Original Song Title:

Parody Song Title:

"What's the Most Wonderful Kind of Career?"

Parody Written by:

Arwen

The Lyrics

What's the most wonderful kind of career?
Could be pumpkin pie smelling
Or Brooklyn Bridge selling
Or tasting root beer
What's the most wonderful kind of career?

The most Fab-Fabulous workplace of all?
Only optional meetings
Year 'round trick or treating
And free popcorn balls
The most Fab-Fabulous workplace of all!

Oh, profess'nal pig roasting
Or 'Here's to You' toasting
Pay me to whine about the snow
Telling shady 'true' stories
Of my Elven glory
That's info you all need to know

Well, the most wonderful kind of career
Might be wet balloon throwing
Or faithfully going
To each film premiere
What's the most wonderful kind of career?

There's 'My Team's the Best' boasting
Through red stop lights coasting
Checking how much dogs really know
Sit at home watching Maury
Count shoe inventory
Or taste testing raw cookie dough

What's the most wonderful kind of career?
All this time I've been knowing
It's County Fair showing
Of Vin Diesel's rear!!
That's the most wonderful kind
Oh, the most wonderful kind
Yes, the most wonderful kind
Of career!
I know I'D give it the blue ribbon...; )

Round 'n round the mulberry bush

Um, Diesel can't go 'pop' -- he has no cork.

Fantastic idea and execution, elf.

Red Ant - October 07, 2005 - Report this comment
Arwen if I had the answer to that question I'd be a lot better off, seems all I find is "What is the most horrible kind of career". Excellent lines, too many to pick out.
PMS - October 07, 2005 - Report this comment
I agree with all who said "too many great lines to mention". I don't know the answer to the songs question, but I'll bet working with someone like you would make any career more wonderful.

So busy composing a mini-parody that I forgot to say --- excellent parody, Arwen! 555

The most wonderful career is reading parodies like this.
Tim Mayfield - October 08, 2005 - Report this comment
The title was sheer brilliance. The rest of the parody lived up to the challenge. 5's

This former almost to be Guidance Counsellor just remembered why he'd gave up that career choice, to many weird options one would have to talk people out of (and talking them out of Vin Diesel's ass would probably take some serious talking out of ones own... ehhh... so to say... ehhh... never mind me, I'm just rambling here. :-)

I was a professional wet balloon thrower for a while in the eighties - sure it sounds glamorous but it sucks after a while - but this didn't - this was one of them "great ideas" people talk about - excellent, Ar - 555

Man, I wish people would stop voting all one's on a perfectly paced parody. >:( That kind of thing has got to stop.

AFW…Thanks a bunch, sir. That means a lot coming from you, considering that I sort of forgot who you were yesterday, with the whole Red Ant/Kristof debacle…; )

Kristof…It’s always interesting to me which lines people appreciate the most. Seems like the ones I kill myself over are never as big of a hit as the ones that I throw in at the last minute…=) I guess it just proves that I’m the most brilliant when I’m not even trying to be brilliant…; )…thanks very much!

Rick…You know I love it when you use my lingo…=) Thanks a ton!

Johnny…Aww…my sweetest fantasy placed into lyrical form…(seriously, I have a thing about mulberry bushes)…just what the doctor ordered! Thanks!!

Leo…I will disregard your first comment on account of the kindness of your second comment. Bastard.

Alvin…Wow, all three? I really would have settled for darn fun to read…; ) Thanks very much!

Red Ant…Oh, now that’s not good news! =( Although…I have to admit that I’ve been there a time or two…how else would I have had time to daydream about all of these fantasy jobs? Thank you VERY much…=)

PMS…Well, color me flattered! That’s very very sweet of you…and you know I’m not going to lie. I’ve worked with myself at every single job I’ve ever had. It really IS a joy…; ) Thanks!

Johnny…(again)...Don’t worry about a thing! I was too busy enjoying your mini-parody to even feel slighted for a moment…=) Thanks!

Rex…You mean you do this for a living? Talk about making the pretty elf jealous…; ) Thanks!

Tim…In all honesty, I almost ALWAYS work from what I consider to be a brilliant title. I have several brilliant titles that have no parodies below them…but I’m glad this one worked out to be something you enjoyed…=) Thanks!

Peter…(I’ll always call you K1)…Hee! Thanks!

Stuart…People have been talking about this idea? Where? In the AmiRight break room? DAMMIT! I thought for sure I was being super original. Hmph…; ) Thanks…

DTTOV…Thanks, man…it’s good to see you again. I’m a little bummed by the fact that Mr. Ones Voter has come out of the woodwork on my stuff again…(it honestly had been a while)…but I think it might have something to do with the awkward blind date that we had a couple of weeks ago. He picked me up and presented me with a plastic rose he’d bought at the dollar store…and then he took me to dinner, and made me order off of the dollar menu…then he took me to the dollar movie…and didn’t even let me get any popcorn. Yep…that’s all he could afford to spend on me…three ones.

I guess he’s finally figured out that I’m not ‘accidentally’ missing his calls…

Hey Arwen...long time no see! I haven't left you guys; I'm still around. I just haven't been by here in a while, that's all. Reading this parody about careers reminds me how busy I've been lately. =) I really enjoyed it, and I'm gonna give it a perfect 5-5-5 vote. :)
Arwen - October 10, 2005 - Report this comment
Serafina...you are always as welcome any day of the week to check my stuff out as you are on the day that it's posted...just gives me more to smile about when you finally do show up. Thanks!

I'd have to say "Tech Support" at a school out west, where one could could serenade the hot blonde chick when she's not helping students.
Arwen - October 12, 2005 - Report this comment
Well, Jeff...surprisingly THAT did shoot straight to the number one spot in all of my polls...with "Afternoon Delight" winning as serenading song of choice by a large margin.

I can't figure it out. She must be one hell of a gal...

Thanks, buddy!

I'm convinced it has to be something in TV marketing. You don't need good ideas... just ideas. And I think you get interns too, blonde ones...

And I'll never get the 'shoe' thing, but ya got me with shady stories of elven glory.
Arwen - October 27, 2005 - Report this comment
2nz...I've never done an internship, so I don't know what you could be referring to. ; )

And you don't have to 'get' the shoe thing...you just have to adore me in SPITE of the shoe thing...make sense?

It's like you were reading my job description verbatim! Such a kick ass job. I don't know how you do it...
Arwen - December 01, 2005 - Report this comment
Ash...I'm so glad you found this! I was really close to entering this one into SOTM for October...because I love love love it, too...but alas, I went with the bathroom humor. Either way...I'm glad you liked it!!
