Filler- a Parody of Michael Jackson's "Thriller"
By Aaron Amram
I was inspired to do this after VH1 had their "Michael Jackson Halloween Marathon" which was only some of his "short films" over and over again. After Seeing "Thriller" several times (Vincent Price is cool!), I decided to write this….
You come home form work and, there's something monotonous on TV
It's some TV shows, like Taxi and Mayberry RFD
You'd rather not watch, you'd rather see some sappy cheesy talk show
You press the buttons, to only find some black and white old game show
You just don't know
You turn on the screen; navigating buttons to channel seven
It's Mr. Bean, with one big roasted chicken on his head
You're irritated, so you change the channel to that lovely FX
It's Starship Troopers, and Sergeant Rico's shooting giant insects
You're getting vexed
They're out to get you, those fossils at the region's TV station
You try networks, hoping for some new emancipation
You're out of time, and now it's time to do your blasted homework
You're really pissed off, and thinkin' Mr. Ed is just a big jerk
This just can't do…
Television hours fall to TV Land
The primetime hour is close at hand
Pierce's old tricks make a thud
As old Frank Burns falls in the mud
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for Chemp's home town
Must sit and watch that Dick Van Dyke
As Boringness raises its icy pike
The sound of Bradys fills you with fear
The way Moe pronounces Worcestershire
And Reruns with a terrible glow
Twist your soul with every show
And though you try to find something else
The tube cannot deliver
For no mere mortal can resist
The redundancy of The Filler
`Cause this is filler, filler night
And no one's gonna save you from that ghastly Thelma's sight
You know it's filler, filler night
You're bored amidst the nightly strife within this filler
Filler tonight!
That it's a filler, filler night
`Cause I can bore you more than any ever in sight
Girl, this is filler, filler night
So let us knock you out within this filler, filler
Filler here tonight!
`Cause this if filler, filler night
There ain't no second chance against the Adams family member with 3 eyes
You know it's filler, filler night
You're bored amidst the nightly strife within this filler
Filler tonight!
That it's a filler, filler night
`Cause I can bore you more than any ever in sight
Girl, this is filler, filler night
So let us knock you out within filler, filler
Filler here tonight!
Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk…
Filler!
