The Lyrics
Sing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
Then, you’ll swing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
That talk host is bound to get you,
Oh, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
That talk host is bound to get you,
Talk host, talk host, talk host, talk host, talk host...mmm...
(female vocal)
Richard Quest,
Start in to host, then soon, you’ll be hosting,
Richard Quest,
Turn on the heat, your feet will keep beating,
One, two, three,
He’s a talk sensation, (dee-de-oh!)
On TV,
Is the Quest that’s putting the world on its feet,
Richard Quest,
Once you begin, you have to give in to
Richard Quest,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that
If you’re not a dunce,
Oh, you’ll catch on at once,
Well, watch the guy on TV,
He’s that Richard Quest!
(vocal trio)
Richard Quest,

On TV,

Honestly, despite your craven need to repeat the same song ad nauseam, it’s fascinating that you seem to know how obvious it is we’re tired of the song, yet your double-digit IQ insists on pounding these out. Just curious, what color is the sky in your lonely little world?
Wow, Tardsy, you sure were busy yesterday. Looks like you managed to poop out four of your insipid little songs. That must’ve tired you out ‘cuz I noticed you didn’t write your own critiques like usual. Question: since these were probably literally pooped out, how’d ya get them past your head?
Yeah, wow, great attempt (“comment” and worthless phrases) Here’s a thought: since you obviously feel the need to bash these entries, why not take the time to listen to the original song? Maybe you wouldn’t have to write bogus stuff like this if you actually took the time to analyze the original song. But you wouldn’t take that advice.
Why would I, or anyone for that matter, take advice from someone who has tried to commit suicide six times? Your inability to write comments that don't have lines you've copied from others plus the fact that you struggle to make good choices regarding basic life decisions are just further proof that you're too stupid to function in normal society.
Shows what you know. The other day Glenn Walker complained about an author who only changed 12 of the first 193 words of a song. Although he didn’t specify the song name, I can only assume he was writing about “Rhythm Steps”. OTOH, you only thought I changed ten words from the song. Again, too cowardly to listen to the OS, or are you being too distracted from Taylor Swift to care?
Gosh, guess ya got me on that variance, although my number was based solely on a guess. Besides, why do you think I'd care about something that constitutes less than a 1% change? As regards your "challenge", the fact that I can't be bothered to listen to your tacky, tired tune has nothing to do with cowardice, although you posting your turds under other people's names certainly does. And I know virtually nothing about Taylor Swift. PS remind me what actual brain ailment you have.
Wow, how disrespectful to the original artist. The fact that you don’t even care about this amazing song shows what a low-life you truly are. BTW I was diagnosed with a prion disease, but I didn’t bother to remember the whole name. As regards Taylor Swift, you probably don’t know about her situation regarding Travis Kelce, which is more nonsensical than me repeating my “hoboes-with-oboes tune” twelve times a week. Is that the best you can come up with?
Disrespect? If not for you bludgeoning this song into the ground every day, no one on here would have ever heard of him. Don't take that as a victory because I have yet to see any comments thanking you for turning someone on to this stagnant, secondhand remnant of a bygone age. The little I know about Taylor Swift is she is terrible at relationships, and Travis will soon be just another ex. Lastly, you asked if something was the best I could come up with, right after using my "hoboes-with-oboes" line (probably the third time since I originally wrote it). Hypocritical much?
We can do this all night, but nobody’s fooled. Your inability to comprehend the greatness of the OS will also give your stance away. Anyway, gotta get the work writing five more variations of this tune before the end of the week because this brain affliction will eventually make my efforts even more pathetic. Is there a more discreet version of the eggplant/volcano emojis? Perfect summary for your “comments”.
Give my stance away? I'm a model of consistency. I've had the same stance since the first day you showed up. And even for a mental patient such as yourself, how much time can it possibly take to transpose a dozen (+/-) words to make another "song"? Seems like your biggest challenge is to outdo your previous efforts in finding the dullest subjects possible (NPR, sugar-free cake etc). I have no idea what you mean by eggplant/volcano emojis, but then again, I doubt you do either.
