The Lyrics
This pop song from 1975 is a bit naff but I heard it recently on the radio & suddenly thought of this
John A. Barry…work admired, writes a great parody
Odd words he will utilize…the gist I surmise
Don’t know, don’t know
Dictionary…so I’m told would be handy for me
My brain the size of a pea…I have no degree
Don’t glow, don’t glow
JAB…we don’t tire (tire)…of his verse, some perverse
Glad he posts all his words, witty words
Is a Spell due…of a belle blue?
JAB…he’s on fire (fire)…Barry shone: last one on
Nothing out of the norm: neat form
Doesn’t know twee…wouldn’t flow free
He’s expressin’ in words…he’s impressin’ with words
Alvin may be…flick inspired, writes a Bates parody
A motel stay is unwise…you’ll meet your demise
Don’t go, don’t go
Al an’ Disney…tales are told an’ they’re my cup of tea
I try to sing ‘em in key…my hon says to me
Don’t crow, don’t crow
Wife…said I’m dire (dire)…funny bray, gig today
Singin’ bummers anon…so wrong
Gotta show up…gonna throw up
Malc…aimin’ higher (higher)…post ‘em on, most upon
Streamin’ out of his dome, smart dome
How they flow free…quite the pro, he
Glad the pacin’ was nailed…not disgracin’ or failed
Farce on a spree…now retired, ev’ry day two or three
He likes to write about pies…and alien guys
Don’t slow, don’t slow
Mark’s parody…on ‘em: sold, they’re so funny to me
I like some Todd, so does he…we’re both up to three
Don’t slow, don’t slow
(Or you could substitute these for the last two verses)
An’ Chucky G…much admired, lets us post ‘em for free
I make ‘em crude: no surprise…too rude is unwise
Won’t show, won’t show
Leo to me…good as gold coz his pacin’ is key
And I’m so glad I can see…his new parody
Don’t slow, don’t slow
(Or even these)
Now for TT…should be hired for some work on TV
He likes to write about thighs…an’ ways he can prise
Don’t slow, don’t slow
An’ TJC…when they’re doled they’re amazin’ to me
Ewe makes a mad parody…ovine fantasy
Don’t slow, don’t slow
Odd words he will utilize…the gist I surmise
Don’t know, don’t know
Dictionary…so I’m told would be handy for me
My brain the size of a pea…I have no degree
Don’t glow, don’t glow
JAB…we don’t tire (tire)…of his verse, some perverse
Glad he posts all his words, witty words

Didn't really know the OS, but a nice tribute to some talented and funny writers.
Wonderful tribute!
Don't know, don't know the OS, but greatly appreciate the nod. And, a Spell spate is soon due.
^ Oh, no, Captain A-JAB ! . . . Please refrain from der spells from hell, Sir Sweaty!
Hey Dude, thanks for the include...and good writing,. here
Great tribute to John A. Barry. This month must be tribute season on AIR! Barry is well known for his spell parodies that I dig so much. My nickname for him is Screaming John Barry, because he wrote a truck load of Screaming Jay's Spell parodies. I loved how you also added other parodists...and ChuckyG to the mix as well! 5's all the way!
nifty tribute to one of our site's most gifted parodists
Thanks to all who voted & commented
Very nice multi-tribute to some of the site's best, and also to moi :-D. I've tributed the voJABulary several times -- no plugs, you know how to find them (or how to ask) if interested. 555.
Oh, heck, *just one*. (I can stop at one. Really, I can!)
