The Lyrics
My 8th parody is a combination of two ideas with one common link: The Shark
He just swims and eats
And terrorized the tourists
Had a nation struck with fear
Had some hunting for it
What were they thinking?
One studies biology
There's no way they were ready
To fight a shark who's hungry
Pissed off, angry Jaws
Stay out of the water
Don't go fighting with a shark
You'll get torn to pieces
He's the ocean law
Hunters, now the hunted
Don't go fighting with a shark
You'll get torn to pieces
Switch to Happy Days
Everyone's at the beach
And the Fonz has water skis
Can you guess what he's jumping?
After that one show
Nielsen ratings took a drop
And the rest was such a flop
They made a website bout it
Happy Days was good
And the Fonz was so cool
Then they jumped over a shark
Worst episode ever
Stupid broken plot
Poor production values
When they jumped over a shark
Worst episode ever
Now sharks are historical
Some sharks use their teeth to break your bones
And sometimes using sharks will ruin your show
If this happens then you know just what
you're gonna see
Ted McGinley
Pissed off, angry Jaws
Stay out of the water
Don't go fighting with a shark
You'll get torn to pieces
He's the ocean law
Hunters, now the hunted
Don't go fighting with a shark
You'll get torn to pieces
Happy Days was good
And the Fonz was so cool
Then they jumped over a shark
Worst episode ever
Stupid broken plot
Poor production values
When they jumped over a shark
Worst episode ever
And terrorized the tourists
Had a nation struck with fear
Had some hunting for it
What were they thinking?
One studies biology
There's no way they were ready
To fight a shark who's hungry
Pissed off, angry Jaws
Stay out of the water
Don't go fighting with a shark
You'll get torn to pieces
He's the ocean law
Hunters, now the hunted
Don't go fighting with a shark
You'll get torn to pieces
Switch to Happy Days
Everyone's at the beach
And the Fonz has water skis
Can you guess what he's jumping?

Really good pacing. I like how you carried the theme. For people who didn't watch 'Happy Days', the references don't make much sense, though. That kind of thing could be mentioned in a line, but it seems awkward in a whole stanza. That's why I gave you a 3 in the funny category. Good job overall.
2nz makes a very valid point. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, let me clarify. "Jumping the Shark" is a term which originated from this episode of Happy Days. It used to describe the moment when a show has reached its climax and the rest of the show goes downhill until it is cancelled. For more information, visit www.jumptheshark.com. NOTE: I do not own this site, although it was a source of inspiration.
