The Lyrics

I thought of this while taking a shower with a recently received sunburn at the beach.
I get sunburn
On a cloudy day
When the sun's outside
I've got to run away

Well, I need sunscreen
Though it doesn't work for me
Sunburn (Sunburn, sunburn)
I've got a sunburn (Sunburn)

I've got so much sunny
Got burns on my feet
I put ice in my socks
So they can start to freeze

Well, I guess you could say
I can't ever get away
Sunburn (Sunburn, sunburn)
Can't run from sunburn (Sunburn)

Ooooh, Oooow

Hey, hey, hey
Pain, pain, pain

I don't think it's funny
Cuz I'm in pain
I put sunscreen on me baby,
And it's insane

Well, I guess you'd say
That my sunscreen doesn't pay
Sunburn (Sunburn, sunburn)
Can't stop my sunburn (Sunburn)

I hate this sunburn
I get sunburn on cloudy days
Oh, sunburn
I've even got to run away
From sunburn

Nice job, Dom...I remember getting a first-class sunburn when I was maybe 15...sitting out at Playa Del Rey one summer afternoon with some friends...lway before "sun-block" was even a word, much less a product as far as I know...istening to this song...among others, on the portable AM radio (1965, maybe...). Yeah, The Beach Boys, Love("7 + 7", great song), Temptations, etc., great...but, OH...that sunburn...couldn't even get out of bed for a couple days...Hell, couldn't even put a sheet on me for a couple days...hurt too much...5's here ~ ~ ~

I can relate to this more than I would like to admit. I honestly don't know why I haven't been diagnosed with skin cancer yet...I've had WAY too many bad burns...=) This is a great parody, though...

What Arwen said. 555 Here and since you can record these this might be a good candidate, especially this time of year. By the way, saw your comment regarding my vote on your "SLTS" parody. I rated it more on the title than parody content ( sorry about that ). Not sure what I'd give it today but probably a 434 or so.

Thanks to all of you, and Red Ant. Even I wouldn't give it a 3 on funny, so it's OK that you rated it low.

Red Ant, do you mean I should make a recording of this song? I'm a little lost with what you said at the beginning of the comment.
Red Ant - July 14, 2005 - Report this comment
Yeah, I was saying you should record this parody, though I won't be able to access it as my dial-up and music-playing software are seriously messed up right now.
Dominic L. - July 14, 2005 - Report this comment
Read Ant, I've heard from a couple of your comments that you have an excellent voice. If this is true, then you are more than welcome to record this for me if you can or if you dial up gets better.
Red Ant - July 14, 2005 - Report this comment
Excellent, no. Very good voice, yes. Can you set up an account on inthe00s.com and PM me?

Three fives! In fact, if I could, I would give this parody...three nines. Yes, three nines.
