I hope this is ok to post here. I’m not a very creative or artistic person. But, I give you this, to the tune of “Welcome to the Jungle” by Guns n Roses

Welcome to my Tungsten baby  
We got density  
You can smash anything you like  
But don’t try to machine

I came up with this one when my kids were small, so…twenty years ago? My magnum opus. 😊  
To the tune of Do You Hear What I Hear:

Said the cat to the people everywhere  
Do you see what I have?  
Underneath my tail everyone  
Do you see what I have?  
It’s pink, it’s pink  
And it doesn’t stink  
'Cause I wash it with my tongue  
'Cause I wash it with my-y tongue

To a Walmart ad ditty:

Walmart, Walmart the Discount city…  
(I added)  
When you walk in they pinch your T\_\_\_y

Crude, but that all I gots. 😊

Some of you need to go [Am I Right](http://www.amiright.com/) and have your parodies published online. It’s a lot of fun and fun to see others parodies.

Kayla, when she was about twelve, came up with a Katy Perry parody:

_I kissed a squirrel, and I liked it  
The taste of his acorn Chapstick  
I kissed a squirrel, just to try it  
Hope my chipmunk don’t find out  
It felt so wrong, it felt so right,  
I’ll sleep in his tree tonight_

I felt I had to contribute:

_I can’t even pronounce his name  
Sounds like chitter-chitter  
He’s my experimental game  
With woodland critters_

Jingle Bells, Batman smells  
A thousand miles away  
Blows his nose in Cheerios  
And eats them every day

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells  
Santa Claus is dead  
Rudolph took a .45  
And shot him in the head

Dashing through the snow  
In a one-door Chevrolet  
O’er the streets we go  
Skidding all the way  
Hubcaps flying off  
When we make a turn  
If we could just get a job  
Some money we could earn

Jingle Bells, Batman smells  
Robin laid an egg  
The Batmobile lost a wheel  
And the Joker got away

Jingle Bells, Santa Claus  
Is suffering from stress  
They foreclosed on his factory  
His sleigh they repossessed

(Last verse borrowed from JibJab’s “Santa Claus”)

Remember the old Robert Plant song Tall Cool One?  
Original lyrics:  
_You stroll, you jump, you’re hot and you tease’Cause I’m your tall cool one, and I’m built to please._  
_Lighten up baby I’m in love with you!_

We turned it into an anti-smoking song:  
_When you smoke, I choke, I cough and I wheeze, cause when you light one up baby my stomach starts to queeze_  
_Light one up baby and I’m done with you!_
