This Katy Perry hit was actually written not long after my internet smash, "I Verbed a Noun", but had I released it then it would have gone unnoticed. . .instead it leads off my first non-holiday, non-remix full length album
A man writing parodies just because. .singing and writing is fun
I write parodies for fun and record them because I love performing. Check out my website at badave.com for more info! In case anyone is curious, my backing tracks are created by and used with permission by karaoke-version.com/en. They make some really cool karaoke tracks and are very approachable people.
Story behind the song
This one is about a classic slut, even worse than the one I portray myself as in Careless Whispers, and while you'd think this must be a terrible parody lyrically for radio purposes--its actually far less graphic than S&M by Rihanna, 3 by Britney Spears, or even Human Nature by Madonna--so I guess I'm too tame? I don't know, anyway it was fun to write and record, even if some of those who read the original didn't fully appreciate the write, a little cleaning up made it work--as is the case with the second track, but its no-one's fault, because who can tell what an artist is going to do with his or her mind when it reaches the final stage--production. . .
Lyrics
You-want my mom
and my dad and my dog
Yeah you, are obsessed
With my friends and my foes
And you wouldn't blink
if grandma gave a wink
You sicko
Get far away from me
Cause you like young and old
From humans to toads
Not fig'ratively
That's literally
You know it's not right
To lust for each sight
All night, you make love
You push and you shove
Ew, Please don't say you love my cat, no
Ew, Please just leave my dog alo-one
You like rich and broke
Like dry guys or soaked
You like girls and guys
Love both bold and shy
Seems like a dream
You have pinned
The ball team
You say you love me
While you stare at some teens
Used to love, how we played
But your mind's gone astray
I'm afraid
That girl you've gone insane
Cause you made love to mold
For no-one you'll fold
The in crowd and out
The city and town
Even dwarfs in tights
and the Transvestites
You kiss and make out
It's what you're about
Ew, Did you really kiss that cow, gross
Ew, Now even PETA won't do that-woah
With a flu or the cold
You still won't say no
The quiet and loud
You'll do the whole crowd
You may need therapy
You may be just a tad addicted
You mistake the touching shoulders
As a new invite
Out of your mind
Can't believe we were close
In an alley or shed
On the floor or bed
Big chins and cute snouts
Guts in or guts out
The tall and the slight
The weak and the might
All night you go out
What your life's about
The manliest men
the girly girl fems
The loud with big mouths
The ones who can't shout
The ones who are fly
or those that stand by
You're sly, you sneak up
You say "Hey lets top"
Ew, I don't want to hear about it
Ew, How you've dreamt of Roger Rabbit
This story gets old
Each time it gets told
From my life you're out
Get out my room now
