… oh, and– uh– Happy April Fools.

LYRICS:

The birds are flying.
The scene’s implying
It’s magico.
Purple sunset.
A ghost of Mickey.
A UFO!

Fingers to camera.
Now pointin’ at mah face.
Walkin’ but I don’t move!
I’ll make fists to raise.

Knee-deep in the cut-outs.
Snap in this girl’s hair.
That made her so annoyed.
So she disapp-airs!

My cozy shot is cluttered.
With these apathetic bozos.
Shame on our country.
Turn your heads, people.
We’re at the Lincoln
Memoriaaaal!

You teeny-boppers,
Plead your forgiveness to Mr. L.
Patriotic.
Forgive them, Lincoln.
OKAY, I WIIIIIILL!—

– uhhh… WHOA… that usually doesn’t happen when I talk to inanimate marble statues…

Empty Queen’s casino.
Like that ever happens.
Not in the Golden Nugget
Or even in Japan.
Creepy face below me.
That room’s in LA.
That wasn’t even relevant.
THAT WAS AN AIRPLANE.
I’ve got no elbow room left.
Isn’t this my video?
Where is mah’ trailer?
My appetizers?
I’ll take a cream puff or a quick Rick Roll!

*RICK ROLL*

The dice are falling. (Prepare to… DIE.)
This implicates Indiana Jones.
I like bowling.
But not when being the thing thats bowwwleeeed.

I’m (he’s) gonna pop my (his) eyebrows.
Why’d she vanish completely?
Guitarist. Now he’s gone, though. (BOBBLEHEADBOBBLEHEAD.)
I’m moving without feet.

Act like a tough guy. (Note slack-jawed mouth.)
Random marathon!
Who’d deem that place ideal
To play music on?! ( THAT GUY.)

Tell Mickey to stop it!
I only think she’s cute!
Looking like that a girl
– Flirting isn’t rude! (VEEEER.)

Pan through the deadpan. (ZOMBIE PEOPLE.)

HI, MOM. I’M ON A BUILDING
TALKING TO YOU ON THE PHONE.
No, it’s my fingers.
You stupid dummy.
Now watch me pogo from so not low!

I’m way too high up!
Construction workers climb while we go
Building cities.
We’re building cities with rock and roll!
THAT’S THE TITLE.
Hey, look there. It’s all our handiwork.
Music’s vital.
The beat makes cities. It’s quite a quirk.

WE DON’T. DON’T KNOW WHAT’S GOIN ON. (Try to lipsync!)
WE DON’T. BUT WE’RE STILL WITHDRAWN.
WE CRAWL. ONTO THE CENTER STAGE. (Just like groupies!)
WE THINK. YOU ARE A WHITE MAGE.
CUZ YOU. YOU BUILT THIS CITY NOW. (With this ditty!)
ARE YOU. THE STATE COMMITTEE?
YOU MADE. IT INSTANTANEOUSLY. (In this viddy!)
WE HOPE. YOU PAID PROPRIETORS. *incoherent nervous mumbling*

    I’m a fan of Weird Al too. It sounds insane but if I could ever get him to look at a parody, let alone do that I could die partly happy.

    I’ll be honest and say while the singing wasn’t perfect, it did it’s job of making me lol and it was spot on. Again much better than I could do.

    I’d have to find a suitable song if I ever tried to muster something up, and find someone who can sing even a little bit.

    Heheh– big fan o’ Weird Al– ever since finding his impeccable parodies, I’ve been doing the same! *grins* — And who’s to say you can’t? Some people in the comments section have been saying WE can’t sing– maybe you’re just a victim of having heard the wrong people. *crosses eyes* And even if you can’t, lots of literal videos have gotten popular primarily for their lyrics! *grins* Thank you ved’dy much all the same!

    Well, one of the definitions of implicates is “implies”.

    … So… yes, Sir Vidia, yes, I meant implies! *grins* Splendid spotting!

  • MrNotbadyou says:

    It’s good to know other people love altering song lyrics as much as I do. I can’t sing so I can’t make one of these.

    It’s good I don’t because I doubt I could pull it off as good as this, or the other literal videos.
