ha ha - funny, Arwen "I'm not a fan, man, they can smell you in Japan" very tight - 555

Kristof Robertson - October 07, 2004 - Report this comment

Boy howdy! This is unbelievably good! "They can smell you in Japan" is priceless. And the last verse had me apoplectic with glee...super! 555

excellent, Arwen

Ingeborg S. Nord�n - October 07, 2004 - Report this comment

Brilliant work as usual--very well rhymed and paced, and the no-holds-barred criticism contrasts beautifully with the childlike sickly-sweetness (no pun intended) of the original song. Fives all round!

Sweet parody. I, too, loved the Japan line.

This smells wonderful. Great lines all over. I'm gonna stalk you in my walker....soon as my hip replacement heals up. 555

I'm not gay, my boyfriend Dan is... Very clever Arwen, great parody.

"Now don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright."
"But that won't keep me warm while I'm here at Amiright, yeah."

This one had me laughing out loud...never a good thing to do at work, oh well! It's funny enough to get written up for! 5s from me!

Arwen - October 07, 2004 - Report this comment

Oh Ravyn! What a compliment! I know I try to keep to the "silent shake" while I'm at work...but sometimes you HAVE to laugh out loud. So glad I could provide that release for you!! Thanks!

Brilliant Arwen...parody of the day

Michael Pacholek - October 07, 2004 - Report this comment

Does this mean he's NOT "too sexy for Milan, New York and Japan"? But make your man wash the dishes? That lets me out. Here in the 21st Century, we have these amazing machines called dishwashers.

Adam Eccleshall - October 07, 2004 - Report this comment

Great stuff :-) 5's

Arwen - October 07, 2004 - Report this comment

Billy: Thanks, buddy!! =) =) =)

Mister Pacholek: When I say "do the dishes," I MEAN loading and unloading the dishwasher. I HATE doing that. Seriously.

Adam: Thank you very much. I appreciate it! =)

Stuart McArthur - October 07, 2004 - Report this comment

Thanks for the welcome Arwen - I love this site, and your parodies (and you) are refreshingly personable and cool....

Arwen - October 07, 2004 - Report this comment

Oh Stuart! You've been here a week and you're already hip to the "Arwen is the most refreshingly personable and cool chick this side of Rivendell" vibe that's floating around? ; ) You ARE astute!

Seriously though...thank you VERY much for a lovely compliment.

Phil Alexander - October 08, 2004 - Report this comment

Super, Arwen. Too many good lines to pick out just one :-)

Arwen - October 08, 2004 - Report this comment

Thanks so much, Phil! I honestly just threw this one together the other night before I went to bed...maybe I should stop TRYING so hard the rest of the time...=)

Phil Alexander - October 08, 2004 - Report this comment

Those are often the ones that work best: when you have to rack your brains for every other line, they never flow quite as well. Recently I've taken to leaving unfinished anything I can't polish off in a few minutes (with one or two exceptions), but jotting down some ideas to go with. Then every so often I review the half-finished bunch and there's usually something that jumps out at me.

Arwen - October 08, 2004 - Report this comment

Phil, for my whole parody writing life that's how I've been. And, for the most part, that's still how I am. I'll be driving along and a line will hit me...and I just kind of build around it. By the time I get back to my office, or home...or to a random laptop that I can snake from an unsuspecting cafe customer who's gotten up to get a refill...I've basically got the whole thing written in my head.

Still...every once in a while...when I hit a little writer's block...I find myself trying too hard. And I'm just very recently coming out of a funk like that...

Hey, Arwen! Great parody! I missed it last week cause I was feeling sick; I'm all better now. Anyways, I give this parody a perfect score. :)

Arwen - October 12, 2004 - Report this comment

I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better, Serafina! And thank you very much for the vote! =)

Johnny D - October 18, 2004 - Report this comment

Wow, great! Gee, Arwen, your parody writing is of such high quality, I wish we could see more quantity, too.

P.S. What Spaff said.

Arwen - October 18, 2004 - Report this comment

Aww...thanks, Johnny! All I can say is that if I try too hard to submit more than I'm already submitting, I fear that the submissions will suck. And then...you'll all be saying..."Yeah, Arwen...I'm not a fan!"

Johnny D - October 18, 2004 - Report this comment

I'll always be a fan of my favorite pointy-eared Princess.... :-)

If you can polish up old stuff like this then I so no reason for taking the dishes out of your hands.

Jeff Reuben - November 02, 2004 - Report this comment

Totally missed this when it came out. This was great: "If I could have just three wishes I'd want a guy who'd do the dishes" My wife loved this line (and when I do the dishes)...what were the other three wishes? Also, I agree on the quantity/quality thing =)

Arwen - November 02, 2004 - Report this comment

Oh Jeff...you really know how to ask the hard questions, don't you? Bastard. Um...3 wishes...

1. Looks like Vin Diesel
2. Sings like Kenny Chesney
3. Um...Does Dishes like Alice from The Brady Bunch??

Claude Prez - November 19, 2004 - Report this comment

Great stuff. And just so you know, I do all the dishes at my house. Plus I can sing like Vin Diesel. (he can't sing, right?)

Arwen - November 19, 2004 - Report this comment

Thanks Agri!

Claude...you know, this might make you (and many others) cringe...but being the obsessive entertainment news hound that I am...I have to break it to you that I read a while ago that Vin REALLY wants to re-make "Guys and Dolls." That's right...dancing and singing...and you KNOW I'd watch it! I've heard him sing. I'm not complaining. But then...he could cough and I'd probably think it was sexy...

Claude Prez - November 19, 2004 - Report this comment

I bet he does the damn dishes too. Bastard.

Very well done, Arwen, but I'm curious about how you learned about all of these male imperfections. I'm certain that the men in your life do not have bald spots to cover over or exhibit any of the other flaws described in your parody.

Oh John...I've seen lots of movies about loser guys. That's how I know that they exist. You are right that I have never encountered one on my own. And I have NEVER gone on a date with one. Because I am the Queen of Perfectville...; ) Thanks!

Hee! Thanks, Paul!
