The Lyrics
Commas and dashes are included only as a guide to pacing for the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAq3iWhCzMg
Pre-pare team to meet, with the board
Keith, tells me this can't-- be ignored
Meet, Bob Lee, the chair of the board
He's, scary, he's out --of his gourd
We are, seeing cash flow-- go upward
Please, pass me coffee, will ya Gord?
Peter Bjornshee, he thinks --that we've scored
He's investing, in a-- Norway fjord
Cheese factory profits --have now soared (goin' public now!)
Gena McGee found where, uranium's stored
She, made sure EPA --was ignored. (tell stockbrokers wow!)
Greed, makes me just feel-- so assured!
Keith, tells me this can't-- be ignored
Meet, Bob Lee, the chair of the board
He's, scary, he's out --of his gourd
We are, seeing cash flow-- go upward
Please, pass me coffee, will ya Gord?
Peter Bjornshee, he thinks --that we've scored
He's investing, in a-- Norway fjord
Cheese factory profits --have now soared (goin' public now!)
Gena McGee found where, uranium's stored
She, made sure EPA --was ignored. (tell stockbrokers wow!)
Greed, makes me just feel-- so assured!

This is a kind of parody where you need to varey the chorus in order to get anything accomplished. Tough parody, not because it's super epic, but because you have to tell a story by repeating the same line over and over again.
A fine job, Agri. Songs that demand (or at least allow) endless assonant iterations of a single sound while maintaining proper pacing and thematic consistency/continuity are fun, and sure to be well-received when, as here, well done (It's what keep "Busted" among my favoriytes to pastiche.) :-) 5s for this.
for your ditty, fives were scored

I really enjoyed your parody. This is always a goo song. As you can tell by my name I am a WICKED fan. So of couse I love songs by Stephen Schwartz! I loved the song.
Not much to this song is there... A bit short, but I like what you did with just having one line to work with (And I thought The Beatles's "Why Don't We Do It In The Road?" was bad)
small but perfectly formed. good job with so little to work with
(Ages2) Incredibly short, but effective. I'm not a big fan of the 'really short OS' styling, but it allows one to show off what they can do with so little.
AGES...you get an A++ for doing an OS that I could never do...and for doing it well!
(Ages) Very clever work, varying on the OS. A little rough on the pacing. 4-5-5. PS: I was the "sexy broad" in Godspell! at Riverside Church, NYC, 1980!
(Ages) I enjoy when someone tries something "out of the box"
Also, as was once said "greed is good"
Nice job Agri...
Also, as was once said "greed is good"
Nice job Agri...
(Ages) Yes very short, Not a bad parody, you really had to squeeze it to make it funny--but it worked Agri. . .fun quick read.
(Ages) I agree with above, a good job on a parody with limited lyrics. I think you did a great job with the use of the OS.
