Huey Lewis & the News

"Doin' It All For the Laughter"
Parody Written by:

The Lyrics
Number 700. The only way I could think to work that number into a song was to slam Pat Robertson ("The 700 Club"), and this should be an occasion to cheer up, not throw up. Those of you who want to do that tomorrow, after toasting me with multiple imbibings, feel free.
(instrumental opening)
Early in the morning
fall out of bed.
I open up
The Star-Ledger.
All the news stories
running through my head
and soon the lyrics
start to come together.
I do my best to give you songs you'll like forever.
Just get some practice, and soon you're getting better!
Doin' it all for the laughter
that's why I write each parody.
Doin' it all for the laughter
for all the laughs you've given me!
Later in the evening
it's been a rotten day.
I sit right down
in front of my computer.
Gotta get some laughing.
No Solitaire I play.
Write songs of Bush
and Arwen, who's much cuter.
I do my best to give you songs you'll like forever.
Just get some practice, and soon you're getting better!
Doin' it all for the laughter
that's why I write each parody.
Doin' it all for the laughter
for all the laughs you've given me!
(instrumental break)
Doin' it all for the laughter
that's why I write each parody.
Doin' it all for the laughter
for all the laughs you've given me!
Doin' it!
(Doin' it!)
Doin' it!
(Doin' it!)
Doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, yeah!
Doin' it!
(Doin' it!)
Doin' it!
(Doin' it!)
Doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, yeah!
(Doin' it all for the laughter!)
Doin' it all!
(Doin' it all for the laughter!)
Doin' it all!
(Doin' it all for the laughter!)
Doin' it all!

Huey & the News are coming here to New Brunswick, to the State Theatre on August 16. As far as I know, tickets are still available.
700 PARODIES!!!!!!! I feel so small.
Man! Why OH WHY am I not planning on being in New Brunswick on the 16th? I would TOTALLY make you take me out for a Huey filled night on the town...=(
