The Lyrics

Since Barney ripped off this song for his "I Love You, You Love Me" song, it is only approprate to use it in revenge.
This young man, he played one
He shot Barney with a submachine gun
With a knick-knack paddy whack--Barney is a putz
This young man hates Barney's guts

This young man, he played two
He kicked Barney with a steel-toed shoe
With a knick-knack paddy whack--Barney is a putz
This young man hates Barney's guts

This young man, he played three
He broke both of Barney's knees
With a knick-knack paddy whack--Barney is a putz
This young man hates Barney's guts

This young man, he played four
He made Barney hit the floor
With a knick-knack paddy whack--Barney is a putz
This young man hates Barney's guts

This young man, he played five
Barney should not stay alive
With a knick-knack paddy whack--Barney is a putz
This young man hates Barney's guts

This young man, he played six
He stabbed Barney with pointed sticks
With a knick-knack paddy whack--Barney is a putz
This young man hates Barney's guts

This young man, he played seven
He sent Barney straight to hell
With a knick-knack paddy whack--Barney is a putz
This young man hates Barney's guts

This young man, he played eight
He made Barney disintegrate
With a knick-knack paddy whack--Barney is a putz
This young man hates Barney's guts

This young man, he played nine
Then he ripped out Barney's spine
With a knick-knack paddy whack--Barney is a putz
This young man hates Barney's guts

This young man, he played ten
He did one through nine again
With a knick-knack paddy whack--Barney is a putz
This young man hates Barney's guts

I don't actually hate Barney, but this parody's a hoot, so 555

I can't claim credit for the following.... I found it a long time ago somewhere on the Web.....

To prove that Barney is The Antichrist:

1. Given the obvious:
CUTE PURPLE DINOSAUR

2. Now, as in the Roman alphabet change all U's to V's:
CVTE PVRPLE DINOSAVR

3. Extract all Roman Numerals:
C V V L D I V

4. Convert to decimals:
C=100 V=5 V=5 L=50 D=500 I=1 V=5

5. Add them together to get:
100 + 5 + 5 + 50 + 500 + 1 + 5 = 666

I don't hate Barney either. Well actually I hate anything so damn optimistic. Anyways, this was so damn clever I had to give three fives.

Hahahahahaha that was a bloody good one mate!!! All 5's from me!!! Must admit the pacing is off with "This young man, he played seven he sent Barney straight to hell" as seven and hell don't match, but to bugger with that this song deserves all 5s!!!

I wonder if Barney and Tinky Winky are... ahem... 'best friends'.
Cryptic Wizard - April 12, 2004 - Report this comment
"Hell" and "seven" aren't supposed to match, there's a little joke there, since "seven" and "heaven" match, but Barney wouldn't go to Heaven, so...it's an old humor song trick, make the audience think you're going to say one thing because of the rhyme, but say something different (there are many that use this). It's funnier if you hear it out loud but I thought I should clarify that. Anyway, thanks for all the 5's everyone, this is the best I've ever gotten for any of my parodies!

I don't [i]hate[/i] him; I find him unappealing. But I couldn't help but laugh while reading this; gotta give it five-five-five.

For those who loved that song, disliked Barney, and have a horde of young children: Better watch something more educational than that with your kids, such as "Sesame Street" or "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood." This advice is from some reviewers of "Barney and Friends" at the Internet Movie Database.

HIL-arious. And yes, I caught the little rhyme trick on the number seven, very clever. 555

I can't say that I "hate" Barney either...but I do find him annoying and I enjoy anti-Barney humour. And this is very clever, as other commentators have said above.
