Lunatic wings
I hear you out there
Time you're biding
Strange place for your meetings
I've been told you're coming
I can hear your laughter
Unwise, we are on time
You don't land until way after.
-short instrumental-
Lunatic wings
So polite is your scheming
We are Tennesseans
But you have gone too far.
We know you'd like to poke fun
That's your own delusion
It's clear no john's your crime
"They do not care"is your notion.
- instrumental -
You don't have no plumbing
(you don't have no plumbing)
Don't give that knowing grin this time.
We peer at your missteps
(We peer at your missteps)
Way out long the runway.
Lunatic wings.
I hear you out there.
But in these new stark stages
There is still a flight.
You fly in the sky
And ignore you'll go under...
Do you see the persistence?
As we peel you sunder?
I hear you out there
Time you're biding
Strange place for your meetings
I've been told you're coming
I can hear your laughter
Unwise, we are on time
You don't land until way after.
-short instrumental-
Lunatic wings
So polite is your scheming
We are Tennesseans
But you have gone too far.
We know you'd like to poke fun
That's your own delusion
It's clear no john's your crime
"They do not care"is your notion.
- instrumental -
You don't have no plumbing
(you don't have no plumbing)
Don't give that knowing grin this time.
We peer at your missteps
(We peer at your missteps)
Way out long the runway.
Lunatic wings.
I hear you out there.
But in these new stark stages
There is still a flight.
You fly in the sky
And ignore you'll go under...
Do you see the persistence?
As we peel you sunder?

Adagio, You did a superb job on this. I listened to the midi and you picked a very interesting sounding song to use here. I really liked it with your words. 5's
Thanks Paul.
Good job! =)
Thanks, Diva! Glad to see you still around. :)
Well, I expected this to be about really, really, REALLY hot buffalo wings. I'm not completely sure what it's about though...political wings? I know the original, so I know the pacing is good.
Thnx, Jeff...did you mean to vote? It didn't register.
Adagio, I was actually waiting to make sure I understood what the song was about. I'm thinking political wings right now, but I"m still a bit vague on it.
Oh...it's about a plane trip.
P.S. About a plane trip with no plumbing. I guess they figured that we wouldn't mind. :/
A plane with no loo? (Sounds like it ought to be a "Horse with no name" parody) No shit...
Hehe, thanks, Phil ...that does fit.
(SOTM) Good wordplay and such, but I wasn't quite sure what it was about until I read your comments. Really good parody, 'Dagio.
Trippy stuff; that Canadian midi was cool too.
Thanks, Claude. I really liked that Canadian midi too..kinda spooky at first.
Trippy!
Thanks Emiloca and Spaaaaff!
Totally confused but slightly amused. 534..
(SOTM & L) This is almost like conceptual art. I didn't think I knew the original until I listened to the midi. Nice job with this!
(SOTM) Even after you explained what this is about, the words still didn't seem to make sense. Good idea, but the humour wasn't conveyed, sorry.
Thanks Agri, Melhi and Jake (for reading)!
(ABC) Neatly wacky!
Thanks Johnny.
(ABC) Chalk up another one for Pat and her William Burroughs school of writing! I liked it! :-)
Interesting...although I (obviously) wouldn't have figured out this was about a plane trip without help. I really shouldn't read these things before that ninth cup of coffee =)
Thanks Merry
hehehe, Jeff...your comment cracks me up!
hehehe, Jeff...your comment cracks me up!
I found it strangely intruiging!
Thanks Peregrin!
very surreal Adagio!!
Thanks Martha!
Pointing out lunatics is a good quality in parodies. Well done, Adagio.
Thanks JJ!
(SOTM) See above!
+++Restoring vote lost due to 7-28-04 Amiright vote-history bug+++
(SOTM) Giving you 5's (again!) :-)
Thanks Johnny and Merry!
dktos and still doesn''t make sense to me even after finding out it's about an airplane bathroom. oh well guess that's why i never took an english class in college
Thanks, ethan. Maybe an explanation here? I'm from Tennessee and generally lots of people think we're backhills people...no shoes, using outhouses (that's old). If you want to hear the music, there's a midi at the top of the parody.
I like this one, and some good sound-alikes. It's probably so deep, I shouldn't understand it yet. So I'm right on schedule.
Thanks 2nz! I appreciate you always giving mine a read! :)
