Parody Written by:

The Lyrics

Refers to the classic '70s TV show "The Odd Couple", with references to specific episodes.
Oscar Madison is dirty,
Felix is a man who's girly,
Edna is Paul Williams' groupie,
The Odd Couple is on,

Gloria is Felix's wife,
But he now lives a bachelor's life,
"Yes or no" is what he asks dates,
Then Oscar's ulcer flares,

Then they take a short vacation,
To a small deserted nation,
Felix sings funny Calypso,
But Jesse wants Ringo,

Then they win a brand new sports car,
In New York there's nowhere to park,
Oscar calls a slimy car thief,
"Goldilocks this is Papa Bear"

Billy Jean King plays Bobby Riggs,
And she beats him 'cause he's a pig,
Fake head stuck on Felix' shoulder,
But still Riggs wiped him out,

Oscar fights with Howard Cossel,
Says he's got a big mouth and, well,
Howard tries to put him on air,
And Felix saves his neck,

Gloria is Felix's wife,
But his cleanliness caused her strife,
Oscar was a slob all his life,
The Odd Couple is on,

I loved this! The Odd Couple is just about my all-time favorite show ! The pacing didn't really match the OS...but the idea was great....as were the references to the actual episodes. (FYI: An early 70's four-door Dodge Monaco/Plymouth Fury is not exactly a sports car!). Howsa'bout a Honeymooners parody next?!

Thanks for the link, Adam...that one got a 555! Honeymooners and The Odd Couple- you must be from NY where they used to run them back to back every night on Channel 11. (You're probably not far from the "Investment firm of Merril, Lynch, Pierce, Fedder & Ziggy"!) :)
