The Lyrics
had a part...in a famous play
and he swore...he'd do the film one day
and it came to pass...it worked that way
then hollywood was home
he played a hood...who rode into town
with some jerks...spreading terror 'round
they said brando...held the fans spellbound
they found him frisky and wild
the critics said, brando...he's an eyeful...(such an eyeful)
and he reads lines...peachy keen...(such an eyeful)
yeah, that's why...he sets the flavor...of the scene
doo...doo-doo-doo-doo...doo doo doo doo
brando...rose to great acclaim
on the waterfront...he really made his name
an oscar...to seal his fame
what a man that brando was
his name...in the spotlight, stayed
cause his gift...was too strong to fade
but he made it plain...it'd be his way
or else he'd just go home
the critics said, brando...he's an eyeful...(such an eyeful)
and he reads lines...peachy keen...(such an eyeful)
yeah, that's why...he sets the flavor...of the scene
doo...doo-doo-doo-doo...doo doo doo doo
yeah, brando used to catch our eyes
as he wove his scripted stories
you could feel emotion start to rise
in his searing allegory
but when that oscar was refused
lord, they vilified the man
and brando said, you just...don't understand
doo...doo doo doo doo...doo doo doo doo
at last...he was winding down
brando died, where he'd worn his crown
we love the man...though, not around...
his films go on today
the critics said, brando...he's an eyeful...(such an eyeful)
and he reads lines...peachy keen...(such an eyeful)
yeah, that's why...he sets the flavor...of the scene
doo...doo-doo-doo-doo...doo doo doo doo
and he swore...he'd do the film one day
and it came to pass...it worked that way
then hollywood was home
he played a hood...who rode into town
with some jerks...spreading terror 'round
they said brando...held the fans spellbound
they found him frisky and wild
the critics said, brando...he's an eyeful...(such an eyeful)
and he reads lines...peachy keen...(such an eyeful)
yeah, that's why...he sets the flavor...of the scene
doo...doo-doo-doo-doo...doo doo doo doo
brando...rose to great acclaim

Nice tribute.
Well told story, and excellent tribute
Very nice and a good match with the OS.... if you concentrated on Mutiny on the Bounty, you could have changed your hook to (such a bligh-ful!)... or not...
thanks john AFW and TJC (lol)
I like Brando, and this was a good tribute.
Brando is cool like dis parody. Not too funny but entertaining nonetheless. 5's It might even be funnier if someone were to try to sing it with cotton balls in their mouth like he did with the God Father.
There was a method to his madness ... a Stanislavski method! 555
the horror, the horror - and if he lived with Chrissy Hynde in Britain in the 80s, he "coulda bin a pretender" - nice one, alvin - 555
thanks jarvis lionel johnny and stuart
