The Lyrics

Another entry from the unreleased archive vault.

Original song on YouTube

Tagline: It's 1990, and a European duo win the Grammy Award for Best New Artist. Subsequently they are found to have lip-synched their work (gasp! shock! horror! - no-one's ever done THAT before), world opinion turned against them and their Grammy was rescinded. The passage of time has revealed that they were not the only parties involved...
Those laddies
Scored Grammy, naughty dudes
So very shrewd
Such baddies
Those laddies, world got screwed
Voice switcheroo...
Those Milli
Those Mill-Vanilli two
Boost revenue (they scammed the Grammys)
Goal: Grammy (got Grammy)
Then got in deep doo-doo
Those Grammy two

What’s wrong? Was group just undermanned? (sham Grammy!)
Lip-syncing, judgement poor, that band (scam Grammy!)
Outrageous, was so underhand’ (dagnabbit!)
Damn you, you two scound-r-als!

These guys so phoney, prize revoked (no Grammy)
‘Cos on recordings, hadn’t spoked (joke Grammy)
Blind rage results as world provoked (o’er Grammys)
Oh no! How can this be?

Stole Grammy (stole Grammy)
Stole Grammy then those two, were well to do
Faux Grammy: brouhaha, haha-brou
Re-sult skewed
Snowed Grammys (why did you?)
Those scammer Grammy two, schmo Grammy dudes
Decree bad greed did feed you
Those Grammy (those Grammy)
Those Grammy Europe dudes
Need asses sued...

Lived high on hog, up on the hill (showed Grammy!)
‘Til lawsuits, with, their lives were filled (d’oh! Grammy...)
Said “Mountain made out of molehill” (oh Grammy...)
“Why mind?”
Ah, no no no, no no

Seen world turn acrimonious (woe, Grammy)
Spleens vented, boys thrown under bus (big whammy)
That pair of French and German bums (oh! Grammy!)
Bet’r off without you
Sure - but who else connived?

Oh Grammy (oh Grammy)
Oh Grammy Grammy, losed
Oh Grammy, losed (no Grammy Grammy)

[Lip-synching ad nauseum hereafter]
