The Lyrics
I had this one rolling around in my head, then Malcolm's entry last week inspired me to finish it, especially after hearing that the Octomom took out a copyright on her unique moniker:
Ooh I need some more breasts,
Can't make due with two.
Hope I don't get hungry,
All I have is gruel.
Told me, scold me, feed me, need me.
Inseminate my bank now,
Eight babes to feed.
How do I pay bills now,
Sell kids on e-bay.
Scramble all the time, wow
Find a better way.
Sign me, write me, film me, pay me.
Books and movies paid off for,
Eight babes to feed.
Eight babes to feed
I use you.
Eight babes in need
Enough to make the press aware.
Ooh I need more high chairs,
Thirty-two arrived.
Coined my Octomom name,
On that I'll always thrive.
Paid me, wealthy, no needs, greedy.
Golden ticket in hand now,
Eight babes to feed.
Eight babes to feed
I need you.
Eight babes in need
Out on the town I'm getting stares.
Octomom I own now,
Say it, I don't mind
This is what I teach girls
Pays off all the time
Judge me, smudge me, see me, T.V.
The nanny's here goodbye, babes.
Eight babes to feed
Eight babes in need. Eight babes to feed. Eight babes in need.

Well done Mark
Thanks, Claude!!
Great job Mark, you know well I'm a sucker for the lyric "gruel", but in this case, "more breasts"! Thanks for the mammories!
You said a mouthful, Mr. Rotundo. Eight thanks to you...
Good one - didn't she already have 6 kids before the 8 new ones? I remember seeing something in one of our newspapers about her. It's great as long as she can financially support them all but If she can't then why was she allowed the fertility treatment in the first place?
Good point, Andy, and thanks!!!
An octo plus a septo.
Great job!
Octo thanks to John & Tim!
Aaron Spelling's mega mansion is up for sale for 150 million. Brangelina should buy it and invite the Octo Mom to move in. That's an idea for another parody.
That is a funny idea, 2eagle!!!
Thanks for the comment...
Nicely done. 555
Thanks, Jonathan!!!
How VH1 hasn't yet started to build a "reality series" around this dizzy dame is beyond me. Clearly, parody writing is NOT beyond you! And now, for something I would never say to the Octomom, I say to you: Keep 'em coming!
Thanks, Michael!!!
I laughed while I was trying to sing it.If it makes you laugh it's good.
Thanks, Janet...
Hysterical case for hysterectomy of hysterical ho. ("Hysteria" comes from Greek for "uterus". Sooo sexist, those Greeks!) 888 -- which is too many, just like the subject.
Eight sets of thanks to you for the fives, TT!!
ABC: Great job! I love the OS and I wouldn't have come up with this one! 555 MORE BABIES!! lol
Good job. What's nice about this is it could probably hold up for years after Octomom is a distant memory in pop culture.
Baby gurgling of thanks to Abbott & Agri!!
Please find jobs for both Kate/John . . . .
Agreeance with Aggy on this one. This is litterly timeless, sure you included the line about "Octomom" but seriously this could be about any White Trash baby-spurting family down south.
"Reality Show' deals and thanks to UnKnown & Matthias!!
Nice play on words. How bout a sequel. Octomommy's Garden.
Thanks, Dan. Brilliant idea!!!
I know you had to cut 'ies' to make it work, but babes has a totally different connotation, as a result it sounds like you've got a bunch of girlfriends who like to, uh, nibble. . .I guess that's the clean way to say it. Good rhyming, the title isn't my favorite though because like I said, that takes quite a poetic license to pull off (no pun intended), hate Kate Grosselin, so she deserves this kinda parody, just "Eight Babes to Feed" is quite a stretch for me.
Comments noted, Dave.
(ABC E & F) Great one... Octomom is always funny, yet is a PITA since she is a contributor to overpopulation. The title could have been better like B.A. Dave said (maybe you could have done "Eight Kids To Feed", since that would pace properly as well as have the correct accentuation, but Nadia Suleman has more than eight children total, so that wouldn't work too well in practice). Great job.
Eight thanks coming your way, Andria!
The OS ain't half bad, though in my opinion, Octomom is old news. Still, a great parody. 555
(ABC-EF) Well, this parody now holds the record for Most Disturbing First Line In A Parody. That said, not a lot to work with, but still pretty good. 555
Eight rounds of thanks to DJ & bobpie!
