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 Fools’ Day 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 Fools’ Day is bound to get you,

Fools’ Day, Fools’ Day, Fools’ Day, Fools’ Day, Fools’ Day...mmm...

(female vocal)

Fools’ Day Steps,
Start in to sing, then soon, you’ll be swinging,
Fools’ Day Steps,
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,

Fools’ Day Steps,
Once you begin, you have to give in to
Fools’ Day Steps,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that

If you’re not a dunce,
Oh, you’ll catch on at once,
Well, simple as ABC,
It’s the Fools’ Day Steps!

(vocal trio)

Fools’ Day Steps,
Start in to sing, then soon, you’ll be swinging,
Fools’ Day Steps,
Turn on the heat, your feet will keep beating,

One, two, three,
It’s a new sensation, (doo-doo-do-doo!)
You’ll agree,
It’s the step that’s putting the world on its feet,

Fools’ Day Steps,
Once you begin, you have to give in to
Fools’ Day Steps,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that

If you’re not a dunce,
You’ll catch on at once,
Simple as ABC,
It’s the Fools’ Day Steps, whoa!

Fools’ Day Steps,
(instrumental call-back)
Fools’ Day Steps,
(instrumental call-back)

One, two, three,
It’s a new sensation, (doo-doo-do-doo!)
You’ll agree,
It’s the step that’s putting the world on its feet,

Fools’ Day Steps,
(instrumental call-back)
Fools’ Day Steps,
(instrumental call-back)

If you’re not a dunce,
You’ll catch on at once,
Simple as ABC,
It’s the Fools’ Day Steps, whoa!

Simple as the day is long!

So once again, you are doing the same stupid **** as you've done innumerable times before. You get slapped down for flooding the site with 5 to 6 ridiculous "parodies", then you lay low, then you try one or two submissions to overwhelmingly hostile response .. and then you flood the zone again with this madness. Where do you get the idea that this is welcome? Are you trying to destroy this site? And if so, why are you being allowed to do this?

As much as I'd miss it, I agree that "management" should just take this site out back and shoot it. I doubt it garners enough clicks to make it worthwhile anymore, and the only person who would be negatively affected is The King Of All Hyper-posters, who must have something on someone to be allowed to do this. CML do you actually know anyone in "management"? Remind them to turn out the lights when we're all gone.

CML, rant all you want but the 'tard-king isn't going anywhere. As might be expected of a dimwit, the new village idiot has adopted now-dead GeorgeAndGermaineBriantFan's tactic of changing around 6 words to the same ancient song and posting on a daily basis. I guess in his world that's considered clever. He has also continued using his mentor's example by using my name(s)...'cuz why post obvious garbage under your own? You may have noticed he also digs up old comments that were mostly addressed to GAGBF and posts them under his entries. I guess the idea is to make it look like someone actually read the damn thing. The good thing for me is I use a variety of alternative names to post comments when the double-digit IQ guy carpet bombs the board with stupidity, so my actual posting name remains unsullied.

I am tired of this constant war between you both. This used to be a really good website many years go now it has gone downhill because of the bogus 13 votes and this nonsense. If you have a grievance against each other then contact each other directly and leave this site alone.

Ask dorsal orifice GAGBF-CopyBot to only post his crap under his own name. As far as this site going downhill, where's your complaint about this guy posting the same song with minimal changes several times each day. We've had people who were looking for a parody site stop by, comment about that, and never return. If you get bored and restless, bring that up with management. Someone with far more clout than me apparently tried and got nowhere. I'd love to see this board return to what it once was, but GAGBF-CopyBot isn't going to let that happen.

^^^^^This is exactly what I’m talking about. I’m not actually participating in this BS. This is a direct copy/paste of a comment I wrote who knows how long ago. If this $#

Got cut off for some reason. If this site had some kind of ID-entry, the hyper-posting ‘tard king wouldn’t be able to pollute it like he does. Again, the comments you see under my “names” are just old copy/pasted things I wrote in the past, sometimes to the dead guy who started it all.

Wow, how original. Can’t wait to read your next twelve attack variants against the same song. There’s a whole world out there. Please explore it. I’m open to other ideas as long as they don’t come from people who have nothing better to do than bash a +/- 100 year old song. I beg you, please keep us apprised on all the attack variations you have planned for the next several days.
Captain Obvious - April 02, 2024 - Report this comment
Damn near verbatim. Pretty much explains why you're limited to only posting minor variations to the same old song. 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. And even for a ‘tard-bot 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 (Gary McNamara’s “story”, Sally Eilers, the Briants, etc.) Copying my phrases again? Apparently you can't do better.

^^^^^^More copy/paste from Creeping Irrelevance.
