Parody of “1985” by Bowling for Soup
With new lyrics by Steven “Yoshi” Reich ([email protected])

Woo hoo hoo!
Woo hoo hoo!
Couldn’t resist the call
Of “gotta catch ‘em all”
One hour a day
Couldn’t drag you away
Your list was down to four
Then they made hundreds more
Had to take a break, man
What happened to your plan?

You were gonna be a master
You were gonna go so far
You were gonna drive to class
In a yellow Pika-car
Your fellow devotees are nowhere to be seen
Look at your college life
And nothing, has been...
all right since

Ash Ketchum, his momma
Way before Carvahna
There was Mewtwo and Misty
And what happened to Togepi?
Your two friends, from high school
They tell you that you’re uncool
Cuz you’re still preoccupied
With 19, 19, 1999

Woo hoo hoo!
(1999)
Woo hoo hoo!

You saw all the evos
You knew every line
Marowak, Pidgeotto
Even for Arcanine
Had Alakazam
Not a big Gardevoir fan
Thought you'd make a stand
On the leader of Viridian

Where's the Lickitung, what’s a Shaymin?
And who's the other girl that's hanging with a penguin?
When did that (‘ol) Zubat become Crobat?
Whatever happened to Mankey, Fearow,
(still beats Yu-Gi-Oh-ah)

Goldeen, Dratini
Way before Happiny
There was Staryu and Ritchie
And Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee
M2M was so cool
Now you feel like you’re a fool
Cuz you’re still preoccupied
With 19, 19, 1999

Woo hoo hoo!

Don’t have time, make them stop
What’s up with that frog that keeps jabbing Brock?
And when did Gary become a nice guy?
Please make this…stop, stop,
Ash: Stop!
(tick tick tick)
and bring back

Dewgong, and Hypno
Way before Monferno
There was Raichu and Starmie
And could they bring back Butterfree?
Those two kids behind you
They tell you to get a clue
Cuz you’re still preoccupied
With 1999

Woo hoo hoo!

(There was) Horsea, and Scyther
Way before Seviper (1999)
There was Psyduck and Goldeen
And movies still on the big screen (1999) (Woohoo)
Those two kids ignore you
You guess you’ll have to make do (1999)
But you’re still preoccupied
With 19, 19, 1999
 
Knowing the actual song by heart, this was THE BEST PARODY I HAVE EVER READ!!!!

Take that Weird Al!!!!

Kudos to you! I request that you must do more!

I don't know how you feel about metal, but they way you worked that, you could do wonders with the song "Crazy Train" by Ozzy Osbourne.

Excellent. There are some lines out of tune, but very nice.

EXAMPLE:Change Pidgeotto to Pidgeot.
 
Goodness, I made somone's signature. Someone on another forum volunteered to record this for me (he also said he'd do "Thnks fr the Mnphy")-still waiting.

Lol, it's just the Random Song Lyric of the Day. It'll be gone tomorrow! :tongue:

But I liked it, so I stuck it there for today!:wink:


Record it? Man, if you don't put that on youtube you'd do the WORLD an injustice!!!

The only reason I listened to the song or remotely liked it because I was born in 1985 xD

LOL. You told me, "You don't do American music. AT ALL. 0. Nada."

What happened? :lol:


It really is a must to listen to the actual song and read the parody simultaneously, it makes it that much better. Really!
 
I'll record it :Biggrin: i do guitar keyboard and drums. bass is for emo people, lol. even though i hav been labled emo once or twice... I should write a parody for nickleback's rockstar "pokemon master" i am so doin that 2morrow
 
yoshi1001, I vote you as the best parody songwriter at the PokeGym. I recall one of your songs being the first PokeGym parody I'd ever read.

EDIT: I think it was "Thanks for the Manaphy".

I really don't. 95% of my Ipod is Japanese Music.
Where "Sakura" by Nirgilis is the most listen to song ~_~;

But again this doesn't mean I live in a box where I don't kinda like
some American/English music. i really perfer not to go into it because I usually get mocked for
small amounts of English songs I have.

back on topic I love the parody, keep it up.
