The Lyrics

now I'm a 2 week old, I look back on my first week with shame at my ignorance. mea culpas for not submitting a complete parody. thankyou for the kind helpful hints I received from all (esp. Paul R.) In good faith I have completed this (earlier submitted) parody so it matches the original, stanza for stanza, syllable for syllable - as God is my witness,I shall not stray again - (sorry again, ellipsis)


He's a metrosexual
a quasi-intellectual
a lifestyle oh so flexible
his six-pack is delectable

He is tanned, he is buffed, his Clooney hairstyle is coiffed
His dooner and his pillows are exquisitely fluffed
He used to be a big tough man, but now I find he's.....
he's a metrosexual

he's a metrosexual

His behaviour is contextual
his pick-up lines effectual
but even when they're SUC-cessful
he's C - A - R - E - F - U - L

his phones have ring-tones, for the news from Dow Jones
He only uses classic European colognes
He used to wear Brut 33, but now I find he's...
he's a metrosexual

he's a metrosexual

he's so clean
there's no telling where his stubble was
lean machine
car-bo-hydrates have to go

He's unavoidable, he's everywhere I look!
he likes to hunt and gather AND he likes to cook!
he cries at tender moments BUT he's not a sook
ONCE he used to LIKE MacDonalds, now I find he's...
he's a metrosexual

he's pristine
there's no smelling where his garbage goes
clos-et queen
likes his dinner and his show

his manner is inscrutable
his girlfriend oh so beautiful
they're careful with their "screw control"
he's not unlike a new Ken doll

He imbibes vintage wines - his demeanour's refined
His uptown pad is architectur-ally designed
He used to drink bourbon and coke, but now I find he's...
he's a metrosexual

eats his greens
keeps a close eye on his body weight
lean cuisine
it's the only way to go
wears sun-screens
that no UV rays can infiltrate
stuff unseen
he wants noone else to know

he's a metrosexual!

Outstanding parody. Have to refamiliarize myself with the OS to more fully appreciate it, but all the elements are there, and you've really captured the essence of metro -- at least my sense of it. Well done.

This has great rhyming to the OS, with lots of clever and hilarious lines . In other words, a typical top-notch Stuart special. Fantastic stuff, Stu!

(ABC-H) I'm completely lost here. What is a metrosexual?
Stuart McArthur - July 05, 2005 - Report this comment
thanks everybody

Scathe - he's that type of new milennium guy, who's in touch with his feminine side, and who (hopefully) fits the above description - the original, and the role-model for all metrosexuals, is David Beckham

(ABC) It's funnier now that I know what a metrosexual is.

How did I miss this beauty? Do you have the Chaser Annual (sort of the Aussie version of 'The Onion', I'm assuming). One of the articles is "Anti-Discrimination Board Upholds Vilification of Metrosexuals." Funny stuff. As was this, of course... great rhyming and hilariously done. 555

SOTM--Very well done, although it's causing me to look at myself in a new light (I guess a song is good when it helps you expand your horizons?) I fit quite a few of these things

At first I thought you said his six-pack was 'detachable' and that's about where you woulda lost me... Where was I? Great flow to this one, Stuart. And excellent rhyme scheme. I've no good excuse for not coming by sooner. Thanks for teaching me what that word means kinda.

Arwen - (I don't know how long this gag will continue to have legs but, here we go...)
in love with my subject-matter? well, that means you'd love this...

thanks 2nz - the word is in general usage in Australia, and I just thought it was internationally current

Luke - just that article's title is hilarious - now THAT is Aussie humour

thanks MG

thanks Jeff - you and me, brother! (btw metrosexuals say "brother" a lot)

Hey, did I give you good advice? When? How did that happen? Good thing you took it, whatever the hell it was...it seems to have brought you into full bloom as a writer...OH...DKTOS here, but an interesting read...I was lured in by Scathe's inquiry as to how to define a "metrosexual"...wanted to see what you said...OK...that was good, too...
Stuart McArthur - July 06, 2005 - Report this comment
actually thanks for the chance to correct that, Paul - I put your name down because you'd been so friendly to me in my first week as a newbie, so you were the name I remembered, but it was actually Phil Alexander who I meant to thank for the advice, as he was the one who advised me (without penalising me) that I had to complete the full parody to avoid being penalised - this parody (which completed an earlier shorter version) was the result of his advice - so BELATED THANKS, PHIL!
Paul Robinson - July 07, 2005 - Report this comment
Well, Stu, it's a pleasure to be properly dis-credited in this case. Anyway, it's really easy to get me and Phil mixed up(yeah, yeah..."Phil & I"...happy now, 'Grammar Police' or whatever you call yourself?)...he's the one from England and I'm not...he's the one who knows a lot about science and I'm not...he's the one who knows the proper usage of apostrophe's (?) and, as you can probably tell, I'm not...I think I'm quite a bit older, though...and when I first started posting on this site someone, I believe it was either Merry or Peregrin, noticed I had "short-sheeted" a verse on one of my postings...and I was forever grateful for the same bit of advice you appear to have received...they docked me a point for it, though...yeah, I've got a bad memory. Must be past my bed-time ~ ~ ~
Stuart McArthur - July 07, 2005 - Report this comment
well, you know what it's like, Paul - as a one-week-in newbie, every name I see is a new name, and yours and Phil's both started with P - my brain works slowly and only digests names one letter at a time, so that would explain my mix-up - and I recalled you'd been very welcoming on my second parody "At Thirty-Three"
Paul Robinson - July 08, 2005 - Report this comment
Yes, well not only do both names start with "P", but both first names are 4 letters (not to be confused with "4-letter words"...OR...maybe sometimes they are...), and both LAST names are 8 letters...this fits neatly into a gibberish theory - I love those...just remember, Phil=knowledge, science, logic, correct grammar usage - Paul=fast fingers and plentiful digressions/divergences of a rather lengthy and wordy sort, logic applied as deemed necessary, inability to retain basic usage rules for apostrophes...
