For some reason, I tend to parody songs that I loathe (the lyrics, not necessarily the beat). But for once (actually, that’s not true…I love Adele. And Johnny, despite what I did to his song), here’s a song I actually like. Not one of my better efforts, but I found it languishing in a folder and figured I might as well post it.
Paralyzer (based on this Finger Eleven song)
I hold on so casually to my precious book
I wish it would never end
So far it’s been phenomenal, it’s my friend
And I feel happy, as I should
This book has got to be the most amazing thing
Since I read Judy Blume
Well, I am imagining a well lit place
With this book in my face
Well I’m not paralyzed but I can’t quite write my review
I wanna make them read it too ‘cause it’s so good
If only my post could match what your words can do
I’d be right there too, a published author just like you
I hold out for one more page before I think
I really should go to bed
But when tomorrow comes, I think I should just stay home
‘Cause I’m in the reading zone
My review will hopefully be done in three weeks
That would be cool with me
But, I’m still imagining a well lit place
With this book in my face
Well I’m not paralyzed but I can’t quite write my review
I wanna make them read it too ‘cause it’s so good
If only my post could match what your words can do
I’d be right there too, a published author just like you

nice! great parody.
I love your songs. They make my day brighter!
You’ve got quite a collection of these now. You should SING them for us and then post them on YouTube. You could go viral. You could end up with a book deal, a record deal or a reality TV deal. These days, things like this happen. No snark…I’m serious.
That was AWESOME! I love that song. Did you know…that we have a roller coaster down here at Universal called the Rip Ride Rockit, where you have speakers behind your head (and a camera mounted on the seat in front of you to capture a video of you freaking out). As soon as you sit down, you can pick out one of like maybe 30 songs from different genres to listen to while you ride. The one I pick 9 times out of 10 is this one. It is a perfect tune to listen to while you are being thrown around.
You’re the Weird Al Yankovich of the book blogger world. I love your parodies!
Haha! I love your creativity!
I love the song, fizzy. Yes, I do like Johnny!
Love it. Another fantastic parody!
Oh… I am so glad I stopped by! Another song… stuck in my head
Love it! Thanks for making my Friday afternoon
Did a particular book inspire this one? My 15-year-old approves!
