Parody Song Title:
"Adrenal Jeannie"
Parody Written by:
John A. Barry
The Lyrics
Balco is the Bay Area Laboratory Cooperative, implicated in the steroid scandal linked to Barry Bonds, Marion Jones, and others.
Adrenal Jeannie
Adrenal Jeannie with the facial hair,
Toting a vaporizer, to get some air.
I hear her yelling, her rage brought on by
Trying her taxed heart with dope that
Makes Bonds hit balls high.
Fighting hard to get wind—
The stuff's bobbling her brain.
Wishing her motto hadn't been "no pain, no gain."
Adrenal Jeannie, she looks like a scarecrow,
Cursing the day that she first encountered Balco.
Adrenal Jeannie with the facial hair,
Toting a vaporizer, to get some air.
I hear her yelling, her rage brought on by
Trying her taxed heart with dope that
Makes Bonds hit balls high.
Fighting hard to get wind—
The stuff's bobbling her brain.
Wishing her motto hadn't been "no pain, no gain."
Adrenal Jeannie, she looks like a scarecrow,
Cursing the day that she first encountered Balco.

Yee-haw, what a GREAT title!
yeah, I agree with Johnny, 5s for the title alone, but the rest was pretty good too...
What I wouldn't give for just a glimpse into the mind of John Barry...
Thanks, JD, Kristof. Ash, just want to assure you that virtually nothing I post is autobiographical.
funny stuff...5s
Ash, I've met John. He seems quite normal on the surface. But then again, so do I.
John, great topic. Looking at Bonds now, compared to his Pirates days, makes it hard to believe his denial on the Balco issue
Short and sweet, but the orig. doesn't give for much play. Well done.
JB, Fine job, Story told well within the few lines available. Personally, I can spell "succinct" but have difficulty achieving it when I write. 5's.
