Parody Songs are harder than I thought

As a listener, I have often heard a Manson/Ned parody song and thought "that's not so hard, anyone could do that". So, when listening to The Bubba the Love Sponge Show this morning, and hearing their talk about the Ft. Myers ratings, I decided to try writing one.

And now 2hrs later, I have a pathetic attempt at one done, and have an entirely new appreciation for what Manson and Ned are able to do.

This song is written to the tune of London Calling by The Clash.

In Fort Myers, by DUBBAGA

In Fort Myers, ratings fallen so low
We’re in fourth place, boy we must blow
In Fort Myers, fans have all left
They want us cancelled, abandoned, bereft

In Fort Myers, no one tunes in
They aren’t awesome like Tom the Treeman
In Fort Myers, lost any swagger
Maybe end it all with a proverbial dagger

CHORUS
The time is now here, the axe might soon fall
No more shock the puss no more shock the balls
You’ll miss us soon, of that I am sure
Fuck you Fort Myers – I need my rattler

In Fort Myers, we stink like black mold
Not sure why, the show is radio gold
In Fort Myers, what can we do
Ask Stern to let us play who’s the Jew?

In Fort Myers, are we even still on?
Clearly those jobbers prefer Bob & Tom
In Fort Myers, ratings still going down
We don’t mind, cause they’re a horse shit town

CHORUS
The time is now here, the axe might soon fall
No more shock the puss no more shock the balls
You’ll miss us soon, of that I am sure
Fuck you Fort Myers – I need my rattler

CHORUS
The time is now here, the axe might soon fall
No more shock the puss no more shock the balls
You’ll miss us soon, of that I am sure
Fuck you Fort Myers – I need my rattler

Here’s the deal
In Fort Myers, soon off your dial
Listen on Sirius, it’s more our style
In Fort Myers, the other shows sucked
Yet we still lost, feel royally fucked
