Mine is about Pokemon to the tune of Bullet the Blue Sky by U2.  I have one line to work out and will post it within the next couple of days.

Contest or no contest, it is a pretty funny parody. (I do say so myself ;))

Thanks loosekanen for inspiring me.  Finding topics is the hardest for me.

I just submitted mine to the site.

Here goes:

Original Song: Bullet the Blue Sky by U2
Parody: Pokemon to Buy

Out of the Far East comes a parent's pain
See the increased sales
From LA to the shores of Maine
At ToysRUs shelling out more dough
As Christmas grows near
Running scared through the aisles they go

Wooooo, wooooo
Pokemon to buy
Pokemon to buy
Pokemon to
Pokemon to

From playing the game comes a very sore thumb
Ash fought with Wartortle
And Team Rocket was overcome
Give Pokemon their feed
You fill them with desire
You become their bosses
Their strength gets higher and higher

Wooooo, wooooo
Pokemon to buy
Pokemon to buy
Pokemon to
Pokemon to

This guy comes up to me
Right in the middle of the Christmas rush
"Pokemon cards?" he says in a hush
And he's peeling off those trading cards
Slapping them down
Pikachu, Charmader
And I can't say their stupid names
And I can't say their stupid names
Across the bunk beds where the children sleep
On the floor underneath their busy feet
Games and figurines fill their drawers
Hoping and praying they have room for more
The Pokemon empire has grown
To fads, they know that kids are the most prone
Hypontizing America
Hypontizing America

Across the store you see a box ripped open
See all the kids and parents swoon
Stabbing each other with fountain pens
They run
Into the arms
Of the Pokemon

Here goes : "Bad Revolution"  to the tune of "Land of Confusion" by Genesis... It's about boy bands if you can't tell by the lyrics of my version...


I must've heard a thousand tunes,
By those damn boy band buffoons,
I can hear their fans from here,
I wish they... would disappear,

Did you hear the news today?
Rehab's headed AJ's way,
I'm glad he's tryin to find the missing link,
His life, sure isn't N SYNC...

Oh, there's too many of them,
Too many boy bands,
Singin too many bad songs,
And not enough, schlock to go around...
Can't you see I'm in a bad revolution...

This is the world we live in,
And these are the bands we're given,
Backstreet and B2K's whining,
Don't make it, a place worth living in...

98 Degrees, where are you now?
BBMak's still around somehow,
The men of pop, oh they blow,
Haha, there, goes LFO...

This is a crime,
This is a waste,
When I look into the future,
I pray there's not enough, schlock to go around...

(Interlude)

I remember long ago...
Real music was shining...
The stars would rise...
Into the charts...
Because of their talent...
Not their body parts...
So long ago...

I won't watch MTV tonight,
TRL gave me such a fright,
There were 9 boy bands in the top 10,
Oh, god, it made me weep...

This is the world we live in,
And these are the bands we're given,
Backstreet and B2K's whining,
Don't make it a place worth living in..

(Repeat)
