Straits- with apologies to Mark Knopfler- don't sue me!).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(funky intro music)
i want my, i want my
i want my D-eity

look at them assholes, that's the way you do it
get your religion on the ol' TV
that ain't workin', that's the way you do it
money for nothin' approved tax-free
now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
lemme tell ya, them guys ain't dumb
maybe get a camera on your puffy fat face
if you get L. Ron Hubbard on your thumb

[chorus]
we got installed thought transceivers
custom religion- delivery!
we gotta push this dianetics
we gotta get it on all their TVs!

see L. Ron Hubbard with the alien and the makup
yeah buddy, that's his real hair
that L. Ron Hubbard got his own jet airplane
that L. Ron Hubbard he's a millionaire

[chorus]
i got my installed thought receiver
custom religion: i'm ready!
oh boy i love this $cientology
i gotta make it to O.T. Three!

i forgot how the rest of the song goes.
you get the idea.

hey, did you write this or did one of the members of Tool write it?... or,
who wrote it? i like the lyrics, but i guess i'm a bit disappointed that
they'd take on the (sort of) Weird Al Yankovic thing. SO, please, nobody get
too mad at me, I just think it's not like Tool to do that, either that or I
don't know Tool as well as you.

<Snipped more good stuff>

That's perfect.
This is what i've always wanted to do with my life. I've been parodying
songs for as long as i can remember.. just so happens that Wierd Al got
there and made a living at it before I could, so i lost interest early on,
but I do it in my head constantly, whenever i hear a song on the radio that
I don't immediately appreciate in some way, i begin thinking in terms of
mocking or parodying it..

One time (and i'm sure you can find it in the Deja archives), i did a parody
of Stinkfist called 'Trenchfist' here in AMT, right around the time of the
Columbine shootings.. it didn't go over well here, but it was very 'on
target'.

Dude, I am so fucking amused by this, I nearly wet myself... Thank you.

Of course I had to go to fucking deja to see it, but funny shit
nonetheless.

well, i wrote it after being inspired by Horse and his (original)
song. it is really just a rip-off of "Money For Nothing" by the dire
straits- a line for line rip-off to be honest, and some of the lyrics
are directly stolen from "money for nothing". i just changed parts to
fit the "how i became a $cientologist" story. it was very Weird
Al-ish, i'm sure Tool would never write something as silly as this, it
was just a toke, er... a joke:)

"Aenima"

I want my, Spanish fly
I smell my B.M. cheese

Look in that asshole, that's the way you spread it
stick you finger, coated heavy grease
That ain't pokin, that's the way you smell it
laid in thick on the B. M. cheese
Now that dont smell bad, that's how you insert it
lemme tell ya, them holes ain't numb
maybe put some K-Y on your middle finger
maybe get a dingleberry on your thumb.

We got to forestall prostate lesions
custom bowel reconstruction
we gotta bust up the evil cancer
got to move that colon disease


etc.

Couldn't resist:

HÆppy Ælf

Look at them Yoyos, that's the way you do it
Play a sitar in a hollow tree
We love working, we're all baking cookies
we work for Keebler and our shit ain't free.

We got to bake those microwave muffins
custom shortbread with artificial sweeteners
We got to move these disgusting niblets
Cuz that's what happy little elves do!
That ain't workin, that's the way we do it
lemme tell you we're happy elves
maybe get a pistol and shoot Mr. Peppridge
fill our cookies with his guts, on supermarket shelves

(bowel) Moova moova

The little faggot with the piercings and the elf shoes
yea buddy, that's zippy the elf
the little faggot got his own FBI informant
the little faggot runs a Columbian cartel.

we're all happy little corporate elves
custom drawn in a Taiwan animation sweat shop
that ain't workin, just ask Kathy Lee
That's what little elves are here for, slavery

... oh shit, stop me
