The Lyrics
A fun fact not many people know... John Denver was one of the first gay cowboys... Okay maybe that was Elton John, but I'm sure some John was a gay cowboy!
Well life in the west ain't really laid back
I got saddle sores and I got a broke back
Spend time with the guys, means play hacky "sack"
O Gawd! I'm a gay cowboy
My mama said this life would do me some harm
Got Carson Kressly resting on my arm
My lays are all fab, don't mean to cause alarm
But Gawd! I'm a gay cowboy
Well, don't got a fine wife, but not sleeping single
When the campfire's out all us men tend to mingle
Wife ain't nothing when urges start to tingle
So Gawd! I'm a gay cowboy
When there's no more sun that's when fun starts to grow
Pull out my fiddle and I'm playing with my bow
The kids start to peak, and I let them have a go
Then Gawd! I'm a gay cowboy
I'd lay Sammy good all day if I could
But my boss and the cows would take it very good
So I diddle when I can
Work with my wood
Cause Gawd! I'm a gay cowboy
Well, I got me a BF, who sure likes to fiddle
When nights coming down, the tent shakes a little
Wood's sure strutting, so I like to whittle
Don't make me a gay cowboy
YEEHAW!!!
(Piddle I mean Fiddle Solo)
Well, I wouldn't trade this job for condoms or mules
I never was one of them women liking fools
I'd rather use my fiddle for just charming males
Well Duh, I'm a gay cowboy
Yeah, City Folk asking could you "Macho Man" sing
Tell these sad people, don't Village People scene
Son, Oklahoma, is so much more serene
Cause huns, I'm a gay cowboy
Don't got me a fine fife, but I sure like to fiddle
Culinary's top-notch crab cakes on the griddle
Life's not living till you "come out" a little
Well Gawd! I'm a gay cowboy
YIPPIEE!!!
Well, I fiddled round with Eddie till that Shawnee died
Then he held me by the hand into TP's inside
Said, "Use your wood right, play that fiddle with pride"
Cause O Gawd! You're a gay cowboy
That Shawnee taught me hung how to hunt, and planting pickles
Taught me how to jerk and how to tune up my fiddle
Taught me how to love nature just a little
That's why I'm a gay cowboy
Never had a fine wife, I just go and fiddle
Got a son "coming out" taught him how to piddle
Wife ain't nothing, but ball, and chain, and shackle
I RECKON
That's why I'm a gay cowboy!
Yep!!!

This is a Hoot without the Nanny...Mucho funny..
Funny...but I thought John Denver had a wife and a son.
555, clever, gay funny.
excellent scribblin'
Becky: Ah, your right, so it must be Elton John.... AFW, Stephen, and Alvin: Thanks Huns...
Talk about better than the OS. Nice job! 5s
Thanks Pardner!!!
In 1975, Elton John released an album titled "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy." I was led to believe he was the former, and never gave a thought as to who the latter was. John Denver had many reasons to sing a song titled "I'm Sorry," but being gay wasn't one of them. Then again, he did seem to have a tight relationship with those Muppets... As for this song... Unfortunately, five is as high as we can go, so I can't give bonus points for mentioning Carson Kressley. (But I won't take any off for misspelling his name, either. Serves him right.)
Giddy up - nice write and I second the "clever" comment. Kudos for the creativity of thinking and writing (well) to the Denver song. Mr. Pacholek mentioned "Captain Fantastic . . ." - released when I was about 13 or 14 (I was a fan back then) - it was the last of Sir Elton's albums that I ever bought - (I think it quickly went to cut-out status at my local Caldor's) - the title may have been the first cut "released" but I believe it also contained "Someone Saved My Life Tonight". Coming off of Caribou and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, I was disappointed and moved on to ELO, Steely Dan, Yes, etc.
wow, Matthias, this is a barrel of funny lines and wordplay, "I got a broke back" being just one example - a SOTM entry I'm tipping - 555
(SOTM) I don't know what a piddle is (could somebody please explain?), but this was pretty funny, but it was hard to follow because of the fast tempo and the rate of the lyrics. 544
(SOTM) YEEEE-HAW!! Uproariously hilarious, Matthias, I felt myself laughing like a hyena while listening to the OS...this just might be your best parody ever! On a side note, it's sort of weird looking at the John Denver album covers in the right-hand margin, since I happen to have a crush on a guy at my school who looks VERY much like John Denver. And I can't imagine him singing country at all.
Thanks Mike, Robert, Stu (Thanks for the SOTM tipp-age), Chris (Piddle {verb} To engage in sexual contact with another person of the samse sex... word invented by Matthias), and Cat (There's a 16 year old boy out there looking like a 50 year old country singer... what are they feeding these kids now-a-days, just kidding Cat)
Let's hope he's not looking like John Denver does NOW...he's been dead for 9 years! (he died when he crashed a plane he was piloting, if you didn't know)
So, is this song the result of John Denver de-composing? (Sorry, someone had to say it.) I wonder if they'll be marching (sashaying?) to this at the next Gay Pride parade. Lots of laughs in this one.
Actually Cat... I didn't know that, I'm so sorry I missed the funeral, as well as calling him gay... Ah, but what happened in the past, happened in the past!
(SOTM) Very hard to sing this, yes, especially after the (ahem!) Piddle Solo. It went on a little too long, and the gags got a little repetitive in the process. Sorry, Matthias.
This goes straight (no pun intended) to my shortlist. Furthermore I'm glad I didn't go with my own "Gay King Kong" *cough* 70s/abba126.shtml *cough* for this SOTM round as you're squeezing soo much more out of the theme than I managed to do.
(SOTM) Interesting parody, but no vote for personal reasons.
SOTM-Brokeback
Well isn't this a gay, old time. I've heard gay guys don't just go around getting laid constantly, but I reckon like most of us straight guys, they probably think about getting some constantly. Funny stuff, my favorites included the 'single/mingle/tingle' stanza and 'Life's not living till you "come out" a little'.
SOTM: Wasn't there a movie about this recently? =) I'd like to hear this version during the 7th inning stretch.
(SOTM) Didn't see "Brokeback Mountain", so the humor is lost on me. Good work though.
(SOTM)...Charming. I get the broke back joke, even though I don't know what the movie is about. Good one, Matthias.
(SOTM) Well, you certainly annoyed the Ones Gay..er..Guy with this one, Matthias. Lots of good lines and cleverness make for a 555 in my book though.
(sotm) see above - and just to choose one, "Wife ain't nothing when urges start to tingle" was very nice, but a lot of good ideas honoured here, matthias
(SOTM) I haven't seen the movie either, so the name references were lost on me. Piddle is, AFAIK, a little kids verb meaning 'to take a piss', but your definition of it is at urbandictionary.com. I struggled a bit singing this, but I'm not gonna dock you for it since TOS is sung fairly fast. Ditto what 2nz and Rick C said too. 555.
(sotm) unfortunately when you write a parody this good, it's believable
One or two good lines in here: if I had to pick one it'd be the "Taught me how to love… nature just a little" 'cause of the "gotcha" (if you see what I mean)
SOTM--totally made me laugh!
(SOTM) I'm just a teensy bit disturbed by this one. Though it is interesting taking a song and making a parody that goes completely against the grain of what people would expect from that artist...
(SOTM) Wow...that's actually pretty funny, dude!
(SOTM) Interesting parody, ok
This was awesome! 555! and did you hear the OS in Son In Law? Cause thats how i know it too..
