My apologies to the other Annie if reuse of the name offends him/her.
My name is Leno
I’m a late night talk show host
I have some crazy fans
Prob’ly have seen some of their posts
They watch too much TV at night
And speculate on my future plight
Think they need a few more meds
Think they need a few more meds
Think they need a few more meds
I think they’re tad obsessive
Frankly they all frighten me
I mean, I know I’m impressive
But really man can’t you see
If only they took some more time
To make random verses rhyme
Listen to Agrimorfee
Has a point, Agrimorfee
Listen to Agrimorfee
I don’t think they’re okay
When they write about my chin
Pretty sure there is no way
Their musical hits ol’ Broadway
Oh won’t you please leave me alone
Oh please god just throw me a bone
Get these wackos off the site

I can't improve on that - they do sound obsessed.
I'm flattered, and enjoyed it greatly. Must have been working Late Night to get this one done.
Heh, heh, heh... Good job speaking the truth! (And I know who you are, nah nah nah nah nah-nah!!!)
2Eagle - Obsessed? Says the one with how many Smelly Cat parodies? (just kidding!)
TOA - Didn't take long. For some reason, this one just flowed out of me.
Matthias - But do you really? :-)

5s simply because this needed to be said and to counterbalance the 1s you will probably get from DM for trying to 'usurp his thunder'.
Hmph. We are much better parodists than you and besides....you're not the real Jay Leno at alll.....You're Robbie Rotten from Lazytown in disguise. You only get 1's from us. We are not the wackos here- you are! You're so wacky you make Jack Nicholson seem sane by comparision. You will be hearing from our lawyer.
Oh please...You are so not Jay Leno- you're more rotten than me- and I'm Robbie Rotten! If anyone has the right to be Jay it should be me- I even have the same chin! I'm a comedic genius and the actor who plays me is the Icelandic Jim Carrey!
Alright. Who are you and what have you done with the real Jay Leno? And I want the truth, and nothing but the truth. You are obviously not the real Jay but some criminal mastermind in some Latex Perfection-like disguise. Which means the real Jay must have been kidnapped. So tell me.....Where is the real Jay Leno and what have you done with him? And i want the truth.
This song is preposterous! Jay would never say anything like that about anyone! You Annie, do the worst Jay impersonation ever! And furthermore....We are not completely obssessed with him....if you want someone who's completely and utterly obssessed about Jay just so you can make fun of them- I suggest you go find Glozell- she's the ultimate Lenofreak! Leave us alone. We're sick of people like you trying to put us down like that. This song deserves to be destroyed and so do you! Your song is rude, vile, disgusting and an insult to all that is music based. Youshould be ashamed of yourself. And any other thing I AM NOT CRAZY I'M ECCENTRIC........ECCENTRIC! I am an Eccentric Mad Scientist type! And for your information me and my brother hardly ever have time to watch tv due to the fact we work so hard every single day and night that we haven't slept in days and fyi we do not require meds to remain sane thank you- we keep our sanity. Sheesh. I get no respect, no respect at all. I'm treated like a doormat by you lot. I'm sick of being everybody's butt monkey! And i'm sick of being mistreated. It's people like you that give the internet a bad name. You want the truth? You can't handle the truth!
Oh good lord. Yes, nothing convinces people that you are sane like screaming I AM NOT CRAZY!
I think there is a case of schizophrenia running rampant on this site.
BTW, 555.
Pardon me but If I may interrupt....you Agrimorfee are obviously quite the evil genius like myself- I see you have learned how to clone yourself, good...very good, but I am much better....I have with me a doomsday device- and if anyone of you tries to foil my brilliant plan to take over the world i'll turn on my doomsday device and destroy the town you live in. But however if you were to let me take over the site and use it to brainwash people so I can take over the world then I'm sure we can work something out. It's your choice- either you hand over the site to me or your hometown goes kaboom!
Wow. . .um. . .it's amazing what a little Michael Jackson name can stir up around here.
Actually that name is the line "Annie are you okay" from Smooth Criminal performed by Michael but then covered by Alien Ant Farm. And whoever you are If you're really Jay Leno then answer these questions. Question 1: What is the name of Jay's cat? Question 2: What date is Jay's birthday? Question 3: How many cars and motorcycles does Jay have in his collection? Question 4: Who was Jay's bandleader before Kevin Eubanks? Question 5: How many years has the tonight show been going on? And finally question 6: What is Jay's favourite food?
Aaaw...Poor Annie, she's so confused and she probably wants to find a way home. Luckily, I the master of Oz, am here to help. Here Annie- take these special boots. (Hands Annie a pair of gold boots) Put the boots on. All you have to do is click them together and say "There is no place like home" 10 times. You should be able to get there safely. It feels good to help people. I gave Agrimorfee a new heart and I gave both Dr Music and his brother courage and now i've given you a way home. You should be very grateful.
AAYO, I have to say that your song was a nice effort but i'm afraid it was a bit off. Allow me to correct you there. For starters- we are NOT obssessed with Jay in anyway, nor are we worried about his future, second we are NOT crazy, third Jay would NEVER say anything like that simply because he would have never heard of this site, fourth you are the worst entertaining since St.Paul the evangelist toured Palestine with his trampoline act and fifth...naming yourself after a line from a Michael Jackson song was a terrible idea. Face it, you're just another wannabe in the big bad world trying to be better than everyone else. And your Jay impersonation is terrible! I'm sorry, but you fail at this site forever. Please rewrite this song but try to be more accurate and don't make fun of me and my brother ever again. I'm sorry, but you only get 1-3-1 from us and a grade of quadruple F+. To put it simply....You stink, try harder.
I have to be honest with you Annie. This song was good but a tad too creepy. Your portrayal of Jay Leno had more of a Michael Jackson vibe to it then anything and in some parts you also made him across as too much like Heath Ledger's Joker with quite a lot of Sweeney Todd thrown in. No offense, but that song seriously creeped us out with that song. It sounded more like something by Alice Cooper then anything we've ever read, seen or heard. You only get a 3-5-4 from us, maybe if you rewrote and made it less creepy then maybe we would like it more. It was grade a+ Nightmare Fuel. Nice try though.I'm not slamming you i'm just being honest. Perhaps if you studied the part a little better this song would have been better. No offense.
Is the person in the song supposed to me or some sort of horror movie monster/killer? Because I've read this song and I have to say that you have me all wrong- I would never want my fans to leave me alone- and I would never act all depressed and full of angst like that ever, in fact...the way you have me portrayed is all wrong- it's like instead of portraying me properly you're channeling Heath Ledger's version of the Joker. I'm afraid i'm only giving you 1's. Maybe if you studied up on me a bit more you would have done a better job. Please do not take it personally. I think you stayed up watching too many horror movies. Yours sincerly Jay Leno.
I agree with Jay. Annie, this song is a little too dark to be about Jay Leno. Your portrayal of Jay has too many paralells with the older Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith, the things he says such as "Think they need a few more meds", "Frankly they all frighten me" , or "Oh won’t you please leave me alone" are too depressing and almost like something Michael Jackson would say to his fans if he was depressed or fed up (it also probably doesn't help that you actually named yourself after a line from one of his songs), and also they are too much like something Alice Cooper would have in one of his songs, and also it also was too many similarities to Heath Ledger's Joker. It also is too gloomy and like something Tim Burton would do, it's a little too much like Tim Burton's short film Vincent and your portryayal of Jay comes across as more of one of those lonely misfit outstander characters from one of Tim's movies. It's a little too creepy and quite frankly not the kind of thing Jay Leno himself would say or do. I'm sorry, but i'm only giving you 3- and this is because this song came across as too much like a horror novel that gets made into a b-grade low budget movie that doesn't do well on it's opening weekend because nobody buys tickets to see it and then gets closed down for a few weeks afterwards, then gets spoofed on SNL or MadTV, and then after that becomes a Jay Leno monologue joke, and then later becomes one of those movies that Mike and the bots watch and mock all the time on Mystery Science Theater 3000. Annie, next time you decide to write a song about Jay- actually DO the research before doing it. You didn't do the research and as such your so called Jay Leno song turned out to be more of a Tim Burtonesque tale of horror and your portrayal of Jay turned out to be too much of a depressed loner outcast. You obviously stayed up late night watching way too many Tim Burton movies or something similar. I'm sorry Annie, but this song has more of a horror movie vibe to it than anything. Please do not take any of it personally. However, if you sent this to Tim Burton i'm sure he would love it. Keep trying Annie. If you feel hurt by what i've said here, just accept the mistake you have done and move on.
Annie. I'm appauled. How could do this to poor Jay Leno? How could write such scary things about him? For shame. You've just made me cry Annie, I hope you're happy.
Annie. Nice try- i'm sorry. You were absolutely dreadful. I don't think that you're right for this site. If you want to cry about it do it else where.
Great song Annie, it was good old fashioned Nightmare Fuel. You manage to turn lovable Jay Leno into a creepy sociapathic loner. This song would make a great Tim Burton movie-I can see it now, a dark Edward Scissorhands type loner version of Jay- in a dark Edward Gory-like landscape, walking all alone with no one around. It's so deliciously dark. You Annie, have some potiential as a horror writer.
Annie. Your song was great but it needed heart. I'm here to help you. Whenever you need me Annie, all you need to do is cry out for me and i'll be there to assist in anyway I can. I care about you Annie and I don't want you to end up on the wrong track. Be strong and listen to your heart. Love from your guardian angel, John Candy.
Hope you don't mind Annie but we're using the yoda translator to translate the words from your parody into Yoda speak. And i'm afraid that most of the words borderline more on the dark side of the force rather than the light side- so basically with words like those it kind of means that you're more of a sith than a Jedi.
(ala Yoda) Nice try, this was. Try harder, you must.
Annie dear, I liked it. But I feel that it needed more bite to it. It's quite dark but not dark enough. Rewrite but make it better and darker- also portray Jay more accurately and get rid of those lines about Dr Music and Agrimorfee.
Annie. Your song was so wonderfully dark and Tim Burton-esque and the way you made Jay come across as a creepy sociapathic loner was brilliant. It was exactly like a Tim Burton mobie. It was so dark, creepy and mysterious. One problem with that though- I don't see why you had to have Dr Music as the villain in it, I mean he's not well particularly evil. Also another thing I don't get as why you had to had Agrimorfee in it- I mean he didn't have any decent lines or anything and only appeared for 10 seconds. And I don't get the whole entire song in general even though it's supposed to be weird. Your song has many things in common with Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden, 1. They're both dark and depressing. 2. They're both creepy. And 3. Both are reminicent of a Tim Burton film. You obviously must been inspired by the work of Tim Burton to write a song this dark. As a song I rate it 2-4-5 but as a gothic Tim Burtonesque movie I give it 555. Annie, your quirky gothic sense of humour reminds me of Lydia Deetz from BeetleJuice and the way you have Leno portrayed in the song reminds me of Sweeney Todd and Heath Ledger's performance as Joker in The Dark Knight. It's very dark, angst and Burtonesque, I applaud you for that.
