| Parody Song Title: | "Platonic? (Mixed Signals)" |
| Parody Written by: | Arwen |
To all the men I've (actually not) loved before...
Eh yea-hey
Yeah hey hey hey yeah
My good friend...I'll call 'im Nate
He said "You gotta be...my work party date."
Wasn't black tie--so I said "Okay."
I'm his last chance girlfriend, he's NOT my soul mate
Our love is platonic
Least I think...
Soon as we arrived
Moved in FOR a kiss
When I met his boss
Called me his "Little Miss"
When he grabbed my ass
Had him talk to my fist
Then he said I send
Mixed signals
My attorney Dan...was a decent guy
We shared a CAB one day...I barely brushed his thigh-igh
I’sent him home TO his wife, that fate-ful night
She called at two A.M. and said
"My man you'd entice?"
I said, "No, it's platonic!
Least I think..."
The next day-ee-ay
Danny called my phone
Said "I'm fin'ly free
Where can we be a-lone?"
Said, "Go find your wife
Hope she'll let you come home!"
And he said I sent
Mixed signals
Some men have a funny way
Of thinking I want them when I say "How are you today?"
Or, "Hey Stan, have a goodni-ight."
Those men have a funny way
Of checking me out when
I swear there's no vibe at all
It's suddenly "Meet me at my pla-ace."
Well I met Sam...on a clumsy blind date
He gave eh-eh-eh-vry sign...that he thought I was great
I felt MY stomach swoon when he shared HIS butter knife
I thought "This is the man of my dreams."
Until HE called me LAT-er that night
"Hey, we could be platonic...don't you think?"
He wants to BE platonic???
I felt my face going pink
In my heh-ee-ead
Saw our wedding day
But I'm not a Bride
Just a game that he'd played
Now I've paid the price
'Cause my heart he did break
Oh why do men send...
Mixed signals?
Oh yeah, well men have a funny way—misreading me and you
And yeah, Love has a funny, funny way of striking me out
Striking me out
Yeah hey hey hey yeah
My good friend...I'll call 'im Nate
He said "You gotta be...my work party date."
Wasn't black tie--so I said "Okay."
I'm his last chance girlfriend, he's NOT my soul mate
Our love is platonic

Soon as we arrived

This one turned out very well! Lol at the title sub, I really liked that. Loved the ending :)
you're getting 5s from me for your witty commentary...i'm absolutely sure of it
Now that's a little too ironic, don't cha think...
lmao!
The ups and downs of an elven princess!
5s from me!
These fives are, I hope, sending maxed signals!
Well, isn't that interesting: The same day I come back with a vengeance, so does Arwen! Ah, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
(Ages 2) Really liked this one Arwen. You had a Guy DiRito way of parodying almost every word, while keeping everything clear and concise, not to mention rip-roaring funny. And this topic (realtionships) from you is like rednecks from me, only all too easy. Great job (once again) on this Dating Parody.
Jeff...glad you liked it. I thought you might appreciate it more than anyone else, after all. ; )
alvin...well, as long as you're sure...I'll be sure...thanks!
Matthias...totally.
Tomario...thanks very much! I'm still waiting at the edge of my seat for the parody you'd told me you were writing! ; )
TJC...and...they are. Good job. Thanks!
Michael...well Merry Christmas to you, MP. I love the fact that we apparently returned, triumphantly, together...=) Hopefully I can stick around for a bit...
Matthias...thanks a bunch. =)

Nobody does relationships like Arwen (I mean relationship parodies like Arwen...:)). I haven't read other entries yet, but I woulnd't be surprised if you 1st place this round.
Agri...thanks a bunch. I don't think that's going to happen. I think I've made myself an unpopular little Elf this Christmas. Or at least this contest...; ) And even if I haven't...I don't think I can compete with Emi's. =)
Thanks, though, for your vote of confidence.
Thanks, though, for your vote of confidence.
(Ages) Very well done. I can't read or give signals, so I'll make it very clear you got 555's.
(Ages) Funny funny funny and top notch rhyme matchings throughout. Great structure dynamic and everything... mind if I just give it 3's? It was okay,
(Ages) As expected, Arwen delivers a top-notch love parody. Interesting story, and very well doneit was, too. 555 for sure!
(ages) should be called "bloody typical!" excellent parody. and i havent forgotten your parody(s) here is a sneaky peeky ("your clumsyness astounds me!")
(Ages) *Dave Seville-style* ARRRR-WEN! How dare you pretend that this doesn't completely crap all over my entry. I was thinking about entering a parody to this tune before I copped out with the "One Week" card, but the best title-sub I could think of was "Electronic" about a robot boyfriend. You have a particular talent for incorporating amusing scenarios and ideas into your parodies without sacrificing the rhymes/pacing/general flow of the song. Here's three fives, a spot in my top three, and forgiveness for giving Luke license to further taunt me.
I love this, and it has such a great twist at the end. It's just so Ironic...er...platonic.
Way to be difficult. Man, this top five won't be easy. Great use of an original that deserved it.
(Ages) Very good job on a hardly parodied song. This one was out right hilarious.
