You're So Vain, Part II

~Wiping tears of laughter from eyes~
I may not recover in time to do any real work. All are brilliant, just brilliant!

~ PRIDE: It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you don’t have any

and now I can praise you for BOTH of your ditties at once!

True talent is so very hard to contain, isn’t it??

I usually end up singing the “new” lyrics to You’re So Vain and HITS Show California

“and they stab them with their steely spurs, but they just can’t win the blues”

Really, I’m telling you, we need someone to record these songs and slip the tape to an accomodating announcer… can you imagine how hard people would laugh if they heard some of these songs over the PA system at the horse show?
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I cannot listen to either of those songs either without singing the “revised” lyrics either!!!

And I have to admit, when considering what music to use for the Music Derby class at Huntington Beach, I actually thought “hmmm…wouldn’t that be funny to record the parody lyrics to one of those songs and ride to that?”

Dogchushu, that is hysterical!!!

I am in the process of printing songs up and leaving them on the BB at the stable for everyone to enjoy.
Thought I would do acouple a week.

I wish we had one place for all these FABULOUS songs, as there are others that are NOT on this particular thread.

I think some Eagles songs are prime candidates for rewrites. Maybe ‘Desperado’ and ‘Lyin’ Eyes’. Any takers?

The creative juices were flowing pretty naturally today…so here is “8 Per Fect Jumps” - sung to the toon of the Rolling Stone’s “Satisfaction” - enjoy!

I can’t get no 8 per fect jumps
I can’t get no 8 per fect jumps
'Cause I look, and I pull, and I push, and I kick
I can’t get no, I can’t get no

When I’m ridin’ on my horse
And that man comes on the loud speak er
And he’s tellin’ me I’m on the deck
Be at the ingate…ready to go in
The pressure mounts and I get psyched
I can’t get no, oh no no no
Chip Chip Chip, that’s what I do

I can’t get no 8 per fect jumps
I can’t get no 8 per fect jumps
'Cause I look, and I pull, and I push, and I kick
I can’t get no, I can’t get no

When I’m comin out the ring
And the trainer comes up to tell me
How my horse needs some zing
Well I just want to tell him to give me Rox Dene
Instead he goes off flirting
I can’t get no, oh no no no
Chip Chip Chip, that’s what I do

I can’t get no 8 per fect jumps,
I can’t get no courses without lumps.
'Cause I look, and I push, and I pull, and I kick
I can’t get no, I can’t get no

When I’m ridin’ round the course
And I’m chippin’ this and I’m long to that
And I’m tryin’ to make my trainer proud
Who tells me baby better come back later next week
'Cause I see you’re on losing streak
I can’t get no, oh no no no
Chip Chip Chip, that’s what I do

I can’t get no, I can’t get no
I can’t get no 8 per fect jumps
No 8 per fect jumps, no 8 per fect jumps, no 8 per fect jumps

Aren’t you all glad you chose to ride—can you imagine making song parodies about, oh, say, fishing? LOL, perhaps golf?

I am highly impressed by everyone’s ability, you are all talented, I bow!

Forgot to mention, I believe that someone should remake “Hotel California” perhaps into “HITS Show California” [?] I challenge someone to try, I refuse to do it myself!

Another great one!

Somebody has to save this thread and we can have our own COTH BB Songbook!

I cannot let this thread die hahaha

Thanks AAJumper! It’s not half as good, though, as your Eagles tribute. “HITS Show California” was our morning guffaw! It’s brilliantly funny!

These were terrific! I call for an encore as well!

Behind every good woman lies a trail of men

True talent…true, blue talent.

to Usher’s “You make me wana”

ah.ah.ah.ah.ah.ah
This is what you do…every time you poo
ah.ah.ah.ah.ah.ah
This is what you do…every time you poo

(Chorus)
you make me wanna buy that new junior hunter
start a new prospect without you
this is what you do
think about him and the things that come along with
you make me
you make me wanna hop off and leave
start a new prospect without you
this is what you do
think about him and the things that come along with
you make me
you make me

(Verse 1)
Before anything began between us
You were like my bestfriend
The one I used to go and jump whenever i was having a good school(thats right)
You used to make it all okay
jump 3"6 and all that too
And when I come to the barn at night and to open that stall door
all I seemed to smell was you
And how you make me wanna

(Chorus)

(Verse2)

Now what’s bad
Is you cost me some big moola
Knowing it should’ve been you
What’s sad is something smells and it’s you
What should I do
Should I
Tell you baby bye-bye
Should I
Do exactly what I feel inside
Cause I
I don’t wanna smell
Don’t need to gag
But you really need to stop rollingggg!!!

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)

At this point
The situation’s out of control
I never meant to hurt you but I
Gotta let you go
And if you may not understand it
Why all of this is going on
I tried
I tried to fight it but the smell is just to strong

You make me wanna wanna
You make me wanna

(chorus)

ah.ah.ah.ah.ah.ah
This is what you do…every time you poo
ah.ah.ah.ah.ah.ah
This is what you do…every time you poo

This is why I need to go over to the HJ bb sometimes…OMG I have nearly peed my pants several times reading over these 7 pages.

AAJumper? You are my hero. HITS was just too funny…I must admit that my age is hampering the enjoyment of some of the selections here, as I have no idea who some of the artists are, much less the tune.

Give me the Stones, The Eagles, and (dare I admit it?) Gloria Gaynor and I can at least sing your songs!!

These are priceless…hats off to you all. I will think about this and see what I can come up with…perhaps sung to the tune of a Beatles song. I can do those.

The gene pool could use a little chlorine.

Only what I would expect from you DMK! Thanks for starting my morning with a good laugh.

DMK, you have met your match, that was truly well done!

A lyrical genious among us!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to whoever bumped this thread. Last night I truly understood ROTFLMAO while reading the bumped Sea Urchin wedding thread. Tonight after reading the fabulous parodies, I feel very lucky to be in the same cyberspace with such gifted folks. This BB and its members are truly a blessing!

No no, VT… the rules are that if you START it, you must finish it…

Why thank you Laurie… you noticed that, eh?

that was great, oh so funny !!!
