Parody Written by:

The Lyrics
Whack-A-Mole...the carnival game where moles pop out of holes, and you whack them before they go back down.
"What's the matter, why you sick now baby,
Didn't like that last teacup ride?
Let's head over to the arcade, Pumpkin
Maybe I can win you a prize"
On a mission to win toys for my honey
I can't win a bear, till I spend a lot of money
Everybody's riding on the roller
Coasters, but it's still Whack-A-Mole for me!
What is wrong with my reflexes, sugar?
I don't know how I got so slow
By the time I try to smack that rodent
He pops out of another hole
Lost again, I can't hide my frustration
I best get some speed, and improved coordination
Out-classed, kids laugh, even if I place last
It's still Whack-A-Mole for me!
Whoa, I grab my hammer smashing drinks so they splatter
Hit the game attendant in the spleen
He asked with a frown
"Is security around?"
It was time for me to flee the scene
Time to find a new machine
Finally outscored some punk teenagers
But this nine-year-old kid's an ace
So I walked up to him with my game hammer
And I smacked him upside his face
He bit my hand, I swung again, he was dodgin'
I kicked him in the crotch, then I whacked him in the noggin
Beat up, young pup, hope his dad don't show up
It's still Whack-A-Mole to me
What's the matter, why do I keep losing
Am I drunk or am I a klutz?
Should have driven to the toy store, bought a
Teddy bear for just twenty bucks
Blew my cash, and I shuddered from a cold chill
Hope my girl don't make mountains out of a molehill
Sweat-soaked, I'm broke, no joke, lost the stroke
No more Whack-A-Mole for me
Maybe I'll go beatin' on some groundhogs, baby
But no more Whack-A-Mole for me
Didn't like that last teacup ride?
Let's head over to the arcade, Pumpkin
Maybe I can win you a prize"
On a mission to win toys for my honey
I can't win a bear, till I spend a lot of money
Everybody's riding on the roller
Coasters, but it's still Whack-A-Mole for me!
What is wrong with my reflexes, sugar?
I don't know how I got so slow
By the time I try to smack that rodent
He pops out of another hole
Lost again, I can't hide my frustration
I best get some speed, and improved coordination
Out-classed, kids laugh, even if I place last
It's still Whack-A-Mole for me!
Whoa, I grab my hammer smashing drinks so they splatter
Hit the game attendant in the spleen
He asked with a frown
"Is security around?"
It was time for me to flee the scene
Time to find a new machine
Finally outscored some punk teenagers
But this nine-year-old kid's an ace
So I walked up to him with my game hammer
And I smacked him upside his face
He bit my hand, I swung again, he was dodgin'
I kicked him in the crotch, then I whacked him in the noggin
Beat up, young pup, hope his dad don't show up
It's still Whack-A-Mole to me
What's the matter, why do I keep losing

Sweat-soaked, I'm broke, no joke, lost the stroke
No more Whack-A-Mole for me
Maybe I'll go beatin' on some groundhogs, baby
But no more Whack-A-Mole for me

Brilliant! But you do need some anger management therapy....555
parenting - it's all about being a mature and restrained role model - keep up the good work, Jeff ;-) - 555
But you're still gettin' fives from me!
Very aggressive song, no? "I best get some speed" for chasing around a toddler!
LOL! You had to get "mountain of a molehill" in there, didn'tcha?
You inspired me, Jeff. I will be posting "It's Still Caulkin' Holes To Me" in the near future.
Thanks Kristof, Stu, JD, E and Leo. And Leo, I was ready to submit this when I realized I'd gone the entire song without the molehill line. I spent the next hour trying to decide where/how to fit it in =)
This is excellent, Jeff! LOL...5s
one of my favorite jeff reuben songs. what is this, #101? too bad the rating scale doesnt go to 6...or, better yet, to -1 ...and...about the molehill...you suck!! =)
I love it. I have to say though, you are one violent bugger aren't cha?
I hate this game but like this parody. 5's. PS- Saw the website. When did that come up ?
CONTROL YOURSELF!! lol Delightful parody. 5's uh..."Should have driven to the toy store, bought a Teddy bear for just twenty bucks" - true, but it's the fact that her knight in shining armor went to battle with a rodent that endears him. :) ..
Son of a GUN this is great, Jeff!! It's a hard song to do...and you mastereed it...=) LOL!
Great job! 5s.
you hit this one on the head all right 5-5-5
This is wild, unique, and very entertaining...fivo's
Hilarious!
Thank you Rick, Bob, Oddy, Red Ant, Adagio, JB, Arwen, Malcolm, AFW and Ash!

SOTM.....Some minor pacing hiccups, but very funny. 455
Never seen that game here but seen it in American movies, over here we're more into lottery type entertainment, which also in many ways explain our government... but I'm digressing. Good stuff, you're in the race.
K1...I'm also more into the lottery type games. Except when I lose, and start running around with a foam hammer whacking animals on the head to vent frustration.
Dee, you're correct about the pacing in a couple places. In those lines, I made a judgement call where if the song was sung aloud, it worked and sounded natural, and I decided that was better than changing the lyrics to match the syllables. Of course, without a recording, that match may be harder to find, especially when the reader is not me. So, I have no problem with the 4s I've gotten for pacing. And, of course, thanks for reading, and glad you liked it!
SOTM--Still FABulous to me!!
(SOTM) Holy moley, don't know how I missed this. Billy Joel lyrics almost always make for interesting parodies. Well done.
I know it's only Whack-a-Mole but I like it!
I can't say I've ever been whacked in the spleen, but that line made me laugh - and it just got better from there. Great stuff, Jeffaroo.

(SOTM) So You Wanna Be a Whack-a-Mole Star? :) Love this!
Whack a mole into guacamole. Hilarious concept, Jeff. 555
(SOTM) Whacky!
(SOTM) See above!

Baaaaaaaaad.
HAHAHAHAHAHA I hope I gave all fives since I couldn't stop laughing long enough to see where I clicked. I though Weird Al did a good job on this song with his rare "Still Billy Joel To Me" song but this one was way better! Too bad I can't give sixes...wait , that would be 666! Never mind, I guess the fives will suffice. Awesome job.
(SOTM) I'm always a sucker for a good BJ parody (that's Billy Joel, ya perverts!)...and this is as good as they come.
"Kicked him in the crotch, then I whacked him in the noggin"-- Great stuff. Glad you worked in the molehill line too.
Lovely, Jeff - you gonna do "Still Guacamole to Me", by any chance?
(ABC) Never knew moles could make someone so violent. Great song!
Excellent Jeff. So, Claude favors Skee Ball and your a Whack-A-Mole guy. Maybe I should try my hand at a classic arcade parody. I lost myself, Excellent stuff Jeff, don't take any crap from security.
(SOTM) "If I had a hammer..." wonderful stuff.
Little suckers had it comin', the way they pop up all smug with that goofy grin. I swear, one of these days...
(ABC-S05) Great coming back to read this one again, many great lines in here. About the pacing decision you made, it's lost on me since I don't know the song intimately-sounding "natural" (or looking "natural") is just as good as matching exact syllables in many cases.
see above
Holey Moley!!!
ABC- I gave it 544, good pacing. Sort of funny, didn't find it hilarious, but there were some good lines. Nice job.
(S) those second last lines are hard to get all 4 rhymes, but you did a great job, esp. "Sweat-soaked, I'm broke, no joke, lost the stroke" - funny stuff, Jeff
(ABC05) Still a hoot, Jeff!
(ABC) See above!
(ABC) Hilarious, it's what the original should have been.
(ABC) Not a game I could play.
(ABC) Cracked me up right from the start :)
ABC--Yep, it's STILL one of my favorite songs ever. Just fabulous, Jeff!
I don't know how I missed this classic. Anything Arwen says is SOTM material has got to be great. Maybe I should pop out of my hole a little more often. Of course, here in New Jersey, "whack a mole" is what Silvio did to Adriana.
Jeff - I'm borrowing some of this for a parody. Still a great read! Tribute to the awesome author will be paid in my parody.
Today's Classic du jour. Of the day.
