The Lyrics
Okay, this should be more relateable than my last one.
[intro]
Telemarketing calls,
During my dinnertime...
Televangelists' 'faith',
And of course those damn mimes!
Sound of rubber that's peeled,
While I'm trying to sleep
(And) The whine of a child,
Well these things are annoyin' - to me
To get s*** on by doves,
Anything made from tofu!
When you ask for the truth,
Some continue to snow you
There's the 'flavor' of liver,
Last sheet of TP
And the stain from a beet,
Well these things are annoyin' - to me
No!....,
No more litterbox smell!...
No more reading small fonts!
No more standing in lines!...
NO!.....,
When the cable goes out...
Poison ivy rashed skin...
When it rains through the night...
When I hear someone snore,
When we start tourist season
When a paper edge cuts you,
Blow snot while you're sneezin'!
When I cram for a test,
And the grade is a D
When I'm told 'go to hell',
Well these things are annoyin' - to me
[humming part, but if that's annoying skip it]
No!....
No more dust on the shelves!...
No more airing re-runs!...
Dumb dogs barking all night!...
NO!.....,
When the money goes out...
Faster than it comes in...
And that raise was denied...
When swimming I find,
There is piss in the pool
When I wake up from sleepin',
I'm covered in drool
When my day is predicted,
By ass-trology
If the stars were aligned,
They could see my behind!,
And that's always annoying - to me!
[humming outro]

Very well done...in sort of a "Few Of My Unfavorite Things" style..top fives
What AFW said --- excellent job, Red Ant.
you have my vote of three 5's on this one.
This isn't annoying.
masterfully written
LOL! Jack, nothing wrong with reruns though, especially if they're X-File reruns. 5's (So cute, I'd like to print it out).
Great job on this one!
Lots of funny stuff...although my favorite line came early: those DAMN mimes indeed. And I, for one, love it when people tell me to go to hell...hehehehe.
Thanks AFW, Johnny D, Carol, Agrimorfee, Alvin, Pat, MasonR and Arwen.
Pat: Print this out? Feel free.
Arwen: Just a few hours ago I got some new (weak) slams thrown my way: Lame and Leech (capitalized no less). More inventive than go to hell, so I loved it. Go to hell is just so... pathetic.

Amazing parody, so funny, 5's
555, good. ^__^
I most be one of the very few people on this planet that actually likes the taste of liver (liver, potatoes and onions, ahh...) but I kinda agree with most of the rest. :-)
Ant: You know what makes me want to clobber people? Bad parodies of Billy Joel songs. You're quite safe. And, by a weird coincidence, when I got to the part about dogs barking, wouldn't ya know it, I heard one start up. Arwen: As Billy Crystal has taught us, a mime is a terrible thing to waste. Another comedian, Steven Wright, likes to put a blank tape in his VCR and turn the sound all the way up, just to drive the mime next door crazy. Every time I see one, I'm tempted to ask, "Who is this clown?"
Thanks Larry, Step-chan, Peter and Michael.
Peter: Liver was more of a convenient rhyme than an annoyance/dislike.
Michael: At first your comment had me worried, but I'm glad you liked this one since you are the resident Billy Joel afficianado here.

(ABC3) Like I said 1 year and 20 days ago.
(ABC3-T) Excellent. Very funny, and all very annoying (subjects, not the parody of course).
Good answer to "Things that provoke (Cat's) ire", and a parody of the same songwriter to boot.---MM
ABC - LOL
"If the stars were aligned they could see my behind" with lines like that this paordy is far from annoying to me
(ABC3-T) To add to the list: When the neighbours have a kareoke night (they canna sing, cap'n!) and my brother. All in all, awesome parody!
(ABC3T) Very top stuff.
(ABC) I do agree with Michael in the sense that it does remind me of a certain work of my own...even if this one predates it! Anywho, I absolutely loved this, some brilliant subs in there, and I agree with Matthias on how great the "see my behind" line is.
(ABC3T) wow - fantastic Jack - I just read it to the OS, and you pretty much rhymed each last syllable to the OS throughout - plus great wordplay (ass-trology) and witty detail - loved it - 555
(ABC) See above!
(ABC3T) Great parody, Jack! TMGLTM but "ass-trology" was a great idea. 555 :-)
(ABC3T) Although annoying things is a well-trodden thematic path here at Amiright, this shows so much quality it deserves all the kudos it recieves. Sterling work. 555
ABC...I still love Love LOVE this...but I have to say, for the record, and in all seriousness...that I LOVE a rainy night. Especially if there is thunder!!
This was brilliant, I loved the mime line because Matthias' recording is still in my head. Great job fitting all these things into the song.
Loved it, loved it! 5s
Thanks Aggy, Wolverine, Michael McVey, Max, Matthias, Pieman, Jason, Cat, Johnny D, Rick, Kristof, Arwen, Jeff and Jack!
