"Greg My Bubby", a parody of Daniel by Elton John

Greg is travelling with Rowley tonight on a plane
I can see the weird plane lights heading for Spain
Oh and I can see Bubby waving goodbye
Dad it looks like Bubby, must be the clouds in my eyes
They say Spain is pretty though I've never been
Well Greg says it's the best place that he's ever seen
Oh and he should know, he's been there enough
Mum I miss Bubby, oh I miss him so much
Greg my Bubby you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the cookie in your game
Your eyes have crossed but you see more than I
Greg my Bubby you're a star in the big big sky
Greg is travelling with Rowley tonight on a plane
I can see the weird plane lights heading for Spain
Oh and I can see Bubby waving goodbye
Dad it looks like Bubby, must be the clouds in my eyes
Oh Mum it looks like Bubby, must be the clouds in my eyes

Ahhhh, my first parody, the one I’m most ashamed of too, it really only makes sense to those who have read at least one of the 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' books, this song being specifically set in Dog Days, just tweaked a bit. Hasn’t aged well


"Coronavirus from Africa", a parody of Africa by Toto

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's kept in, ‘til 12:30 night
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards her salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten cures or ancient remedies
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, the Virus is waiting there for you"
It's not took a lot to drag me away from you
But there it isn’t you or anything I can do
It’s Coronavirus from Africa
Gonna take some time to treat the disease you might have (ooh, ooh)
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow sick and poorly, longing for some solitary confinement
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Korea rises labove the place called Wuhan
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that you might become
It's not took a lot to drag me away from you
But there it isn’t you or anything I can do
It’s Coronavirus from Africa
Gonna take some time to treat the disease you might have (ooh, ooh)
Hurry boy, the Virus is waiting there for you
It’s not took a lot to drag me away from you
But there it isn’t your or anything I can do
It’s Coronavirus from Africa
(Coronavirus)
Its Coronavirus from Africa (Coronavirus)
It’s Coronavirus from Africa
It’s Coronavirus from Africa
Gonna take some time to treat the disease you might have (ooh, ooh)

This was definitely my most successful parody for sure, 6 times more popular than every other parody song I’ve written. However, this is not my favourite. I believe it was only popular due to Corona being all over the news and the trend at the time of Corona parodies. This has aged alright compared to some other Corona parodies though.

"Boris Got Run Over By A Reindeer", a parody of Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer by Elmo and Patsy

Boris got run over by a reindeer
Walking home on Christmas eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa
But as for the Liberals and Labour they believe
He’d been drinking too much whisky
And parliament begged him about a deal
But he got quite annoyed
And he staggered out the grand door into the snow
When we found him Christmas morning
At the scene of the attack
He had hoof-prints on his forehead
And incriminating Claus marks on his back
Boris got run over by a reindeer
Corbyn will likely be quite pleased
You can say there's no such thing as Santa
But as for the Liberals and Labour they believe
Now we're all so proud of Nigel Farage
He's been taking this so well
See him in there watching football
Drinking beer and playing cards with Jo Swinson
It's not Britain without Boris
All of the Parliament is dressed in black
And we just can't help but wonder
Should we open up his gifts
Or send them back (send them back)
Boris got run over by a reindeer
Walking home on Christmas eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa
But as for the Liberals and Labour they believe
Now the elections is on the table
With all the parties running for PM
One has the diplomatic abilities
That would just have matched the hair on Boris Johnson’s wig.
We have warned the whole populations
Better watch out for yourselves
They should never give a license
To a man who drives a sleigh
And plays with elves
Boris got run over by a reindeer
Walking home on Christmas eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa
But as for the Liberals and Labour they believe
Singin' Liberals
Boris got run over by a reindeer
Walking home on Christmas eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa
But as for the Liberals and Labour they believe
Merry Christmas

I wrote this before I even knew this site existed, around Christmas 2019, British politics was big on my mind at the time and Brexit was a large topic, should have published this at Christmas. Only song I’ve actually sung on YouTube. Next is one that I’m not a fan of.

"Your Dog Has Been Put Down", a parody of Your Song by Elton John

I have been havin a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily deal with pets
Don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd put down the cat and the parrot
If I was a doctor, but then again no
Or a man who makes injections that put em down
Oh I know it's not much but that’s what I did
I put down the doghouse, Freddie his name
He broke my cellphone
And you can tell everybody I put him down
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down ya
How wonderful life will be without that dog in the world
I walked to my cupboard and got the injection
Well the dogs behaviour, well they got me quite cross
But I wasn’t kind
And bumped him off!
It's for dogs like him that
Keep my career turned on
So excuse me forgettin your feels
But putting down is the thing I do
You see I laugh, at the injection
If they're green or they're blue
Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean
Your dog is dead and sorry bout that.
And you can tell everybody I put down your dog
It may be quite simple but
Now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down your dog
How wonderful life is without the dog in the world
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down your dog
How wonderful life is without the dog in the world

As previously mentioned, I’m not a huge fan of this one. The political message at the end has been cut due to people not understanding it being a political message. Not my favourite. Next is my favourite!

”Why Am I Alive?", a parody of Stayin Alive by the Bee Gees

Well, you can tell by my weight I am obese
I'm an unhealthy man, no time for diets
Loads o packs and Big Macs warm, I've been unhealthy around
Since I was born
And now it's alright, it's okay
And you may look the other way
You don’t really understand
The Cigarettes effect on man
I like Winston and roll-up cigs
Why Am I Alive?, Why Am I Alive?
Feel the McDonalds eating and my fat belly shakin
Why Am I Alive?, Why Am I Alive?
Why, why, why, why, am I alive?, am I alive?
Why, why, why, why, am I alive?
Well, I eat loads and I smoke loads
And if I can't get either, I really cry
Struggle to walk with my shoes
I can’t dance and I just can't lose
You know it's alright, it's okay
I don’t think I’ll live to see another day
We can try to understand
The Cigarettes effect on man
I like Winston and roll-up-cigs
Why Am I Alive?, Why Am I Alive?
Feel the McDonalds eating and my fat belly shakin
Why Am I Alive?, Why Am I Alive?
Why, why, why, why, am I alive?, am I alive?
Why, why, why, why, am I alive?
Life goin' nowhere, don’t want someone to help me
No one shall help me, yeah
Life goin' nowhere, don’t want somebody help me, yeah
Why Am I Alive?
Well, you can tell by my weight I am obese
I'm an unhealthy man, no time for diets
Loads o packs and Big Macs warm, I've been unhealthy around

You don’t really understand
The Cigarettes effect on man
I like Winston and roll-up cigs
Why Am I Alive?, Why Am I Alive?

Why Am I Alive?, Why Am I Alive?
Why, why, why, why, am I alive?, am I alive?

Why, why, why, why, am I alive?
Life goin' nowhere, don’t want someone to help me
No one shall help me, yeah
Life goin' nowhere, don’t want somebody help me, yeah
Why Am I Alive?

This is my favourite, it works well, I love it. That’s all I can say, it’s the only parody which i think has replaced the original in my mind.

"I Wanna Play HOIV”, a parody of So What by Pink

Na na na na na na, na na na na na na
Na na na na na na, na na na na na na
I guess I just lost my land
I know where it went
So I'm gonna eat through my money
I'm not gonna pay war rent (nope)
I got a brand new attitude
And I'm gonna wear it tonight
I wanna get into conflict
I am playin HOIV
Na na na na na na na, I wanna start a war
Na na na na na na na, I wanna start a war
So, so what?
I'm still the leader
I got this army
And I do need land
And guess what
I'm having more fun
And now that we're done
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright, I'm just fine
And you're a pacifist
So, so what?
I am the leader
Here is my army
And I want your land tonight
Uh, check my flow, uh
My friend and I just signed an alliance
And we plan to play war with you
I guess I'll command my army
I guess they’ll invade you
When the news is on the radio
Then your armies gonna die
I'm gonna get in conflict
I am playin HOIV
Na na na na na na na, I’m gonna start a war
Na na na na na na na, we're all gonna get in a war!

And now that we're done
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright, I'm just fine
And you're gonna lose
So, so what?
I am country leader
I got supporters
And I want your land tonight
You were there
But I always was
You don’t want much
But that's not fair
I gave you support
I gave my support
You took a predatory path
You let my nation fall
So, so not for long!
I'm still country leader
I got supporters
And I need your land tonight
Ba da da da da da

Apart of the end has been cut due to not looking right. This again kinda goes into the category with Greg My Bubby, being based on a niche piece of media, this time, Grand strategy PC game Hearts of Iron 4, I recommend you check it out. Next is one which I considered cutting from the album altogether.

"Why No Chopping Block?", a parody of Where Is The Love by the Black Eyed Peas

ISIS killin' people dyin'
Hurtin children', I hear them cryin'
Can we execute their arse
Would they turn the other cheek?
MP, MP, MP, tell us what the hell is goin' on
Can't we all just execute?
Father, father, father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me
Questioning
(Why No Chopping Block?)
Yo what's going on with the world, MP
(Why No Chopping Block?)
Yo people living like they are in some highly horrid ‘caliphate’
(Why No Chopping Block?)
I think they all distracted by the religion and
Attracted to the violence, MP
(Why No Chopping Block?)
I think they don't understand the concept or
The meaning of karma
(Why No Chopping Block?)
Overseas, yeah they trying to stop terrorism
(Why No Chopping Block?)
Over here on the streets the police shoot
The terrorists put the bullets in 'em
(Why No Chopping Block?)
But if you only got love for your own race
(Why No Chopping Block?)
Then you're gonna leave space for terrorists to begin more hostilities
(Why No Chopping Block?)
And to preach horrid ideas only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate
Madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how hate works and operates
Man, we gotta set it straight
Take control of your country and legalise death penalty
And let your soul just gravitate
To the love, so the whole world celebrate it
ISIS killin' people dyin'
Hurtin children', I hear them cryin'
Can we execute their arse?
Would you turn the other cheek
MP, MP, MP, tell us what the hell is goin' on
Can't we all just execute?
Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questioning
(Why No Chopping Block?)
It just ain't the same, always in change
(Why No Chopping Block?)
Terrorism is strange, is the Middle East insane?
(Why No Chopping Block?)
Terrorists droppin' bombs killing our little ones
(Why No Chopping Block?)
Ongoing suffering as the youth die young
(Why No Chopping Block?)
Where's the love when a child gets murdered
Or a cop gets knocked down
Black lives not now
Everybody matter to me
All races, y'all don't like what I'm sayin'? Haterade, tall cases
Everybody hate somebody
Guess we all racist
Maximus Buttcrack do a song about execution and y'all hate this
All these protests with different colored faces
We was all born with a heart
Why we gotta chase it?
And every time I look around
Every time I look up, every time I look down
No one's on a common ground
(Where's the love)
And if you never speak truth then you never know how love sounds
(Where's the love)
And if you never know love then you never know God, wow
(Where's the love)
Where's the love y'all? I don't, I don't know
Where's the truth y'all? I don't know
ISIS killin' people dyin'
Hurtin children', I hear them cryin'
Could we execute their arse?
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questioning
(Why No Chopping Block?)
(Why No Chopping Block?)
Capital punishment is the key
(Why No Chopping Block?)
Capital punishment is the answer
(Why No Chopping Block?)
Execution is the solution
(Why No Chopping Block?)
(Where's the love)
They don't want us to love
(Where's the love)
Love is powerful
(Where's the love)
(Where's the love)

Wowza, to be honest I considered cutting this altogether, the political message is considered dodgy (being Pro-death penalty) and might be considered anti-Islam, it isn’t, its anti-terrorist and at the current time, most terrorists are Islamic. Next is one that I’m rather disappointed with.

"The Not-so-good brand-new Combine Harvester", a parody of The Combine Harvester by The Wurzels

I went to Sainsburys for a big order last night
(Ooh ar ooh ar)
I put in the details on the little gadget thing
(Ooh ar ooh ar)
Now somethin's tellin' me, this order isn’t great
(Ooh ar ooh ar)
Come on now, darlin', somethin' I need say
'Cause I've got a not-so-good combine harvester and the key is electric
Come on now, it is fast for a snail
Oh, It only did 20 meters and then it busted
Now I've got a not-so-good combine harvester and It’s a piece o trash
Crap made I laugh, haha
I will repair it, I'll give ’doris’ all that she needs
(Ooh ar ooh ar)
It’s got loads o failures, It was only built for cash
(Ooh ar ooh ar)
And you know I can’t repair it, darlin', so give me your hand
(Ooh ar ooh ar)
But the thing I want to do most is all the acres of repairs
'Cause I've got a not-so-good combine harvester and it didn’t chop that well
Come on now, it’s fast for a snail
Oh, It only did twenty meters and then a sudden halt!
Now I've got a not-so-good combine harvester and it’s going of to scrap
Phwoar, it’s a rubbish bit of stuff 'n all
For seven long days I've been alone in this place
(Ooh ar ooh ar)
No crops cause of the machine, it's a proper disgrace
(Ooh ar ooh ar)
Now if I fixed it up, would ya change our mind?
(Ooh ar ooh ar)
I'll remove watered’ diesel or motor engine juice
'Cause I've got a not-so-good combine harvester and it’s got an electric key
Come on now, it’s quite fast for a snail
I got twenty meters and then a sudden halt
Now I've got a not-so-good combine harvester and I'll scrap it up
I hate it, baby, ha
Weren't it a grand gadget on the Sainsbury’s poster
Shiny metal and proper fast
Like it’s in a new Sunday dress with its perfume smellin' grand
But unlike the photos taken, they were not so great
Now I've got a not-so-good combine harvester and I'll give you the key
Now that it’s like past our fifties I think that it need the bin
It Should stop this gallivanting and will
'Cause I've got a not-so-good combine harvester and it’s going in the trash

A parody of a parody, wow. I expected much more from this parody than what I did, it’s meant to be about the claim that ‘thing ain’t as good as they used to be'. I cut the final line for not really going with the lyrics.
