The Lyrics
Talkin' bout that liiiiiitigation.
You know I'll deceive them, any place or time
You know that I'm skilled 'cause there's crying when I whine
I can sue for millions and millions and millions and millions and millions
Oh yeah
And I know that you know all about the legal tricks I play
And never see me when purposely I let harm come my way
Well here's a wad from you
From when I choked on your food
I'm gonna get a pile
'Cause when I get riled
I can sue for millions and millions
I can sue for millions and millions
I can sue for millions and millions and millions and millions and millions
Oh yeah
I take advantage of the courts when cash just doesn't come my way
You see me scam lots of judges so there's no point for you to say
The fault belongs to me
It's so plain to see
But you gotta stand trial
'Cause when I get riled
I can sue for millions and millions
I can sue for millions and millions
I can sue for millions and millions and millions and millions and millions
Oh yeah
You know I'll deceive them, any place or time
You know that I'm skilled 'cause there's crying when I whine
I can sue for millions and millions and millions and millions and millions
Oh yeah
Your summer home and furniture are mine to use on spring days
You would think that they would learn by now and see through my pathetic ways
Well here's a wad from you
From when I choked on your food
I'm gonna get a pile
'Cause when I get riled
I can sue for millions and millions
I can sue for millions and millions
I can sue for millions and millions and millions and millions
and millions and millions and millions and millions and millions
I can sue for millions and millions
I can sue for millions and millions
I can sue for millions and millions
I can sue for millions and millions
You know that I'm skilled 'cause there's crying when I whine
I can sue for millions and millions and millions and millions and millions
Oh yeah
And I know that you know all about the legal tricks I play
And never see me when purposely I let harm come my way
Well here's a wad from you
From when I choked on your food
I'm gonna get a pile
'Cause when I get riled
I can sue for millions and millions
I can sue for millions and millions
I can sue for millions and millions and millions and millions and millions
Oh yeah
I take advantage of the courts when cash just doesn't come my way
You see me scam lots of judges so there's no point for you to say
The fault belongs to me
It's so plain to see
But you gotta stand trial
'Cause when I get riled
I can sue for millions and millions
I can sue for millions and millions
I can sue for millions and millions and millions and millions and millions
Oh yeah
You know I'll deceive them, any place or time
You know that I'm skilled 'cause there's crying when I whine
I can sue for millions and millions and millions and millions and millions
Oh yeah
Your summer home and furniture are mine to use on spring days
You would think that they would learn by now and see through my pathetic ways
Well here's a wad from you
From when I choked on your food
I'm gonna get a pile
'Cause when I get riled
I can sue for millions and millions
I can sue for millions and millions
I can sue for millions and millions and millions and millions
and millions and millions and millions and millions and millions
I can sue for millions and millions
I can sue for millions and millions
I can sue for millions and millions
I can sue for millions and millions

Australia hasn't quite gone that far, yet, but the US is always being thrown in our faces as what MIGHT happen if we don't become more personally accountable - nice work, Scathe - 555 - (I made the "millions" scan by understressing the second syllable of millions so it just sort of fell away, which is how you must have paced it)
Great work on a non-too-easy OS and glad to see you back Scathe. 555.
(SOTM) - Good concept, I liked it, and I figured out the pacing issue the same way Stuart did and gave it all 5s. Though maybe some variations to the last lines could have brought extra punch: I can sue both gals and guys, I can sue when salesmen dials, I can sue for wiles and lies, I worn down the courthouse aisles. Something like that. :-)
(SOTM) I agree with K1chyd (Peter), you could have mixed it up a bit more. You could have also used: I can sue both guys and gals, I can sue both gals and guys, I can sue you liars and liars, I can sue for millions and billions and trillions and zillions... , etc. I DKTOS as well as I thought I did, so I had to use a MIDI as the backdrop to the song. 545
(SOTM) Yeah, I have to admit that "millions" chorus is a bit clunky, but it's a good concept, heh heh.
Great tribute to most of the population who have become proffessional suers, or is that sewers... Either way they both stink... 5-5-5's!!!
SOTM-OK
(SOTM) I think I'll start a lawsuit to stop people from suing. Nice job here.
(SOTM) ReThink the accent on the "millions", and it does work...but this was a bit repetitive for me.
(SOTM) Hehe!
SOTM: Big time pet peeve of mine, the system being abused. Nice job (and love the OS)
I can't stand frivolous lawsuits either. I was annoyed just having to learn what a word like 'frivolous' meant. Nice work here, Scathe.
(SOTM) Um...it's okay...you just lose a point for that 'miles/millions' bit. I bet the rest was brilliant though (the mp3 I used kept stopping for no good reason).
(SOTM) Great job on this, Scathe. One of my favorite Who songs too. I, at first, had a problem with the "millions" for "miles" but, it does fit if done correctly. I too, would have mixed it up a bit more at the end but, won't dock you for it. 555
(SOTM) Many have mentioned the repetiton, but IMO it works as a plus here - I can hear the greed coming out with all those millions. Also, your intro comment could make a very good My Generation parody.
(sotm) see above - and Red makes an interesting and good point about how the repetition actually works here - nice job Scathe
awesomely done. and nice to see a fellow "the who" parody
Thought I'd commented on this one already... must have voted 'cause the vote didn't take. I'd have thought the "miles and miles" might have translated into "mill - ee - ons", it'd be easier to sing that way... anyway, good luck with the lawsuit ;-)
SOTM--I'm just waiting for the opportunity to sue for millions to come my way. Until then...I'm going to have to keep depending on other rich people to buy me the things that I want...; )
(SOTM) You should have sued an anonymous fast food chain. Interesting song.
(SOTM) Ca$e clo$ed! ;-)
(SOTM) DKTOS, good one.
