The Lyrics
Since this author's first stab at TOS was reasonably well-received, here's the (sloppy) second.
Young girl, got an itch in your pants?
I said, Young girl, c'mon, let's take a chance
I said, Young girl, horizontally dance
I can make you very happy!
Young girl, through the front and back door
Boldly take you where no man's gone before
I'll respect you; treat you not like some wh*re
Cuddle warmly until we snore
It's fun to play in the Turtilian way
Go for a "ride" in his old Chevrolet
I have everything that young ladies enjoy
You can have fun with all my toys
Dear, I daresay you've a lovely bouquet
Come in and dine at the TT buffet
I've been STD-screened; disinfectedly cleaned
But not quite yet totally weaned
Young girl, are you listening to me?
I said, Young girl, want the Sade de Marquis?
No? Then, Young girl, Dominatrix art thee?
I am good at ev'ry fun thing!
No more must you do it yourself
Bunny-thumper: put it back on the shelf
And just "come" here - all your qualms, I'll al-lay
One hun-dred per-cent straight, not gay
Prepare yourself for a lovely soiree
I'm Tantric-talented: climax, delay
I've a bundle of tricks that I love to employ
Till you pass out from over-joy!
An exhibitionist? Charms on display?
Your territory I'd gladly survey
I'm a lovin' machine; got so much s*x apeal
Feel real zeal, squeal seailin' the deal
Young girl, I dont' look like Tom Cruise
But unlike him, I'll infuse til you ooze
I am "The Man"; cleverly can contrive
What you need: revive your s*x drive
So when Tommy crawls up to you
And says, Young girl, you look long overdue
I've a place near, called the Turtle Café
Risk? Nay! Risqué! What say? Okay!
It's safe to play at the TT chalet
Your loving trust, I would never betray
It's so swell in my shell; it's a nice place to dwell
We can hang out in my "hotel"
Come right this way!
I'm charismatic like JFK
Young girl, Young girl, I will gladly go down --
-- To the ... bus stop; catch that bus for downtown
I'm game to play
(I hope that I don't lose my toupee)
Young girl, Young girl, I'll get rid of your frown
Young girl, Young girl, pound your mound to the ground
Anchors aweigh!
(I took my Cialis™ today)
Pretty ... Woman ... What is that which I see?
Pretty ... Woman ... Yes! She walks back to me!
Ohhhh.... ohhh, Pretty Woman!
I said, Young girl, c'mon, let's take a chance
I said, Young girl, horizontally dance
I can make you very happy!
Young girl, through the front and back door
Boldly take you where no man's gone before
I'll respect you; treat you not like some wh*re
Cuddle warmly until we snore

The pacing sucked, but the content was funny. I really liked your work on this parody, regardless of the pacing issues. 1-5-3.
I liked, "Turtilian way"...got a lot of song titles in here with this turtle fantasy...let me guess..your girl's name is, maybe Shelley?..
I'm surprised they'd let something this "graphic" in here, but I'm glad they did. Nice job! (What's with the "Pretty Woman" tacked on at the end?!)
TooToo funny! Not sure what Andrea's pacing issues were... she may not realize you've written the book on that, so to speak... Many well (casting) couched terms and al(del?)lusions... partic. favs: "bundle of 'tricks'", Trekian "...no man's gone before...", "Risk? Nay! Risqué! What say? Okay!", fractured "gladly go down -- -- To the ... bus stop; "... but for me the best by far...""It's 'swell' in my shell..." LOL!
Got five five fives, to keep that sex drive alive!
Really funny!
you ol' romantic, you...especially liked the bunny thumper line
Andria, I'm always willing to improve. Please show me where the discrepancies are. Cite the particular line of the parody and the matching line of TOS, so I can see where I went wrong. Thanks for the content vote. Looking forward to the specifics of the criticism.
AFW: LOL! -- good one! thanks for v/c.
Yolanda: You should see what they *don't* let in here... Notice the parody has no obscenities, profanities, etc., mostly double-entendre and euphemism.... Hoped someone might find the switch at the end amusing; guess no one did. Nothing ventured, nothing sprained. Thanks for v/c.
TJC: No clue either -- oughta be a rule that all Ones must be accompanied by supporting data :-) Thanks for the support and punny v/c!
Mark Scotti: Thanks! (ya mean the pacing didn't suck? lol)
alvin: yep, that's i ... and so glad someone knew what a BT was... ya been watchin' late night infomercials? :-) thanks for v/c, alvin.

TT: "I said young girl, come on let's take a chance" and "Oh, oh, pretty woman" didn't fit from what I could tell. Then again, I have a hard time understanding the OS at times.
Hey, I wrote the book on pacing! Okay, it was just an article with lots of people's input, but close enough... anyway, the pacing here does not suck, in fact it's recording quality, meaning it's a bulletproof 5. Kudos for subbing in real words for "YMCA", but I must give you all 1s for making me listen to TOS again. =)
Andria:
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground (OS)
I said young girl, come on let's take a chance (parody)
Ten syllables in both, and the stresses match. But even if not, did I get Oned for *one* perceived error? Agree that OS is hard to understand on the radio. I usually provide links to OS lyrics, but thought "everyone" knew this one. Try 3w.http://www.lyricsondemand.com/onehitwonders/ymcalyrics.htm
As mentioned to Yolanda, the switch at the end was an experiment, to throw something a little different in. The last verse *still* matches YMCA, and keeps with the theme; only the end line was from the other OS. An experiment that apparently didn't work out. Thanks for stopping back by.
Red Ant: I don't blame you -- it's the OS that sucks! ... thanks for proofreading the pacing, of which you are indeed an acknowledged expert. And thanks for your time, both here and in your Pacing Guide, which all writers, esp. noobs, should read. (Reply with plug.)

Since I'm taking a trip back into the time capsule, I decided to bring along this one too:

and my own rating guide:
http://www.inthe00s.com/index.php?topic=8930.msg396041#msg396041
which hasn't changed much except that I do dock pacing for wonky em-PHA-sis.

Hi Tommy
No, we have both been a little absent lately, pressure of work and life I'm afraid...

Hi Peregrin,
I know the feeling :-( ... not here very often myself. Wishing the best for both of you, say Hi to Meriadoc for me, and thanks again for taking the time to stop by :-)

Some very clever wordplay in here. I hope she enjoys it.
Glen S, thanks much. Not sure: she was screaming, but pleasure? Pain? Both? d/k lol.
LOL @ "Bunny-thumper: put it back on the shelf"
Norman Zav: You and alvin --- notice there was *not* a footnote expaining. ;) Thanks for read/v/c!
