For a starter, here's the parody of the lyrics to
"Traces (of Love)" by Classics IV:
TRACES (of lunch)
--------------------------------------------------------
Plastic silverware
Taken from the cafeteria
A sandwich made with care
Covered now with grey bacteria
Traces of lunch -- long ago -- that didn't work out right
Traces of lunch...
Splattered globs of cheese
Covering the walls and ceiling
Bacon bits and grease
Once afire, but now congealing
Traces of lunch -- long ago -- that didn't work out right
Traces of lunch -- on my counter-top tonight
BRIDGE:
I close my eyes
And say a prayer
That under my sink I'll find
A kitchen cleaner still there
Somewhere...
Shriveled tangerines
Dripping something like molasses
Faded salad greens
Turned to brownish liquid masses
Traces of hope
In the night
That my friends will ignore
These traces of lunch
On my floor
Here's another parody of lyrics to "Moonshadow" by Van Morrison:
HUGE SEMI
--------------------------------------------------------
(chorus:)
I'm being followed by a huge semi
Huge semi, huge semi
Gonna get flattened by a huge semi
Huge semi, huge semi
And if I ever lose my tires
If their warranty expires
Yes if I ever lose my tires
I won't have to steer no more
And if I ever lose my brakes
If Midas made some big mistakes
Yes if I ever lose my brakes
I won't have to stop no more.
I'm being followed by a huge semi
Huge semi, huge semi
An eighteen-wheeler, it's a huge semi
Huge semi, huge semi.
And if I ever lose my life
While driving on I-95
Yes if I ever lose my life
I won't pay no tolls no more
If I ever lose my clutch
Power steering, shocks and such
Yes if I ever lose my clutch
I'll have to buy a new one...
(bridge)
I tried to short-cut my way
Without a map in sight
Now if I can't find the highway
I'll be driving all night...
(chorus)
