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.
