Nicely done once again, carly. The only time I don't give you 5's is when I don't know the original...and I am pretty old. ;D

Good job on on of my favorite songs...wish you had used the monologue with it...and the gong! Ribber...I'm surprised you don't know it!

The title switch was so good that II finally decided to read one of your songs, though DKTOS of most of yours (and though you've not chosen to read any of mine).

Need to pay more attention to pacing, i. e. matching the length and stresses (accents) of the parody to TOS. E. g.:

Nights in white satin
Plights in Manhattan, (good)

Never reaching the end ... 6 syllables
All the top notch trends, ....5 -- one short

Letters I've written ... 5 syl
Serena and Blair chattin, 7 -- two over.

Never meaning to send. .... 6 syl
About a friend's 1 night stand ... 7, but it's very close, *and fixable":
'Bout a friend's one-night stand = scans perfectly to OS line in both meter and accent/stress.

Won't go through the rest, but you get the idea. You're quite prolific; now work less on quantity and more on quality. The ideas are there, judging by this one. 3-4-3.

If you'd like an easy, simple method to nail the pacing every time, it's (cough) here:

...and a belated welcome to AIR!

What you've got is very good, but Adagio is right: In order to get a 5 on this OS, you need to parody the closing monologue as well. As great as the OS is, it's so overblown that it demands parody. (See also "MacArthur Park.")

awesome write...

Damn, I did not even know there was a monologue at the end.
