Sittin' on logs and roastin' s'mores
In a camp at the end of your secret trail
But I'm losin' blood through all of my pores
Although you meant well
I'm itchin' like hell!
Oh, gimme the DEET, boy, and spray my clothes
I wanna fight off all the mo-squi-toes
They're thick today
Oh, hit me with DEET, boy, from ears to toes
A big ol' mosquito flew up my nose
I'm ticked today!
Thanks for the tent that you shared with me
It's cool you go camping and take me along
I like to be here with the lake and trees
So I hate to complain -
The bugs are insane!
Oh, give me the DEET, boy, the good Lord knows
I'm catchin' West Nile from these mo-squi-toes
I'm bit today
Oh, give me the DEET, boy - this campground blows
And take me someplace where the windows close
I quit today!
(Lather, rinse, repeat)

Excellent
Refreshing , I actualy lol today spaffy!
I enjoyed It!
You rule, man. Except I just got this damn thing out of my head after two weeks of my kids asking me "What are musky toes?" from when I heard the mp3 and kept singing it...By the way, I went to your site recently and read everything I hadn't before--some of your stuff seriously kicks ass. The Vermont thing was great; reminded me of Dave Barry. Also, I can't listen to Roy Orbison without thinking, "Witty Mormon...walkin' down the street..." Okay, I'm done now.
Hahahaha!!! Your parodies are the best on this site! I could probably never write something that clever in a million years.
lol...this one is really good.
Didn't read the thing earlier because I didn't know what DEET was (I don't get out a lot - ha!) but glad I finally checked it out. Good job!
Thanks, Billy & Wild & Diva & Mike & Merry. Funky: Yes you could, and probably in far less than half that time. Claude: Thanks for checking out the site. Dave Barry is a god, so any comparison to him is a huge compliment, but the Viva Vermont exchange was actually inspired by Don Novello, aka Father Guido Sarducci, aka Lazlo Toth; he has a book called Citizen Lazlo! wherein he reprints the goofy letters he's sent to corporations, government offices, etc., along with their bewildered replies. Great stuff. Finally, musky toes are symptomatic of West Nile, so you should get yourself checked.
Song was funny, but the website gave me 46 viruses and now if I log on to some websites, porn comes up. thank a lot. NOT!
That's what you get for not getting a decent anti-virus program (I can suggest one!) and keeping it up-to-date.
I have Firewall Virus scan (Updated September 11) and I have 12 backup virus scans. They all are. I'll send those viruses back to him. And the porn. This isn't long enough to be the whole song.
Looks to me like you had a virus before you ever got to the page. I see no viruses...and I like the song. :)

Anono: What you have must be West Nile. My site is plain ol' HTML with some downloadable MP3's, and I virus-screen that stuff before it goes up. But just for you I went back and rechecked everything - it's clean as an Irish Spring whistle. But if, as you say, visiting my site gives you free access to porn elsewhere on the web, that's great news - I can start charging admission.
LOL! 5,5,5 This one's particularly funny to me since a friend of mine and I call ourselves "The Deet Boys" - when we go hiking in bug season we use Deet, whereas my wife uses that stuff that makes you smell like a patio candle.
Thanks, Johnny Deet.
SWAT! OUCH - I should have seen THAT pun coming....'sokay, puns like that don't bug me....they just fly in one ear and out the other....and remember, a myth is a female moth with a thpeech impediment.
G pers, creepers, glad you got that Deet, sir! G pers, creepers, you deserve those fives! ;)
Awesome dude, good for me no one can vote for you anymore. :-)
(G contest) Spaff - Wow! I know I've read this one before and I thought I voted and commented. Hmmm...looking at the dates I see it pre-dates when I started posting here. I might have voted back then but been "TOO SHY" to comment. I remember looking and voting on some of the postings a bit before I actually started participating. This must have been during that period. Anyway, another great job. 5's
Still love it. My daughter went camping with the girl scouts recently and came home covered in bites; I'll have to play her this one. Also, I'm glad I looked at it again cause I always wondered why you called him "Johnny Deet".
Great job! 555!
Have to give credit to the new OFF commercial, which really helped me understand this song. I'm ticked today...nice!
Thanx, Mello & Magical Mystery Goat & P-Rob & Jackie & Jeffaroo!
Claude: Yeah, it went from Johnny Deet to Johnny Angel to Johnny Angle to Johnny Dangle. "Claude 4 Prez" was a no-brainer; coming up with a decent nickname for this guy is more of a challenge.

(delayed abc's comment) Coulda sworn I commented on this earlier. Enjoyed very much by myself, especially the last stanza.
Just randomed upon this one, Spaff...hilarious!! 555!
Looney 2nz & Evenstar: I was gonna say thanx for buzzing by, but that's WAY too lame of a pun.
All your parodies are the best, and most true to the original!!! AWESOME I agree with all the above comments ... Melhi, that was tacky, but very TRUE
Thanx, Canuck Chris. But Melhi? Tacky? Impossible!
wow... I am impressed :) i just dl'd the mp3
Thanx, CoffinRobber. Only a few more months till mosquito season!
