Song Parodies -> Screwdriver
| Original Song Title: | "Sledghammer" |
| Original Performer: | Peter Gabriel |
| Parody Song Title: | "Screwdriver" |
| Parody Written by: | Rick Duncan |
I find the lyrics of this original song very annoying. Peter rhymes "be" with "bee" and "be". I hope this is an improvement with a lesser tool.
You could have a door hinge
With a slightly loosened thread
You could need a metal/wood turning
Or a flat or Phillips head
All you do is use me
I’ll turn anything you see
You could use a vice gripper
Going round and round, all around the ends
You could use a pair o’ pliers, plying
As you know most metal bends
I want to be your screwdriver
So you don’t look so lame
Oh let me be your screwdriver
I will save your tools and money
Show me all your outlets
Cause I will be your pointy pal
Openin’ up your outlets
Just leave all of those buggers to me
I want to be your screwdriver
When you put up that frame
You better use a screwdriver
Cause I am the best
I’ll find the slot-a screwdriver
Make the job so easy, honey
I’m your screwdriver
Let there be no grout around it
Screw…screw….screwdriver
You tried to grab it
Shed some skin
Grip me more gently
Don’t go cramming in (don’t go cramming in)
Oh, just go slow for me (Slow for me)
I’ll heel and toe for you
Go gently, and it will go in true
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I love to screw
Just for you
Now it’s coming through
Gonna use arm power
Wield, wield, that arm power, hey
I’ve been mountin’ on plywood
When you use arm power, buildin’ true
Come on come on, help me screw
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, screw
I’ve been mounting on plywood
I’ve been mounting on plywood
It’s what I’m screwin, screwin’
And now it’s tight
With a slightly loosened thread
You could need a metal/wood turning
Or a flat or Phillips head
All you do is use me
I’ll turn anything you see

That sounds like fun.
nice bit of innuendo...i like the way you tooled around with the OS...always liked the video better than the song
Funny, I thought this would be about the mixed drink. "I wanna drink/ a screwdriver". Hmmm... Good job of matching the pace and rhyme scheme of the original.
I'm with alvin (and 'Phillips') on this one!
Fun stuff, Rick. I wanted to do "Makita 8444DWFE3-CL 18V MXT Combi Drill, Circular Saw & Torch Kit " to this OS, but it didn't quite scan. ;-) 55
So does this parody make a good pick-up line in bars...? ;-)
