The Lyrics
This song is short on lyrics, but I love the original....
[3x]
Poor old me got hit by tree
I broke my spine, and now my arms are crushed
Cover me, I'm hollering
I snapped my spine, and yeah my arms are crushed
(Give us patience, hold your screams)
My legs are numb and, ow, it's time to give me some amphetamines
(Hand me these, and hurry please)
Makin' a cast to cover me
[sounds of moaning]

(Hand me these, and hurry please)

554, very good, but I would have loved to see at least 2 different verses.
Thanks, Stephen. I might redo this one with two extra stanzas.
Short, but sweet..555
Thanks, AFW :)
i also would've like to see some more verses but still great! also i surprised no ones parodied the obvious Orange Crush Soda connection =P
. . .. Here's a little Cabo-Wabo for your pain, Sir MacFeast !
Thanks, Josh and LCC... :)
I, too, love TOS (one of my favorite REM songs). I didn't realize this song repeated 3 times... it's been a while since I heard it. A bit of variation would make a great recording - the "Ooohs" after the verses are begging for a painful treatment! What is the "chant" between the 2nd and 3rd verses?
Thanks, Red :) Yeah, I may go back and write a longer version of this....
