The Lyrics
Parents, meet the parents
Of your lovely future bride-to-be
From a town of rednecks
They're possessive of their escapee
Dad rides with a shotgun in his car
Mum's pissed, 'cos he dragged her from a bar
When you meet the parents
Be a cuddly, dudley do-right, don't start a fistfight
And then you'll be all right
Parents, meet her parents
They're as tough as it is painfully
But to make her bed rock
You must smile all through the misery
Someday, maybe Mum will sober up
And the steak will not be 'possum pup
When you meet the parents
Dress tip-top, don't be a flip-flop, visit the gift shop
And then you'll be on top
Unless YOUR dad's a cop!
Of your lovely future bride-to-be
From a town of rednecks
They're possessive of their escapee
Dad rides with a shotgun in his car
Mum's pissed, 'cos he dragged her from a bar
When you meet the parents
Be a cuddly, dudley do-right, don't start a fistfight
And then you'll be all right
Parents, meet her parents
They're as tough as it is painfully
But to make her bed rock
You must smile all through the misery
Someday, maybe Mum will sober up
And the steak will not be 'possum pup
When you meet the parents
Dress tip-top, don't be a flip-flop, visit the gift shop
And then you'll be on top
Unless YOUR dad's a cop!

I, too am not a fan of pro-Southerner-Knock stuff...but this is a funny write and funny read..(Just kiddin' "I Know")...5's
Now I'm not sure that meeting the Flintstones is all that bad. Much better than this family. 5's
a yabba dabba doozy...5s
Know 1 - this was very funny. Particularly liked "But to make her bed rock / You must smile all through the misery"...5's ~ ~ ~
But to make her bed rock - fantastic wordplay K1 - 555
Great! 5's!
Perfect Rhyming, and timing
AFW: In early sketching this was not about rednecks but about Sweden's neighbours the Norweigians, though somewhere along the line I decided that "from the town of Oslo" would be too much of an injoke for almost everyone here except myself and maybe Ingeborg.
Tim & Alvin: Thanx.
Paul & Stuart: Beside the title line that was where I started. :-)
Joelle & Lionel: Hmm… those names could pass for a rhyme too…

This was a riot! Great work! 555
Damn, K1chyd... just as I thought I had my SOTM top three sorted I go and look at this one. This is just about perfect :-)
(SOTM) Verry funny!! 5's
Forgot to put this in my initial comment (SOTM) :)
Very funny. I'm glad there was no Ben Stiller.
(SOTM) Cynicism is a perfect spice for parodies.
Don't know how I missed this one before, but it's rip-roaring funny K1!
SOTM--good job, K1! This made me giggle!
(SOTM) Hilarious!!!
A lot of great lines, particularly the possum line. (You know you're a redneck if you think possum is the other white meat.)
(SOTM) Great stuff!
Love it, Peterchyd. My fave bits are "cuddly Dudley Do-Right" and, of course, "bed rock." Clever, funny, well-paced rhymes that mimic the original's. And that is what makes a great parody.
(SOTM) HEE-HAW!
(SOTM) already commented
Great idea. Great execution. I granite thee 3 fives.
Loved it, nice and simple. 2nd place in SOTM, Peter.
(SOTM) Hee hee. Do they HAVE rednecks in Sweden? ;-D
I had no idea you'd met my family
(SOTM) See my earlier comments...and then double them!!! Great stuff!
.. very funny ... and love some of the commments too... esp Jeff's ...LOL!
Good parody of the original theme song.
Cute and funny
