a direct hit

A big hit - perhaps we need a Team America: World Police sequel as the first one didn't take care of him - dropping 5's on you for the parody.

Patriotic thanks to you Alvin & Tim!!!

Don't know the song, but this is an awesome parody! 5 neutron bombs, 5 warheads, and 5 RPGs for you, Mark Scotti! This parody is, to quote Nathan Explosion after Mustokrakish is defeated "Metal."

Thanks, DJ! The song was an "Eighties" hit for Tears For Fears. Comedian Dennis Miller used it for his theme song on his old show on HBO

Telling it like it is, entertainingly

I don't know this song, but I did like what you said in your parody.
Everyone seemed ok with the pacing and I could see that the rhyming was good. :) 5's

Very well written, well paced, Mark! Dropped 555 war bombs with this parody!

Scary. Too true to be funny, but that's good, too - social satire is among the best uses of the art. 555-kiloton hit here, Mark, and I think you have a good parody Korea ahead of you. (Sorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry!)

Mark Scotti - June 01, 2009 - Report this comment

Thanks, Tom(and for raising the bar with that idea about Korea....)

Mark Scotti - June 02, 2009 - Report this comment

To Turtle, just read that last Korea comment out loud, FUNNY!!!

Andria - June 02, 2009 - Report this comment

I'm thinking that it's just a matter of time before North Korea drops a uranium bomb on another country- probably the U.S. or South Korea. 5s for you.

One of the best parodies I've read for SOTM, I love this parody. Very clever, and great sub - 555!

This parody has been officially endorsed by the people of the state of North Korea. 5 cheers for Scotti!

SOTM: Best way to look at depressing news? Make a parody about it! very nice job!! 555

Mark Scotti - July 15, 2009 - Report this comment

Thanks, Abbott. It was a very cheery, upbeat song that, just as you said, made for great parody, especially on this VERY SCARY subject...

(SOTM) I am completely shocked that some of you DKTOS.oes anyone not remember those 10-10-210 commercials (I think it was) with John Stamos? This was funny in how scary and true it could be. I think Kim Jong-Il will be giving you fives any minute now. 555

Missle launch of thanks to you, Chris!

Matthias - July 29, 2009 - Report this comment

I love this original song, it's one of my favorites to sing in Karaoke Revolution... I'm not really a fan of political parodies, but generally I just can't get into them... But this was still a pretty fun read.

Mark Scotti - July 29, 2009 - Report this comment

Thanks, Matthias. The OS seem to really fit this situation...

bobpiecheese - July 30, 2009 - Report this comment

(SOTM) DKTOS (or any Tears For Fears songs outside of Shout and Mad World), and I know nothing about the Korean political situation. Sooo...I can't say anything here. Ah, well.

Thanks for the comment, anyway, bob!

Imagine being a parodist in NK - When the whole country's a farking joke...

Joke is absolutly right, Peter. Thanks!!

This one was kinda scary :) Fun OS, well written, a little simple on the comedy end, but very well written, and a good read Mark, keep it up.

Mean Aunt Cindy - July 31, 2009 - Report this comment

SOTM...didn't get many laughs out of this one. Well written, and I agree with the whole thing though.

Phil Alexander - July 31, 2009 - Report this comment

I'm feeling really picky... in that as I sang through this, I kept thinking "well, no, they don't really".. but the mental image of the "Team America" Kim Jong Il puppet saying to the rest of the world "I have nuke now.. all your base belong to us" kept me smiling through this

Mark Scotti - July 31, 2009 - Report this comment

Thanks to Dave, "Auntie", and Phil! Those NK's are a bunch of loons...

EmiLoca - July 31, 2009 - Report this comment

5's for truth. Great job making a favorite OS sound like a Kim Jong Il speech (or maybe that's not so great).

Mark Scotti - August 01, 2009 - Report this comment

Thanks, Emiloca!

Agrimorfee - September 09, 2010 - Report this comment

Another politically-charged parody...it doesn't really have much to say to me. I feel as though the OS was really saying the same thing quite succinctly.

(Artistry 80) See above comment! Nice to read/sing through this parody again. Yeah, NK will never be forgotten. 555's for modern warfare!

Okay, I'm going to expand my opinion since this time I had the TOS to listen along to. While as a read only--it is eh on comedy, but to the OS it actually is pretty funny. Why? Because you managed to turn so many of the original lines against the original song, while totally changing the meaning. My only real negative was pacing wasn't very tight, but this was a very good parody of a classic Tears for Fears song.
