The Lyrics
I go a little batty, I'm a nutcase
Search the living room
I'm killing someone soon
Some call it petty, others call it lazy. But we all sing this tune:
Where's remote?
"Cause those remotes don't work a damned DVD
I'd see "Poison Ivy 2." Wouldn't you?
Oh, where's remote?
"Cause those remotes don't work a damned DVD
I'd see "Poison Ivy 2", without Drew
It's got to be here
It can't just disappear
Hey, maybe it tumbled behind me?
Sing, where's remote?
"Cause those remotes don't work a damned DVD
There's remote,
The spare remote. Let's see the damned DVD
To miss "Poison Ivy 2" wouldn't do
We'll see "Poison Ivy 2", without Drew
Search the living room
I'm killing someone soon
Some call it petty, others call it lazy. But we all sing this tune:
Where's remote?
"Cause those remotes don't work a damned DVD
I'd see "Poison Ivy 2." Wouldn't you?
Oh, where's remote?
"Cause those remotes don't work a damned DVD
I'd see "Poison Ivy 2", without Drew
It's got to be here
It can't just disappear
Hey, maybe it tumbled behind me?
Sing, where's remote?
"Cause those remotes don't work a damned DVD
There's remote,
The spare remote. Let's see the damned DVD
To miss "Poison Ivy 2" wouldn't do
We'll see "Poison Ivy 2", without Drew

fun to sing along with...5s
Unique idea..on a great old song, of a common problem
Cute!
I didn't know there was a "Poison Ivy 2". You'll be happy to know that I'll be keeping my eye out for it because of this (hey, baby's up at 3 in the morning, you never know what might be on tv). Your song has influenced me =)
Congrats. I'd been trying to figure out something to do with this but couldn't. 5s
Internet Movie Database confirms there is a "Poison Ivy 3."
Funny and clever work, Rick! 5s
Thanks to Alvin, AFW, Adagio, Jeff, John, Michael and Rod for your kind comments and votes.
Very good job with a difficult OS to parody. A lot of excellent substitutions, especially "tumbled" for "jumbled."
