I'll "magnifry" some ants Love it. This song has been done to death but I believe you are the first to actually say anything about Illinois in this parody. I actually lived in the midwest for a few years (Neb - Iowa) and you do describe the summer scene accurately. A fresh twist to a popular parody number earns my respect and 5s. Well done.

Bored?? :D I liked it, Melhi.

Thanks Guy, Billy, Wild Man (Hey, hey! Mas Chalupas!) and Pat. Pat, nah... I manage to keep myself occupied. ;)

Funny! Good expressive lyrics, evoking a 'scene' anyone who hasn't been stuck in megapolsis all their life can relate to. Loved it!

This one made me laugh out loud! Good job! :-D

Like Guy, I love the word "magnifry." Good work as usual!

Thanks Mike, Merry and Spaff!! Glad you enjoyed it.

I like this one, and for some reason, got a big kick out of singing "Watched some fat guy sweatin', it was fascin-et-in'"

Melhi - November 05, 2003 - Report this comment

Fun to watch and fun to sing, it's the perfect hobby. (Ok, maybe not.) Thanks Rick!

Another hit, Melhi! (Too bad I don't recognise some of the songs you've parodied in the past - this could go on for a month!)

Melhi - December 06, 2003 - Report this comment

Thanks AussieBullDog! Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks, too, for being a big part of making this week so much fun... and same goes to the rest of you who stopped in and checked out my stuff, this week. You've all been so great and it was really nice of you to make a little extra time to read and rate some of my older stuff! :) It's especially great seeing some of the parodies that slipped under the radar, back when I submitted them getting noticed, now. I hope the next vict... er... honoree has as much fun as I've had. :)

I'll never again be able to listen to the Creedence version without singin' yours. I too, enjoyed the "magnifryin' ants", but for pure rural entertainment, we used to "a-salt slugs", and watch 'em foam. Yep, life on the farm was kinda laid-back.

HAW !! This is hilarious....555

Melhi - December 06, 2003 - Report this comment

Thanks David and Johnny D! David, oh yeah, I've "a-salted' many a slug, (I like that) in my day, too! :D

I like this one enough to have stolen - er, borrowed - from it for one of mine. (Please drop the suit, Mel. I'm begging you.)

Melhi - June 10, 2004 - Report this comment

Thanks Jack and Spaff! (Putting the chicken suit on the floor, backing away slowly) There you go Spaff, wear it in good health... you didn't have to get all weird about it, you could've just asked. ;)

Claude Prez - June 11, 2004 - Report this comment

First of all, I can't believe I never commented on this one; actually I could've sworn I had. Maybe someone magnifried my brain. Second, great stuff throughout; for some reason this time the "Stunning lack of natural features" bit struck me as particularly good. Third, it really needs a line like "alien invaders--wait that's just cicaders" right now. And finally, your chicken suit joke had me rolling.

Melhi - June 11, 2004 - Report this comment

Thanks Claude! No cicadas here, yet -- leastwise, not the seventeen year variety -- all of Illinois is counting on you (yes, just you Claude) to hold them in Indiana... especially now that we had to give Spaff the chicken suit (which we had hoped would scare the critters back over the border.) ;)

Hehe... there seems to be a strangely high proportion of genius in the 'g' songs than elsewhere. Almost every song I've seen so far has gone on my list of possible votes, including this one. Geez. Anyway, 5'd.

Melhi - June 12, 2004 - Report this comment

Thanks Merry (who is officially my favorite person, today. ;) ) & Neminem! Neminem, I know what you mean!! Reading through the entries was a blast, but choosing between them was torture and then I had just as tough of a time with the May SOTM.

John Jenkins - June 12, 2004 - Report this comment

Excellent parody. I liked the "decision" couplet.

Paul Robinson - June 13, 2004 - Report this comment

(ABC) Melhi, Great job! 5-5-5. This one pre-dates my days here on the site so I had never seen it before. That one of the fun things about this contest. Don't know if you saw mine to this song, "Countin' Spots on The Floor", which I put up around the end of December this last year - if not you might be amused if you take a gander. Reading yours here I can't help but think that your character might have been the younger version of my character.

Jeff Reuben - June 13, 2004 - Report this comment

Very funny song! Great job!

Melhi - June 13, 2004 - Report this comment

Thanks John, Paul and Jeff! Paul, I do remember that one of yours - I liked it very much and it didn't strike me at the time, but now that you mention it, they do sound like they could be about the same person, yours picking up a few years after mine leaves off! Cool!

Thanks for the chicken suit, Mel. And wow - I sure wish everyone would fulfill my apparel-removal requests that willingly.

(delayed abc's comment) Very enjoyable and very well written. Best CCR parody I've seen so far.
