Parody Written by:

The Lyrics
A trip through some poor schmuck's lifetime of disasters....
I bought a Mogwai from some Chinese feller
Then went exploring in haunted house cellar
Sent my mate to Doctor Lecter, the shrink
So many times when I just didn't think.
Forgot to sever the heads of undead guys
Helped build a death star for nasty ex-Jedis
Then gave a Goodfella's best gal a wink
Now I'm in hiding coz I didn't think!
Left the doors open at Arkham Asylum
Caught a slow boat to a place called Skull Island
In Travis Bickle's cab, kicked up a stink
Oh, how I wish that I'd shut up and think!
Texas Chainsaws
Jeepers Creepers!
Killer alien hives
Out on a date, buying Catwoman drinks
I better havenine lives!
I wore a red uniform while Star Trekking
And stowed away under Titanic decking
Some hairy midget sold me a gold ring
Why am I so awf'lly bad at thinking?
Hung out with Keifer for 24 hours
Fixed all the plumbing in Bates Hotel showers
Made love to Glenn Close in my kitchen sink
I never comprehend, cogitate; THINK!
Me and three buddies in Georgia, canoeing
Teaching young James Bond the art of girl-wooing
Giving Magneto some iron and zinc
It seems I lose IQ points when I blink
Armageddon?
Lethal Weapons?
Vampires after dark?
My life keeps getting more cinematic
Each time I jumpthe shark!
Then went exploring in haunted house cellar
Sent my mate to Doctor Lecter, the shrink
So many times when I just didn't think.
Forgot to sever the heads of undead guys
Helped build a death star for nasty ex-Jedis
Then gave a Goodfella's best gal a wink
Now I'm in hiding coz I didn't think!
Left the doors open at Arkham Asylum
Caught a slow boat to a place called Skull Island
In Travis Bickle's cab, kicked up a stink
Oh, how I wish that I'd shut up and think!
Texas Chainsaws
Jeepers Creepers!
Killer alien hives
Out on a date, buying Catwoman drinks
I better havenine lives!
I wore a red uniform while Star Trekking
And stowed away under Titanic decking
Some hairy midget sold me a gold ring
Why am I so awf'lly bad at thinking?
Hung out with Keifer for 24 hours
Fixed all the plumbing in Bates Hotel showers
Made love to Glenn Close in my kitchen sink

Me and three buddies in Georgia, canoeing
Teaching young James Bond the art of girl-wooing
Giving Magneto some iron and zinc
It seems I lose IQ points when I blink
Armageddon?

Vampires after dark?
My life keeps getting more cinematic
Each time I jumpthe shark!

Excellent all around, Mr. Robertson! I loved it. High-Fives. :-)
LOL awesome Krsitof! 555!
A Cinematic Wonder!!!
fantastic, Kristof - loved the Travis Bickle and Keifer Sutherland refs the best, but the whole thing put a big smile on my face after a hard day's night - 555
This song was fun and along did I sing.
That poor guy is really missing a few..heh. Unlike your parody, which I really enjoyed. 5's
It seems to me that this parody was designed for the specific purpose of getting fives from, among others, me. Therefore, it seems you do quite a bit of thinking.
Perfection! I can't imagine how it could be any better (but I'd wager you could!)
Thanks very much Rick, Jack, Matthias, Stu, PMS, Pat, Mike and TJC. This is one of those rare occasions when you get an idea, and the lines start tumbling out of your brain quicker than you can process them. I think I broke a few road rules getting home to write this one down! Your votes and comments are, as always, very much appreciated.
HAHAHA! That was great, Dr Lecter the shrink, 5-5-5
I am honored to follow in shadow, your Radomness. 5's
FABulous in SOOO many ways, Mister Robertson. I counted 34 lines that were sensational...but the "24" bit killed me. LOL over and over again! Excellent!
A lot of great lines, though "I wore a red uniform while Star Trekking" stood out for me. 555 PS - Who is Travis Bickle?
Thanks Charny, Lionel, Arwen and Jack...
Arwen: Hang on, there ARE only 34 li....oh! Tah very much, Princess.
Jack: Travis Bickle- DeNiro's character in Taxi Driver.
If anyone missed any of the references, here they are in full...
Gremlins, ghost movies, Silence Of The Lambs
Zombie movies, Star Wars, Goodfellas
Batman, King Kong, Taxi Driver
Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Jeepers Creepers, Alien, Batman (again!)
Star Trek, Titanic, Lord Of The Rings
24, Psycho, Fatal Attraction
Deliverence, Bond series, X-men
Armageddon, Lethal Weapon, Buffy(?)
"Jumping The Shark" initially referred to the moment in a TV series when everything started to go downhill for the show. It spread to cinema, and now has an everyday usage to describe that moment(s) in your life when things start to go wrong...e.g. "The day I started working for Enron, I really jumped the shark"

nice job...ya covered a lot of territory
(SOTM) I am so glad this was your Song of The Month entry, it's BRILLIANT!
SOTM-this is head and shoulders above anything else this month top job 555
(SOTM) A virtual video store of knowledge, Kristof...
SOTM - I don't know what to say, so I guess I'll have to think up something later. :-)
(SOTM) Still excellent all around. :-)
(SOTM)See abovr
You did plumbing in the Bates Hotel and loved to tell about it? Amazing--- you must have had Yoda by your side.---MM
Very, very clever, Kristof. Howsabout:
Saying "come home" to my favourite beagle
Training as cook with that chap Steven Seagal
Trying the new diet from Jar Jar Binks
You ain't the only one here who don't think ;-)

(SOTM) Very appropriate for Halloween month. I must say I was dismayed that you didn't use the scariest movie of all time... Bambi Meets Godzilla. Still, you've captured many great cinematic achievements here.
(SOTM) See above. That was the only reference I missed, but thanks for the rest of them too. Your movie knowledge is most impressive, Kristof, as was this parody.
Sotm-Ah, the story of the decisions I've made in my life =) LOL, well done!
(SOTM) I just have such big expectations of a Kristof parody, and you bloody NEVER let me down - this is a classic of yours, but aren't they all! ...may your dry and witty muse continue to inspire forever!
SOTM - Learning to drive in a damaged Ford Pinto, Not researching what you put your cash into, Sucking on pens filled with octopus ink, Those are all dumb but this song doesn't stink!
(SOTM) Ooh! My turn! Ahem...Saying bad words when I'm s'possed to be quiet, Causing an ear-bursting car-stopping riot, Blaming the teacher for that nasty stink, this parody makes you stop and then think! Well done, Kristof!
it is soooooooooooooooo weird and boring!!!!!!! How did you even think of words like that?
Genius! Amazing work!!!!
What hj said. (The part after the eight exclamation points, anyway.) Brilliant idea, excellently executed, and set to just the right song. It reminds me of this one time at band camp when I gave Mia Wallace a foot massage.
LOL Spaff with a band camp story....
Excellent! It's tough enough just to think of so many film references, let alone find (as Spaff says) exactly the right song for them. 5's.
I actually thought this OS was titled "My Favorite Things", but that's ok. You get a 5,5,5 from me. Might I say that this is a clever parody?
(SOTY) Have I said yet that this is excellent all around?
(SOTY) Very good parody Kristof, it's not as epic as I'm used to from you.. ..I love horror movies though so extra kudos there
