Song Parody Fragments:

"My Guy"
Better Lyrics:
No matter what you say
He won't go away
He's Mai's guy
Nothing you could write
Could make me change my mind
'Bout Mai's guy
You can write all the fics you wanna
But leave him for you, Mai ain't gonna
You better clean up your act
and accept the fact
He's Mai's guy
Original Lyrics:
Nothing you could do
Could make me be untrue
To my guy
Nothing you could buy
Could make me tell a lie
To my guy
I gave my guy
My word of honor
To be faithful
And I'm gonna
You'd better be believing
I won't be deceiving
My guy

Songs That Open With Their Titles:

"My Guy"
Opening Lines:
Nothing you could say Can tear me away from my guy
Comments:
Mary Wells' "My Guy" is considered by many as the ultimate classic Motown song. "My Guy" was one of two songs, along with Louis Armstrong's "Hello, Dolly!" that stopped the Beatles' 15 week hold on the #1 position on Billboard Magazine's HOT 100 charts back in 1964. "My Guy" was Mary Wells' first and only #1 single, but Mary Wells had many other hits before this.

"Two Lovers"
Opening Lines:
Well, I've got two lovers and I ain't ashamed
Comments:
A deceptive song title, "Two Lovers", a Motown hit for Mary Wells back in 1963 isn't about her having two different guys as lovers. No, not indeed, if you continue to listen you find out that she's talking to the same guy about his multiple personality disorder.
