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 banking 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 banking is bound to get you,
Banking, banking, banking, banking, banking…mmm...
(female vocal)
Bank Cap/Fed,
Start in to sing, then soon, you’ll be swinging,
Bank Cap/Fed,
Turn on the heat, your feet will keep beating,
One, two, three,
It’s a new sensation, (dee-de-oh!)
You’ll agree,
It’s the step that’s putting the world on its feet,
Bank Cap/Fed,
Once you begin, you have to give in to
Bank Cap/Fed,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that
If you’re not a dunce,
Oh, you’ll catch on at once,
Well, “We got the house!”, you see,
Let’s all bank Cap/Fed!
(vocal trio)

Wow, Creeping Irrelevance, things must be really slow out there at the irrelevance factory if you've got the time to drop five of your 'tard turds and supply commentary for both of us. I'm guessing they ran out of crayons and glitter and told you unwanted wastes of skin to fend for yourselves.
I know you're all proud of yourself for utilizing some program that allows you to drop these out by the ton, but just like your dead boyfriend, it's obvious that you couldn't make a parody with creativity, let alone humor, if your life depended on it. Hence, it's hardly a stretch to say that crayons and glitter are way above your pay grade.
I know you're all proud of yourself for utilizing past critiques in your latest attempt to bash this song, but just like the previous ones, it’s obvious that you couldn’t appreciate a single bit of this song if your life depended on it. Hence, it’s hardly a stretch to say that brain capability and appreciation are way above your pay grade.
"Brain capability" says the 'tard who has to copy other people's responses to form a reply. I've challenged you and your dead boyfriend any number of times to show me the wit and special creativity you both claimed were inherent in your little song, and each challenge was met with some second grade retort and no substance. It was also you who claimed that the reason for plague-bombing this song was to stir up interest from academia. So...you're not being inundated by visits from Ivy League music historians? Wanna see my shocked face?
Three witty things about this song: A) “Dee-de-oh!” B) The instrumental call-back repeated four times. C) “Simple as the day is long!” … and ten other things. Having trouble admitting that this was a genius song, or are you still focusing your one brain cell on the Super Bowl and the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce Extravaganza? Seems like you could do better!
If that's what you consider wit, a pile of dry grass clippings would amuse you for weeks. Genius song? Apparently G&GBF wasn't the only one to flunk out of grade school. Didn't watch the Super Bowl. My team didn't make the playoffs and I'm not a big fan of the teams who ended up playing in it. I've never been a Swift fan, and as I told your dead boyfriend, if her past record is any indication, Kelce's gonna end up being dropped hard at some point. Copying my phrases again? Apparently you can't do better.
Eyeah... so, you may remember that little comment last week that said (in part) "As of today, this will be the last parody submitted here as we’re finishing our homage to George&GermaineBriantFan." Can any of you kids say "We lied!" to the home audience out there? I knew you could.
Did you really think you surprised anybody?
Surprise anybody? There was never any intention to quit this song, nor surprise anyone by pretending to do so. That might be an impediment when I ask you to show me how this song isn’t “creative” or “genius”. The song was funny on day one, and it’s still funny now. Anyway, if that’s what you consider commentary, a jar of poop would amuse you for years. Just curious, does it hurt to be that stupid?
Clarify something for me: how is your desire to keep on cranking out minor variations to the same song an "impediment" to me explaining anything? It doesn't surprise me that you can't comprehend how trite it actually is, but suffice it to say there's probably not enough bandwidth to explain why it's neither creative nor genius. If it had any merit whatsoever, musicologists would be all over it like they were with Appalachian music. Instead, there were only two people who were ever interested in it: you and your now-dead boyfriend. I'd be scared to own a jar of poop for fear that you'd come steal it for parody source material. Just curious, does it hurt to be unable to create your own snarky comments?
Clarify something for me: how is your desire to keep on pounding out mini smear campaigns against a 90-year-old song logical or justifiable? This song has more merit that 100% of all pop songs today, and has more wit and originality than any other music genre in history. It should have been played at the Stupid Bowel-movement (Super Bowl), therefore there wouldn’t have been this media frenzy over Travis Kelce pushing Andy Reid, or Taylor Swift being the hero of the VIP booth. Lastly, as regards what I consider parody source material, maybe I wouldn’t consider writing about “your” jar of fecal matter if you actually wrote worthwhile commentary. I think we both know the odds of that happening.
