The Lyrics
Lead in this case is the metal, pronounced led. This is a partly true story. :(
We've no flair for singing scripts,
Sparks die on our bunched up lips
Our lead voices sound like fright
We've an excess spirit in a messy plight.
OO-hoo off-pitch women
We sure take the prize
OO-hoo off-pitch women
We've got no tune, my oh my!
She brought her hounds, gave them a fright
They glanced at us with ired spite.
Crazy singing in our little room
It drove those hounds to howling and they needed no moon.
OO-hoo off-pitch women
We sure take the prize
OO-hoo off-pitch women
We can't sing, we're unwise.
La, la, la (YOWL!)
La, la (YOWL!)
La, la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la (aaa-OOOOOOOH)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la (ARR-OOOOWWWLL!!!)
I know we are to die for
Let me tell another
We quit *bleepin'* and instead just read
Cuz there's a roofer goin' 'round, wanting for to pound.
He thinks rocks are thrown at his climb so he waits in dread.
OO-hoo off-pitch women
We sure take the prize
OO-hoo off-pitch women
We've got no tune, my oh my!
Sparks die on our bunched up lips
Our lead voices sound like fright
We've an excess spirit in a messy plight.
OO-hoo off-pitch women
We sure take the prize
OO-hoo off-pitch women
We've got no tune, my oh my!
She brought her hounds, gave them a fright
They glanced at us with ired spite.
Crazy singing in our little room
It drove those hounds to howling and they needed no moon.
OO-hoo off-pitch women
We sure take the prize
OO-hoo off-pitch women
We can't sing, we're unwise.
La, la, la (YOWL!)
La, la (YOWL!)
La, la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la (aaa-OOOOOOOH)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la (ARR-OOOOWWWLL!!!)

OO-hoo off-pitch women
We've got no tune, my oh my!

Womens night out at the karaoke bar? Loved the song idea, very clever!
Sing anyway, gals, sing anyway! It's what's in the heart that counts. 555
LOL Adagio, I'm howling at this. Permission to print and distribute this to the local karoake bars? 555.
Thanks Jeff, Johnny and Red Ant. :D Ant, I think you'd have to ask the Eagles too, but go ahead and print...I'm honored.
Funny! I like the La la la (Yowl) stuff especially...5s
Thanks, Rick C :)
Johnny..right, but we were laughing to much to sing. :D
The "Howl-lay-lu-yah Chorus"...lol...very funny stuff, Pat...5's ~ ~ ~
funny stuff...even funnier when you imagine it sang off key...5s
Thanks Paul and Alvin. :)
Great job, I liked it. You probably could have gotten away with calling it Pitchy Woman.
Thanks Patrick. Good title. :D
Easy, Simon... Or should that be "Take It Easy"?
Thanks, Michael. :D
(SOTM Wild Card 05) Nice one, Adagio. And don't feel bad about your voice...remember, nobody's perfect!
The part about your singing being off pitch might be true, but the part about you being unwise is definitely false. Very well done, especially the first verse.
(SOTM-Wild Card) The humor was totally on key. Would love to hear this sung.
Thanks cat, John J.. and Agrimorfee. : D
And thanks to the slow/low OS it would all be noticeble too.
(WILDCARD) Nice rhyming, hilarious idea. I, too, would love to hear this sung. ... ...or would I?
Thanks Peter and Luke!
(WILDCARD) Good point, Luke. The only recorded parodies I like to listen to are ones where the artist sings well, as well as the background music has to match near-perfectly. This counts out weirdojace and Ethan Mawyer. iisryan is lucky; he can't sing but the backing music is perfect!
How did I miss this first time around? This would make a great recording, if you could find the right singer...
Thanks, Phil.
Now, come on your singing can't be that bad... At least your not on American Idol...
(WILDCARD) See above!
Thanks Matthias and Johnny.
(WILD) Clever, and great use of the title,Pat - 555
Thanks Stu!
(WILD) See above, and though I can't remember (sorry) what you entered in July SOTM I always remembered this parody, it is one of your funniest.
Thanks Jack. : )
I know exactly who you're talking about. I was at a South Beach restaurant last week and I was seated facing this whole table of hotties. Woo-hoo. But then they all belted out the most off-key rendition of "Happy Birthday to You" I've ever heard, and I kinda lost my appetite. Anyhoo. Nice job, Patagio. I particularly like "It drove those hounds to howling and they needed no moon." And your YOWL part is a fairly accurate transcription of the way the Eagles actually sing that bit. Heh heh. I'll admit that I don't understand the last verse at all, but it wouldn't be an Adagio parody if it all made sense, now, would it?
WILD- Very funny interpetation of the Eagles' singing style in the middle part. I can see several annoying off-pitch women singing this. Good work.
Thanks a lot, Spaff! : D And thank you, Mikey.
(SOTM) So funny, 555's!
Smoothly and ironically follows the OS, considering the subject.
Thanks Larry and Scathe. : D
Wildcard...Spaff's wrong, as I (I really hate how capitalizing "I" does nothing to show its intended emphasis) know exactly who you're talking about here. I refer to them lovingly as the "Why in the CRAP do those three ALWAYS sit behind me in Sunday School Sisters," and I'm sure they'd be delighted to know that you've immortalized them in song...=) Nice job...
Hehe...thanks, Arwen...then you spend the whole tune trying to stay on key yourself with that influence? I know exactly how it goes. And sorry I was so late with your thank you...I really only just saw your comment. : )
