The Lyrics

This is a contribution to Stuart McArthur's project, "The Pirates Who Penstanzas".
[ Major-Webmaster-General: ]

Tormented with the stuff I've read
In parodies I'm shown

On my mouse-pad I bang my head
My stomach turns and groans

At how the pornographic gist
Of songs turned into noise

Can make one want to try to fist
Or buy oneself some "toys" !!

[ Chorus: ]

Or buy oneself some "toys" ? Ha-ha !!

[ Major-Webmaster-General: ]

Appalled, I swill,
Gin, ale, and pills,
To set my mind at ease

So ill, I'm green,
From lusty scenes,
I'm spying full of sleaze

Spying stuff from lewd submitters!
See their parodies,
Set the censors all a-quiver,
Hustling stupid sleaze!

[ Chorus: ]

Stupid sleaze!

[ Major-Webmaster-General: ]

When I look, and take their measure,
Censorship is just ---
While their Doppler-radar pleasure
Raves tornadic lust!

[ Chorus: ]

Yes it's sleazy and it's rough!
Wave away that sleazy stuff!

Censor, censor, send it hence sir!
Cast away its foul offense sir!

Heaven speed thee, Chucky G,
May thy readers happy be!

Heaven speed thee, Chucky G,
May thy read--ers haaaaap---py be!

[ Major-Webmaster-General: ]

Yet, the sleaze is but a symptom,
Of our world today

Hunter Thompson, Georgie Plimpton,
had a lot to say

[ Chorus: ]

'lot to say!

[ Major-Webmaster-General: ]

Ah! The stu--u--pid lewdly brew--ew--ing,
Of the rogues who--ooo write,
All the sleaze I'm now un--do--oooing,
Morning, noon, and night!

[ Chorus: ]

Shocking tales a rogue could write,
Writing morning, noon, and night!

Am-i-Right, thy bat-tle rages,
For thy smut-less spot-less pages!

Tough a job is Chucky G's,
Censoring the fickle sleaze!

Tough a job is Chucky G's,
Censoring --- the --- fiiiiiiiiiiiiii-ckle sleaze!

Think I saw the comment that might have spurred this piece...enjoyed the read, JD...DKTOS any of the Gilbert/Sullivan stuff, though...HEY - get that tongue out of thy cheek ~ ~ ~

Spoken like an expert on the subject.

This is a marvelous and truthful parody, especially coming from the man who consistently evades ChuckyG's radar.

Johnny, anybody else would have gone for the ubiquitous MG song or one of the more well-known ones. You picked this flowery gem and nailed it - as usual. So well done. This is the very model of - OK, just forget that! 555

"Tough a job is Chucky G's", indeed... :-)
Stuart McArthur - July 13, 2005 - Report this comment
yes, Scathe, now THAT's ironic! Johnny D sympathising with Chucky G's job at censoring submitters like Johnny D!

that is just a beautiful linchpin for the opera JD - I listened to it against the MIDI, which I didn't know, and it's very solemn and circumspect and perfect for setting up the story, and you've just created a pivotal character for the plot - the brow-beaten Chucky G! - and we are determined to help him fight the good fight against those LEWD SUBMITTERS - tally ho! - oh, and, er, 5s :-)

High 5's, Johnny. This would be great coming from anybody. Coming from you makes it doubly hilarious. Bet you grinned all the way through it, and it also explains how you whipped it out so fast, to pardon the expression :-))

DKTOS but enjoyed the read. I really must educate myself to G&S. Seems I'm missing a lot.

Aside from getting lost, this was genius! I especially liked : "Censor, censor, send it hence sir!
Cast away its foul offense sir!

AND, I ditto Stu's comment. 5's
