(Finally! I wrote one about Jimmy! It's about the others a little too, but mostly Jimmy and his reminiscing.) Okay; here's one that more of us know. This song is one of my FAVORITE SONGS IN THE UNIVERSE. It's beautiful, it's emotional, and it's kind of sad. When I wrote this parody, therefore, I decided to make it not sad. It might be one of the best I've written, but I don't know. See the Story I wrote below and enjoy. (One more note: I listened to the real song and sang the parody along with it, and I've got the whole thing down as far as fit goes, I promise!)
Holograph: Parody of "Photograph" by Nickelback
Look at this holograph
Every time I do, it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red?
And why's a monkey on Carl's head?
And this is where I grew up.
I think my parents must've fixed it up.
But my lab I couldn't go without.
I took it with me when I moved out.
And this is where I went to school,
where Cindy and I made each other fools.
Somehow, I think Ms. Fowl always knew
that we'd end up together all too soon.
It's been a couple years since she died,
the greatest teacher in all our eyes.
Principal Willoughby is still alive.
We must've seen him half a dozen times!
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, Goddard, I...
(Chorus): Every memory of flying into deep space,
and every single time that Cindy slapped me in my face
was hard to say it,
had to say it:
Goodbye, goodbye
Every memory of beating up the bad guys,
a time my only thought was saving other people's lives
was hard to say it,
had to say it:
Goodbye, goodbye
We used to gather at the Candy Bar,
have misadventures in my hovercar
Now Goddard and I still look at the stars
Libby and Sheen go walking through the park!
Cin's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
We have been married a while since then
Haven't seen Betty since who knows when:)
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, Goddard, I...
Every memory of flying into deep space,
and every single time that Cindy slapped me in my face,
was hard to say it
had to say it:
Goodbye, Goodbye
Every memory of beating up the bad guys,
a time my only thought was saving other people's lives
was hard to say it,
had to say it:
Goodbye, Goodbye
I missed this town
I can't believe it
We're gonna stay
Too hard to leave
We're gonna relive those days
because we've got a baby on the way :)
Every memory of flying into deep space,
and every single time that Cindy slapped me in my face
was hard to say it,
had to say it:
Goodbye, Goodbye
Every memory of beating up the bad guys,
a time my only thought was saving other people's lives
was hard to say it,
had to say it:
Goodbye, Goodbye
Look at this holograph
Every time I do, it makes me laugh
Every time I do, it makes me...
Author's Review:
As promised, here's the small story that goes with the song.
Story: Jimmy and his friends graduated and left for college. Using some scientific gizmo, Jimmy took all the stuff in his lab with him. He and Cindy made sure they went to the same college together, returning home with their friends for holidays and two major events: Jimmy and Cindy's wedding and Ms. Fowl's funeral (Hey; we're all gonna go someday). Jimmy looks at everything around him and sees that nothing has changed in the four long years they were gone, with the exception of his parents renovating the house. By the second verse, Jimmy and everyone are done with college and have come home. Jimmy and Cindy, married by now, get a house in the neighborhood somewhere, and Goddard is still in peak condition because of those tune-ups Jimmy puts him through. Libby and Sheen (I guess) are also married around this time. The lyrics in the bridge of the song, "I missed this town. I can't believe it" and so on, are basically Jimmy and his friends saying that they'll always live in their hometown. It was "too hard to leave." And obviously, Jimmy and Cindy are having a baby! So of course they're going to raise him/her in their roots! ;) The chorus pretty much says that when they all left for college, it was hard for them to say goodbye to their hometown and their childhood, but they had to. However, they're going to just start the next phase of their lives where they were born and bred. And if I know Jimmy, Cindy, and their friends, they'll have plenty of other screwy adventures! XD LOL!
So did y'all like that song? How about the story? Do y'all like the story? Both? Neither? PLEASE REVIEW! LOVE Y'ALL! (Maybe I should make that story a fic:D)
