We're thinking of the same tune at the same time. This could almost be a commercial jingle. Hire a punk band to sing it so it would fit into the 30-second format.

Only 5-5-5! BUT WAIT - THERE'S MORE!! Act now and you'll receive the COMPLETE collection of Fiddlegirl and Tommy Turtle hits! ;D

Loved the "info"parody!

Hilarious. Instructions: Apply and scrub for 55.5 hours.

You might expect to pay $1000 for an entire year's supply of oxiclean! But you can get it for the low price of $555!

A nice clean parody.

It does work. So does this parody.

With yesterday's 'bleach' prank-it-jingle, you've truly got yer Oxi lore on...

Tommy T
Fiddlegirl have had a writing spree
One was bleach and this one's OxiClean"™
I wonder now
What Friday brings...

Most excellent, you two!

XD LOL @ WB

Patrick: It must be ESPN! Great idea there, to cram it into time allotted. Thanks for v/c, and as our agent, you get 10% of whatever you can sell the finished commercial for. :-D

Old Man Ribber: It's tough to make a living these days, so:
Rolllin', rollin', rollin'
Our payola, roll in
Products we're extollin'
Till our pockets: swollen
No pride!

Mark Scotti: It'll be on TV at 3:30 next Tuesday morning -- don't miss it! :-D

Jonathan S. They said it would help if we used elbow grease, but I couldn't find any at the store... thanks for v/c!

Phil Nelson: He Speaks! (faint) j/k!!!! LOL, and thanks for v/c!

John Barry: As opposed to many of TT's not-so-clean ones -- not to mention thine :) (Physicists call it "The Fiddlegirl Effect".) Thanks for v/c.

2Eagle: It keeps the ol' shell shiny... thanks for v/c.

TJC: More ESPN! TT's email to FG of draft was titled "Oxi-moron". All us sick minds think alike... ;)

Warren Baker: Comment to OMR might be a good start... and actually, FG *had* suggested a whole series on cleaning products -- could go either way. Or both. Or none. ..... Great job of spinoff comment! (psst! you can make whole parodies out of those -- *trust me*! :-) Thanks for v/c/i (inspiration)!

Sorry, the pea-brain just "got" the Frankie/Annette reference. You very Funi-Fello!

Too much pee in this parody. Oxi-clean it!

Echoing TT's thanks to all... and remember, kids-- keep it clean! ;)

But Merry, you can't spell "Parody" without "Pee"! :)

Another squeaky clean parody! Brushing and scrubbing 555 stains for this one with OxyClean!

Christie Marie M: Thanks -- more on Friday, methinks -- and knock 'em out with your latest project!

I have been known to give long comments on occasion, when I feel like it. Hencetoforth, all long comments are an expression of my thoughts at the time and hereby when I don't have any particular thoughts on a parody I give a short comment. So whatever I say depends on my thoughts on the parody at the time. But you should never infer that I like it less because of a short comment. Rather, I just have no particular funny quip to put up at the time. And that sometimes means the parody was so good that it temporarily stifled my creativeness. In due course, at the appropriate juncture, in the fullness of time, I give long comments.

I'm kinda like that, too.

Phil Nelson and Jonny S.: I had that coming to me :-)... Phil, LOL and a ZING comeback to TT. I never inferred that you didn't like them (else you'd have voted lower). And we all get pressed for time at times. It was intended to be a quip of surprise vs. the general conciseness (loved the line about "so good that it temporarily stifled my creativeness" :-D)

We haven't been crossing paths for very long since your return after a long absence, and it was the first comment I'd seen that was of any length. Look at it this way: You help balance out TT's long-winded oratories -- like this one. :-D Cheers to both -- *always* appreciate *any* comment (esp. favorable, don't we all) and just taking the time to read the parody.

"Brevity is the soul of wit." ("Hamlet", Act 2 scene 2). You should try it some time. Mr. Turtle.

Hoist by my own petard!

I know you know I like them, just was explaining in case anyone thought otherwise on their parodies. It was a general explanation. Yeah, I don't usually have the time for long comments either. As for "quip of surprise" I know, it was funny. All that was just an explanation. Must've just been a coincidence that I put short comments on yours. Thanks.

he he

Fresh thanks to Meriadoc, CMM, Ann Ann Hammond Hammond, and LOL @ Phil Nelson :D

Echoing (echoing) Fiddlegirl's (Fiddlegirl's) thanks (thanks) to Ann Hammond (to Ann Hammond)!
