Derailed song lyrics: the game

Thread Games
1

A simple and diverting little game here - start with some real song lyrics and then, at a suitably amusing point, continue the lyrics in a way that you (and hopefully others) find funny.

The continuation doesn’t have to be (and probably won’t be) in verse or rhyme, but it would be helpful to differentiate between the actual lyrics and your continuation so I suggest putting the real lyrics in italics. Also, the game will likely work better if you choose more popular songs, but if you pick something really obscure it might be worth identifying the song.

Here’s an example.

I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day…

…but the medication is really helping, and the doctor thinks I’ll be able to go home soon.

Loving you is easy 'cause you’re beautiful…

…If you were ugly, I’d have to work at it. I might even need paying. I’m just saying, here.

3

Your butt is mine
Gonna tell you right
Just show your face
In broad daylight
I’m telling you
On how I feel
Gonna hurt your mind
Don’t shoot to kill
Come on

… Ain’t that Leaving Neverland doc nailed my ass, who’s bad?

Since this is a game played in the thread itself, rather than commentary on some other game, it fits better in the Thread Games forum. Moving.

I’ve got you under my skin

I’ve seen several doctors about you, but you’re still there.

*I’m looking through you, where did you go
I thought I knew you, what did I know
You don’t look different, but you have changed
I’m looking through you, you’re not the same *

“I wanna hold your hand…”

But I don’t know where it’s been…

“Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie”
These words came low and mournfully
From the pallid lips of a youth who lay
On the bloody ground at the close of day

…Prop me up beside the jukebox when I die.

Every little tree seems to whisper Louise,
I’m going insane cause they’re all whispering Louise

10

Home, home on the range,
Where the deer and the antelope play.

Watch where you’re walking.

Police walked in for Jimmy Jazz …

… they shot him forty-one times, then saw he only had a cell phone.

Oops - my bad. That’s where I meant to put it. Thank you.
What it all comes down to
Is that everything’s gonna be fine, fine, fine
'Cause I’ve got one hand in my pocket, and…

…eurgh, I’ve put a tissue through the wash…

13

Baby, this is what you came for
Lightning strikes every time she moves
And everybody’s watching her…

I see the bad moon arising
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightnin’
I see bad times today

Don’t go around tonight
Well, it’s bound to take your life
There’s a bathroom on the right

15

Maybe it’s because I’m a Londoner that I…

…can’t afford a house.

16

All we are is dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

But it’s a dry dust, so we have that going for us, which is nice.

There’s a lady who’s sure
All that glitters is gold

And her name is Mrs. Thurston Howell, III

18

Sun is shinin’ in the sky
There ain’t a cloud in sight
It’s stopped rainin’ everybody’s in a play

But this is Florida and that will all be changing in five minutes

19

Gee, it’s great after bein’ out late
Walkin’ my baby back home
Arm in arm over meadow and farm

Stalking my ex-old lady back home.

Yep, an 8-pack of turn tables and a 4-pack of mics. It was such a good deal I couldn’t pass it up. Costco had a coupon.
