Parody Song Title:

"Don't Play The Sims"

Parody Written by:

Jason

Loosing too much social life playing the Sims...
You can play Pinball or even Solitaire
You can also play with Donkey Kong
Or you can play Half-Life and go and blow some limbs
Or even smack a ball about in Pong

You can fly a jet in Flight Unlimited
You can race around in GT2
Or buy a Playstation for even more Action
And Super Mario beats Sonic too

But don't play The Sims, Don't ever play The Sims
You might just lose your social life
And if you play The Sims, the silly silly Sims
You might just lose your pretty wife

You can get a game, if it is good or lame
Or you can play Nintendo Wii consoles
Or go and play PacMan if you're his biggest fan
or play Fifa Football and score a goal

You can get a gun, if it is just for fun
Or you can play Nintendo Wii consoles
Or buy a Playstation for even more Action
And Super Mario beats Sonic too
Ooo

But don't play The Sims, Don't ever play The Sims
You might just lose your social life
And if you play The Sims, the silly silly Sims
You might just lose your pretty wife
Ooo

Don't play The Sims, Don't ever play The Sims
You might just lose your pretty wife
Ooo

Don't play The Sims, Don't ever play The Sims
You might just lose your pretty wife
Ooo

How come? I'm a Simmer, and I really enjoy doing celebrity mashups in that game (Justin Timberlake, Kate Winslet, Shirley Temple to name a few). Nice idea, though.

What are The Sims, Jason? 5's
Jason - January 23, 2007 - Report this comment
To Lionel Mertens, think of the Sims as a computerised version of Big Brother, its where you design and build your own house, add your own people (the Sims themselves) and control how they interact round the house and themselves.

I sent you a comment but it didn't get through. I liked how you picked an annoying song for an annoying game.

Thanks to all your comments. Ann, try resending your comment.

(SOTM) It was pretty clever. Disappointed that you repeated lines from previous choruses instead of adding another...looks like your energy level ran down.
Jason - February 12, 2007 - Report this comment
Yea it did for some reason. Thanks anyway

(SOTM) nice little ditty
LPG-Unit - February 18, 2007 - Report this comment
Yeah, and to add to Lionel's question, you aren't really confined to just a house, especially if you have an expansion pack installed, such as Vacation or Hot Date...

(SOTM) You know, I think we pretty much all went through our SIMS stages. . .but I think this was my fav line "And Super Mario beats Sonic too" since sometimes people forget that the fat plumber came out and revolutioned games before that speedy hedgehog ever existed (not that I don't like Sonic, but respect for the Italian Character who started it all) . . .at any rate. . .good parody. . .and while I have been out of the SIMS world for quite some time, I still remember those days. . .long long long days . . .like they were yesterday.

SOTM - Sim of the Month? :-)

I was a bit disappointed by the lack of internal rhymes (I know in the OS some of them are pretty dodgy, but IMO that's a reason for making them better rather than leaving 'em out altogether). Maybe if I'd ever played Sims (which seems to me to be a bit too much like a virtual soap opera), I'd have more nice things to say about this...
(but on the bright side, you have given me an idea for this tune ;-) )
Jason - February 27, 2007 - Report this comment
What exactly do you mean Phil? To me I can't see anything wrong with the rhyming in this.
Stuart McArthur - February 27, 2007 - Report this comment
(SOTM) this was a great idea jason - my kids have already lost their "lives" to Sims - although admittedly no wives yet - and it would have been even better if you hadn't repeated choruses - but good job anyway - 555

(SOTM) Could be taken as an allegory for overindulgence in any escapist fantasy ... hidden wisdom here ... well done, Jason.

(SOTM) SIMply great! Loved everything except the repeated pieces.

SOTM - The Wii Sims is gonna be EVEN WORSE! But no, never play WOW... That will kill you
Red Ant - February 28, 2007 - Report this comment
(SOTM) I think Phil was talking about the first two verses rhyme-wise; the third and fourth were perfect (I'd forgotten that TOS has some really strained internal rhymes)... I've only played the original SimCity, but if you want a real time sink of a game try EQ, WoW, etc. This was an improvement over the original.
Phil Alexander - February 28, 2007 - Report this comment
Red Ant's right, Jason: the AABCCB rhyme scheme runs all the way through, not just the third and fourth verses; even though in the OS, if you were to look at a lyric sheet then rhyming "friends" with "been" is easily overlooked... but Billy-Ray does :grimace:

SOTM - I'm sadistic toward my Sims, they frequently end up dead. The ones I keep alive are funky robots and anthropomorphic animals and stuff.
Jason - February 28, 2007 - Report this comment
To Phil Alexander and Red Ant, I see what you mean about the rhyming. I'll bear this in mind for my next parody. Thanks for that.
