Song Parodies -> Born To Be Styled (John Edwards)
| Original Song Title: | "Born To Be Wild" |
| Original Performer: | Steppenwolf |
| Parody Song Title: | "Born To Be Styled (John Edwards)" |
| Parody Written by: | Tommy Turtle |
The news that Edwards' campaign was paying for his $400 haircuts gave this a good run on the airwaves until Edwards dropped out of the race; then it was miraculously resuscitated when he "popped up" (so to speak) as the father of a child by an affair. Thanks, John! ...As previously mentioned, for radio, short = good, and they're not fussy about repeating choruses as we are here. And this is the *last* of the Pro lyrics I can release for a while (readers heave sigh of relief).
Get your scissors cuttin'
Mousse is comin' my way
Lookin' for a face peel
And I'll have my campaign pay
Yeah Johhny, go make it happen
Show the world such a lovely face
Smile all of your gums at once
Let the wrinkles erase
I like cut and blow-dry
Shampoo and condition
Stylin' with a wand
I'm the cutest politician
Yeah Johhny, go make it happen
Show the world such a lovely face
Smile all of your gums at once
Let the wrinkles erase
I'm a cute Mama's child
I was born, born to be styled
Tease my hair so high
I'm such a cutie-pie
Born to be styled
Born to be styled...
(ad lib repeat and fade away from politics; console yourself by fathering illicit children.)
Yeah, it's a kick having your stuff commercially produced and aired, but with the limits on length and dumbing down to average listener IQ (no wildly-stretched puns or obscure refs), it's actually more fun having them AIR-ed. © 2008 Tommy Turtle. All rights reserved. E-mail: tomm...@yahoo.com

AmIRighters are smarter than your average listener? With a lot of the submissions I've read lately, I'm not so sure anymore. But this one is good.
the contrast between this and the original lyrics cracks me up
A little outdated newswise but a good parody.
I like
McKludge: Well, a few of them are, anyway, and we can choose to write to that few :-) thanks McK.
alvin: ...and the biker/Edwards image is quite a contrast too, no? :) thanks alvin.
Timmy1000: I wasn't allowed to post these while they were being played on the radio, as the stations who download them are guaranteed exclusive use by the producer. With the elections over (finally!), they became obsolete, and I was permitted to post them. Some of my others have been posted over the past couple of months. Thanks for v/c.
Ann Hammond, I thank.

Nice clippin on John, here.
I like your cutting edge humor. Parodists might miss John Edwards, but I don't think that voters will.
AFW (lol), thanks.
John Jenkins (lol^2), thanks... agree on both counts.

Nice updating - bikers to yuppies.
LOL -- thanks 2Eagle.
Ohhh. . . . what would we NorCAL tokers do, without those ~Biker Boys~ ! eh, sir ?
MadameDeTokerVille: I guess you'd have to settle for parody writers! Thanks for v/c, MDTV.
Yeah, now that you mention it... well written parody. Especially liked the sub: 'Smile all of your gums at once'
Glen S., thanks much.
