Parody Song Title:
"Walk On The Ocean Vs. We Are The Champions"
Parody Written by:

The Lyrics
Official video for the original song. (That way, I don't have to worry about the link leading you to a removed video.)
Also, here is a page showing the lyrics to "Walk On The Ocean", since it features a few "said under the breath" syllables that are hard to hear in the recording.
Two other things: 1) You'll have to ignore the song's third verse and chorus, as the lyrics to the Queen song only provide enough for TWO verses. Sorry about that. And 2) As is the case with the Queen song itself, "champions" is sung as a two-syllable word.

My dues I have paid them
Paid them time after time
I've done my sentence
But not one crime
Mistakes - very bad ones
Yes, I've made a few
Had sand kicked in my face
Still, I've come through
We are the champions
Champions, my friend
We'll keep on fighting
Right till the end
My bows I have taken
And my curtain calls
Fame, fortune, you've brought me
And though I thank you all...
It's been no bed of roses
It's been no pleasure cruise
I call it a challenge
I ain't gonna lose
We are the champions
Champions, my friend
We'll keep on fighting
Right till the end
We are the champions
Champions, my friend
No time for losers
Fight till the end!
Paid them time after time
I've done my sentence
But not one crime
Mistakes - very bad ones
Yes, I've made a few
Had sand kicked in my face
Still, I've come through
We are the champions
Champions, my friend
We'll keep on fighting
Right till the end
My bows I have taken
And my curtain calls
Fame, fortune, you've brought me
And though I thank you all...
It's been no bed of roses
It's been no pleasure cruise
I call it a challenge
I ain't gonna lose
We are the champions
Champions, my friend
We'll keep on fighting
Right till the end
We are the champions
Champions, my friend
No time for losers
Fight till the end!
I claim credit for the idea for this mash-up (or "smoosh", or whatever you want to call it), but NOT for the lyrics themselves. (Just covering my bases, legally speaking.)

I liked it!
How much of this is pure mash-up? BTW, shouldn't it be and instead of vs in the parody title? I once did a mash+up of Rihanna and Gaga as "Only Girl in the World Born this Way" crediting both OS and artists. 5s for attempt
