The Lyrics
I get a little miffed at those who use their scoring option to harrass less-skillful writers and those who have different opinions and beliefs. Do us all a favor - if you disagree with the contents of a work, don't give "ones"...just don't vote!
You may not write too well or have a sense of time
Your pace can really smell, your endings never rhyme
Yet bad as it can be, you'll never need fear me
'Cause I don't give "ones"
And if your politics can make my stomach ill
I'll put aside those tricks and judge you on your skill
No matter what's your view, I will not dump on you
'Cause I don't give "ones"
For I am a guy who will always give a try
To respect you and not get your goat
Rather than bash and score your song like trash
I simply just won't cast a vote!
If you work hard as me and then your song has missed
I'll score your parody and will not make you p*ssed
II'll keep my big mouth shut, I will not rip your butt
'Cause I don't give "ones"
(Instrumental bridge, then return to the song on the final section)
I'll keep it civil here, no need to start a brawl
I'll try to pass on cheer, not make your ratings fall
If you don't have a clue I won't be rude to you
'Cause I don't give "ones"
;D

Great job here, OMR, and I sometimes give 1s, but only when the parody is so bad that it deserves them. For this parody, though, you will get 5s.
ABSOLUTELY right, OMR!!!
And I concur with Andria. Only vote 1's when the parody deserves it, not like this one, getting fives!!
I think it has been said before - getting 1's showed that you stirred someone up. I've seen this a number of times on parodies that had great pacing and rhyme. On those, it is obvious that the person is in disagreement with the author. That's unfortunate, but it is America, land of free speech.
There are lots of reasons that the trolls one-bomb good parodies that have nothing to do with the quality of the work or the talent of the writer (parodied their favorite song, bashed their favorite performer, disagreed with their political or moral views, etc.)...As someone who has been bombed many times, I say just ignore the cowards and go on doing what you do!...555!!!
Well stated, and I agree...
Amen!
Great parody, Ribber! This is "one" parody that doesn't deserve 1's! I myself don't give 1's on a parody. I only give 4's and/or 5's on parodies. If I see a parody that doesn't catch my fancy, I just don't vote or comment. But that's not always the case. Sometimes I don't have a chance to v/c on people's parodies. I'm sure they've worked hard on their parodies, though. If trolls drop 1's for no reason at all, sometimes it's because they have nothing better to do. All the same I echo all comments above. For this parody, you get all 5's for this one!
Great job, and surprisingly enough, I do know and love the OS. This fit very well, and I have been one-bombed at least 3 times for reasons unknown. Either for doing Michael Jackson parodies or sticking to a subject. 555 for this one.
'U-know', this was 1derful!
great concept...and one i agree with
Great job OMR, and I agree. I see someone has uni-bombed you on this one too. At least they gave a 5 for pacing this time.
