The Lyrics
Look they're gnawing at the wall,
Chewing scenery and all.
Box office ain't in the red.
Plot is stitched with flimsy thread.
Boring is "Spider,"
Boring is "Spider."
Lots of popcorn on the floor,
Kick it as I twitch and snore.
Wake me when it's over, please,
While it's on I'll catch some Z's.
Boring is "Spider,"
Boring is "Spider."
Sleeping, nodding,
Sleeping, nodding,
Sleeping, sleeping, nodding, nodding,
Sleeping, sleeping, nodding, nodding,
Sleeping, sleeping, nodding, nodding,
Sleeping, sleeping, nodding, nodding.
Surroundsound system's not small,
Each ear stuffed with cotton ball.
After "Spider" dreck, need a cure. . .
Watch SPICE XXX for sure.
Boring is "Spider,"
Boring is "Spider."
Tobey's gnawing,
Kirsten's gnawing.
Tobey, Tobey, gnawing, gnawing,
Kirsten, Kirsten, gnawing, gnawing.
Everybody' gnawing, gnawing,
Lots of logs I'm sawing, sawing.
At last it's come to the end.
Hope that ears will sometime mend.
Stopped, 180-dB sound.
Drop 180, kiss the ground.
Boring was "Spider,"
"Borat" was nicer.
Chewing scenery and all.
Box office ain't in the red.
Plot is stitched with flimsy thread.
Boring is "Spider,"
Boring is "Spider."
Lots of popcorn on the floor,
Kick it as I twitch and snore.
Wake me when it's over, please,
While it's on I'll catch some Z's.
Boring is "Spider,"
Boring is "Spider."
Sleeping, nodding,
Sleeping, nodding,
Sleeping, sleeping, nodding, nodding,
Sleeping, sleeping, nodding, nodding,
Sleeping, sleeping, nodding, nodding,
Sleeping, sleeping, nodding, nodding.
Surroundsound system's not small,
Each ear stuffed with cotton ball.
After "Spider" dreck, need a cure. . .
Watch SPICE XXX for sure.
Boring is "Spider,"
Boring is "Spider."
Tobey's gnawing,
Kirsten's gnawing.
Tobey, Tobey, gnawing, gnawing,
Kirsten, Kirsten, gnawing, gnawing.
Everybody' gnawing, gnawing,
Lots of logs I'm sawing, sawing.
At last it's come to the end.
Hope that ears will sometime mend.
Stopped, 180-dB sound.
Drop 180, kiss the ground.
Boring was "Spider,"
"Borat" was nicer.

Wonderfully worded, as per usual... although I admit to being a bit shocked over your strong `thumbs-down` reaction to `Charlotte`s Web!`
Am I the only one who actually like the new Spider-Man 3 movie? Sure it was a bit of a chick flick, and had really cheesy lines like, "If it's a woman you're calling tell her you're a good woman, I'm a good man", but all in all I enjoyed it, and I haven't seen Borat, so I can make a judgement call on that. Still I give you 5's for expressing your hate for McGwire.
great stuff...my favorite of the day
Thanks, TJC, Matthias, Alvin
Thankyou Matthais! I loved it! Dissapointing, but loved it none the less. The cheesy lines were hilarious. But I wrote a hateful parody about Superman Returns, and if I can do that, you can do this.5-5-5, funny stuff, especially the Tobey lines
LOL the Borat line ruled, and so iddt his parody ,5s form me! I liked it too, just nootm as much as the 2nd
I never see new flicks till their old ones, but I saw Spider one, and most of two...I don't think a third was neccesary...great spoof.
I'm with Matty, JAB... although I acknowledge it was still a victim of the law of diminishing returns, I quite liked Spidey 3. But this was a great roasting done to probably The Who's strangest tune. 555
whoa am I out of the loop - it made no sense to me, until I read the comments and saw what it was about and that everybody else got it - and now of course I can reread and appreciate - 555
