The Lyrics
This is a remake of the first parody I have submitted to this site. My parodies were not the best. I have seen room for improvement in all my parodies. This parody was inspired by a traffic jam I suffered in Winter 2024. The highway was closed and the traffic was horrible. We spent an hour in that traffic. I chose this song to parody because this song annoys me. This song annoys me because when my parents and I went to an Elton John concert in 2015, when Elton John performed this song, he made the entire audience sing the "Laaaaaa, la-la-la-la-laaaaaa, la-la-la-la-laaaaaa, la-la-la-la-laaaaaaa" part. I hated it and yelled "Elton! Stop making my parents sing!" In this version, the updated version, I changed it to screaming the text in all-caps. The screaming represents the fact that we can't take traffic anymore and want to move faster. It must NEVER be sung. It must be screamed in my parody. I hope you enjoy.
I recall that we’re not so young,
But when people can be so dumb,
Like the driver who is stoned
Or the moron who just sits and plays on his phone,
But there’s something worse that we all got,
That stupid thing when the highway’s all blocked.
All the other cars and I are getting stuck.
Now, I’m hatin’ and waitin’ in this traffic. It sucks!
When cars are blocking, it’s something shocking.
Especially when we stand still.
I never knew me a slower time
And I guess I never will.
Oh, lawdy mama, I want to fight,
But I must hold my brakes real tight.
And the cars stalled now block all light.
BOOOOO!
TRAFFIC REALLY SUUUUUUUCKS!
TRAFFIC REALLY SUUUUUUUCKS!
TRAFFIC REALLY SUUUUUUUCKS!
Lots of time went by, and I think I’ll die.
Want to go and leave now before it is night.
Long times yelling at immobile machines,
Like I’m at a long light that will not turn green,
They both always kill the time I’ve got.
I’ve been stuck in this traffic too long,
Doing nothing as time goes past
But yelling as the traffic jam still lasts.
When cars are blocking, it’s something shocking.
Especially when we stand still.
I never knew me a slower time
And I guess I never will.
Oh, lawdy mama, I want to fight,
But I must hold my brakes real tight.
And the cars stalled now block all light.
BOOOOO!
TRAFFIC REALLY SUUUUUUUCKS!
TRAFFIC REALLY SUUUUUUUCKS!
TRAFFIC REALLY SUUUUUUUCKS!
I recall that we’re not so young,

The "cars stalled now block all light," just before the yelling post-chorus is metaphorical for the fact that I feel hopeless in traffic.
