Parody Written by:

The Lyrics
At least my last name isn't Schitt.
[intro]
I go by Red Ant but my parents named me Jack
It isn't short for John my name is really Jack
I know it's not unique as far as first names go
But as a part of speech its useage always grows
I'm driving in my car and *pop* I get a flat
Pull over grab the spare and don't forget the jack
Naive or concerned have asked "Hey, Jack you off today?"
Some don't find it funny, I just laugh at what they say!
I play a round of cards the dealer deals me jacks
Small metal pieces and a ball well that is jacks
My name's a crime on a plane, a greeting no easy act
I'll tell you to say "Hello" and never shout "Hi Jack!"
I'm skilled in various jobs and assorted tasks
The "Jack-of-all-trades" joke is gettin' old real fast
If you search hard enough you'll surely find more puns
But please not Jack Miov as that is overdone!
You see a big man and start thinkin' lumberjack
If one is clueless they are said to not know jack
I hear that one sometimes but still I stay composed
My name IS Jack, jackass, so Jack I really know!
Hmm hmm hmm ...
Everything's related
Came from Jack!
Jumpin' Jacks!
And Jack Sprat!
Jack and Jill had some 'fun'!
Jack be nimble oh my!
All the jokes I take them, take them, make them,
Name is Jack!
Ack!
Hmm hmm hmm ...

I never thought so many uses could be used for a name! My favorite is the 'overdone' one...I never heard it before, or one that I would probably yell without thinking 'Hey Jack, you off today?' : D Smilingly give you 5's
This is fanjackstick! Fives.
This deserves to be jacked up high...for funny content..ceiling fives...
sharp and witty. 555
So do you belong to a union, Jack? (Sorry, the other good ones were all taken.)
you think YOU got problems ??????...this is a unique and amusing parody...and by the way, my dad was a "john" who went by "jack"
555, funny it is. I got called Steve Urkel from time to time, but my name doesn't have many, if any rhymes or wordplays to it.
Thanks Pat, John, AFW, Carol. Michael, Alvin and Stephen.
Pat: I have a reply for that line you quoted but cannot put it in comments here. ;-)
Michael: The answer is no but the people I work for have been called jack-booted thugs by some.
Alvin, the only play on your name that comes to mind is Alvin & The Chipmunks. Besides, I have the double whammy of possessing red hair (which was VERY red early on.. that spawned a ton of jokes too) Was your dad's dad also a John?
Stephen, yeah, more plays on Steve than Stephen. The worst I can think of is Effin' Stephen, which actually kind of has a cool ring to it.

Extremely clever, Red Ant --- 5's for the parody, and now, a trivia question: who was "Red Jack" ?
Thanks Johnny D. As for the question, I'm not sure but I'm guessing that might have been a nickname for Jack the Ripper (or some other deviant type) or possibly a pirate's name. AmIRIght?
BRA-freakin-VO, Antman (yes, I'm gonna continue to call you Antman...;-)) This is sublime. 555+
Nickname for JTR is correct!
Thanks Kristof and Johnny D.
Jack...you said: "Pat: I have a reply for that line you quoted but cannot put it in comments here. ;-)"
NOW I'm curious! What is it? hehe

SOTM -- LMAO!!!!!! Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.... After searching countless parodies (half of which I DKTOS), I have finally found it, the top contender for February SOTM overall. It was a tough call, I almost gave this distinct to "Quailing" before I got to read this. I am absolutely impressed! 555 You didn't Jack off with this one.
So, Red Ant, how's your radio station been doing... www.jackfm.com? :) 555 for the self-deprecation alone.
(SOTM) WOW, Red Ant. One of your best ever. I'm going to be looking for puns in everyone's names from now on, starting with my own name for this comment...can you guess who's commenting? ;)
Wow... I never knew one name could have so many meanings... I'm amazed, well it's snack time... Let's see... I think I'll have Apple Jacks!!!
I am really plugged into this, Jack! 555
(SOTM06) Aready voted and commented. One of my favorites.
If helped by another, would that be your co-Jack? That wasn't very good... guess I'll have to jack it in. Had you considered AC/DC for a sequel to this one?
(SOTM) How come it became Red Ant and not Red Jackal then, I wonder? As for Phil's comment about AC/DC I'm pretty sure he's thinking of "She's got the Jack", a song from the 70s by them. Also, there's a Queen song (or Freddy Mercury solo) named "Jack talking".
(SOTM) This is really funny, one might even say jack-tastic.
SOTM-Excellent!
(SOTM) excellent, Red - especially the whole of the jack-of-all-trades verse - 555
jack is short for john? well, that's good. it's nice when people take complicated, confusing, multi-syllable words like "john" and shorten em. anyway, excellent parody
[SOTM] Really enjoyed this one, superb 555
(SOTM) I know there's a lot of uses for the word 'jack'. My fave is 'to know jack all'. Never heard TOS, found it, and WOW! Cool song! Which made the parody even better.
(SOTM) See above. Truly inspired, Mr Fletcher...(can I call you Fletch??)
SOTM - I would say this is jacked up, but it's too good for that. I like it.
(SOTM) Nice one, 555's
(SOTM) Nice one, 555's
(SOTM) See above, & Live Long And Prosper.
SOTM...LOL! This is FABulous, Red Ant...definitely on my short list!
Thanks Chris Bodily TM, Agrimorfee, Cat, Matthias, Tommy Turtle, Pat, Phil, Peter, Rex, Max, Stu, Confission, DAK, bobpie, Kristof, Jay, Larry, Johnny D and Arwen.
Phil: No I hadn't, though with all the puns everyone left I probably could make one.
Cat: I can think of only a few puns involving your name
Peter: My first thought was "Back in Black". As for "Red Ant", see my soon-to-be replaced bio for that.
Bobpiecheese: Indeed, it is a cool song. I'm glad you took the time to find it.
Kristof: Yes, you can call me "Fletch", which is my more formal/work nickname, though I've grown fond of "Antman".
Phil: No I hadn't, though with all the puns everyone left I probably could make one.

Oh, c'mon, Red Ant, there are more than a FEW...I've got your tongue!
Not trying to rub it in, but what about jack-in-the-box, jack-o-lantern, Lumberjack, Lumberjack match, and Jack-off? : ) 555 2 u, Red Ant (or, Jack)
Jack,jack,jack, I can't mak um' as good as you Red Ant...oh wait Jack Black!!!! Hehe!!
Thanks FiFi. I did get in the last three you mentioned, and the first gives me an idea.
Thanks Spoof-Man. I haven't gotten the Jack Black reference... yet.

This is an offensive one... Michael JACK-Son.
LOL this is awesome! Altough coulda put Jumpin Jack Flash in there too
I would have commented on this earlier if I wasn't so jacked up. Great Schitt. One of my fave moments from The Muppet Movie: "Jack not name. Jack job!"
(SOTY) You think Jack is a tough name? How about Dick? Especially when your father's name is Dick...you, of course, become little Dick. People are always firing off their little witty lines, like, "Hey, if you twisted your ankle, would you have a limp, Dick?" Actually, nobody has ever said that one, I made it up as part of a comic bit I've never used.
Enough about me. This is a wonderful parody about your name, Jack. It flows so well with the OS, I think Mick Jagger should re-do it using your lyric. 555

(SOTY) Well, Jack, I think it's a great name for great puns--and you brought them all to one place. My name isn't nearly as fun, I mean what can I do with it--King of the Hebrews? At least with Below Average Dave, I have BAD which is different, but "Hey Jack you off Today" that will never happen to me. . .well not in an innocent matter anyway. . .well done.
Well done, very entertaining.
Excellent job... I got puns on my name where people replaced "And you're a..." with my name in stuff like "And you're an idiot/moron/profanity or hate speech" a lot from middle-school on through now, got called "Handjob" a lot too. Jack would be a hard name to live with, but it's a great drink too, neat or with tonic, if it comes out of the black-labeled, square whiskey bottle. 5s.
Mate that had me laughing so hard I think I broke a rib. Great use of your name.
L' ANT Rouge, Sir, I hope that you add this tag to your list, Sir !
