The Lyrics
It's that time of the year in Britain, when we get to watch 12 "ordinary people" do bugger all for 10 weeks, all in the name of entertainment...yay! NB: For non-Brits, The Sun is the UK's biggest selling tabloid.
Superficial,mind-eroding excrement Big Brother
Why is it that every year we have to have another?
Truly sick and tired of it, these folks I'd like to smother
Superficial, mind-eroding excrement Big Brother!
Dumb little-ittle-ittle dumb little spies
Dumb little-ittle-ittle dumb little spies
There used to be a special thing we called "celebrity"
Then came along a format called Reality TV
Now folks are gettin' famous for just sittin' round all day
And acting lame, it's just a game but I don't wanna play!
It's...
Superficial, mind-eroding excrement Big Brother
A take-away, some chardonnay, you watch it with your lover
Everybody's tuning in, your sister, dad and mother
Superficial, mind-eroding excrement Big Brother!
Dumb little-ittle-ittle dumb little spies
Dumb little-ittle-ittle dumb little spies
George Orwell must be spitting chips and turning in his grave
What is the point of sitting down and watching some guy shave?
The highlight of the week is when they set one loser free
I really think I need a drink or a lobotomy!
It's...
Superficial, voyeuristic, spawned that show "Survivor"
It has plumbed the very depths, quite like a deep sea diver
No more fun than watching Arn shagging Maria Shriver
Superficial, voyeuristic, made for 'bout a fiver!
Dumb little-ittle-ittle dumb little spies
Dumb little-ittle-ittle dumb little spies
Now ten long weeks have come and gone and I am feeling numb
And every single one of them has featured in The Sun
They're showing off their piercings to a hungry tabloid pack
It's very clear, like Cher's career, Big Brother will be back!
It's.......(wait for it..)
Superficial,mind-eroding excrement Big Brother
Why is it that every year we have to have another?
Truly sick and tired of it, these folks I'd like to smother

Couldn't agree more, Kristof
Excellent pacing, Kristof...and I, too, am anti-reality TV. I daresay, however...and this is just a suggestion...that you COULD...um...just...well...turnofftheTV...(it works for me)...555!
"Reality TV": The Great Oxymoron Of Western Salivazation, er, Civilization.
Thanks, Phil, Arwen and Johnny...and Arwen, I don't know what it's like in the US, but here in the UK just turning off the TV is not enough...BB is on every radio, newspaper, talk show..they've even debated it in Parliament! True to GO's prophesy...there's no escape..
This is great--nothing short of Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. I have a sendup of this in the queue, but it pales.
Amen! I really really hate Reality TV, and wish it would go away.
Well done, Kristof. I think we can all agree that reality TV is a perfect parody target, but somebody (presumably people who have had the lobotomies) must watch the shows or they would get cancelled.
Now *that*'s a parody.
i hav a question why weren't there any parodies yesterday? It was annoying!
Four years ago I spent a week with my parents and discovered that my mother watched every episode of the original! Eeek! :-P
I only watch 2 "Reality" shows---Survivor and Big Brother. It's stupid, I know, but I have limited it to 2, and no more than that. Good job on a tricky meter (flubbed it in the Arn & Maria Shriver line, but who cares).555:)
Thankyou guys! John B: I'm sure yours will be great! Can't wait... Ash: You're singin' to the choir, babe! John J: Three words: lowest common denominator Xander: *thanks* M-Dawg: I dunno; why are you asking me? :-) Merry: Divorce your mother...now! Ag: Yeah, it didn't quite get there, shoulda wrote "arnie shag" instead..cest la vie! ps..get counselling..2 is 2 too many!
funnny one...and add me to the list of people that hate reality shows
Here in Sweden the producing company of BB decided this year to use the same casting agency that our biggest mens magazines use. Says it all, doesn´t it?

I'm with Ashkicksass.
And I'm with Mr/Mrs Ellipsis (I think that's right) Great rhyming here and a subject we in Australia can relate to just as much with the looming finale of Oh Brother 5. I hear Survivor 10 will be out soon too, and Australian Idol 2 will completely ruin my birthday when it airs July 13. Whhyyyy? May I shamelessly plug my song Heapsofparodiesheremimicthisoverdoneopus, which I was stupid enough not to leave a comments board for? I was just wondering if it's stupid resubmitting it with a comments option. Once again, grat work here! 555
Thanks again! Alvin...duly noted, I'll invite you to the protest march. Know 1: It sure does! Ellipsis: We all are... Luke: As a fellow Aussie (although displaced) I'm sad to hear the lucky country has fallen into the trap as well..and I'll check yours out! Cheers!
I couldn't be bothered to watch it this year.
to Jake A Ralphing (Luke Brattoni): I'm male, and I'm single.
EXCELLENT!!!!!!! 5-5-5!
Ooooh, I could hook you up with a sexy friend of mine, her name is &%$!
Outstanding. Just to weigh in, I watch some reality shows (Survivor, American Idol) and ignore most of the others. Just like scripted shows, some are very well done while most of them suck. Loved the line about sitting down and watching some guy shave.
American " Telly-Excrement " ! 5,5,5 to honour you!
Well look at that, PP Longdroppings actually commented on a parody that had nothing to do with his favourite subject.
particularly well paced, the pacing's part of the parody's charm. I don't know where the arn shagging shriver came from but it's a visual I'll work hard to forget. Where's MIB when you need em?
