The Lyrics
The original was first a hit for The Four Lads circa 23 B.C. (Before Costco)
This damn bull
Is lost in the Costco
It's a big damn bull
He's lost in the Costco
Now he's tramp-ling kids
Here in the Costco
Not your typical sight
For a Tuesday night
Every aisle
That's here at the Costco
Is a big smashed pile
Down here at the Costco
So if you're in line
Right here at the Costco
You'll be waiting on this damn bull
No more hordes of sporks
Or half-ton Raisin Bran
Why he's in here I can't say
Maybe he heard there's samples today
So!
Let me please
Get out of the Costco
No, you can't get past
The greeters at Costco
Gotta check receipts
Here at the Costco
Why's he poking the shoppers full of holes?
He thinks it's the running of the bulls
Moo moo moo - Moo moo ma moo-moo moo
Moo moo moo - Moo moo ma moo-moo moo
Moo moo moo - Moo moo ma moo-moo moomoo
This damn bull (This damn bull)
Moo moo moo - Moo moo ma moo-moo moo
Moo moo moo - Moo moo ma moo-moo moo
Moo moo moo - Moo moo ma moo-moo moomoo
Watch him charge (AmEx cards)
Now he's torn through Sports
And gored the cell-phone man
How he got here I can't say
Maybe they kicked him out of Big K!
So!
Let the cops
Into the Costco
No, they don't have cards
They can't enter Costco
They put crime scene tape
All 'round the Costco
Why'd they close down my big-ass warehouse store?
Hey look - there's a Sam's Club - right next door!
THIS - DAMN - BULL
Is lost in the Costco
It's a big damn bull
He's lost in the Costco
Now he's tramp-ling kids
Here in the Costco
Not your typical sight
For a Tuesday night
Every aisle
That's here at the Costco
Is a big smashed pile
Down here at the Costco
So if you're in line
Right here at the Costco
You'll be waiting on this damn bull
No more hordes of sporks
Or half-ton Raisin Bran
Why he's in here I can't say
Maybe he heard there's samples today
So!
Let me please
Get out of the Costco
No, you can't get past
The greeters at Costco
Gotta check receipts
Here at the Costco
Why's he poking the shoppers full of holes?
He thinks it's the running of the bulls
Moo moo moo - Moo moo ma moo-moo moo
Moo moo moo - Moo moo ma moo-moo moo
Moo moo moo - Moo moo ma moo-moo moomoo
This damn bull (This damn bull)
Moo moo moo - Moo moo ma moo-moo moo
Moo moo moo - Moo moo ma moo-moo moo
Moo moo moo - Moo moo ma moo-moo moomoo
Watch him charge (AmEx cards)
Now he's torn through Sports
And gored the cell-phone man
How he got here I can't say
Maybe they kicked him out of Big K!
So!

THIS - DAMN - BULL

Wow, this is great! Extra credit for doing a TMBG song which is funny in its own right!
nice job on a difficult song...5s
"Maybe he heard there's samples today" made me LOL. I especially liked this one due to the fact that I hate going to warehouse stores! Wooooo!
Wow. Love TMBG, love this. You gonna do K-Marticle Man next? Build A Little Wal-Mart Your Home? Parody "Ana Ng" and I'll *really* be impressed. Great stuff.
This is awesome!!!1 555! Love it!
Excellent - especially the charging bull line.
I agree with Ashkicksass. That "sample" line about killed me. Great job! :-D
seems I'm the only one who DKTOS - but we have stores like that here, and it's a shame when cell-phone men get gored - anywhere - 555
Thanx, MasonR & scholar rhodes & Mrs. Kicksass & Jackie & Johnkins & Jessica & Stuartiste (or is it?)!
C4P: Parodying "Ana Ng" is a great suggestion. You go first. Heh heh. Oh, and I'm totally gonna steal your "Birdhouse" idea.

Oh... My... GAWD. Never before have I laughed so hard at an Amiright parody before. If I could give you three sixes, I would!
Hey, I came up with an entire half verse for an "Ana Ng" parody, and the best part is I have the whole rest of the year to finish it: "Santa Claus, how come I'm getting coal, and you still haven't brought me no toys or some other majestic presents?" Also, you totally HAVE to steal my "Birdhouse" idea (even though it looks like I skipped a word).
Olvan: 666, hmm... that would be Beastly.
C4P: You damn well better do it. Isn't "Ana Ng" a translation of "Santa Claus" anyway?

I LOVE this song and I LOVE this parody!
Thanx, 2LD4me. They love you back.
Is this based on an actual event, or something hypothetical? Either way, it's amazing. That song never seemed parody-able to me, yet, here you are!
Thanx, Derwood. It's based on an actual event that hasn't happened yet, but will shortly. Watch the news. That's all I'm goonna say.
that was so funny! i loved the Big K part. i loved the whole thing, actually.
Thanx, Garnish. I love it when people love the whole thing, actually.
I'm looking at parodies past tonight. This is incredible! Pacing - timing - rhyming - all perfect...and funny as hell! My compliments! ;D
To the Staff at Spaff.com this is very funny, because here in NorCAL the Saturday morning shoppers who really do resemble bulls fighting for their junk!
Thanx, Old Man Ribber & littleCUPcakes! Previous commenter Derwood Bowen recently recorded this one (albeit as "This Dang Bull" to leave out my naughty D-word). I believe it will be up on the FuMP sideshow (on thefump.com) on August 20th.
Over one year later, this is STILL my favorite parody ever on amiright! ;D
Thanx, OMR. I've been trying to get Robert Lund to record it. Just for you.
