Dialogue 1

[ DEE RANGE AND STUEY POO EMERGE FROM THE VILLAGERS AND TAKE A STROLL ]


DEE RANGE
"tis another glorious day in AmIRight, Stuey Poo


STUEY POO
You speak the truth my fellow lowly courtier. What say we see who's enjoying the day


DEE RANGE
Splendid. Although I've enjoyed citizenship of AmIRight for longer than you, you are quite the historian and can enlighten me as to the goings-on in the kingdom



STUEY POO
(approaching Mayor Phil)
Then first I'd like you to meet the Mayor of AmIRight, Sir Phil. Sir Phil, meet my companion Dee Range


MAYOR PHIL
Pleased to make your acquaintance, Dee. I trust you will find AmIRight a convivial place. It's in the chemistry, you see. When the carbon/hydrogen balance synchronises with the nitrogen levels, and the dihydrogen monoxide count is low


STUEY POO
lost me, Phil


MAYOR PHIL
Well it's a bit like comparing the UNIX OS of the early eighties with WINDOWS XP


STUEY POO
nuh...Dee?


DEE RANGE
(shakes head)
nuh


MAYOR PHIL
(sigh) then let me just introduce you to our citizens. Over there, chair on a backwash, drinking humble in svelte risque, is Adagio. And over there, regaling his fans with fabulous tales of faraway places, like DementoLand and Willtopowerville, is Guru Spaff. And on yonder hill is Claude, curator of the AmIRight Museum, which houses the prestigious "Works Of SOTM" and historically-important curios like "The Bong Song" ...and see those two? down that alley?

DEE RANGE
Down that alley? Alas, there's nought there but shadows!


MAYOR PHIL
Yes, that's Merry and Pippin – "though I'm not sure which is which..and see that big crowd of people over there, all writing "Constipated" parodies to Avril Lavigne's "Complicated" - they're the newbies...


STUEY POO
and there, enjoying the adulation of the village, are the Top Ten Parodists, esteemed Village elders.


DEE RANGE
The Top Ten Parodists? Tell me more, Stuey Poo


[ AGRIMORFEE APPROACHES AND INTERRUPTS ]


AGRIMORFEE
Excuse me, kind sir, but did you just enquire as to the Top Ten Parodists?


DEE RANGE
I did indeed, although I meant no offense


AGRIMORFEE
Nay, truly, they are the lifeblood of the kingdom. The TTP reign at the head of the AmIRight Author Index and are no less than the yardstick by which all of us are judged.

"They'll None Of "Em Be Missed"

Parody by Agrimorfee
:
"The Top 10 Parodists"


AGRIMORFEE
On the Author Index as you may casually surf around
You'll find yourself a list of major parodists
The AmIRight songwriters, so prolific and profound
So now let's describe the gist--The Top 10 Parodists

There's the British Malcolm Higgins who writes it all for laughs
'Bout people who have flabby glands and other social gaffes
William Tong who hates the Red States and politics like that
'Specially for he who wrung his hands and led invasion of Iraq
And good Rick Duncan who's fun humor you cannot resist
(His wife Mari he kissed)--He's third guy on the list

They're prolific parodists, they're prolific parodists
So they made the Top 10 List, they made the Top 10 List

Now John Barry, so creative, puts a smile upon your face
He's written many hits--he's fourth here on this list
And the one named Mike Pacholek, he's from Joisey--in your face!
But he's not an egotist--he's cinco on the list
That guy, DeRito, praise him, he wrote 7 songs for "One"
Wrote "Techies Nerds and Geeks", and "Barbara Bush's Son"
And Tokusu Sentai Blessranger, a crazy kind of guy,
Who rarely matches song pace; I don't think he cares to try
Then the one named Johnny D - the cunning linguist!
That wacky satirist--he's eighth upon the list

They're prolific parodists, they're prolific parodists
So they made the Top 10 List, they made the Top 10 List

And Phil Alexander here now often writes of U.K. life
And of grammar and physics--number 9 on this here list
And Alvin Rhodes, comic man, South Park Al second life
No way he can be dissed, he's tenth guy on this list

All apologies--if you write less, you aren't quality deprived:
See Bob Pags-- Martha--Red Ant--and Agri-(never mind)
Mike Squirrel, and Spaff.com--and yes, Adagio...
The task of writing up this song is daunting, don't you know
Before I neglect to name folks who'll end up being ticked
Thank Chuck for all of this, thank Chuck for all of this

They're prolific parodists! they're prolific parodists!
So they made the Top 10 List, they made the Top 10 List!
