Stalker vs Whiner Parodies

At our most recent house concert... Randy Sabien talked about how many songs can fit into the Stalker or Whiner category... Country, Blues, Pop... no genre is clean.  It's been on my mind until I started to think about playing with a parody of a few of these to make them MORE extreme and MORE modern... Sorry Carole King (I feel the Earth Move)  and Jim Croce (Operator)... I did find that Carole King's was very stalker like without much changes (can women stalk?)

Stalker


I feel the earth move when I look for you.
I see your page tumble down, 
I see my hand start to trembling
Whenever you’re found

Ooh Baby when I see your face
In my timeline you are tagged.
Oh darling, I can’t stand it
When you look at me that way.

I feel the earth move when I look for you.
I see your page tumble down, 
I see my hand start to trembling
Whenever you’re found

Ooo darling I’ll get near you
And I’ll whisper our your name
I know my own emotions
Are something I just can’t tame.

I’ve just got to have you, baby, uh huh huh uh huh huh yeah

I feel the earth move when I look for you.
I see your page tumble down, 
I just lose control

to my very soul.

Whiner:


Hello Siri, could you help me find this girl
See the number on the napkin is all tattered
She was living in LaCrosse with old friend Ross
A gay guy she said really didn’t matter.

Isn’t that the way they say it goes, well forget all that
Look up that strip joint up in Bluff Siding
So I can just just call to tell them I’m coming for the show
I’ve overcome the blow, I’ve learned to miss her so
If only the dancer would could convince me of that
It just wasn’t real, so I wonder how she feels.

Hello Siri, could you help me find this girl
You see the number you just call was for pizza
There’s porn on my screen, and my phone froze up
I think a lot of her still, I thought we could hook up

Isn’t that the way they say it goes, well forget all that
Look up that strip joint up in Bluff Siding
So I can just just call to tell them I’m coming for the show
I’ve overcome the blow, I’ve learned to miss her so
If only the  dancer would could convince me of that;
It just wasn’t real, so I wonder how she feels.

Listen to the song here.. 



Her soft petals of grace
Born from seeds planted in black dirt
Ages and ages and ages ago
Fed by the showers weeks earlier
But hardened by the cold

Her soft baby flesh
Born from seeds planted an August night
Days months and years ago
Fed by love from family friends
But hardened with pain.

Her dark lovely eyes
Born from the seed of Atlantis
Lived eternal days of dancing 
Fed by the mountain streams
But hardened by jealousy

May you continue to bless us.

One last shot of whiskey


The glass is on the table
Just where you left it
Girl I’m strong and able
Could you give it a rest

Yep don’t give me started
You know I’m downhearted
The moment I farted
And you left me there
One last shot of Whiskey
Another night alone
I would tell you I’m lonely
If it would bring you home

My eyes were burning
And my stomach turning
I guess I'll won't learn
To control my gas

I feel like an ass
The lowest of class
I’ll plead for you back
My prettiest flower (Chorus)

Sure miss your cooking
The way you used cumin
I'm just way to human
So I'll live by myself.

One last shot of Whiskey
Another bowl of chili
Babe it sure gets lonely
And smelly around here (Chorus)

Vote


I first wrote:

Will it be where I land

Will it be where I stand

Are you there by my side

Make it be hand-in-hand

And with today's world filled with hate... the rest wrote itself. 

Please vote with love in your heart.
