Northern Attack's 2008 Summer Hiatus Contest - Week 1

Northern Attack's 2008 Summer Hiatus Contest has begun, and earlier today I posted my entry for the first week's prompt. Like last year, I plan on posting my entries for all the prompts here, along with comments. The prompt for this week:

Week #1: A Plethora Of Parodies

My entry:

The Grilling Buffoon by Pam Beesly

A parody of The Killing Moon by Echo & The Bunnymen

At my desk we listened to you
Tell us about your injury
Stay home and rest I begged you
Alas, you did not agree
The grilling time
For belly of swine

Baked your foot in a grill
Red and swollen skin
It will hurt until
You take some aspirin

In the conference room I saw you
So calmly you called me
Asked me to rub butter on your foot for you
Your request did not fill me with glee
The grilling buffoon
Don't expect that anytime soon

Baked your foot in a grill
Red and swollen skin
It will hurt until
You take some aspirin

Ryan pretended he didn't hear you
When you fell when you tried to pee
You had no choice but to make do
A burned foot is not a disability
In fact it's rather benign
In a day or two you'll be fine

Baked your foot in a grill
Red and swollen skin
It will hurt until
You take some aspirin

There are already a couple things I wish I could change with my entry, but it's too late for that now.

I don't think I'd ever written a song parody before. I thought writing the parody was challenging and a little tedious. My favorite part of working on my entry for this prompt was going through songs and thinking of ideas for parodies and changing the title to be a parody. Now that was fun! Here are a few I came up with:

Pam Beesly Tolerates Her Boss Michael Scott by Jim Halpert
-A parody of Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots Pt.1 by The Flaming Lips

The Wind Cries Teri by Stanley Hudson
-A parody of The Wind Cries Mary by Jimi Hendrix

LittleKidLover by Jan Levenson
-A parody of Little Miss Lover by Jimi Hendrix

Hey Drew by Andy Bernard (written to himself, to help him stay calm after he finds out about Angela & Dwight)
-A parody of Hey Jude by The Beatles

All You Need Is Paper by Michael Scott
-A parody of All You Need Is Love by The Beatles

Sabotage by Andy Bernard (after he got out of the lake)
-A parody of Sabotage by Beastie Boys

Bars by Meredith Palmer
-A parody of Cars by Gary Numan

The Nurse That Danced On Me by Michael Scott
-A parody of The Nurse That Loved Me by Failure

Schrute Oddity by Jim Halpert
-A parody of Space Oddity by David Bowie
