The Lyrics
About parody authors...
(Jim)
When we're just some kids looking for our true ambition
Our daddy said, "Now boys, you're full of imagination
Though you could be artists or perhaps two musketeers
My boys, is this a challenging career?"
Yo ho ho
You'll hit the dancing floor
And you'll keep your song and words sound
By pacing lines indoors
True lyrics and comedy are what we can't live without
And when you're a parody author
That's what your song's about
(Tim)
Outtaway guys, this is my only number!
Now take us Brady Twins, some authors all despise us
But to Dumb A** Kid we're heroes and he idolize us
It's how you look at parod-eers that makes them bad or good
But I see us as members of a funny brotherhood
Ho ho ho
We're humorous men
And after we lose our tempers we will always be your friends
But sometimes there may be someone you have to rant
But when you're a parody author
(Jim)
You don't have to wear your pants! ...What?
(Stephen King)
I'm glad I'm an author coz I like writing scary stuff!
(Lemony Snicket)
I wrote unhappy things but I'm just not so tough
(J. K. Rowling)
I'm already in fantasy cause I've always loved Harry Potter
(J. R. Tolkien)
And me... Aragorn didn't surrender
(Tim)
Some say that authors steal and should be loved or hated
I say we're victims of bad votes and so exaggerated
We'd never scowl behind the back, we'd never sneer or cheat
We're just about the funny guys you'd ever want to meet
Oh ho ho
It's one for all for one
And we'll laugh and laugh alike with you and love you like we're your hons
We're gentlemen of humor and that's what we're proud to be
And when you're a parody author
You'll be funny, cute and free
That end so happily
You'll be happy and fair with fiery hair
And most importantly
(All)
When you're a parody author
You're always in the best of company
When we're just some kids looking for our true ambition
Our daddy said, "Now boys, you're full of imagination
Though you could be artists or perhaps two musketeers
My boys, is this a challenging career?"
Yo ho ho
You'll hit the dancing floor
And you'll keep your song and words sound
By pacing lines indoors
True lyrics and comedy are what we can't live without
And when you're a parody author

Oh great mighty kings of parody Brady Twins oh, how I idolize you. I am at your every whim. I shall kiss the very ground beneath your feet. Drivel drivel. I IDOLIZE you? No. I wrote one parody for a laugh in response to the one you wrote about me, thats all. You're good but you aint gods yet...
435. Good pacing, average funny, but I agree with the message. I wouldn't say particularly " victims of bad votes ", just that you happen to pick a lot of stuff very few people have heard( and out of almost all of my nearly 20 ( yes twenty ) Alice in Chains parodies, the most votes I got on one was 6 ). You may not want to, but try some classics for a change ( this is a step in the right direction ). I mix them around a bit, as I do not like to spend hours writing a parody when maybe one person here will review it ( mostly my "alternative " era stuff ), so I do classics I really like and they fare much better ( both on votes and score ) than the newer stuff. It's your choice though, you can stick to obscure/lesser-known songs and get fewer votes, there is nothing wrong with that.
PS- This kinda sucks too, but if you do not comment/rate others parodies, you probably will not get many yourselves. I personally look at every parody every day now just to see what people are doing. Even a comment like " DKTOS, but it looks funny " will work, and if you aren't sure how it's paced and has atleast 3 or more 4/5 on pacing, then you can vote it on funny/overall ( I do that on songs I don't know--if 5 other people say it's paced a 5, I will " Go with the flow, so to speak " and then rate the funny/overall myself.
