Fun to hum along to. 555

Thanks, Alvin and Rick!

Well, it's better than cowbell. 5's

Lovely, Mason.. say, had you considered doing something like:
There was Bond in his films
But he hadn't any gadgets
No whizzy bits at all
Till there was Q

;-)

Thanks, Larry! Phil--great idea! I'll add that to my growing "Till There Was..." To-Do list.

This is another of several pieces by this person that all suffer from unnatural phrasing. There seems to be little attention to how syllables and words are stressed in relation to the musical phrases. In the second verse we have the stress on the word "when." Who talks like that? It feels awkward. And in the Bridge there's a strong accent on the first syllable of "galore." Horrendous! It makes you reread it to see if you got it wrong. But you find that it wasn't you who was careless, it was the writer. The line after that doesn't correlate to the music at all. At least not without some contortion that remains a mystery to me. The third verse, however, scans well and is funny, to boot. This guy's got good intentions and a bit of talent, but he would do well to study his avowed exemplar, the great Allan Sherman more closely.

Thanks Ken, I appreciate the comments, which I've taken to heart. Actually I agree with all of your criticisms of this parody and even may try a rewrite.
