The Lyrics
Doesn't everyone here feel this way... secretly? *Everyone* here has just a *touch* of ego... 'cept for TT, of cough... cough... coughdontmisstheouttrocommentcough... OS lyrics here.
Though few completely understand me
The fault is theirs; I'm never wrong
They lack my brains and education
I'm far above the common throng
In my head, I store
Parodic lore
Of all eternity
That's the wonder...
The wonder of me
And yes, my style's a little brighter
The world of words is my play-thing
My pacing's just a little tighter
My songs are easier to sing
My puns are recondite
Profound insight
Arcane analogy
That's the wonder...
The wonder of me
(instrumental consisting of loud chest-thumping)
My work is paramount
No others count
On this, we all agree
That's the wonder...
The wonder of me!
If you've read this far, you get to read the admission that this is really a self-parody of how I come off on rare occasions... well, OK, "sometimes".... well, actually, much of the time... well..... © 2007 Tommy Turtle. All rights reserved.

i really would believe you were the best if i didn't know in my heart it was me
I know for a fact that I'm not.
I agree...this is definitely the best parody of this song you've done
alvin, John Barry, AFW, thanks.
I was wondering when you were going to write a tribute to yourself. :-)
Best parody ever about that Windows OS... or am I missing something here?
"Parodic Lore" eh? I really enjoyed this one. . .I don't think I've read too many self tributes, I tend to stick to self depreciation---but very very funny
Just kidding... very funny stuff... with more than a nugget of truth per line...and since it's copyrighted, does this particular parody qualify as 'self-abrandizement'?
Rex: lol! thanks :)
TJC: No, that was "Newcomputercamewithwindowsxphowatrocious" "http://www.amiright.com/parody/60s/julieandrewsmarypoppins14.shtml , but good joke.... and also on "brand"... thanks T.
Below Average Dave (badave.com): thanks... as per outtro that no one ever reads, it's self-depreciation by satire... but thanks :)

you really are the best at self-deprecation by satire that I've seen in these parts TT (except for me of course) - and what do you mean no others count? watch this:1,2,3,4,555
Reminds me a bit of this one: http://www.amiright.com/parody/90s/disney1.shtml (which is, IMO, about as good a compliment as you'll get :-) )
PS Security code: STP??? What is Chucky on?

stuart mcarthur, I stand corrected... that was a fine job of counting, Sir (and a funny and clever one! lol) thanks, stu :)
Phil Alexander: Yes, that was a good one... you remember from four years ago? Thanks for the complimentary comparison!
Re: Numerous jokes and comments on CAPTCHA codes... aren't they just randomly generated, with some number of coincidences to be expected, or is that just another pea-brained TThoughTT?

I probably remember more from four years ago than recent submissions, and that one is one of my favourites.
Re the captcha codes - yes, they are a random three-letters.. I'm hoping for sex at some point ;-)

me too, but it would mean getting out of my chair
Not if she's *really* co-operative ;-)
