Song Parodies -> "Oh Smell-a Me, Oh!"
Original Song Title:
"O Sole Mio"
Original Performer:
Enrico Caruso
Parody Song Title:
"Oh Smell-a Me, Oh!"
Parody Written by:
Nala Butt
The Lyrics
O Sole Mio is a song of a young man longing for his sweetheart on a beautiful afternoon and evening, standing under her window and declaring that her face is even more beautiful than the sun after an afternoon rain shower. The final line of the song is translated "It's in your face!"
Well, how could I pass up an opportunity like that!
And so I give you
Oh Smell-a Me, Oh!
The delightful parody in which a young man (me), sneaks up on his brother and lets one go!
Read it with an Italian-English accent. Exaggerate the vowels, roll the Rs. Read (and sing) it slowly, and give it a big finish, as if you are singing in the shower like Caruso.

How sweet the evening,
When you-a watching-a TV,
And you-a munching-a chips-a.
And you-a drinking-a soda,
But theres an omen.
I went to the Deli,
And all youre joy is-a gonna whirl away-a
Italian sausage
Is in-a my gut!
Oh smell-a Me, Oh!
Here comes-a my cut!
Oh smell-a,
Oh smell-a Me, Oh!
It's in-a you face,
It's in-a you face.
Sister doesn't like it.
She thinks it's-a vulgar,
When I fart in-a you face,
And it sends you reeling.
She tells-a Momma,
Nala passed-a gas-a,
But Momma cannot-a stop her face from-a giggling!
Italian sausage
Is in-a my gut!
Oh smell-a Me, Oh!
Here comes my cut!
Oh smell-a,
Oh smell-a Me, Oh!
It's in-a you face,
You SNIIIFF my butt!!!

I went out on a limb with this, but I believe that the site could benefit from a little more culture. In composing the parody, I chose to be true to the Neopolitan standard made famouse by Caruso, Pavarotti, et al, rather than some obscure translation that nobody sings.

Very funny and well written in the toilet humor category...You nailed it, Nala..
(SOTM) More potty humor. It seems to be the biggest singular topic for parodies ever. Overall this is a good parody. The pacing is a little hard to follow, but that's because the OS was hard to follow for me. The jokes were good for the most part. So nice work.
SOTM: Song was little hard for me to follow as well, but potty humor always gets point from me lol
I've personally never been a fan of potty humor but I need to say welcome to the SOTM. Hope you get more votes than from me because I've always been an anti-bathroom type of guy.
SOTM You took a dump...and it turned out gold!!!
I'm sure this will make a nice piece of bad taste scene soundtrack for the future movie American Pie 23 - The Italian Vacation With The Kids, but it won't be on my SOTM top five, sorry.
Poot is funny! Welcome to SOTM, hope to see more of your songs here!
Going in, I was completely prepared to hate this song, but you won me over! Outrageous cuteness! Works great if you keep Caruso’s intensity in mind, and imagine a comic performance as you cue in your intro. Well done!
It can be funny, I'm opposite of Matty-no personal hate against pooh parodies. . .It wasn't bad, just no over the top lines for me. . .simplicity of original didn't give you enough to work with, still pretty funny to imagine this being performed by a seasoned Italian singer
(SOTM) Not bad for a newcomer, I must say. Not much to work with, but it still worked out pretty good. It'd be great to see more from you, you've got potential. 555
