Parody Song Title:

"It Was a Telecue"

Parody Written by:

John A. Barry

The Lyrics

It was a telecue
That it was time
To rouse the spouse and then pursue
The wife’s dyin’—
Soon she’ll be dyin’.

But the killer gaffes it. . .
Ain’t takin’ her down.
And instead she gaffes him,
Brandishing slashing scissors she’d found.

Her neck’s a hellish hue:
The garrote’s sign. . .
The swine!

Husband hews
To the ruse
That she’d choose
To make lose life, this boun-
der lying there
As dead as can be,
But then redounds—
And clears her—
To him the telltale clue:
“Key” to the crime.

A cell phone would have never worked in that scene. Not even if she dialed M for Motorola.
