The Lyrics

Works best if you can recall the plaintive breathy tones of the original


I can think of yesterday
when living a clean life
was everything a man could want to do....
I could not predict the sor-row....
a minor indiscretion in the lift to-mor-row

Coz......
how can you mend....a silent fart?
How can you stop the smell from seeping out?
How can you stop - that small eruption
that hardly makes a sound
oh, oh, how can you put.....a fart back in?
How can a farter ever win?
Please help me mend - my silent fart - so we can breathe again.

I can still feel the faint breeze - that rustled through my cheeks
that misty seepage in my underpants
I just wished it were tomor-row
no-one said a word - such pain and sor-row

so....
how can you stop.....a silent fart?
How can you stop your friends from breathing in?
How can you stop - the air polluting
How can a farter win?
oh, oh, how can you put.....a fart back in?
how can you stop this stupid grin?
Please help me mend - my silent fart - so we can breathe again.

Arwen - October 15, 2004 - Report this comment
I, too, am dying. I hate when I burst out in the office, because the ladies all look at me like I'm insane...(that's how they look at me, but I know that they are really just jealous that I am privy to hilarity like this and they are not...) 5s, Stuart...

555. It's not a problem if there are at least 2 other people (who don't know you and who don't know each other) with you on the lift.
Stuart McArthur - October 15, 2004 - Report this comment
interesting point, Johnny! - I'll have to do the math on that! - but something tells me, instinctively, that you may be right - thanks heaps for the 5s.............Arwen! - heaven is to make you laugh!....but (whispering) seriously, you and I both know those ladies are jealous mostly because you're a beautiful princess and they're not!

Perfect choice of original for the subject matter.

Love it, Stuart. 5-5-5. And Arwen, what did you mean when you said "burst out in the office?" Surely you NEVER!!! :-)
Stuart McArthur - October 15, 2004 - Report this comment
thanks John and Dee! :-)

Dee...if you're wondering if I was laughing so hard that my boobs fell right out of the top of my shirt...you can just come right out and say it...; )

LOL!!!! I didn't stop laughing throughout the whole song! (tearfully) And thanks for making it to a BeeGees sqeaky song...I can replace these words with theirs. If I could, it would be way more than 5, but, still...5's.

I used to think that when I was a kid, 2Eagle, but my Mum told me it was just Satan burping.....Arwen - asked but not answered, your honour....
Stuart McArthur - October 15, 2004 - Report this comment
well thankyou adagio!! - I'm rapt you found it so funny! - those Bee Gees were so earnest weren't they??
Arwen - October 15, 2004 - Report this comment
I'll respectfully decline to answer...and let you all enjoy whatever images your imaginations give you.

This one's a real gas! outrageously funny!
Adagio - October 15, 2004 - Report this comment
Stuart, I always thought that the BeeGees sang that way, until I heard a pre-disco song of theirs. They sounded almost like Simon and Garfunkel on the song "New York Mining Disaster, 1949". I did one parody to it and would like to do another. Who told them they sounded better? lol yea...they were earnest, with the wrong voices.
Stuart McArthur - October 15, 2004 - Report this comment
as an Aussie, we grew up with the Bee gees thru the sixties, before they made it overseas, and they were very much Simon and G. I heard Barry interviewed and he said he tried a falsetto once, was amazed how naturally it came (apparently it's a rare talent, he said) and stuck to it.......I suppose it makes them distinctive (I like it sometimes - "Tragedy")

Quoting Rick from "The Young Ones' : "There's a vewwy farty smell in this room and it's definitely not coming from my bottom...". Excellent work stinking the Bee Gees out, Stuart!

It took a fart smeller - er I mean a smart feller to write something this tasteless. But as the old adage goes, it's better to burp and taste it than fart and waste it. I hope I never share an elevator with you. The content of this parody could be used to promote a whole new kind of competition - "The Smelling Bee".

This is written well - you managed to make it funny and leave the gross stuff out of it. The mark of a fine parodist. Well done Stu.

It's called. . .FEBREEZE .. .spray it on your pants before it happens, Matty--uuuh--ok, well I am a fan of the toilet genre at times, and never really anti--love the creative sides of it, which you no doubt posses

(ABC) And a rooty-toot-toot-TOOT to you! LOL! Very funny, plus a bonus gross-out with the "seepage" line. I think you had one extra word with "faint breeze", but who cares. 5-5-5, an oxygen mask and some perfume on your pants!

I always knew you were full of something, now I know what! Lol...this was hilarious. I also subbed blend for mend in my mind, which led to other ideas... :)
