Brilliant! Brilliant! Brillant!!!! (Need I say more?)

Not an easy song to do -- I know, I tried it, "Dear Master Yoda" -- and you might get your shell handed to you for this, but I loved it!

i'd call this a full fledged masterpiece even if i wasn't included... thanks for the nod, you rock

DKTOS, but that's some masterful word weaving going on there. Good Job. 555

:Grin:
Gee, Tommy the Turtle, that's really quite good
But knowing who the author is, I knew that it would
Well-woven and witty, and wonderful, but
You just talk about it: there's no smut!
There's no smut, there's no smut
Usually a glut
But surprisingly, there's no damn smut ;-)

Thanks for the inclusion in your terrific production number..even if you did make me a female...

DKTOS, if it looks smooshed I can't vote because you never did tell me what that was, and I don't know what tune to follow.

TTremendous work!

This really had me Chuckling. 555

That's quite a bit of excellent writing there, Tommy Turtle. Super idea and execution, and many thanks for the inclusion (who said turtles and ants can't be friends? No one? That's what I thought...). I sentence you to write 555 parodies.

I try to avoid 10 year olds as much a possible. =)

I think the site is more PG-13 than G rated nowadays, and it'll probably stay that way. I don't know if whatfreaks was still around when you first started, but that's where all the NC-17 and X rated parodies went. ChuckyG doesn't allow them here for numerous reasons, but I believe the big one is that if AmiRight is flagged as an adult site the advertising dollars go away.

No doubt sex sells, but IMHO anyone can rhyme "suck" and f***" and get a few cheap laughs. By forcing authors into vagueness and double entendre (or a crapload of asterisks) to post here, I think the adult themed parodies here are much better than what was on whatfreaks anyway (with few exceptions).

Nice job on this one, don't have a lot to say, bored and just checking out a few parodies today.

As someone who knows how tough that OS is to parody, let me say that you did a GREAT job here, TT!

Matthias: That'll do very nicely, thanks! :)

Michael Pacholek: Thanks!

alvin rhodes: thanks, but what did i do to deserve you calling me a rock?.... oh wait, you meant i do rock, not i am a rock.... duh (lol j/k!!! thanks alvin :)

Michael E. Cormier: The movie is well worth renting, even though the lyrics aren't as good as on the Broadway sound track... check out the WSS website through the link at the top.... Thanks Michael.

Phil Alexander: About what I'd expect in a spin-off comment from you, namely: excellent (and as Alexanderly alliterative as always)... Check tomorrow and next week - will go back to double-entendre, while duly trying to avoid outright smut :)

AFW: You're welcome, and the casting was done because your nick paces perfectly and (almost) rhymes with OS character Baby John.

Baby John
Airfarcewon

Adagio: This isn't a smoosh. It's a straight parody of the OS, whose lyrics and MIDI (digital simulation of OS melody) are linked in the intro (click the underlined blue "Broadway OS lyrics" to read the OS lyrics; and to hear the tune, click the underlined blue "here" in "There's a MIDI here". Click that, do ctrl+F, type "krupke" (without the quotes), hit "enter", then click on the title "Officer Krupke". The sing-along tune will play. Hope that helps, and thanks for stopping by.

PMS: TThanks! :-)

Rex: Good one (lol).. thanks.

Below Average Dave: thanks - hope to have helped relieve the boredom.

Judge Red Ant: (see casting note to AFW) Can't say your nick rhymed with OS character "Diesel", although at least it paces to it. (similarly, "Snowboy" and "Phil-A", and "A-Rab" with " al-vin"... and making him the psychiatrist somehow seemed, I dunno, right lol)... I know you don't "judge" the parodies before submission, but since you are on staff, it seemed natural to cast you as the Judge.

Like so many other parodies, the "complaint" here was a good bit tongue-in-cheek facetious. Yes, whatfreaks was here when I started. I visited it once or twice and didn't really care for it. I like a dirty limerick or joke as much as the next ant or turtle, but as you point out, much of it was juvenile or cheap rather than clever. In fact, I agree completely with your opinion and with ChuckyG's policy, even though I never thought about the advertising implications (not being in the website business myself). Innuendo, double entendre, puns, and vague suggestiveness that rely on the reader's imagination take much more creativity and wit, and come out funnier and more appealing, than outright obscenity. I expressed the same opinion in response to your comment at "Copping A Feel On Heather"... don't believe you've seen that response.

IMHO, dancing on the edge is more fun than jumping off. I'm sure that sometimes I accidentally go over the line, but the line does indeed get blurry at times. I submitted one this past Monday that had nothing ribald other than the common expression for the breast, "t***y", and it didn't post, but that might have been related to the new-server issues - a couple of comments I submitted that day didn't appear, either. I'm going to try submitting that one again next week, and another that will show that it can be all in the reader's mind rather than on paper (so to speak). I already submitted for tomorrow Friday (19 Jan. OMG, that's today!) 14 hours ago (before noon on Thursday), before seeing any of these comments (long, break-free work day - yuk!), and it's somewhat adult-themed, but in a joking way and without a single nasty word. Hope it's OK.

Thanks for the votes and "sentence", Your Honor. Will try to serve it obediently :D

JohnnyD, your comment came in while I was composing the encyclical above... thanks, and where TF have you been??? missed ya, especially at www.amiright.com/parody/60s/julieandrews88.shtml and its sequel, www.amiright.com/parody/60s/julieandrews89.shtml...not trying a cheap plug, just thought when composing those that JD of all people might enjoy... if ya do visit, check out the first one first... and nice to see ya again!

Very well written stuff here!

John Lomain, thanks!

There's a grin on my face that won't go away, not faster than turtle speed anyway. :-)

Got that one, TT, thanks. I really liked it 5's

This does explain a LOT.

A bit on the weirder side with you, TT, you must have toked some of that weed, too. :) (j/k)
I recommend the movie too, even though Natalie Wood and Richard Beymer have no business whatsoever starring it. They don't even sing their parts!
And as I kind of said in "Amphigorian Pie" (shameless plug): "I could make the lyrics suck/ And make the words all rhyme with 'duck' / But then someone would give a darn."

Peter Andersson, thankss! :-)... Adagio, thanks, glad you liked it... Parodist, yeah, I guess it does :)...

Agrimorfee, yeah, Natalie Wood is sooo Puerto Rican, right?... And street gangsters are all trained ballet dancers, and spontaneously break into song-and-dance numbers.. still, a great flick. Thanks for VC. ;)

Red Ant: Meant to mention that the "I'm a freak" portion was indeed an allusion to whatfreaks.com. I didn't even know it had shut down. I'm so relieved to know that while we're still vulnerable to te**or*sts, bogged badly in Iraq, facing ever-growing budget deficits, etc., at least we're protected from seeing the word f*** on the Internet, because seeing that word is much more harmful than all of those other things combined. (apparently). Way to go, US Govt.!!!

"Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press;..."
Did you people not read that, or did you not think we were serious when we said it? And exactly what part of "no law" wasn't clear?

The Founding Fathers: You guys tried, really, you did, and a good job... but what you said has been pretty much ignored since... some people (governments) just can't handle the idea of "freedom". Thanks for stopping by, guys.

Great job with a fun song put, as I'm learning is your habit, to ironically apt use ... a sort of parodistic metapun, if you will. FWIW, I played about with this OS awhlie back, whacking it with some reverse spin.

Stan Hall, thanks, and thanks for catching the meta-metaphor of Chucky/Krupke both being "cops" of a sort.... yes, OS was chosen not only because the title and character names pace properly, but because of the analogous situation.
I'm getting *way* behind you in reading your work -- doesn't it s*k to have a Real Job? -- but will look at your comments that are in my pending list, and try to carch up on yours later on. Thanks again for v/c.

Tyrone the Terrible, thanks. Great set of initials, by the way!

Wonderful statement on G#d Da#ned censorship! Gee Tommy Turtle, deep down inside me here come fives!!!

Mark Scotti: Thanks... although as the commentary discussed, the admin (ChuckyG) *needs* to exercise discretion, so as not to drive away mainstream advertisers, who make the site possible for him and for all of us. But the fact that WhatFreaks was shut down for a while was really Nazi-scary... Deep down inside me come the thanks!
