The Lyrics
So...after I wrote that little tribute to Mister Robertson, I started kind of feeling bad...because...while I meant every word...there are those of you who have been here on this site...who I have loved...and who have loved me...for much longer...and so I thought I'd drop a few names here...to let you know how much I appreciate ALL of you...and just the site in general...=) (yeah...I had to go through the song 3 times before I was done...but you love me...so you'll read the whole thing, dammit!)
My name is Arwen
And I'd like a moment please
Just to lay out for you
Writers of my fave parodies
They take care of me at this site
So I'm at home here on Am-i-Right
Never cease to make me smile
Never cease to make me smile
Never cease to make me smile
I think that you all knew Johnny
Before you'd been here too long
He was the first one to praise me
He knows lots of words for Dong
His works will nearly make you cry
If you shock easily cover one eye
You'll be rolling on the floor
You'll be rolling on the floor
You'll be rolling on the floor
Want to buy on Ebay
Someone who knows why girls need men
2nz makes me smile, what can I say?
And he calls me sexy everyday
He honored me with my own week
I laugh at his songs 'til I can't speak
Why'd he go to Italy?
Why'd he go to Italy?
I wish he had taken me
(and again!)
And then there's Michael (P!)
Commenting's his fav'rite game
Prob'ly smarter than you
Not sure how to say his last name
He likes to ride on the left wing
Someday I'll make him love "Lord of the Rings"
Won't admit he thinks I'm cute
Won't admit he thinks I'm cute
But he does, so, it is moot
And I know an Ash who kicks ass
Up and coming on the scene
Don't think I've known a coo-ler lass
Gum in hair, she likes Caffeine
One day I think she'll be a star
She'll be a doll with a plastic car
We'll buy her likeness in a store
We'll buy her likeness in a store
We'll have her poster on our door
I can't forget to say
That EmiLoca makes me grin
Well, if you ask here's what I'll say
Her talent just blows me away
I can't believe she's just fifteen
When I die, she could be the Queen
She knows just how cool I am
She knows just how cool I am
She knows just how cool I am
(one more time)
Cookie-man's funny
Has to pee when traffic's bad
Love Hobbits one and two
As for me, I think they're both "Dads"
And there's this guy who makes me laugh
Name might be Nephi, but we call him Spaff
Glad he shares his skills with us
Glad he shares his skills with us
One day he'll have his own tour bus
Paul R. laughs because I'm clumsy
Stray Pooch sticks out in a crowd
Love the boys who stick up for me
Mean comments are not allowed!
My worst nightmare is on this site
He gabs with Frankie all day and night
I just can't follow anymore
I just can't follow anymore
She loves thugs; he hates Al Gore
That's all I want to say
Thank you for all the songs you've shared
I have to visit every day
It's bad for business, but what the hay?
I'm finally going to finish this
If your name's missing, please don't get pissed
That's how forgetful I am
That's how forgetful I am
But thank heaven for how cute I am...;)

Arwen I am absolutely floored!!! To even be mentioned by your greatness is SUCH an honor!!!! You are an incredible writer! Thanks bunches for the shout out too!!!! :) Keep up the good work!
Long Live The QUEEN!
COOKIE...you totally deserve said shout out...you're an excellent writer! And JOHNNY...I can honestly say that I wouldn't still be here if you hadn't been so nice to me when I was testing the AmiRight waters...=)
You forgot to mention a fellow shorty and clumsy one...moi. I liked it, anyway. :) Paul calls us the A-Team...hehe.
555 from me, despite the fact that you missed the best author on the site... ;-)
You guys!!! I knew this was going to happen. This is what I get for writing at freaking midnight! Ugh! Now I'm feeling like total sh*t!! I'm sorry!! You know I love you, Adagio...and Laurence, too!!!
Aww...that's ok...long as you read mine...:)
This is freakin' AWESOME! I too, am extremely flattered to get a shout out! Fabulous job, and LMAO!
I really do think you'll have your own action figure one day, Ashkicksass...you rock!!! Thanks!
Oh, Auntie 'Wen...you've outdone yourself. Only you could write an 11-parody-author tribute and still manage to keep it entertaining without becoming overbearing. Well...12 authors, I suppose, if you count all those times you complimented yourself...;-)
Emi...thanks a bunch, little one! Anyone who knows me well has to expect my self-praise...it's one of my most endearing qualities that allows/forces you all to love me so much...=)
Didn't you write another parody of this song, with the same parody title? Well, this one was good too; I must give you a perfect score on it. :)
Thanks so much, Serafina...and an A+ for your perception! This is actually my third Luka parody...one is called "My Name is Arwen," and it's from the POV of my alter ego in Middle Earth...one is called "A Subtle Plea," which is an ode to the "Ones Guy," and finally this one...which is like...3 "Luka" parodies all in one...so...yeah...I should move on, huh? ; ) Thanks!
DKTOS....but thanks for giving us a mention. As for "Dads" - well I keep telling everyone we're both males, but no one believes me! (Wonder why?) ;-D
Thanks for dropping by, Merry...I try not to think about it too much...when I was brand new, I just assumed you were guys...as your Middle Earthian counterparts are. The more aware I became of the "mystery," the more I knew I'd get an irreversible headache if I tried to figure it out. So...I stick to my original assumption...if only in the name of keepin' it simple for my simple brain...=)
I count 6 people who I mentioned...well, who I praised...(there are a couple that I mentioned that I didn't praise...if you catch my drift)...who have yet to stop in. I don't care if they don't want to vote...or if they think it sucks...but I still want them to know that I love them! (okay, but i really do want them to vote and tell me how fabulous i am...but only if they want to. but really...they should. um...okay...)
Come on, fellow members of The Arwen Air Conditioner Club! Why "Air Conditioner Club" instead of "Fan Club" ? Isn't it OBVIOUS? Tell 'em why, Arwen!
Um...because I do more than just blow cool air around...um...I also have the ability to alleviate dryness and create a moist and all around pleasant environment...for anyone who comes in the room? (um...if you're going for something else, Johnny, I'm going to be so embarrassed!)
Yeah ,I can imgine myself,standing over a reclining (and contented!) Arwen while gently waving a --air conditioner over her? No thanks! Let me use the fan that I always imagined myself using---that way we'll BOTH be contented! ( DKTOS,but I'm reading this as hard as I can! )
Nice tribute, Arwen!
Arwen is simply TOO COOL for a mere "FAN Club" ... !!
TTP...thanks for stopping by...and thanks, Melhi, too! Johnny...OH I GET IT!! I was reaching way too hard on that one...hehehe...thanks, buddy!
Saluti, Bella. Fantastico. I am honored and humbled, once again, by the sexiest elf I know. Ciao.
Holy sexy Italian talk, 2nz!! I knew a guy once who had lived for a couple of years in Italy...he could say ANYTHING to me in Italian, and I would melt. It could have been about the garbage...or about picking his nose...and I was just like, "You are the sexiest man on the planet." That, of course, was before I knew you....; ) Thanks for taking time out of your Roman Holiday to stop by...=)
Again, DKTOS (maybe I'm not worthy of this), but for mentioning me and not pointing out my flaws (it would then be as long as "Edmund Fitzgerald" -- and I mean the song, Johnny D!), you get fives. I, too, am so vain, that I probably think this song is about me... and me alone. (That's the problem: Me alone, and it's a long way to Wyoming -- not that it stopped Dick Cheney.)
Michael...so glad you finally stopped by! If I had known that you didn't know the song, I wouldn't have been so hard on you...but I wanted you to know that you were in it...so...thanks....=) And I did mention that one flaw I know about...(refusing to admit that you think I'm adorable...but...since I know you do...I guess I won't make you say it...; )...)
Well, it's about time I dragged my sorry ass over here. Thanx a bazillion for the tribute, Evenstar. I only vaguely remember the original, but flattery will get you fives. And I hope you're planning to spend some quality time on that bus.
Spaffy...in lieu of the embarrassing prospect that you're asking me to drive...I'd happily be your first and favorite groupie...um...always leaving room for the spirit and everything...; )
Hey, I have made a triumphant arrival to Am I Right. And by triumphant, I mean peeking around to see if anyone remembers me. I am sure you all missed me. *looks around* *crickets chirp* Well, anyways, I have done a lot of maturing, going over the crazy things I have sometimes said that make me smack myself in the head. Frankie and I are still corresponding, but instead we are corresponding over my Archie Comics Page, archiepage.us.tt, in the guestbook. Just like our conversations on Am I Right, they have nothing to do with the topic at hand. Glad to see there was a tribute of me. (By the way, I managed to find this while searching "your worst nightmare" in the site search. Yes, I know, I am a total loser.)
JMJ I'm a failure! A FAILURE! My life has no meaning! No love whatsoever! Just because this was done before I put my first lame parody on the site. :'o(
Dobbs...
My name is Arwen
Please don't be hard on yourself
Though I did not list you
Still want to be your fav'rite elf
If you are a devoted fan
And try to praise me whenever you can
I'll write songs for you one day
I'll write songs for you one day
But what's the deal with J-M-J?

Before Cross Eyed Girl =)
I want there to be a cross eyed emoticon! =)
Lucky you're so damn cute! I thought 'Luka' would have instantly inspired a string of ideas about me, but then I guess Chucky G doesn't stand for attack parodies... lovely work here, Arwen.
Luke...I thank my lucky stars EVERY day that I am so cute. And this MIGHT have been devoted to you if I'd known you back in the day...=) Keep lovin' me...your day will come...; )
*keeps up the lovin'*
Boy, I'm gettin' tired here.
Boy, I'm gettin' tired here.
LOL!
We need to see a recording of this. And some pix of you ASAP. 555
Great one, Arwen. Unfortunately, I'll have to see photographic evidence of your purported cuteness, since I am definitely cute and could possibly be comparable. ;-) I might have to try my hand at something like this myself, at the risk of being called a narcissist.
Lady Arwen, this is great ! ! Loved every line ! PS: never would've guessed that JohnnyD speaks "dong" . . . . very funny line here in NorCAL !
