The Lyrics

I-5 runs through the central valley of California. The central valley includes cities such as Fresno and Bakersfield and is known for smothering heat in the summer, and due to being a valley there is little air flow so air quality is very poor.
On a long major highway
Warm breeze in the air
Sticky perspiration
Matting down all my hair
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a brown looming haze
My eyes were burning, it was hard to breathe
I just needed to graze

There she stood in the doorway
She worked at Taco Bell
And I was thinking to myself
That I’d surely wound up in hell
Then she gave me my order
So I could go on my way
There were voices cross the parking lot
I thought I heard them say

“Welcome to the armpit California
Such a horrid place (such a horrid place)
Such a sweaty face
Nothing to do in the armpit California
Any time of year (any time of year)
It’s depressing here.”

It's perfect so far - pacing, concept, humor is all there. But it's a long song and you barely made it a third of the way. You're expected to parody the whole song. Maybe that's why you're not getting any feedback..

The author of the parody has authorized comments, and wants YOUR feedback.
