The Lyrics
hey zeus...a greek, so rad
wore his beard, long...with skin of leather
remembered
for being king of the gods
shaking his rod
twas no god, better
hey zeus...amazing traits
you were mate to...the well known hera
that nymphet...named aphrodite's your kin
goddess of sin
she made things better
at any time, you'd take a swain
hey zeus, you reigned
though hera's your girl, you did the fold, here
your antics known...she wasn't fooled...but played it cool
she knew you ruled...and played her role, here
za za za za za
za za za za
hey zeus...you are renowned
you're the founder...a real go-getter
remembered
for lightning bolts that would dart
plus pretty smart
twas no god, better
you took gals out, they let you in
hey zeus...what vim
just waiting for someone to perform with
you rock and rolled...and got quite lewd
hey zeus...whoa dude !
the children you reared, were by the score, here
za za za za za
za za za za
hey zeus...they called you 'dad"
you will live long...in lore forever
remembered
for wearing merry ol' grins...as you dove in
and made a litter
litter litter litter litter litter...yeah !
za...za za
za za za za
za za za za
hey zeus
(repeat for a millennium)

This was solid all around...definitely the best greek mythology parody I've seen in a while...and the repeat for a millenium in the parentheses made me smile and laugh out quietly which is very good for a written parody.
Apollo mine said this Hera Gaia wrote a good parody. Demeter was perfect. A Titanic effort.
thanks ethan...of course, the OS's original chorus was much longer than a millineum...thanks mckludge...nice puns !
Fine job, here, alvin
An Olympian effort.
Sir Alvin, ~The Mighty Duke o'Roads~ Awesome dude that Zeus, just one of the gods in the " Book of Dave ".
thanks AFW, john and littleHera
wish i'd had you for my greek mythology teacher... this rocks. (slightly plagiarized comment lol). Educationally nailed the randy religious regent and ridculOuS -- you're a real Dr. Zeus. 555+
Well done, alvin. Proof that beastiality can be funny once again.
Also loved the ending parenthetical!
Especially liked the swain/reigned couplet. My fave of the day. Great title switch and the pace of the melody of the OS goes so well with the story you tell about the king of the gods. BTW - what ever happened to Zues? I heard a rumor once that he was up a Greek without a paddle. Must be that Greek rep. thing. I like this one lots.
This song was filled with godly awesomeness. 555 Lightning bolts of justice for you! By the power of Greyskull....you have the power!
thanks TT...dr. zeus...lol...thanks glen...huh ?...thanks merry...glad ya enjoyed....thanks guy...is there a god's retirement home ?...thanks dr. music....power of greyskull
Guy... "BTW - what ever happened to Zues?"
I was wiped out by a bunch of fundamentalist Christians who don't allow any religion or beliefs but their own. They took over power in Rome about 1700 years ago, and that was the end of me. I understand they still do the same thing today. Sad for your people, too. The ironic part is that their priests and ministers seem to be every bit as lecherous as they fault me for being. WTF?

Zues - What do you mean exactly by "your people"? Are you referring to "my people" and if so who might that be? I'm not sure how to take this comment. I'm seeking humor in it but it somehow escapes me.
Very good - I remember seeing the ruins of a huge temple dedicated to Zeus in Agrigento, Sicily when I was on one of my van trips round Europe in the 80's.
You're welcome Al. You know I've always wanted to say that. I just couldn't resist. Your song is godly, and I bet the gods are looking down at you and smiling. My favourite mythical god is the Mexican god Quazalotyl who could turn into an axolotyl. I'm a sucker for shapeshifters and transformations.
Guey: the people of your country, and the sex scandals of the child-molesting priests and the hooker-and-drug loving televangelists, and the people who claim to speak for the God who replaced me, but who practice intolerance and hatred for everyone who doesn't share their beliefs. For whoever that shoe fits, wear it, and for the rest of the people of your country, it's sad that those few do that to you. And to the ideals that my people, the Greeks, left to you, like democracy, philosophy, tolerance, etc. And no, I don't think it's funny either. Blessings from Olympus, Z.
Great song.
OK Deity Zeus, and sorry for the typo on your great name. You are correct with what you say about those who abuse their positions of holy authority. It gives the majority of those who are truly convicted of their beliefs a bad rep. And yes I've done my share and will continue to do so, of satirically bashing those who are the false prophets and oppressors who misuse the first amendment of the US constituion for their own benefit. Now that we have aired this out and seem to be in agreement let's leave Alvin's page free of further venting on the subject since this is not the forum for this sort of dialog. And I thank you for clearing up the comment made earlier. Peace oh mighty Zeus.
This song was hillarious.
"Yeah, Zeus. You know, Mount Olympus, father of Apollo, don't f*** with me or I'll shove a lightning bolt up your ass, Zeus! You got a problem with that?"
Zeus Carver: I assume you're one of my many descendants, probably from my mating with a mountain goat. Nice to hear from you, Son! No, of course I don't have a problem with that, in fact, my successors used the same tactic, phrased slightly differently: "Don't f*** with me or you'll spend eternity in H*ll!" Always glad to hear from the grandkids! Hope all is well. Love, Grandpa
Guy, I'm glad too. Pardon my taking a little more of this page to say hi to the family. I won't bother alvin any more.
Oh, yeah, alvin... I can take a joke as well as the next God. Funny song, and thanks for helping me relive the memories of those good old days when I ruled. - Z.

Oh great deity Zeus - I absolutely howled at your ref to the mountain goat. You is funny for a god guy. Most god guys are bland and uninteresting - not like you and my buddy Alvin. And Alvin please forgive me for carrying this thing on but I just had to comment on the Mt. Goat ref. HA HA HA! =;-)
I love mythology, especially greek/roman mythology. I've always had an interest in vampires and lycanthropy. Did you know that according to one myth, pumpkins and watermelons can become vampric if you keep them for 3 weeks after xmas? Also there was this story we read about a demon cat that killed a woman and took on it's form.
I thought you were going to go ahead and "make my day" with this title. Imagine if you can, my disappointment when this turned out to be about some Greek god freak and not my fellow cow poke, "Hey Soos". This just makes my hide raw.
