Song Parodies -> I'll Always Be A Fan Of Rand (WARNING: Very Geeky)

Original Song Title:	"I'll Never Fall In Love Again"
Original Performer:	Dionne Warwick

Parody Song Title:	"I'll Always Be A Fan Of Rand (WARNING: Very Geeky)"
Parody Written by:	Tommy Turtle

There aren't any links, footnotes, or other explanations of references to the author in question. I figured if there happened to be any other Rand fans here, they wouldn't need them, and perhaps one or two non-fans might become interested in checking out her work. OS lyrics here. Midi here. =Pacing note: in each of the first two lines of the OS third verse, the end word that is one syllable is sung/carried as two.

What do you get reading "Atlas Shrugged"?
A thousand-page book: library, loan ya [1]
Worth it: Francis-co D' - Anconia
I'll always think that Rand is grand
I'll always be a fan of Rand

What do you get reading "Fountainhead"?
A "Roark-itecht", designs uni- -ique
Intellect's sex with Dominique (geek)
Here: Controversy: sex, demand?
Don'tcha know that I'll always be a fan of Rand?

Don't tell me I'm a geeky braggart
'Cause I'm in love with Miss Dagny Taggart
Running those trains with brains; such mind, screw --
-- "Women's Lib"; at top of mankind: you!

What do you get when you read Ayn Rand?
The man who called world to grinding ha- -alt
Reason, exalt: "Who is John Ga- -lt?"
Though socialists won't understand
Yes, yes, I'll always be a fan of Rand

(Instrumental interlude on Rand's preferred organ, her brain)

Af- -fair, "man of steel" tycoon: Hank Rearden
Know by now... you think that I'm weirdin'!

What do you get watching Sally Rand?
A stripper with bod so hot it's fa- -anned
Remington; Sper-ry: Former "bRa- -a- -and"
E- -conomy is free, not planned
Don'tcha know that I'll always be a fan: Ayn Rand!

I'll always be a fan of..... Rand!

[1] One footnote for the sake of accuracy: Paperback, 1084 pages; hardcover, 1168 pages. I've read favorite passages hundreds of times, though I doubt I've read it through cover-to-cover more than a dozen or so. Sort of "geek porn", but only stimulating to the intellect. © 2006 Tommy Turtle.

only rand i've read was "atlas"....a very difficult book to get through but the mind blowing ending was a supreme pay-off...i'll get around to "the fountainhead" before i die...unique parody here

Thanks, alvin. I think "Atlas" was the better, more evolved work -- her magnum opus, but 'Fountain" streams good stuff too.

Peter Andersson a.k.a K1chyd - April 24, 2006 - Report this comment

I haven't read any of her (his?) books but heard of them somewhere, possibly in conjunction with Robert A Heinlein's "Starship Troopers" (which is a book NOT to be judged/avoided because of the movie - which is to be avoided if possible).

AFW - April 24, 2006 - Report this comment

The only Atlas I read is one full a' maps, when I travel..5's from a non-geek

TT - April 24, 2006 - Report this comment

Peter, I think Heinlein was a fan of Rand, and vice versa...check her out... AFW, reading and voting when you DKTO novels or author is a true friend... thanks :)

Can you imagine what she would think of the scope of today's central planning?? Superb work, TT!

...so Charles Atlas Shimmies? The things one can learn on this site ;-P 555

Larry Hensley - April 25, 2006 - Report this comment

Also Don't know the author or books, but still was a good parody

TT - April 25, 2006 - Report this comment

Rod Worden, I'm just sorry that she didn't quite live to see the downfall of the Soviet Union, since she had escaped from Russia herself... or to see the freedom that we're all enjoying on the Internet as we speak... thanks :) ...LucidLupin, lol... thanks! ... Larry Hensley, thanks, and thanks for reading this without knowing the refs.

John Jenkins - September 20, 2007 - Report this comment

I am dismayed at her atheism; but I, too, am a big fan of the powerful ways that she portrays the virtues of freedom. A lot of good lines here, particularly "Roark-itecht."

TT - September 20, 2007 - Report this comment

John Jenkins, thanks... I think in the truly free world that Rand portrays, all people would be free to practice any religion of their choice, even though she doesn't. Unfortunately, that freedom doesn't exist in much of today's world... Thanks for reading and commenting.
