The Beatles
Parody Song Title:
"I'm Not Gay"
Parody Written by:
Tommy Turtle
The Lyrics
The best-received of my professional works. The producer said that his singer, who usually nails *everything* in one take, needed multiple takes, as he had difficulty getting all the way through it without cracking up. I can't imagine a higher compliment that a professional comedy singer and impressionist could give to a writer.
I'm not gay
Though in airport johns, I spend my day
It's jut how I while the hours away
You must believe
That I'm not gay
Suddenly
Accident'ly bump foot; brush his knee
Now he has the wrong idea of me
Sir, I'm not gay
Why can't you see?
Why... I... tapped your shoe:
'Cause this loo: clean paper, none
Could... you.. pass a roll
So this soul
Can wipe his bun?
I'm not gay
Judge not what I do, but what I say
Underneath, I slid my hand your way...
Few sheets, retrieve
That's all, OK?
He... thinks... touching feet:
Indiscreet; I want to play
No... you've... got it wrong
Loud and strong --
-- shout, "I'm NOT gay!"
Yesterday...
Was misunderstood, to my dismay
How more forcefully can I convey...
(And self-deceive)...
I AM NOT GAY!
Why do they think that I am fay?....
Though in airport johns, I spend my day
It's jut how I while the hours away
You must believe
That I'm not gay
Suddenly
Accident'ly bump foot; brush his knee
Now he has the wrong idea of me
Sir, I'm not gay
Why can't you see?
Why... I... tapped your shoe:
'Cause this loo: clean paper, none
Could... you.. pass a roll
So this soul
Can wipe his bun?
I'm not gay
Judge not what I do, but what I say
Underneath, I slid my hand your way...
Few sheets, retrieve
That's all, OK?
He... thinks... touching feet:
Indiscreet; I want to play
No... you've... got it wrong
Loud and strong --
-- shout, "I'm NOT gay!"
Yesterday...
Was misunderstood, to my dismay
How more forcefully can I convey...
(And self-deceive)...
I AM NOT GAY!
Why do they think that I am fay?....

It's true that anyone who shouts to the world "I'M NOT GAY!" will immediately be assumed to be gay.
fun read...i'm not gay either...hell, i'm not even happy
Not sure that they'd think you're fey.. but they might think you're Larry ;-)
You did not stall out on this one..
McKludge: Yeah, Craig's denials were ludicrous... thanks McK.

Faytastic! Great subs, title switch & da' Nile-ism!
A timeless political fumble. What makes it funny (the story it's based on) is what the guy who did it stood for. . .I almost expected this to be one of those I say 'foul' on--but that's why you have to read before commenting on a title, very well written Tommy.
How do you determine the sex of a turtle anyway? :-)
TJC: Aww, shucks, it was just written by deceit of de pants.... thanks TJ!
Below Average Dave: Actually, I did consider titling it "I'm Not Gay (Larry Craig)", but sometimes it's more fun for readers to figure it out themselves. Thanks, Dave.
Meriadoc: It's difficult - they're so shy; first you have to get them to come out of their shell.
As Ogden Nash put it:
The turtle lives twixt plated decks
That totally conceal its sex
I think it clever of the turtle
In such a fix, to be so fertile
© Estate of Ogden Nash... oh, and thanks for v/c, Merry. Hope you're feeling better these days - I've misses you, as I'm sure many others have. Happy holidays!

Awsome song, man

Just saw your "Yesterday" parody. One of several great spoofs of that song. Keep cool. Turtle Power!
