~
Crave—
A satirist's sly inuendo?
Or an ironist's riff that's extendo-?
Or a screen writer's twist that's transcendo-?
Well The Turtle does *all that* in song!
Sure—
The Improv may 'giggle' the boozy
And 'The Onion' may niggle a newsie
But for lyrical lambaste the choosy
Turn to Turtle for spoofs in a song!
hOlé!
There are comics a' carping in Cambridge
There are mockers amok in Montreau
But right *here's* a 'Right' writer
Incitin' insighter
Who's MIN-str-el psych'll must flow!
He won't quit!
He spoofs on!
It's a Tommy T. custom
To take tunes and bust'em
By clubbing his subs thereupon!
Oh—
The reason Chuck G. has an ulcer
And must mainline IV AlkaSeltzer
Is the tunes that The Turtle belts out, sir
Tend ta' feature libidinous schlongs!
hOlé!
He's The Parodist Joie-Joie de 'V'-est
Who oVINEly opines from his shell
Such salacious sardonics
To classic symphonics
Alarmed are the sheep in their dell!
He won't stop!
He larks on!
It's Chelonian custom:
Lamb'poon ewes n' stchuup 'em
By thrusting in subs that go 'SPRONG!!'
If you're ever in need of a chortle
Don't ya bother with two leg'ed mortals
Grab your mouse and head straight for Chuck's portal
And quite soon be amused
When hilarity spews
From a shaggin' that's waggin' n' wrong
That's what Tommy T. does to a song!
hOlé!

Absolutely fabulous in every way, as is the legendary master himself!
A "shell" of a job, TT! You are less a "wordsmith" and much more like a "verbal jeweler." Bravo! ;D
OK!
LOL...I misread your name! It was so "turtle-esque" that I thought it WAS TT (shell shock on my part...lol) ! You are to be commended even more for this dead-on job, TJC!
It would be hard to beTTer this fiTTing tribute
Great turtle boost, here
Great trib'ewe'te to TT! He's one of my fave parody artists. He's a genius. I'm very shell-shocked about this song! TT is so well-educated and talented and you did an awesome job writing this parody as well! Shelling out three sets of 5's for you!
Very clever and nice contrast between the pace of the song and the image of a turtle ... I think. I'm not sure if it'd be good to actually understand many of these references though. :-D
Ewe've got (Chelonia) Mydas' touch! Must be the law of Karma -- what you give out, you get back. Give a tribute, get one.... TMGLTM, but the minstrel psych'll flowing is hammerin' out wordsmithery on the anvil chorus! Wondrous wordplay on a song few would eve n try to parody. .... oh, and did I mention that I liked it? 555 gigabytes of gratitude!
Thanks all... and it was just forTuiTous happenstance that our Turtle submitted yet another masterpiece today, over-the-top confirming my unAIRing judgment in these matters!
Under that hard shell lurks a genius parodist!
Verrrry deserved tribute to our TT!
fives all the way...
a reptile dysfunction...great tribute
ROFLMAO!!!! best three-word comment ever! -- TT.
