The Lyrics
Buddies told me, yes, they told me I'd Find jerks like you.
They also told me, dont read that, the song will make you wretch.
Earlier Today I heard an author bragging on, some incoherent junk that's listed now
My songs alright, mostly alright, they just seem a little weird.
Whatever, Whatever, i'm not gonna quit today, ay, ay, ay.
Dude, he says, 'Your songs aren't right I know about these things.
doesnt matter how it works, because i dislike all your things
Now, I had heard That you have read all my cool stuff before.
But this song ins't one of those and wont be beat for years.
My songs alright, mostly alright, they just seem a little weird.
Whatever, Whatever, i'm not gonna quit today, ay, ay, ay.
Whatever happened to make you thing you'd chase me out of here?
Ev'ry time I write up something, I post it with no fear
When I woke up, I found more trash has just been posted out
Really People Get a life, My songs make people Shout!
My songs alright, mostly alright, they just seem a little weird.
Whatever, Whatever, i'm not gonna quit today, ay, ay, ay.
Today.
Today.
Repeat chorus 7x

This song is begging to be attacked from all angles. CMON! lets see 3 or 4 different views on Surrender. Heck take this and work it over wtf, i dont care
Gary, you have a VERY funny idea here and some great lines scattered through it, but you might consider stripping off the Am I Right references (and refs to Dude), to give the parody a more universal appeal. I think if you try a more playful "devil may care" approach (kind of "sure I'm quirky...ha-ha, whatever"- - Anything but bitter), you may find yourself with a hot parody-writer's anthem on your hands. I've noticed you're taking a more active role in reviewing other folks' parodies (by the way, thanks for the 5 on Christmas Sells), and I hope you're having more fun now than perhaps you did in the beginning. Good things usually come when you aren't hungry for them. I give you credit for hanging in there. Oh yeah - I'll give you your 5's now, 'cause I know you'll earn 'em.
well i am going to get back to it, and make something different out of it, instead of a rebuttal to "Dudes" coments. In fact, as i stated i welcome your take on it, use any of my words you want. it will be back in a different form soon. and beleive me if you had been dragged down the road as many times as i have, bitter would seem an understatement. i think its funny that i started out repairing semi tractors while my brother got a Literary degree. Now he sells new Semi Tractors, and i play on here writing. i do wish i had more time to rate everything that comes on but i dont. and i wont rate anything religous or political. i do think a 4th factor needs to be entered into the voting factor.. Page view count. how many read it, and didnt feel it needed comment or voting on.
Page view count is something I've been considering adding to parodies, and it may appear at some point in the near future. I need to worry about server load issues before I do it though, so it won't be something I rush to do.
