Subject: After WGO, how about another collaborative parody?

Written By: PF4Eva on 08/27/02 at 08:50 p.m.

I've been thinking about doing a collaborative parody of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" or maybe "We Are the World" or something of that sort. I will assign lyrics to whomever decides to take part. This might be my only chance at a #1 parody, so just reply or email me at: PF4Eva@aol.com


Thanks!

before I do, could you maybe post a new message, with a more definite stance, ie. "I'm starting a collabrative parody, based on .... Please contact in email, etc." and I'll put it on the front page in the morning...

Since I know more lyrics to "Stairway," we'll spoof that. I need to list all the people who have currently decided to participate in the parody. I'll email random lyrics. So, we're all set for now. Each person gets one lyric.

Subject: List of lyrics and who has been assigned to them

Lyric

1| There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
2| And she's buying a stairway to heaven
3| And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
4| With a word she can get what she came for


5| Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

6| There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
7| And you know sometimes words have two meanings
8| In the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
9| Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

10| There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
11| And my spirit is crying for leaving
12| In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
13| And the voices of those who stand looking

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

14| And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
15| Then the piper will lead us to reason
16| And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
17| And the forest will echo with laughter

18| And it makes me wonder

19| If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
20| Don't be alarmed now
21| It's just a spring clean for the May Queen

22| Yes there are two paths you can go by
23| but in the long run
24| There's still time to change the road you're on

25| Your head is humming and it won't go because you don't know
26| The piper's calling you to join him
27| Dear lady can't you hear the wind blow and did you know
28| Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

29| And as we wind on down the road
30| Our shadows taller than our souls
31| There walks a lady we all know
32| Who shines white light and wants to show
33| How everything still turns to gold
34| And if you listen very hard
35| The tune will come to you at last
36| When all are one and one is all
37| To be a rock and not to roll
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for


And she's buying a stairway to heaven, uh uh uh.

fifty people on one parody, good luck finding them all.
It was hard for me.

Actually, STG, it's 37 people for this one song. One lyric per person and one person per lyric.

I don't understand.  I didn't even write my line and the song is on the site already.  Was I supposed to?   :-/  ???  ???  ???

Subject: Re: After WGO, how about another collaborative par

Written By: chris on 09/02/02 at 11:33 a.m.

Likewise. And I never said I was going to join in. I just got a message that I was unaware of until the song was already on the site.  ???

So many of the lines are unchanged from the original that I'm not surprised it has only got 1 out of 5 in each category so far  ::)

I got my line PMed to me last night, but I didn't know I had to get it done that night.  A few more day's notice would have been nice.  :P

I got mine too. What's it about?

Why don't you redo it and call it:
"Parody to Zepplin"

"...And We're writing a Parody to Zepplin"

Just a thought.

well, all i know is I wrote my line....but it makes no sense with the context in the song lol...thats the problem with having everyone do a line, Its like mad-libs...plus lines are unchanged, and where did he get every one in this song...Where did they all sign up, and I though Tone-def was away at school or something....and I talked to my brother (Mike Florio), and he said he never wrote his line either....And I talk to much.....

I think names were randomly pulled off the messageboard.  LOL, yeah, it's like Mad Libs..

Subject: Re: After WGO, how about another collaborative par

Written By: PF4Eva on 09/05/02 at 07:44 p.m.

You need to participate if you want your parody line used instead of the original lyric. Half of you even dared to send me your parody lyrics. This was just a experiment that went haywire. I wanted to revive Mad Libs in the form of a Zeppelin song parody. Next time we ever do a collab. parody:

Everyone will participate so I don't have to randomly recruit authors

There will be an actual concept

Bye, bye mad libs

No lyrics will be unchanged

Well, that's because you sent me my lyrics the night before it appeared on the site...

Anyway, thanks for clearing that up.
