The Lyrics

Good morning, old chap. The sections in the song enclosed in parenthesis are spoken, and occur during sections of the original that are also spoken. I do hope you enjoy it.
I am the very model of a major anti-socialite
I've never seen the light of day in spite of how I'm very bright
I know the words on Frodo's ring and all the lines from 'Holy Grail'
I love to wear Hawaiian shirt to show off how my skin is pale
At nine I solved the Rubix Cube, that thing is such a child's toy
I did not have a date for prom, unless you count my gaming-boy
I never was a sportsman, though I sit around and master...
(Fishing)
(A Master Bait-er, you might say)
I'd gladly give my kingdom up if I could only get a date

(CHOIR)
He'd gladly give his kingdom up if he could only get a date
He'd gladly give his kingdom up if he could only get a date
He'd gladly give his kingdom up if he could only get a, get a date

I am very good at useless facts and I should be on Jeopardy
Who knows I might just be a dweeby Media Celebrity
But me in front of all those eyes, the pressure gives me such a fright
I am the very model of a major anti-socialite

(CHOIR)
But he in front of all those eyes, the pressure gives him such a fright
He is the very model of a major anti-socialite

I think I am the super hero in the stories that I view
But still I do not get the play that heroes in the movies do
I level up so easily in Everquest and D&D
But every time I speak to girls, they ask a credit card of me
My exploits are all legend and my methods I would gladly teach
But no one seems to care about my time spent saving Princess Peach
I'll tell you what I do with all the free time I have anyway
(almost everyday, ha ha)
I sit at my PC downloading new X-rated anime

(CHOIR)
He sits at his PC downloading new X-rated anime
He sits at his PC downloading new X-rated anime
He sits at his PC downloading new X-rated ani-anime

And I can write a story in the famous Klingon dialect
Good characters will never die because they all have 'resurrect'
But confidence won't let me speak, it doesn't matter how I write
I am the very model of a major anti-socialite

(CHOIR)
But confidence won't let him speak, it doesn't matter how he writes
He is the very model of a major anti-socialite

In fact the damsels that I save are fairy-tales, not really there
Most likely when I save them I am sitting in my underwear
I know of those who go out late, I'd like to party hard with them
But Mother doesn't like it when I stay out after 8 pm
I want to say, "Just go away!" to vent the anger in my head
But I don't want to cross the one who picks my clothes and makes my bed
In short, no matter how much all my questing has been glorified
(Oh ho glorified... glorified, snorified, horrified... ah ha, I have it)
I really have a problem when I scare off my mail order bride

(CHOIR)
He really has a problem when he scares off his mail order bride
He really has a problem when he scares off his mail order bride
He really has a problem when he scares off his mail order, order bride

All the movies and the gaming help me live my life so happily
A healthy 23-year-old and growing, wouldn't you agree?
But now the time is 9 o'clock, the time I go to bed at night
I am the very model of a major anti-socialite

(CHOIR)
But now the time is 9 o'clock, the time he goes to bed at night
He is the very model of a major anti-socialite

This was in some ways inspired by Rick Duncan's famous 'Media Celebrity', which was also a parody of the HMS Pinafor. Should he have a problem with me deliberately referencing his parody by using one of his rhymes without permission, I believe a duel is in order...

ROFLMAO!!! This is inspired genius..not a single dud line, you should be very proud! 777 (oops, can't do that) 555 :-)

No duel, I see the credits. And you caught the extra 2 syllables in the last line of the chorus. However, this is from "The Pirates of Penzance", not "Pinafore". Any G&S Phil and I can inspire on this site is a good thing.

This is a clever parody and surely it rates triple five

Thank you JD, Mari and Rick of the Duncan Duo, Sweet Indy and Kristof, you are too kind. Rick, I must say I'm a little disappointed. Just think: Two parodies of 'Modern Major-General' facing off against each other. Thanks for validating my theft so I can sleep at night.

Thanks for the pointer on my M-G parody, 2nz - this one's a great fun read...
"In fact the damsels that I save are fairy-tales, not really there
Most likely when I save them I am sitting in my underwear"
is inspired :-)

(SOTM) Hilarious! Great, great stuff. Love the bit about saving damsels in your underwear.

DKTOS, but liked the lyrics!

Not sure how I missed this when it first came out...but it's wonderful, 2nz! Clearly not autobiographical...you're the life of the party! 5s...
Adagio - July 11, 2004 - Report this comment
(SOTM) This is wonderful! All the lines are, esp. sitting in your underwear! 5's
EmiLoca - July 12, 2004 - Report this comment
(SOTM) This one was a tear-jerker...I was laughing that hard. I haven't read that much of your stuff, but if it's anything like this, you have a fan club. I mean, a fan. 5's.

This was great. Some fantastic lines in there.

Wow - another great G&S parody. Looks like I'm gonna hafta start listening to G&S stuff so I can better appreciate you, RAD, Philbo, and the others. Fortunately, lyrics like these stand on their own. I love it, Looney 2nz. Many great lines & rhymes.

(SOTM) Fribdabulous! The whole section regarding living at home with your mum had my nasal cavity frothing with suppressed laughter! (in a library, must be quiet) Truly worthy of a vote!

Whoops. Spoke too soon. Johnny D's right at the end of the list nudged you off. Sorry! I'll go curl up indoors somewhere and never come out.
John Jenkins - July 26, 2004 - Report this comment
A lot of good lines, including the underwear and 9 o'clock lines.

Call me lazy (OK, your LAZY!!!) but I'm just gonna give out a great big group hug to everyone who came out for the tournament, or because of the tournament, or because a little bird told them to. Thanks ever'body. Wow, I had no idea my underwear would go over so well. (Jar-Jar) Luke: No biggie, happy to be 4th.

Dorkdom should bow at thy feet. (I would have pegged the singer age "43", but it works).555

Still good, 2nz - another vote replaced :-)

I don't know how I missed this one the first time around. It must have been the night I was on my date. Anyway, in true Niles Crane fashion (he fits much of this song), I will overlook much of the greatness and fixate on one teensy little flaw: The person you're describing is not anti-social. He's unsocial. Anti-social would be if somebody tried to be social with him and he lashed out in anger. Or, to put it another way: Timmy Lupus was unsocial, John Rocker is anti-social.
