The Lyrics
Another Mr. Bungle song parodied (Warning the end of this song is quiet, but still disgusting). Here's the OS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIxLRKQ6fb4
In the breeze it used to flow
I looked like Fabio those days
Kept my hair so nice and thick
Had a mullet like a hick
(Yee-hee-haw-haw!)
Scalp was mountainous and my head’s a forest
My reflection had rejoiced
Till I lost it (Was not my choice)
Just what happened to my hair?
It used to stay upon my head
Now I find it in the drain
See Michael Stipe and I both look… the same
People all point and stare
Because… my head’s gotten… so sparse
I’ve gotta look chic, and regrow my hair
(Mop Top, Mop Top)
I’ll try this fur-producing salve
Squeeze ointment, rub it in
From my ears the hairs sproutin’
And… my… scalp’s… still… MIGHTY THIN!!!
Cosmetologist help me!
Cause that’s why you are employed!
I miss that hair I slicked with much… gel and Crisco cream
When you say my head’s destroyed
Forehead is glistening…
My fears… you’re… bringing
Truth is stinging
(Truth is stinging, stinging, Truth is stinging, stinging, Truth is stinging)
Science has now found the key
Use the hair from your butt and knees
And stick it onto where you think
You’ll have hair… before you can wink
(Chopping off hair)
“OUCH!”
Head is stinging
(Head is stinging, stinging, Head is stinging, stinging, Head is stinging)
Not much hair down there I grow
So I’m still bald, it really blows!
Remiss the formation of my once hairy location
(Whisper)
Your hair is ultimate temptation
Sick of wigs and the toupees
Organ donors give to science
Why not give your hair to me?
I’ll just wear hats then I suppose
Or pass Rogaine and squeeze a load
While hair’s my propriety
For now I’ll look like Mr. Clean
The Fab Five Crit-IQUE ON MY HAIR!!!
“Shave it down and take off years…”
“I kinda look like Britney”
(Matthias’s producer calling him from the bathroom)
(Producer)
“Bald jokes
Bald jokes
Bald jokes
Bald jokes
Bald jokes
Bald jokes
Can hurt, you know”
(Matthias)
“Just wear a hood
Your bald spot reflects the light”
(Producer)
“Bald jokes cause frustration”
(Matthias)
“Bald jokes are recreation”
(Producer)
“No good”
(Matthias)
“Bald jokes are just plain hip”
(Producer)
“No way”
(Matthias)
“Bald jokes give off fine tips”
(Producer)
“Their trite
And bite
“Bald jokes are finished”

Funny idea and very well done...
(ABC-Q) Hair-raising effort.
Don't know who is more hair or hell raising - you with this parody or Mr. Bungle with the OS. This is whacked along with your hair, sir.
Comment and voting has been done for the "Q" round. Matt - I was having an extremely bad day yesterday and I am
very sorry for slamming you as I did. It is all my bad and there is nothing that I can do to ever take those words back and if there were they would be gone.
Ah, Mike Patton's "normal" side, lol. This was a hell of an effort, Matt. Favorite line (amongst many): "Organ donors give to science/
Why not give your hair to me?". 555
(ABC4) Good look in scoring a podium on this one, a very difficult song for the uninitiated to listen to! Better revisement for this line: "Scalp was mountainous, head was a forest..." (see the tense usage?). I got lost on some of the meaning in the final parts, but isn't that like a Bungle song? :) 555
What is it with this round and horrible OS's, Matthias, I'd rather listen to Wreck of Edmund Fitzgerald again than this OS or the one by Nina. . .that's saying a lot. . .but ANYWAY, I think you paced it well, and other than one sudden change in tenses in the beginning, pretty much perfect on structure . . . but please NEVER make me listen to that song again--Please, I BEG YOU
As Dave mentioned, I too am wondering about some of the OSs in this round.
I mean, to people actually say "I think I'd like to listen to some music...hmmmm...I know...'Slowly Going Deaf by Mr. Bungle'...of every single song ever recorded since the dawn of man...that's the one I want to hear.
Seriously, you did a good job on this write...well done

(ABC) my musical world has been expanded irretrievably during this round (I'm sad to say) - what the? - funny use of the bizarre OS, Matt - fave line: "Just what happened to my hair?
It used to stay upon my head" - yeah those ungrateful hairs just take take take then they grow up and leave home don't they - 555
