! 555
See above, loved the idea of a rant about something as off the wall as a chihuahua.
Decathlon...still love it, Stuart...preposterous as it may be...=)
Decathlon Chi Chi Chi 5's
Working at Taco Bell now, I can appriciate this.
(Artistry) Fun idea---(loses something with the in-joke to Arwen, though)
(Artistry) Everyone knows that the Chihuahua was created to give Taco Bell a mascot (and a source of fajita meat). Funny stuff.
(Artistry) Hey, I remember this one! Awesome as always, Stu.
Vicked 555
DKTOS, but you really hate chihuahua's, doncha? For your ability to put that into words- that by itself already gets 555. I gotta do DL this song so I can be in on the joke... Great read, man!
I remember reading this before, and still very funny, though (warning: possible fightin' words to follow!!!) having listened to the OS I had a very difficult time getting this to scan to it, which is highly unusual since A) Your pacing is almost always spot on, especially with your latter works (i.e., anything after about your first 10 or so parodies) and B) You said this is your favorite song to parody, and it's extremely unlikely you'd mess it up at all. So, in conclusion, I can only surmise I'm reading this funky or the YouTube clip has different lyrics/tempo than TOS. =) PS - Just got back from VA Beach today, and my family there has a chihuahua... yes, it was useless (except as a heated armrest), and yes, I called it "rat-dog" to its face several times.
you're exactly right Jack - I didn't bother reading this to the OS playing like I normally do, because I know the tune and my other parodies of this OS so well, most of which I wrote long before I realised Amiright's strict syllabic approach - I just wrote it for the easy read, so there are bound to be pacing quirks
Very good except that some of the lines were tough to pace .. . .so there are some pacing issues, but it was still very funny.
