Parody Written by:

The Lyrics
Of all the dubious things Madonna has done, what is the worst of the worst? Here's my nomination.......(listen to the OS which is temporarily here)
Madonna's always dancing
which isn't such a bad thing
compared to other bad things
in her...life
but IF you want the worst thing
(although that cupboard's bursting)
THIS should be the first thing you should try...
don't play Madonna's new songs
don't play Madonna's old songs
don't play Madonna's albums
play Madonna's movies
don't play the "Justify" song
don't play the U.S.Pie song
don't play the "Borderline" song
play Madonna's movies
Madonna's films are boring
a one-stop-shop for snoring
perfect for ignoring
yessirreee
tho Shanghai did Surprise me
I somehow sat through five scenes
but still dozed off to sleep eventu-leee
don't watch her tummy rippling
don't watch her tongueing Britney
don't watch Madonna stripping
watch Madonna's movies
(and th')
Lettermanshow-curse-fest
has there ever been a worse guest?
is there something even worse? - yes
play Madonna's movies
I just can't
I just can't
I just can't watch Madge on screen
I just can't
I just can't
I just can't watch one more scene
I just can't
I just can't
I just can't stay in my seat
I just can't
I just can't
I just can't control my feet
......cone tits
don't perv at her homegrown bits
don't play her overblown hits
play Madonna's movies
forget Madonna's odd display
of love for Dennis odmanRay
don't play Madonna's "Holiday"
play Madonna's movies
[ cut to crowd all moonwalking out of the cinema ]
Madonna once was groovy
tho' never in a movie
although it can be soothing
t'sleep through...it
they say that Warren Beatty
kinda liked her (maybe)
'til she wrecked Dick Tracy and he split
don't play Madonna's old hits
don't play Madonna's gold hits
don't play Madonna's film clips
play Madonna's movies
ignore her wildwest look
and any of her next looks
don't buy Madonna's "Sex" book
play Madonna's movies
Susan? (no)
Lola? (nope)
Papa? (nup)
MOVIES!!
(how about kab-)
balah? (nope)
England? (.......)
orphans? (mm-mm)
MOVIES!!
(or that thing with)
Esther? (nuh......)
boy-toy? (nuh.....)
Malawi? (nuh....)
MOVIES!!
(what-about-striking)
the pose? (nuh.....)
Sean Penn? (nuh......)
Penthouse? (nuh......)
MOVIES!!
Missus? (nuh.......)
Richie? (nuh.......)
Pepsi? (nuh.......)
MOVIES!!

Is it too early to be shouting SOTM contender? This is TOO funny...the first two verses hooked me (ALWAYS the sign of a good parody) and the rest reeled me in. Wunderbah! 555+
AWESOME job 555!
Neat. 555
Madonna can act????? Is she any better than Paris Hilton at least?
Interesting idea: parody about one washed-up popster set to the tune of another.
Immaculate Perception turned Perfect Parody... that's what you've accomplished here, Stuart!
Some tricky rhymes and very funny times, here
never seen one but i was happy to look at this
thanks Kristof - if only even one of her movies could do that...
thanks Jack and Susanna :-)
thanks Matthias - although I don't exactly say it, my intended message here is a pretty strong emphatic capitalised "NO" ;-)
thanks JAB, TJC, AFW (phew - just a few letters short of the whole alphabet there!)
me neither alvin - although I've seen the opening credits on a few - thanks mate

Perfect, Stu. I think I smell a SOTM contender, here.. hold on a sec, Kristof has already said that. Maybe he's right :-)
PS I have a recording of "I'm Sorry I Havent A Clue", in which the lyrics of this OS are sung to the tune of the Battle Hymn of the Republic - and I can never remember the original tune. So I sang most of this to the Battle Hymn - and it works just as well ;-)
thanks Phil - hmm with 2 such illustrious suggesters, how can I not take their advice?....and I just tried reading it to Battle Hymn (which I've parodied to within an inch of its life for a recent SOTM entry) and couldn't get it happening at all....(time lapse after an idea occurs).....ah, just tried it again with the chorus and it worked - neato!
Funny work throughout, Stu, but I LMAO at "odmanRay." I don't remember the movies Madonna has been in, so I suppose that reinforces your point that her acting is horrible and unmemorable. 555
thanks Jack - it can be bizarre where the hunt for a rhyme takes you, can't it...I needed 2 rhymes for Holiday, and from some twisted corner of the universe up it popped - and I don't know if it's her acting to blame, or the movies she chooses
Madonna's Music = Schedule I Controlled Substance.
Stuart's Parody = Schedule 555 Uncontrolled Hilarity.
Stuart's Parody = Schedule 555 Uncontrolled Hilarity.
thanks JD - but I think I'm missing a crucial Madonna reference with the "Schedule" thing - and I trawled right thru wikipedia too, dammit
No such reference exists, to my knowledge. What I wrote was spontaneous good-natured nonsense intended to praise your parody.
thanks again JD - with your (and JAB's and TJC's) comments there's often a deeper subtler gag to reward the thinking reader ;-)
And so it wahhh-uzzz
That lay-yay-yay-ter
In McArthur's comment-bag
Johnny placed his words that won't seem
Like a deeper ...
... subtler ga-a-ag!

(SOTM) I can't play your mp3 of this DKTOS, but that doesnt prevent me from saying that this was really funny and creative. Probably one of the best of this month.
(SOTM) DKTOS, but I found a YouTube video. Wow... clever idea, clever title sub. Some crazy lyrics here. TOS was actually kinda catchy, too bad Michael had to become a nutcase. 5's for your combination of the two biggest stars of the 1980s.
SOTM - Contenda
SOTM-Madonna, Madonna, Madonna, really caught her current position as far as lost status. . .It's going be tough picking my top 5, but this one gets bonus points from me for not being a Christmas one. . .Very cool.
SOTM - Some pop stars just can't make the transition to the big screen and that Madonna singlehandedly killed Pierce Brosnans Bond run by having scenes against him (noone could take him serious as Bond after that) may be the worst example. Yet! Now that Posh Beckham has moved to LA to pursue a movie career (apparently she hasen't watched Spice Girls The Movie herself) I fear that the two of them will be teamed up together, that'll do to Hollywood what the Japanese did to detroit! (And if Pauly Shore is cast for the male lead there will be hoofs of the Apocalypse heard in the sky). BTW: Great parody!
(SOTM) Now I'm going to have that song stuck in my head for the most part of Term 1. At least it's a good song, and an equally awesome parody!
(SOTM) See above, and a few notes: 1) You have probably made the perfect parody of this OS. 2) Johnny D's comment makes sense if you are familiar with how drugs are scheduled here in the US: Schedule 1 is stuff that is completely illegal due to having no accepted nor legitimate uses (sorta like Madonna's music, 'cept it makes good parody fodder =)) 3) .m4a file formats (what you provided) I believe are I-Tunes d/ls, and aren't (or used not to be) compatible with many older players.
(SOTM) Couldn't find the OS anywhere...but this was still a great, great read. I second the greatness of the "odmanRay" line.
thanks for pointing that out (about the itunes) Jack - and for confirming it Cat.....
but it's a good thing, because it made me hunt down and find the original fantastic film clip on youtube, with the then-fantastic Michael Jackson at his gyrating young still-black dude peak - check it out at

(SOTM) As I've already said before, this one feels like it should have a medal hanging around its neck. This is gonna be a tough month....:-(.
And what's REALLY nasty is that she has an heir-apparent in Bratney.---MM
(SOTM) But I kind of liked Dick Tracy... Maybe I should watch it again, just to be sure.
(SOTM) See above!
Ah.. so you entered this into SOTM... bugger.
;-)
;-)
(SOTM) See above
You officially know WAY more than me about Madonna. Good use of original, ingenius title sub, and great flow. I can't complain here.
SOTM - Great, now I'm going to have Spaff's "Esther Madge Veronica Louise Ciccone Ritchie" stuck in my head all day! >.<
That is so cute. 555 all the way!
(SOTY) Well, I'm a bit late getting to this. For that, I'm sorry, Stu but, thanks for all the laughs :-) 555
I heard she was pretty good in that bonus video that came with the Sex book.
Gotta tell ya, Stuart, you had me with the first verse. And then the "worst thing/cupboard's bursting" rhyme in the second. And then the innumerable killer rhymes throughout. You make it look easy, but it ain't. "Odd display/Holiday/odmanRay" don't come from no rhyming dictionary, folks.

(SOTY) Well, I already really made a comment on this that describes my opinion. . .
Ouch... It's going to be hard to compete with this... You're not like a virgin when it comes to talent, lemme tell yeh.
Now, a year and a half later, thanks to wonderful innovation of the 'net called Youtube, I have finally given this song a listen to that it deserves. And it has stolen the competition once again!
(Dec 2.2) Unlike Madge herself, time has been very kind to this parody. And I don't think she's made one since you posted this...maybe she got the message...wonderful stuff!
(Decathlon 2.0) See above! Still lovin' it!
(Dec2) "Madonna, Madonna, Madonna, really caught her current position as far as lost status. . .It's going be tough picking my top 5, but this one gets bonus points from me for not being a Christmas one. . .Very cool." to quote my earlier opinion
Lol, it would have been so hard to pick just one Madonna movie, so I'm glad you hit all of them =) Sorry I missed this the first time around!
See above!
DEC2- It's nice to see someone else really trash Madonna's movies. Very funny and well done, Stu.
Decathlon...I have to say...with no shame...that "Who's That Girl" is one of my all time favorite guilty pleasures. I hold my head high. =) You should hold yours high, too, Stu...this was great!
Wew, that's good, This parody can reach the top chart and this makes her more popular haha. But I like Madonna, bloody hot...
555 for General MacArthur who can aptly trash one of the ' two Michigan Muses' ! I could never see what this woman had in the way of talent ,and who would even spend a dollar on her????
STFU ALREADY YOU LAME ASS MADONNA HATER! LOOK IN THE MIRROR-YOU ARE LESS THAN THE SCUM OF THE EARTH
