--------------------  :D DISCLAIMER :D --------------------
In this the very first post of this thread there are/were a bunch of "rules" suggested to get the whole thing going. Some of those rules still apply but because of the overwhelming amount of talented parody writers smarter than me that quickly came on board with their own ideas of improvement etc there has also been some changes. You're welcome to join in too, it's a free for all thing, but I strongly suggest that if you haven't been following so far you should first read pages 1-11 (that's where we are now when this "disclaimer" is written) to get your own idea of how this works now and how it came to that.
--------------------  :D END DISCLAIMER :D --------------------

This is the historical weekend when The Beatles becomes the first group/artist/band that has been parodied 1000 times here on AmIright. To celebrate that – and to give you an alternative to the ever growing amount of best-parody-about-(insert-specific-theme-here)-competitions – I’m starting a relay thread (I do not want to use the word competition though a bit of competitiveness will certainly be encouraged, he-he).

The subject of the whole darn thing is to find and drag out into the sun those few and rare three syllable words that has not yet had their own parody to the tune of “Yesterday� and give them their 15 seconds of fame/shame and at least a single verse. (Those you’ll find to be worthy of more than that should of course be posted on AmIright in the usual way.

Here’s how it works:

1. A three syllable word is given as a challenge.
2. The challenge is to use that word as the first and also the last word in a verse that goes with the verses of “Yesterday�.
3. The first writer to sign up for the challenge has 12 hours to complete the task (that’s to prevent the ball from staying in the same continental ballpark all the time).
4. Once completed the verse is posted in this thread and the writer must also state what the next three syllable word challenge should be.
5. If the writer who signed up does not complete the task within 12 hours it’s free for anyone else to sign up.
6. It is not allowed to sign up after yourself and write two in a row (I’ll make an exception for myself and verses 1 and 2, but only to get this idea of the ground).
7. Once we reach 1000 verses it will be posted as the mother of all parodies in the regular AmIright forum.
8. You don’t have to write a separate chorus, but you’re allowed to if you want to, If this thread should actually happen to reach 1000 verses I’m planning to use the chorus I’m using to verse 1 and 2 here below, or the alternative that amuses me the most. (I’m aware that a normal parody to this song does not have a chorus until after the second verse so don’t bother to point that out, we’ll just call that artistic license).

Everybody got that? Alright then, as a sign of tribute to the most successful group ever we’re starting off with the word “Yesterday�:

1
Yesterday
Dodging bullets seemed so far away
Now I´m moving up to seventh grade
My childhood’s buried yesterday

Now this verse’s the best, can’t you tell, it’s obvious
I’ll throw down the glove but I’ll bet you’re gonna wuss

2
Pakistan…

Yeah right, as if I couldn’t do better than that in 12 minutes! I’m signing up for this one.

And it only took about... well, 12 minutes of copying and paste after having messed it up the firs time.  :D

2
Pakistan
Many miles away from Teheran
P has nukes and T the fatwa ban
So we all chum with Pakistan

Now this verse’s the best, can’t you tell, it’s obvious
I’ll throw down the glove but I’ll bet you’re gonna wuss

3
Syzygy…

(Footnote: Syzygy is an astronomical term. It means a condition in which three astral bodies are in alignment. Astral bodies can of course also be defined as Heavenly Bodies if you want to take verse 3 in the double entendre direction).

Okay, here's my take on "Pakistan", even though Peter posted first...

Pakistan
Uzbek, Afghan and Tajikistan
Kyrgyz, Kazakh and Turkmenistan
Six neighb'ring lands
Near Pakistan

Blunderbuss

(The Blunderbuss was one of the most deadly weapons ever made.  Able to fire just about anything that would fit in it's barrel, pirates would use them to spray nails, shards of glass and sometimes small rocks as they boarded a ship. These muskets were usually small and cleared the decks in a hurry.)

Well, I stated in the first post that I was gonna do both verse 1 and 2 to get things rolling and that the sign up should be for verse 3, but I can´t really be disappointed with anyone who´s so fast he almost posted before I managed to post the alreday pre-written demonstrative post 2 and 3, and hence helped out to get this thing going.

Also, I get to learn not only the new word but also Kyrgyz.

So (unless someone is posting while I´m writing this) the next word to sign up for is "Blunderbuss". I´m tempted to do it myself but the more the merrier...

Blunderbuss filled with rubble arrr ye be robust,
Har! these blokes they all be turnt ta dust,
What brings aggrieve be blunderbuss.

Tooth Decay


Don´t post to this until I have written a clearification. I'll try to be fast.

Don't push that little snowball down the hill if you don't want a big splat....


Tooth decay
Never brush and they will go away
Then the dentist has to earn her pay
So don’t invite that tooth decay

Why did I not floss? It’s my loss
I cannot say
Guess I lived too long, I was wrong
Now there’s decay…


Basketball

Though I'm overwhelmed with the the quick response here I feel obliged to make three clarifications.

Or rather open these things for debate if that´s preferred.  ;)

One: My thought with the signing up part was to prevent us from all working on the same word, hence making it easier to convert the whole thing into a full parody later on. a) I don't wanna have to pick one persons version of a word over anothers if that happens and b) Only one can be first, hence the one who first claime the right gets his 12 hours.

Two: Chorus part rewritings are (as I ment it) still to be tie-ins betweens the verses. Not prolongings to the present verse.

Three: I wanted it to be three syllable words, not three syllabe phrases. It´s not a biggie but a) I wanted to hold that way open for a future thread and b) I want to see real and preferably odd words all the way through, not end up with "Spaff's the man" or other kinds of injoke flattery.

But we can take this anyway you want. Opinions?

Don't push that little snowball down the hill if you don't want a big splat....



LOL! I never imagined totally losing controll over this THIS FAST.

  //  The splattered K1chyd  ;D ;D ;D

Three: I wanted it to be three syllable words, not three syllabe phrases. It´s not a biggie but a) I wanted to hold that way open for a future thread and b) I want to see real and preferably odd words all the way through, not end up with "Spaff's the man" or other kinds of injoke flattery.

But we can take this anyway you want. Opinions?


I edited my entry and put a dash in Tooth-Decay making it sort of one word.  Will that do?   ;D

I edited my "Pakistan" and "Syzygy" entry to include a transitional chorus that links "Pakistan" to "Syzygy".

And I added a transitional chorus that links "Syzygy" to "Blunderbuss".

How about the following?

A) We skip the choruses totally because if you can come up with a good tie-in chorus to your verse that fast you should seriously consider writing a full parody of the song instead of posting to this thread. Besides there’s no AmIright rule saying we can´t post a long parody based on just the verse of a song, especially not one so well known as “Yesterday�. (And besides that besides all that has to be done is to post a link to this thread in the intro to the final 1000 verses parody).

Johnny, your efforts to add/transform your choruses are appreciated, but I hope you’ll agree with me that we probably get more people to jump in on this thread this way.

B) No signing up, the first posters version goes on “the family tree�. If later versions should happen to be funnier, see the point made about full parodies in point A above.

C) Using hyphens, like in tooth-decay, is OK.

And D) Johnny gets to keep his Pakistani version on “the family tree�, but not the "Johnny D" effort, though I’m the first to admit that it made me LOL! :-)

That would make these five verses "the family tree" and “baseball� the next word to claim.

Following Johnnie D's lead:

What brings aggrieve be blunderbuss.

Thar's been many foe, sent below,
Where anchor weigh.
Swabs be dead and gone,
'Fore they're drawn of tooth-decay.

Following Johnnie D's lead:



That gives us the option to stay with choruses. I’m staying neutral and will go with the majority which so far seems to be in a 3-0 lead, though the transition from tooth-decay to basketball may still be a bit surrealistic. :-)

BTW: I’m off to the theatre to see “Resident Evil – Apocalypse� now. See you all tomorrow. I dread to see where to this thread has taken off by then. :-)

Okay, I'll play, but now I have to change my word. (I didn't like it anyway)


Why did I not floss? It’s my loss, I lost the bet
Guess I lived too long, I was wrong, not fortunate

FORTUNATE

Basketball
All my teammates never pass at all
And it seems they're shooting at the wall
I hate my team for basketball

When they play defense, it's intense
compared to walls
They don't have a clue, so we'll lose
At basketball

centigrade...

Peter -

I made a pacing correction in my second bridge-chorus. 

I changed "Moon and stars align" to "Moon and stars are aligned".  Now it matches the pacing of the original song's line.

Taking from Ethan's word, Centigrade

Centigrade
Because Celcius was backwards made
Heating things up, values would degrade
So 'twas invented
Centigrade



Sadly, stumped for a chorus.

Next word: History

Oh well I messed it up now by not changing quick enough. Do what you want with it.

Well, I’m back from the theatre and I couldn’t restrain myself from a quick peek before going to bed. (“Resident Evil� sucked by the way, it wasn´t half as good as the remake of “Dawn of the Dead�).

Johnny: Noted.

Rick, Ethan: With the sugar rush from the movie candy still going on I quickly made up a connecting verse between fortunate and basketball.

Adam: We’ll probably run out of fresh ideas for the chorus long before we run out of ideas for the verses. I’m putting in the first used “let-the-challenge-go-on-chorus for now.

General thought: Note to self: Consider changing the name of the thread to "The how to mess up a good idea 101 Thread".  :P :P :P :P :P

Next word: History

My original intent (poorly explained) was that everyone should use this chorus or just gradually improve it, not change it alltogether:

"Now this verse’s the best, can’t you tell, it’s obvious
I’ll throw down the glove but I’ll bet you’re gonna wuss"

I don't know what to opt for any longer, we'll see what happens when and if more people jump in with ideas, but I do think that having to write just one single verse and decide on the next word will keep this running faster (and hopefully for a longer time, 1000 verses is probably utopian but 100 should be within reach judging from these first hours).

Next word: History


I´m tired, but to leave this of clear I'll let it be restated:

The next word is "History"

History
Well they told me it meant "His - story"
But that's just not very sisterly
So let's all call it Ourstory

Next word: Flatulence

flatulence
Just caused Justin, Steve, and matt to wince
It was easy to predict it since
I know beans cause flatulence


Cellophane

cellophane
makes gift-wrapping seem a tad insane
through it you can see what it contains

Dynasty

Dynasty
Chinese restaurant not so tasty,
Where you feed your face and eat ghastly,
You'll want to heave, you'll dine nasty.

Mitigate

mitigate
lessen, slow, relieve, alleviate
mollify, recede, ameliorate
that's what it means, to mitigate

Please Ma gimme some thing to numb my head again
This Migraine return makes me yearn for Vicodin

Vicodin

Vicodin
Codeine's synthetic euphoric twin
Wasting them on pain is such a sin
They're great with gin, those Vicodin!

Urinate

Please refrain, don't urinate

Who taught you to amputate?

Next Word: Yesteryear

This is the historical weekend when The Beatles becomes the first group/artist/band that has been parodied 1000 times here on AmIright.

Well, thanks to Chucky's agenda (or subconscious quest) to cripple himself it took one day longer than that but Beatles parodies numero 998 to 1003 is now up (I just checked). And though Rick D would have been the most deserving of the honour I'm proud to announce that me, myself and moi got #1000. It's far from my best but since it's pretty obvious that this thread sorta inspired the writing I'll plug for it right here and now:

Rather lied and Kerry suffered smear
Can things be worse than yesteryear?

Is there still a hope, I don’t know, maybe somewhere
Of a better world, or will Terra disappear?

Next word: Disappear

Diasappear
See the bugs become a smear,
But they still reappear
Oh how I wish that they can dissapear.

Why do they come and go as they please?
I squash them but somehow they never disappear.

Watergate...

Watergate
Sealed the deal and became Nixon’s fate
Tapes and worms in Washington’s debate
The Seventies and Watergate

But he had to go, once he knew, he couldn’t stick
Then came Gerald Ford… and the next word’s trisomic

Trisomic

----------------------------------

On second thought that word wasn't a good choice because it doesn't even really go very well as a substitute for yesterday, I should have gone with Hockey stick instead, but since the next verse is already done...

Trisomic
Writing a verse here is no picnic
I assume it means something quite medic-
al, oh well, that's trisomic

What's the difference, if any, between cyberpunks and cypherpunks?


According to the definitions I just found on dict.org, a cyberpunk is a hacker, or a genre of sci-fi, whiclst cypherpunks are the guys that work on developing encryption with the aim of enhancing personal privacy.

Seem to be opposite sides of the same coin, to some extent - one group intent on making codes, the other on breaking them.

Cypherpunks
Take a message, turn it into junk
Leastways, that is what they do, I thunk
But then, I ain't no cypherpunk

in-EX-actly

Pedantry   


(PS:  thanks Karen)

Pedantry
Showing learning ostentatiously
Like some brown-nosed kid from Kankakee
What ill annoys
From pedantry

I sure hope someone caught the pun in my last lines
Or have all your brains been thinned out with turpentine?

Turpentine...

Turpentine
Doesn't taste so very good in wine
But my woman wants to end my time
So she slipped me some turpentine

Now I
Have to go, dying slow
I want to say
Hope the
Cops have Monk, or I'm sunk
She'll get away...

GETAWAY

Getaway
To the seaside for your holiday
Sandflies, sewerage and UV rays
You bet I rue those getaways

Kids are crying out for ice cream in the back seat
You just want to scream: watch your Beemer overheat!

Overheat...

Overheat:
What we do when our two bodies meet
And engage in quite amazing feats!
It can be sweet
To overheat!

How the sweat just flows everytime we have a date
How far will we go, I can only speculate

SPECULATE

Speculate...
Will your parrot-clock procrastinate,
And not wake you up but peck you late?
Sell your clock stock, don't speculate!

Why... my... cockatiel appeals to me, I can't say...
If... I... liked fish I'd get me a big Manta Ray!

Manta Ray

Manta Ray,
Found one playing in the sand today,
So of course, I pulled by hand away --
(I never play with
Manta Rays…)

On a sandy beach, having Mantas isn’t great
Keep them out of reach, cause they tend to lacerate…

LACERATE

Lacerate
When you eat and try to pass a blade.
I can't pun about a US state,
So I'll just bleed and pass away.

Watch the blood here flow, my 'Big O' is a Red Sea.
I said something funny, a pun! Who guessed it, eh?

Guessed it, eh?

Guessed it, eh?
Yes I did, after a short delay
Ate away at me like tooth decay
Then I perceived
I'd guessed it - yay! 

Though...most...inside-jokes are below me, I must say
That I'll now refer to this word without delay...

Yesticlate...

(Anyone need some ideas for new verses? take a look here...)

Yesticlate...




Yesticlate
like nearly everything by Em and Jake
my jaded frontal-lobe can't penetrate
I'm sorry Em, but please translate

penetrate

(what's that!....way in the distance.....sounds like Johnny D's ears pricking...
and thanks Agri for the resource centre)

Penetrate
Plunge your penis in and copulate
Pump your piston and ejaculate
That's how a human being mates

Buggery...

(what's that!....way in the distance.....sounds like Stu McArthur's arse pricking...)

;)

Buggery
Johnny's giving me butt-thuggery
Soon I fear it will get gluggery
(This thread has gone to buggery)

Ovaltine...

Penetrate
Plunge your penis in and copulate
Pump your piston and ejaculate
That's how a human being mates

Buggery...

oh that's just great, not only does this Australian-wool arse-muffler LOOK uncool - it obviously doesn't even bloody work  >:(

(I don't know... after all that excitement, I get "ovaltine")

Ovaltine
Is most needed after what I've seen
Reading verses that were most obscene
But I'll calm down with
Ovaltine


Nicotine

Nicotine
Big buzz when it gets in your bloodstream
It suppresses hunger, keep you lean
Oh joy! Addictive nicotine!

After in-ter-course there is nothing like a smoke
Then a sumptuous three-course meal of artichoke!

Artichoke...

Artichoke
Healthy nutrient for every bloke
But if you prefer your beer and smoke
You’ll get angina and you’ll choke

When you gasp for air, tell me was, it worth the slack?
To pass up on making a life as lumberjack

Lumberjack

Lumberjack
Sleeps outdoors inside his slumbersack,
And when he awakes, he stumbles back
Into his shack
To have a whack

When he comes at daybreak to tend his morning wood
He is lumberwhacking, it’s clearly understood

UNDERSTOOD

Understood
When it rained I found a bridge was good
Kept me dry just like a a jacket hood
When there I went and understood

ANIME

Anime
Japanese cartoon technology
I like the "Hentai" variety
Big eyes, you'll see, in Anime

Why... do... Anime characters have such big eyes?
Why... are... their eyes always bizarrely super-sized?

Super-size

Super-size:
Hefty hamburgers and freakish fries
Ailing arteries and thunder thighs
Gigantic guys go
Super-size

How I stuff my face everytime I go to eat
And without dessert, any meal is incomplete

INCOMPLETE

Incomplete’s
what a mile is if it miss a feet
so are bonfires without a heat
like empty seats, they’re incomplete

How to fill such up, I don´t know, it’s really hard
For a wacky bard from the Swedish avant-garde

AVANT-GARDE

'Avant-garde'
Is a term sometimes applied to art
That in truth is really just ‘bizarre’
I hold such art in low regard

Dada dee-dee dumb – goodbye Dali, fare thee well…
How’d you sell that stuff?  Where’d you find your clientele?

CLIENTELE

Clientele
They no longer have in N.H.L
The whole season now has gone to Hell
They’re cross-checking their clientele

Fi-gure skating’s up, but it’s not the same, I’ll tell
Rinks are now filled up with high sticking tinkerbells

TINKERBELLE

Tinkerbell
Very tiny but she's hot as hell
Peter's Panhandle it sure did swell
All for the love of Tinkerbell

Things have changed somewhat, you will see, you'll understand...
Lawyers preventing us from using Neverland

Neverland...

Neverland
Now more famous for a nether gland
all night sleepovers forever banned
since tiny fans became out-fanned

seemed - like - such a nice way to meet a famous star
sip - some - jesus juice, and pretend you're his guitar

superstar   

Neverland?
Oh, you think you're such a clever man.
Want me to talk of kids' nethers and
That psycho creep. From neverland.

I thought we were past smut now you vulgar old coot.
Can't we keep it peachy clean, this should smell like fruit!

Bahstahd!

Superstar.
When everybody knows who you are.
Get to drive in a sleek uber-car.
Oh why achieve, once superstarred?

You... just... kick back and relax once you are up there.
Your... ass... I mean, not reaching status 'debonair'.

Ampersand...

Ampersand
Is quite difficult to write by hand
Those who can are always in demand
They charge a grand
For ampersands

When you write by hand, ampersands can be a pain
Why folks don't just type I can never ascertain...

ASCERTAIN

Ascertain
When it's difficult for your brain,
The puzzle makes your poor mind strain.
It's very difficult to ascertain.

THC

THC.
Marijuana makes you see crazy.
Available from friendlyl Macy's,
Just light that reef, and feel spacey.

Cookies made of hash, when you mash in the seeds.
Feeds fifteen. Just serve with jesus juice, freshly squeezed.

Handicapped...

Handicapped,
If I'm un-PC I might get slapped
So this parody's already scrapped
You can't poke fun at handicapped

Let's just leave it here, don't want hassle, don't want scorn
Lets try finding a pot of gold with leprechauns!

Leprechauns...

Leprechauns...



Leprechauns
Yiddish-speaking climbers pile gear on
Little Sherpas they call Schleprechauns
They're green and strong, them Schleprechauns!

Why... they... left the Emerald Island, oh who can say...
May-be... they gave up Guinness Stout for Chardonnay...

Chardonnay...

Chardonnay
It’s as dry as a Falluja gay
And it’s not for the Al-Qaida way
To alcohol they just say nay

Why’d you treat those guys, you will ask, as you get slashed
As they spill it out, and your blood, all unabashed

Unabashed

I'm obviously wrong in assuming that <S> and </S> is the way to make strikethroughs through text via HTML here, but since I've seen others accomplishing it higher up in this thread I kindly ask for advice.  //  Peter

Peter - I just highlight the text and click on the strikethrough button - the S with a horizontal line thru it

like this... strikethrough

aah!  just noticed - you used arrow brackets - should've been square ones - and should be lowercase S

Like This?

Thanx Stu!

Unabashed...
At finding all the words that rhyme, like 'clashed'.
And crashed and dashed and flashed and gashed and hashed.
Lashed, mashed, gnashed, pashed, stashed, thrashed and trashed.

Did... I... miss any? Hopefully you won't notice.
I... guess... I should just accept my rhymes are hopeless.

(Can I just say I don't actually know the tempo of those two after-lines, being of the Generation Cringe, so have no idea if they're out of sync with the tune)

Vagabond...

vagabond
he looked a little like Mick Jagger, fond...
of guzzling vino from a bag beyond...
his park bench, "Chateau Vagabond"

as - a - child he sighed that one day he'd be well-known
and - you - can't deny he's become a rolling stone 

rolling stone

Rolling Stone,
Jagger swallowing a microphone
Or a magazine read on 'the throne'
They both are known as
Rolling Stone

Do... they... pay Bob Dylan a hefty royalty?
Well, at least they owe him undying loyalty....

LOYALTY

(Can I just say I don't actually know the tempo of those two after-lines, being of the Generation Cringe, so have no idea if they're out of sync with the tune)
Vagabond...


For such a famous song all you have to do is to poke around a bit via search engines. www.altavista.com and their mp3 search gave me a couple of hits right away. The following one (at least currently) holds what you need, look a bit down to the right for the word yesterday and then download:

Oh, fer chrissake Luke, I don't care if you were born... well, Yesterday -- how in the hell could you not know this song?  ::)

Loyalty
Is a card that Tesco's gave to me
And it gives me lots of things for free
In return for my Loyalty


Asterisk

I know the tune from 'Bean: The Ultimate Disaster Movie'.
Also note that you're confusing correlation with causality. Current youth who know 'The Beatles' generally have parents who enjoyed 'The Beatles', implying that the children would have been brought up with the records playing in the house and singing their songs in car trips et al.

My mum only listened to classical music. (Though concedes that the South Park movie defecates all over Andrew Lloyd-Webber's stuff where only one in five songs is worthy.)

I'm not completely ignorant, I did choose 'Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' for a reason, ya know. I've noticed it's been voted as the greatest album of all time on a number of occasions. Compared to these pathetic rankings:
#273. The Slim Shady LP
#302. The Marshall Mathers LP
#317. The Eminem Show

Loyalty

Asterisk


Asterisk
Language simply too f*cked-up to risk
Never makes it past the censor's frisk
Cen-sor, please kissk, my a**terisk

Use... that... little star to obscure profanity
Then... feel... proud you did, and pump-up your vanity

Vanity

Vanity.
For Leo this is insanity.
And un-fair (oh the hilarity)
Trump's wife should be 'I-vanity'.

*due to popular demand, we shall forego the national anthem*

Sweet relief...

Sweet relief
What to eat to lighten up the grief
Though they’re rather bad for things like teef
But still we love our
Sweet relief

Wow…I… ate so much now I think I’m almost full
Just…a…few more I can sit through a musical

MUSICAL

musical
my very faVORite muse, ick, all
unless you are seeing "Seussical"
I recommend, a musical

In New York I go to the shows, they keep me sane
I keep pining for something more, with Nathan Lane.

Nathan Lane...

Nathan Lane
He's a man who lives to entertain,
But this often leads to vocal strain,
Which causes pain for
Nathan Lane

He's... worked... hard for years, his success is not a fluke
And... he... earns his cheers, quite unlike that Bastard Luke

::)

BASTARD LUKE

Bastard Luke
Perry, Skywalker, Brattoni, Duke?
One of them is due a large rebuke
But oh, which is the Bastard Luke?

If..to..Brisbane you go, Ralphing is the guy to see
He's..no..stuffy toff, not one of the bourgeousie...

Bourgeousie...

Bastard Luke
He's the brat that Emi wants to nuke
Makes us ralph, induces mucho puke
We wish he'd leave,
this bastard, Luke


I totally called that one, Kristof... >:( ;)

Bourgoisie
These are folks much better off than me --
Status, education, and money,
And fam'ly tree...
Dammed Bourgoisie!

But… it’s… proles like me that the world depends upon
Kingston, Kankakee, Kokomo or Kazhakstan

KAZHAKSTAN

Bastard Luke

Sorry, Emi!!!! (gotta say, though, yours had a lovely venomous quality to it...) ;)

KAZHAKSTAN


Kazhakstan
It’s not even near Jamaica, mahn!
Though their cosmonauts’ like ganja, ahhn
Goes up in smoke, in Kazhazstan

Why they fly from there, I don’t know, it’s nowhere all
And if something’s wrong they might land in Senegal

Senegal

Senegal,
Where folks speak with a deep southern drawl
But they don’t use words like and YEP and Y'ALL
Not guys and dolls in
Senegal

Home… of… Youssou N’Dour, there his early days were spent…
And his love endures for his native continent

CONTINENT

(LOL!, I love the way you turned my Kingston reference into the "Jamaica, mahn", rhyme, K1!)

Continent
With a-l suffix, Chris Walken's gent,
With i-n prefix, that gent just went ---
Con-ti-nen-tal's incontinent!

Is... the... land down under continent or island?
Or... is... Australia a place full of Merry Men?

Merry Men

Merry Men.
Prance about in tights like fairies, then.
Robin's straight but they are very bent.
It'th thuch a teathe: gay merriment.

Check...out... their Fat Friar's new attire, it's a chick's dress.   
And... Maid... Marion? Thespian without success.

Prodigies...

prodigies
can be troubled souls ironically
their genius is there for all to see
but focussed quite specific'ly

why...do...we expect them to live like normal folk
where...there's...flames, there's often a blinding cloud of smoke*

do you mean something made from Fe?
or perhaps an incongruity
not sure I can do irony

Mutilate
Like what you did to that food you ate
That's what happens when you masticate...
Or, cows that wait can
Moo too late

I... like... virgin cows, for they look into your eyes
And... they... take a vow that their milk is Pasteurized...

PASTEURIZED

Wow! Unless my very quick counting was wrong we're already above 100.

I'm willing to do the cut and paste and transforming 1-100 to a file/parody and post it on AmIright if there's a majority here for that. Or maybe we should wait till there's 1000, I'm beginning to think that is actually possible.

Opinions?

Opinions
Contributions sought from your minions...

oh, wait -- sorry.  Confused there for a minute.  ;D

And for the name:
A room full of Monkeys?
A room full of three Syllable Words?
A room full of Yesterdays?

Though it could also be an idea to just let the thread remain here as it is for plain inspiration and maybe a place to go when to attack writers block.

And I liked the alphabetical listing of words and phrases that has been used that you did. There's a sourze for collaboration as well. If someone comes up with a verse for a word that has already been used for a verse then those two together are 2 down and just 2 to go to a full parody.

Whatever you do, please don't include my self-authored-vanity-joke-verse titled "Johnny D"  !!!   

How about " Jesterdays " ?

How about " Jesterdays " ?



I second that.  But I don't know that we need to post a parody on the site -- we can just leave the thread running as is.  Maybe use that as a revised title for the thread?  Can you change a thread's title?

Let's take alesson from STG and post the parody author as "The Messageboard of AmIRight". ;D
