Filler- a Parody of Michael Jackson's "Thriller"

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!
