Song Parody Fragments:
"Solitary Man"
Better Lyrics:
I'm one of the few who will stand proud and say loud:
'Here am I - Sterile Guy!'
I'm lookin' so sharp in my new three-piece pinstripe
Hazmat suit-- Ain't it cute?!?
Don't give me no pills, but until no-one sneezes
Here in my face with their nasty diseases
I'll be what I am:
A sanitary man
Sanitary man
Sanitary man...
'Here am I - Sterile Guy!'
I'm lookin' so sharp in my new three-piece pinstripe
Hazmat suit-- Ain't it cute?!?
Don't give me no pills, but until no-one sneezes
Here in my face with their nasty diseases
I'll be what I am:
A sanitary man
Sanitary man
Sanitary man...
Original Lyrics:
I've had it to here - being where love's a small world
A part time thing, A paper ring
I know it's been done havin' one girl who loves you
Right or wrong, weak or strong
Don't know that I will, but until I can find me
A girl who'll stay and won't play games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man
Solitary man
Solitary man
A part time thing, A paper ring
I know it's been done havin' one girl who loves you
Right or wrong, weak or strong
Don't know that I will, but until I can find me
A girl who'll stay and won't play games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man
Solitary man
Solitary man

"Play Me"
Better Lyrics:
It was morning, I met her last evening
Today I woke up to find her lying
Beside me in bed. I softly said, 'I love you.'
For I've been lonely, in need of someone
She is the one, she belongs right here
And now she stirs, and my eyes meet hers
And she tells me
'You are a john, I turned a trick
My work is done, you make me sick
Pay me'
Today I woke up to find her lying
Beside me in bed. I softly said, 'I love you.'
For I've been lonely, in need of someone
She is the one, she belongs right here
And now she stirs, and my eyes meet hers
And she tells me
'You are a john, I turned a trick
My work is done, you make me sick
Pay me'
Original Lyrics:
She was morning and I was night time
I one day woke up to find her lying
Beside my bed I softly said 'Come take me'
For I've been lonely In need of someone
As though I'd done someone wrong somewhere
I don't know where
I don't know where Come lately
You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me
I one day woke up to find her lying
Beside my bed I softly said 'Come take me'
For I've been lonely In need of someone
As though I'd done someone wrong somewhere
I don't know where
I don't know where Come lately
You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me

The Funny Lyrics: Ah, but porcupine pie, porcupine pie, porcupine pie
Don’t let it get on your jeans And though it sounds a little strange Well, you gotta eat it with gloves Or your hands will turn green Why They're Funny: Apart from 'porcupine pie' being a fairly amusing concept by itself the whole song is just plain daft!

Repetitive Lyrics:
"Sweet Caroline"
The Repetitive Lyrics: Sweet Caroline (bum bum bum)
Good times never seemed so good... Why They're Repetitive: Well, that's pretty deep Neil. Good times are good. Perhaps a thesaurus would have aided you on your quest for synonyms? Or...did you forget you already used the word? Why? Why did you write something that bad?

Inappropriate Lyrics:
"America"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: Free, only want to be free we huddle close, hang on to a dream On the boats and on the planes they're coming to America
Why They're Inappropriate: I understand what these lyrics mean they've just always came across as racist in a way the way there sang if you listen to the song, think about it, on the boats and on the planes, they're comin to america, I love my country but it's a horrible song
Submitted by: bg_112
| "Stones"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: ...being lost is worth the coming home.
Why They're Inappropriate: Shouldn't it be, 'coming home is worth being lost? The lyrics don't seem to add up. Also, what is it about the 'chair' in this song. A. Huxley would be proud.

The Dated Lyrics: She's sittin' up there and fumin'.
She thinks I'm something inhuman. She'd rather be with Paul Newman. Why They're Dated: Since Paul Newman died in 2008, he's probably no longer a good choice as to whom she'd rather be with.

Comments: Even though Neil Diamond had been having several hits going back to 1966, and even writing hits for the Pre-Fab four group known as the Monkees, it would take the year 1970 and "Cracklin' Rosie" for Diamond to have his first #1 hit on Billboard Magazine's HOT 100 charts.

Made Up Words in Songs:

The Made Up Words: Heartlight
Comments: I couldn't find in in the dictionary linked to google.com. That is usually an indicator of a non-real word. So I assume he made it up. Hearts don't really have lights, anyway,

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics:
"Play Me"
The Lyrics: Song, she sang to me; Song, she brang to me
