I really hate the song Piano Man

Recommended Posts

I couldn't let this die without asking this question:
Is it the song or the lyrics you don't like, if it's the lyrics there's always this version: :)
Weird Al Yankovic - Spiderman Lyrics
(Parody of "Piano Man" by Billy Joel)

Poor Peter Parker was pitiful
Couldn't have been any shier
Mary Jane still wouldn't notice him
Even if his hair was on fire

But then one day he went to that science lab
That mutated spider came down
Oh and now Peter crawls over everyone's walls
And he's swingin' all over town

La la la didy dah
La la lily da da dum

Sling us a web you're the Spiderman
Sling us a web tonight
'Cause we're all in the mood for a hero now
And there's evil-doers to fight

Now Harry the rich kid's a friend of his
Who horns in on Mary Jane
But to his great surprise
It seems she prefers guys
Who can kiss up-side down in the rain

"With great power comes great responsibility"
That's the catch phrase of old Uncle Ben
If you missed it, don't worry they'll say the line
Again and again and again

La la la didy dah
La la didy da da dum

Now Norman's a billionaire scientist
Who never had time for his son
And then somthin' went screwee
And before you knew
He was trying to kill everyone

Then he'd ridin' around on that glider-thing
And he'd throw in that weird pumpkin bomb
Yes, he's wearin' that dumb Power Rangers mask
But he's scarier without it on

Sling us a web you're the Spiderman
Sling us a web tonight
'Cause you're brave and you're strong and so limber now
But where'd you come up with those tights

It's a pretty sad day at the funeral
Norman Osbourne has bitten the dust
And I heard Harry said he wants Spiderman dead
Ah but his buddy Pete he can trust

Oh and M.J. is all hot for Peter now
Ah but Peter he just shuts her down
Mary Jane don't you cry, you can give it a try
Again when the sequel comes around

La la la didy dah
La la didy da da dum

Sling us a web you're the Spiderman
Sling us a web tonight
'Cause we all sure could use us a hero now
We think that you'll do alright

(ends with harmonica and piano)
Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting
If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

The stupid radio station is playing it again right now. I'm gonna go wander the building for a few minutes. God this song sucks.



At least it's the radio station... if it was Musak, it could get stuck in a loop over and over and over.... :P

From the Lost Prairie cock chorus:

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
time for the chorus to begin
there's Deathgrip standing next to me
staring down at the songs that we'll sing

He says "John can we sing us that drinking song
I'm not really sure how it's sung
But it's long and it's loud and I'd sing it right now
If I only wasn't so drunk"

la la la de di da
la da de di da da dum

"Sing us a song you're the chorus guys
sing us a song tonight
cause we're here for the songs and the alcohol
and you've got us feeling all right"

Mad John in the front is a friend of mine
He gets all his jumps for free
and he's yelling at Big John who wants to get in on
the jump at the Lang Brewery

He says "Bill I believe this is killing me"
as the smile ran away from his face
"Well I'm sure that I could run an orchestra
If I could get out of eighth grade"

Now Fubs is an freefalling wireman
who never had time for a life
and he's talking with Amy who's still doing two-ways
and probably will be for life

Well Bonnie is chasing Canadians
and Fairchild is spilling his beer
Courtney and Star go to dive off the bar
wearing shirts that will soon disappear

It's a pretty good crowd for the 30th
and the DZO gives us a smile
cause he knows that it's us they've been coming to see
to forget about life for a while

And the chorus sounds like an argument
and the portajohns all smell like beer
So we stand near the bar and we sing to the stars
And think "Man what are we doing here?"

Sing us a song you're the chorus guys
sing us the songs you've made
cause we're here for the songs and the alcohol
and if you're lucky you might just get laid
