Make up your own jokes, but the punchline has to be a song tittle or lyric with at least one letter changed (but still recognizable as the lyric.)

Examples:

What was the name of the deleted scene from Dirty Dancing where the main character was gambling with the workers?  
Dice, Dice, Baby.

Did you hear about the heavy metal cover singer that got kicked off America’s Got Talent?  
He would do anything for love, but he won’t do Ratt.

That superhero movie is just terrible!  
Thor: what is it good for?

I woulda had checkmate in two moves if you didn’t put your piece on that one square!

Man this is bothering me, I gotta rewrite this:

“All right Mr. Gollum, if you don’t tell Detective Stabler and me exactly what you did between 9pm and 12 last night, you’re going down for the rape and murder of those two dead barefoot gay midget prostitutes.”

_Me drinks a whiskey drink, me drinks a vodka drink, me drinks a lager drink, me drinks a cider drink…_

“Yes, we pulled your ModorCard charges and saw that you were drinking heavily. We also have some witnesses who say you were jumping around and acting crazy.”

_Me sings the songs that remindings me of the good times…_

“Oh, karaoke was it? We’ll have to verify that. The bartender says you left at 11. Where did you go?”

_ME PISSINGS! ME PISSINGS!_

A guy two steps away from reaching the top of Mt. Everest noticed his shoe heel was coming loose. He decided to go on, but the loose heel came off with the next step and he fell backward, rolling down the mountain.

Two other guys climbing up the mountain warched his roll past them. The first one asked “What was that all about?” The second one said

I don’t know, but I heard him singing “You picked a fine time to leave me, loose heel.”
