The Lyrics
I wrote this song under the Fair Dealing exception for the purpose of criticism and review enshrined in the Copyright, Designs, and Patents Act 1988. Because an EU Directive changed this from a defence against a charge of infringement to an absolute exception (subject to my meeting certain parameters), Disney can't touch me. Man, I love legal piracy!
Though Walt Disney is a star
Makes no difference who you are
One use of the Mouse and Disney will sue you
Your heart might be in your dreams
Passion for your art extreme
Yet they will all be destroyed when Disney sue
Fate is kind, but she has no power
Over those who tower
Above small pre-schools
You'll find yourself on the street
All because you had the cheek
To make something that drew Disney's eye to you
Makes no difference who you are
One use of the Mouse and Disney will sue you
Your heart might be in your dreams
Passion for your art extreme
Yet they will all be destroyed when Disney sue
Fate is kind, but she has no power
Over those who tower
Above small pre-schools
You'll find yourself on the street
All because you had the cheek
To make something that drew Disney's eye to you

Sheogorath - Jiminy Christmas! Mickey may be the Mouse, but the Disney organization often acts like rats.And now that Disney bought the rights to the Star Wars franchise from George Lucas, they'll have the additional power of the Dark Side of The Force.. ;D
One in the eye for Disney - that's gotta be worth a 555! They're swines to work for too; I had a friend who worked part of a summer on one of their cruise ships - the stories he told us...!
At the end of the day, it's just another business
555
