The Lyrics
Stunt Guy…
Stunt Guy…
Well, I want to earn my fame in these action flicks
So out windows I trip and land on a mattress
If your film needs some thrills, but you’re a wimp
Then just call me up, although I have a limp
My job rocks! I’m wrestling these 2-ton crocks
And when my body’s chalked they’ve got more in stock
And I don’t mean to brag, but I’m raising a toast
Because so far so good, I’m not a ghost
I’ll get shot with a gun, roll out of cars
I’ll get flattened by bricks, each time I get more scars
Bitten by piranhas (Munched on my toe)
Get put into a cannon and then I’ll be thrown
Get my mother nervous, she’ll have a deceased son
But this is just fun and it’s not high treason
Sword wounds if the scene is in Troy
On speed dial is my doctor
Because I’m working as a Stunt Guy, baby
My eyebrows are burnt black if that fire’s blazing
Stunt Guy, baby
Cash I’m making with a black eye
I’m working as a Stunt Guy, baby
Not scared of heights or a broken leg
Stunt Guy, baby
In an oilrig I might just get sprayed
Right when I’m hearing “Action!” I’ll be blown to bits
It goes (KABOOM!) Under rubble I’m pinned
Sprained arm, sprained leg, sprained every-damn-thing
Was full of health, but now it just stings
Attacked by bees or cobra bites
Drink it off at the bar with some Miller Lite
I’ll be back next night, that’s how I make my pay, boy
In all kinds of killer pain while I’m working
Stunt Guy, baby
Got an aching back from these bullets dodging
Stunt Guy, baby
Sports car speeding over ramps and fire!
I’m working as a Stunt Guy, baby
I’m now on a flight for the skydive scene!
Stunt Guy, baby
Bones break like a twig, I snapped twelve today!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!
Stunt Man
Fighting a T-Rex
You think this job isn’t hard? Well, you’d break your necks
Doing barrel rolls in jets can’t be surpassed
Or just whacked with a stick in the movie “Jackass”
Surviving, I’m diving although the water has froze
You might think I’m nuts, I’ve got guts, you say “Cut!” and I’ll go
If I’m playing a sheriff, I’ll get shot out right
And need to play dead, till the main actor’s time, HUH!!!
I’m famous, no big ignoramus!
Our flick’s an instant “Must See” for the movie theaters!
Those film teachers grab the bleachers
They study our scenes from the motion picture!
Director’s going to call up me… Because I can outlast almost anything!
I’ll do it with glee, take this role as a whaler
I’ll be soaked in the ocean, while you nap in your trailer!
Star with Liv Tyler… Lord of the Rings!
With one ring to rule them (Arrows sting!)
I do it for money, I just want my paycheck
I don’t give a crap if it’s “Star Wars” or “Star Trek!”
Stunt Guy!
By gorillas smacked any my cheek is stinging
Stunt Guy!
In the Tarzan film, I’m swinging vine to vine
Stunt Guy!
My clothes ignited they’re full of flames
Stunt Guy!
I am not that big but I’m not in pain
Stunt Guy!
On a NASCAR track my car will be crashing
Stunt Guy!
Got some more medical fines
Stunt Guy!
Dodge throwing knives that fly away
Stunt Guy!
I just burnt my wig the Michael Jackson way
Stunt Guy!
Hit by a Mack Truck right into the pavement
Stunt Guy!
Dishwashers attack like in “Home Improvement”
STUNT GUY!!!!!!!

Very good stuff. I liked it.
Nice job, I can personally attest to how tough this song was to do :)
Great rhyming job.
Please refer to commentary on ~Bourbon Cowboy~ . . . CowboyDave was a real cowboy, who became a member of Hollywood Stuntman's Association; we hear he's just a Movie stand-in now, doubles for NickNolte, Kevin Costner, SeanPenn, Chris Walken.
wow, sounds like maybe you WERE a stuntman at one stage Matthias - inpressive detail, esp. "On speed dial is my doctor" and I'm thinking though that after being attacked by piranhas, Miller Lite's not gonna help the situation - 555
TKTOS but this paints a painfully funny and vivid picture of a rather odd way to make a living! I suppose if you're a masochist, this is a good way to channel your "interests"...
SOTM(NOV)
Stunning! A fine write here Mattias. Although DKTOS - I caught the OS on Youtube. You paced very well. and a right amount of humor was injected.

(SOTM) You pulled off a good stunt here. See "Hooper", "The Stuntman" and "Death Proof" for much more on the subject.
(SOTM) You know I like the OS, deceased son was a great sub for reason. Lots of good lines. Very well done for a tough song.
Excellent use of the song, Matt. Slapstick again. I'd like to see this recorded, with a high-production video and everything. I liked the first stanza and the last stanza the most, especially 'whaler/trailer' and the LOTR and Star Stuffs references. Great work.
Great work
As the opening stunt for the entire SOTM I'd say this was a really good cliffhanger, though for some reason I suspect it's the parody most far away from your real life you've ever written, he-he. Favorite line "sprained arm, sprained leg, sprained every-damn-thing" and the Star Wars/Trek non-discrimination.
I had a little trouble with line lengths as I listened to the video, but it generally went slightly short as opposed to slightly long which is much less likely to mess up a recording. But this was very cleverly written song and an interesting perspective from a character who never quits in a position where anyone else wouldn't be physically able to continue.
(SOTM) Great work on such a difficult OS (I speak from experience). Interesting topic, but you handled it well. Here's a check for $555
(SOTM) the trucks, the piranhas, and the gorillas wouldn't bother me but those dishwashers can be mean bastards - action-packed writing Matty, and see above
(SOTM) A few pacing clips here, but still works overall. Interesting idea and great job with the rhyme scheme.
(ABC05S)
This has the makings of an instunt classic - also see comment above.

SquireMatthias, I'll always love a 'Stunned' man !! Oh, CowboyDave . . .
(ABC5) See above!
ABC5(S) Great concept and execution...Lots of matching rhymes, which I always appreciate!!!...555!!!
Another hard rap OS done and done! 555
(ABC) see above - twice - some funny lines Matty and great pacing throughout
ABC- Nice title change! Very creative stuff! 555
Fave line was near the end: "I don’t give a crap if it’s “Star Wars” or “Star Trek!”". Light , cameras, actions, 5s, cut, that's a rap.
(ABC) Not bad, not bad. I thought some of your pacing was ragged (I'm not sure), but I got a few good laughs. 4-5-5 and a trip to the emergency room!
Still the same opinion. I love a lot of the lines Matty, just that I had some trouble following the pacing in spots--still would work methinks as a recording, just the pacing blips...
