The Lyrics
Imagine planning a dream vacation and everything suddenly goes wrong. Misplaced bags, flight delays, heavy traffic…even worse, missing your flight!
(Shuffling Intro…Followed by Electronic Pop)
I Need A Holiday!
(I)
I booked a new flight
It’s the only one that’s open, at half price
Need a vacation, badly, to unwind
(Why?)
Why do I bother with road trips that take a mile?
(Ooh…ooh…ooh….ooh…ooh)
It would take awhile
Ready to fly
But didn’t get in time
I missed my flight
Out on the runway, plane had flown a long way
I missed my flight
That plane had passed me by, how can I fly?
Travel agent screwed me up
Should’ve known their deal’s too good to be true
Informed me, misconstrued
(Instrumental Break)
(I’m)
In such a bad mood
After working hard to get there by this far
How could I have known, times were wrong in sight
Under this real gloom, forced to wait for the next flight
(Ooh… ooh… ooh… ooh… ooh)
Might take a lifetime
I missed my flight
Oh watch me rant and rile
I missed my flight
Raving and ranting
At misunderstanding
No other flight
Won’t get by right on time
Can’t wait for flight
Dream vacation’s real screwed up
Not boarding to a flight where I belong
How did this all go wrong?
Oh, oh no!
(Larger Instrumental Break)
I missed my flight
Stranded on this airline
I plan to sue airlines and travel agents
For misinformation
I missed my flight
By that time it arrives
I’m there by night
Wasted my entire day
My next flight had arrived by 9 at night
I missed my flight, maybe I should hitchhike
Hours passed me by
I missed my flight, it made me whine and cry and fight
I'll catch a ride, I'll take a hike
No more I'll fly
Won't take another flight, best off to drive
I Need A Holiday!
(I)
I booked a new flight
It’s the only one that’s open, at half price

Good and descriptive parody of a frustrating situation
Thankfully I've never been there. I'm late for a lot of things but never for an airplane because that would really suck. Hopefully this one wasn't inspired by true events.
Another good true-to-life parody!
fun and nightmarish at the same time
(AofA) I'm so paranoid about being late to things that I always arrive super early. If I'm not early, chances are that I probably won't show up at all. Probably because I forgot about it. That's just me though. Awesome parody!
My life, only with buses. 555
Wow, I never realized how horrible the OS is haha. You did a great job with this one!
Very late thanks lots, everybody! :)
AFW- Another enjoyable comment from you. And yes, very frustrating this situation. Glad you enjoyed.
Matthias - I'm afraid some may be inspired by true events and it's also good that you don't miss your flight. I've missed quite a few myself.
Porfle - Glad you enjoyed and some true life situation included as you mentioned. Thanks for commenting.
Alvin - How very true. I would hate to miss my flight. I try my best to describe each topic relating to the situation.
Blaydeman - I sure can relate to your situation. Punctuality really runs in our family. We're pretty organized so we always get on time and on top of things. Glad you enjoyed my parody.
SamMaster - Buses...yes, a real pain. Buses are pretty easy to miss. There's one time I got on the wrong bus.
Abbott - It's true, not everybody is a fan of this OS. To tell the truth, this wasn't my best choice at first. The OS, even how horrible it sounds, sounds better when spoofed. And glad you enjoyed my parody.

AGES...haha...missing my flight is a major fear of mine, so I make sure to get to the airport WAY in advance. Most of the time the gate agents think I'm kind of a loon...but better safe than sorry! :)
(Ages) I think the only thing more irritating than missed a flight is getting the flight but your luggage missed it. It certainly gave some of my fave comedians some great material. Anyway, great parody here, Christie, even if I've never missed a flight myself (buses, on the other hand...) 555!
Thanks to Arwen and bobpie/T-COP! :)
Arwen - Yes, it's a lot better to be safe than sorry, especially when trying to catch your flight, and same with waiting for buses at bus stations. Funny you should mention, I got off in the middle of Newark NJ at the light rail train and had to be transferred to a bus taking me to the Penn Station, which made me 15 minutes late for work, so I have to plan that in advance as well. I wouldn't care if anybody thought I was a loon, as long as I get on time. Great concept.
bobpie/T-COP - A missing luggage is the worst. We flew to California 3 years ago and 2 of our luggages were missing and ended up in Canada! Aaargh! Those were our only clothes and because of that, we had to borrow some of our relative's clothes. And speaking of buses, I got on the wrong bus one time when I was in college. Had to walk all the way to college, making me late for my classes. It's also nice to see it gave some of your fave comedians great material, whoever they are. Glad you enjoyed.

(AofA) Missing a flight would SUCK! Good job!
Thanks lots, D-Mon! :)...Yes, been missing buses and missed a flight only one time and believe me, and boy, DOES IT SUCK! As I told bobpie, another worse thing on missing flights are missing bags after the flight and ending up in the wrong location, like our luggage accidentally ended up in Canada while me and the fam flew to California for my niece's wedding. Thanks again for commenting and glad you enjoyed.
