Aug 8 "How to Earn Beads" by Below Average Dave a parody of "How You Remind Me" by Nickelback
Not really a big story on this one. I wrote it because I hadn't released anything since Red Ant Surprise, which has topped 50 listens. . .that's about how long it is between most my songs when they slow down. . .I began this one back in 2002, but never did finish up. . .well I guess that's no longer true know is it? badave.com: (mp3) (Comments)

"Far Away"
Better Lyrics:
It was one day, a mistake
Some beans I ate
I point my hand at this random man
Who's to say where to point blame
but you know you know you know
I farted I farted all along
I farted I'll fart until I'm gone
Stop dreaming that it wasn't me
Stop dreaming that you'll be free from flatulence
You met me after work a "chair slipped" I'm a jerk
With me you'd withstand
All the smell to hang around
You'd give your ears and your nose
from buying febreeze you're almost broke
cause you know you know you know
You farted you farted all along
I farted I'll fart until I'm gone
Denying if it was me
denying won't make one free from it anyway
Original Lyrics:
This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

Funny Lyrics:

"Rockstar"
The Funny Lyrics:
We'll all stay skinny
Cuz we just won't eat
Everybody's got a
Drug dealer on speed dial
Why They're Funny:
It's mostly funny because firstly it's so true about just not eating, and secondly isn't the idea slightly comical? We just won't eat, & get a drug dealer on speed dial... I'd really like to check some stars' phones to see if its true lol

Nonsensical Lyrics:

"How You Remind Me"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Tired of living like a blind man
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling
Why They're Nonsensical:
Um, I'm sorry, but does that make sense to anyone? If you're blind, you obviously can't see, and how does not being able to see have anything to do with you not having a sense of feeling?
Submitted by: Dobbs
"Rock Star"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I'm gonna join the Mile-High Club at 37,000 feet.
Why They're Nonsensical:
Wrong. 1 mile is equal to 5,280 feet. So that's really where he's gonna join.

Misrhymed Lyrics:

"Someday"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Lets rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror
Why They're Misrhymed:
'This' and 'fits' don't exactly rhyme and neither do 'novel' and 'horror'. That's pushing it!
Submitted by: sXe LeXi 5X2
"How You Remind Me"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
Its not like you to say sorry,
was waiting on different story
Why They're Misrhymed:
They really stretched to rhyme these lines. He had to pronounce sorry incorrectly (soury) to make it rhyme...plus the line 'are we having fun yet?' line is needs to be burried in the cemetary of catch phrases.

Dirty Lyrics:

"Figured You Out"
The Dirty Lyrics:
I like your pants around your feet
I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favourite damn disease
Why They're Dirty:
It doesn't take a geneous to figure out that this song is about some dude, possibly Chad Kroeger, getting into some girl's pants.
Submitted by: Celeste
"Animals"
The Dirty Lyrics:
You're beside me on the seat
Got your hand between my knees
And you control how fast we go by just how hard you wanna squeeze
It's hard to steer when you're breathing in my ear
But I got both hands on the wheel while you got both hands on my gears
By now, no doubt that we were heading south
I guess nobody ever taught her not to speak with a full mouth
'Cause this was it, like flicking on a switch
It felt so good I almost drove into the ditch
Why They're Dirty:
Obviously they are doing things in a car...like squeezing body parts, and talking with a mouthfull..*wink* *wink*
