My pet rock, Seymour, is still on extended holiday in Loveland, Colorado. But that hasn't stopped him from making use of my sister's music system to continue his 'career' of hijacking and parodying song lyrics.
"Do NOT!"
You be the judge.
Seymour recently completed lyrics to two songs that he says are "sure fire HITS!". After perusing them, I find that Seymour is right.
And wrong.
"Am NOT!"
Seymour's first "sure fire HIT" is very, VERY reminiscent of the 1970s, and a song by Lynryd Skynyrd, one known the world over as "Free Bird". But not the way Seymour parodied it.
"Did NOT!"
Really, Seymour? You really think a song entitled Free Turd is going to climb the charts?
*Pet rock in petulant pout mode*
But it gets worse.
"Does NOT!!"
Seymour -- in his infinite wisdom -- created a song he says will sweep dance clubs the world over, "especially when they catch my unique lyrics!".
I carefully perused Seymour's "unique lyrics". And it didn't take me long to find where Seymour pirated the idea for this "chart topper": from the 1980s.
"Did NOT!!"
If you've ever heard of a group called the Romantics, recall a song from the 1980s, Talking In Your Sleep. Now that you've recalled it, prepare to have it forever after corrupted, Seymour-style.
"Will NOT!!!"
You be the judge:
From Seymour the Pet Rock Writes Again...
Farting In Your Sleep
When the day is done
and it's time to sleep..eep..eep
And it's down to the sound
of a floor creak
I can guess the things
that you've eaten to-day..ay..ay
When your tummy opens fire
and the gas goes weee-ayyyy...
You pass a chimi-changa
You pass a pas-ta sal-ad
and a bowl of onion so-up
and I know that I'm right
cuz I smell it every ni-ight..
I hear the flatulence you sneak
when you're farting in your sleep
I dread the methane that you seep
when you're farting in your sleep
I have tried to hold you close at ni-ight
It's kinda like sleeping in a...firefight...
And all the fuel that you put inside
You're generating flatus
that you just can't hide...
You pass a large bur-ri-to
and garlic rigo-toni
and don't forget the hot wings..
and I know that I'm right
cuz I'm pummeled every ni-ight...
I fear the flatulence you sneak
when you're farting in your sleep
I hear the methane that you seep
when you're farting in your sleep
I hear the flatulence you sneak
when you're farting in your sleep
I fear the methane that you seep
when you're farting in your sleep
When you close your eyes
and you cock a cheek
the coming night's miasma ain't a...mystery..
You pass a Hostess Twinkie
a double bacon bur-ger
a platter of lingui-ni
it'll be a long night
cuz I'm mired in it's bi-yte...
I fear the flatulence you sneak
when you're farting in your sleep
I hear the paint peelers you seep
when you're farting in your sleep
the dog can't stand the flatulence you sneak
when you're farting in your sleep
the neighbors, from their windows leap
when you're farting in your sleep..
"Pretty catchy, huh?"
Seymour, the EPA will be around to talk to you, after ASCAP and Weird Al...
"Will NOT!!! Uh...who?"

I love Seymour to pieces, but this song will never be played. Ever. Bwahahahahahahaha.
Have a terrific day. My best to Seymour. :)
As adorable as Seymour is, I'm afraid you're going to have to rein him in and bring his songwriting career to a screeching halt. Clearly, his hobby isn't working so well. Maybe sign him up for online dating to keep him occupied?:)
Anonymous: you're entitled to your opinion. But as anonymous, you have no balls. Just sayin'.
Was that Seymour posting as anonymous? Think you've "rocked" his confidence, Skunk..
Now, limited as his talents may be, you've got to at least give him a ten for trying, haven't you? I think you and he might benefit from a session or two of councilling together?
(And I'm a bit worried that song was penned from experience of sharing a house with you.)
