The Lyrics

No, I don't know why the song title is formatted like that (if it doesn't go through, it's "m y . l i f e"). Anyways, how useful in superheroing is breaking through the ceiling window, really?
Oh, it's just so stock (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah), oh, Lord
Seen it play out, seen it play out ev'ry day, yeah (seen it play out ev'ry day, shit)
Oh-oh-oh, God, oh-oh-oh-oh
Change, what I need

Been beatin' up villain types all night and all day (all day)
They don't know where I'll show up? Then it's all great (it's all great)
But they've caught on to a tactic, now it's just all pain (all pain)
I should be mad but I'm not, hate to jump through the whole pane, yeah (the whole pane)
Pun is appallin', I get that but my head is swarmin'
With the headaches that somehow are formin' from all of the constant jumps off of the awnin'
And through solid glass, all of it dropped on the floor, hazard that I'm not wantin' my ass to be facin'
Mean that in a literal sense, if I'm trippin', that's shards in my bottom, that's not so fun, trust me
I can't have criminals mock me by takin' time out to un-glass my butt, please
That's assumin' that I bust clean right through the goddamn window, just go splat like a bug, geez
Manage to roll off before anybody below me can spot me
Hate it, so many chances for mockery, why did I bother? I've not been unlucky
The first couple weeks I decided to do it, it all went so easy, real breezy
But now it's gone diff'rent, it's a problem, what's goin' on with me?
Pretty hard to switch up when you haven't been botchin' at all, bad time for muscle mem'ry
Thought I'd abandoned the envy of those heroes with powers a-plenty
I can't phase through the wall or go teleport-crazy, if I could, I wouldn't look silly
When I get to the site and sit on the ceilin' with no windows conveniently
Wait, shit, for me that's more inconveniently
I can't get out my thoughts sharp and quickly, with reworkin' my plans, I'm too busy

Skylights are made to smash, it looks dramatic, man
Gain the advantage of surprise, which is lovely, the rest of it? Wow, it bugs me
I won't be pausin' (pausin') crime-stoppin' (crime-stoppin') simply because I have a pretty big problem
With how I gain the drop upon their hides, must work around the damn skylight, skylight

All sucks but honestly, I could just let it slide
If I had confidence in my mind if it still granted me real surprise
But now their guns are aimed right where my entrance is, kinda not bulletproof, by the by
Been thinkin' real hard, must catch 'em unawares, corpse from the ceilin' is not advised
Your eyebrows are now raisin' steadily (poppin' up), obvious choice is ahead of me (like, obvs)
They got the roof covered heavily (lockin' up)? There's other spots ordinarily (straight up)
Standard-ass windows could really work, pop out the fireplace merrily (like Claus)
Hell, you wanna shock 'em contrarily (real shock)? Just open the front door, they'd never be (straight up)
The sort to think that a fear-strikin' hero would just voluntarily (poppin' up)
Walk through the door like they're just there to bring in the mail, must be accidentally (poppin' up)
And to be honest, the more that this tangent goes on, the more incrementally (grows strong)
My will to try it out grows, enemies (so dumb) of mine overcorrect readily (keeps on poppin' up, poppin' up)
All of 'em manage to put in their memory
That I smash windows up high customarily, they got that area covered especially
Once they've twigged to front doors, treat 'em carefully
Then I'll be free to deal with their felonies with my old method and I'll do it readily

Skylights are made to smash, my fav'rite part, true fact
Kinda my problematic fave, don't judge me, the parts I hate now still suck, please
I'm only pausin' (pausin') glass-poppin' (glass-poppin') 'till all my foes forget from where I'll be comin'
There is a reason stock tropes still survive, worked then and now, the damn skylight, skylight

Basically, this is this comic but set to a song that was actively trying to put me to sleep mid-afternoon.

Whew !! When you pick songs to parody, you don't mess around. What amazes me is that you came as close to replicating the meter as you did. And likely some of what I'm saying is in error. I ask forgiveness in advance. Now I was unable to reconcile by ear; I resorted to placing the respective lyrics side by side and comparing them manually. Words like "every" "history" and "family" gave me fits. I never did get a clean listen on "every b**** want me like Rihanna..." Two things did make me curious: 1) Did you intend to end a sentence with "by the by?" I needed more syllables there and thought some may have lopped off. 2) OS: "My family (3) tree got a history (2) of users that struggle with demons" has 18 syllables, Your parody of that line, "The first couple weeks I decided to do it, it all went so easy, real (1?) breezy" had 21 syllables. Now sometimes, I could get a near match by moving words from line to line So I'll ask outright, Am I missing something? You obviously put a lot of energy into writing this. I wouldn't have tried. All issues I found had trivial import. Good job and thank you.

In order to actually answer your questions, Glenn (me being the real TCOP, don't ask who that other guy is): 1) Yes, the "by the by" was intentional, it lines up with "homicide". 2) I included the "not really" as part of that line, so that adds another 3 syllables to match with "real breezy" So there you go. Hopefully I'm not coming off as "annoyed you missed it" here, like you said, I don't mess around with song choice, so I'm not surprised you had as much trouble with syllable count as I did. Doesn't help when there's words like "every" and "history" that can have different syllable numbers depending on how you pronounce it...or lyrics sheets that write out "going to" instead of "gonna". Anyways, thanks for the feedback! Sorry for the delay in responding, different time zone here.

No worries about the delay. I have no delusion that anyone spends all day every day on this site just waiting for somebody to comment. And you might even skip a day or two from signing on. I'll go as far as to say that I'm thankful that you responded at all. It shows that you are reading my reviews in the spirit I had intended: to be upbeat, about the author's effort, and to perchance make them better parodists. I might even encourage other people to provide more detail in what they liked or did not like about a parody. Plus, I wanted to upgrade the substance of the comments section. It comes with a big risk. I know I'm eventually offend somebody. And what makes me think that everybody desires to write great parodies? Some people have thoughts and ideas that they're only looking for an outlet. They don't care how many syllables it takes. Anybody who doesn't want me to review their submission need only to tell me.
