Divers Song Parodies

[The Chairman]

OK, OK, that’s too easy… we need some harder challenges like The Nutcracker suite… or the Guilliame Tell Overture! Maybe we should consider and opera, like “Die Valkurie!”. Wagner would like that, I think…

With my personal apologies to Huey, and all you News fans… And ANYONE who liked “I want a new drug:

I wanna new tank…
One that’ll last all day
No, it can’t weigh very much,
Or get in my way!

I wanna new tank…
With a regulator too
One that won’t rust or crack,
And is on the top of Rodale’s review!

Its gotta be negative buoyant!
And fit my new BC!
And it will never run out of air,
When I’m in the deep blue sea…..
Down in the deeeep, deeeep, bluuuuuuuuue sea!

I wanna a new tank…
With a built in light!
And a big motor on the back!
So I can cruise the reefs at night!

I wanna new tank…
I think I want it green!
No, it can’t cost a lot!
Its gotta be a cheap machine!!!

Its gotta be negative buoyant!
And fit my new BC!
And it will never run out of air,
When I’m in the deep blue sea…..
Down in the deeeep, deeeep, bluuuuuuuuue sea!
Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep, Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep Blue blue blue blue sea!!!
Way down, oh yeah WAY WAY WAY down in that deep blue blue blue blue sea… yeah yeah…
With you you oh baby, oh oh oh oh yeah yeah yeah yeah!!!!!!!

(I hope you like the “jam” part… I just had to run out of jelly, wouldncha know?

:tease:

LOVED IT! I can see you throwing your head back & forth, playing that air guitar (or regulator) singing...Down in the deeeep, deeeep, bluuuuuuuuue sea!
Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep, Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep Blue blue blue blue sea!!!
Way down, oh yeah WAY WAY WAY down in that deep blue blue blue blue sea… yeah yeah…
With you you oh baby, oh oh oh oh yeah yeah yeah yeah!!!!!!!

You GO BABY!

As usual, the Dweebster will bow to your superior judgement (or is it taste)? I think you're right-SOMEONE (TexasMike) should come up with (TexasMike) an entire lyrical masterpiece (TexasMike) for The 12 Days of Christmas. Any (TexasMike) suggestions?

I wrote this for one of our newbies about to take their OW... OK, OK, it's a tad flaky, but I reprint it for youse guys... (It seemed to have killed the thread though!!! Hope it doesn't do that here)

A song for your OW class...(With apologies to Paul "Rhymin'" Simon, and all fans of his song "Kodachrome")

"Scuba Diving"

When I think back on all the crap I missed in Open Water...
Its a wonder I can dive at all!
But since my lack of education hasn't killed me yet...
I really like diving on the wall!

SCUBA-Di-i-i-ving
Give me that O-pen Water...
Let me swim like an Otter
Let me see the world
From forty metres deep.... OH YEAH!
I like all the fishies...
and all those mermaid kissies
And the narc,
When I dive just a bit too deep! Wo, Yeah!!!

So now diving is almost all I want to do now...
Spending all my money just as fast as I can!
And meeting all of these crazy people on the ScubaBoard, Wow!
Guess that I'm a real Underwater Fan!!!

(refrain)

Hello Narcness, my old friend,
You’ve come to mess with me again.
Because my depth was softly creeping,
And my computer began beeping,
And to rise, which was newbie in my brain,
Still remains..
With in the sound, of narcness.

I should ascend, instead I stayed,
Now a Deco stop is made,
I should have heeded all of the warnings,
Because this safety stop is so boring,,
And the level of my narcness slowly falls,
Then nature calls…
Within the sound of Narcness…

 

[Iguana Don]

gimme more, gimme more!

 

[scubadweeb]

Excuse me, Mr. ID - We haven't heard from you regarding your wonderous lyrical ability. I know you well enough to know that you would come up with something that NONE OF US ever would! C'mon! Your turn!

Thanks, but as noted in my original post, the credit for the "ah's" (and the idea) actualy goes to Wierd Al Yankovik. "Another One Rides the Bus" is one of my favorites. All I did was put diver lyrics to Wierd Al's parody.

Another One Rides the Bus
(as composed by Wierd Al Yankovik)
(Another One Bites The Dust/Queen/1980)

Ridin' in a bus down the boulevard,
And the place was pretty packed.
Couldn't find a seat, so I had to stand,
With the perverts in the back.
It was smellin' like a locker room.
There was junk all over the floor.
We're already packed in like sardines,
But we're stoppin' to pick up more.
Look out!

Another one rides the bus-ah.
Another one rides the bus-ah.
And another comes on,
And another comes on.
Another one rides the bus-ah.
Hey!
He's gonna sit by you.
Another one rides the bus.

There's a suitcase pokin' me in the ribs.
There's an elbow in my ear.
There's a smelly old bum standin' next to me.
Hasn't showered in a year.
Well, I think I'm missin' a contact lens.
I think my wallet's gone.
And I think this bus is stoppin' again,
To let a couple more freaks get on.
Look out!

Another one rides the bus-ah.
Another one rides the bus-ah.
And another comes on,
And another comes on.
Another one rides the bus-ah.
Hey!
He's gonna sit by you.
Another one rides the bus.

Another one rides the bus.
Another one rides the bus--ow!
Another one rides the bus--hey, hey!
Another one rides the bus--hey-y-y-y!

The window doesn't open, and the fan is broke,
And my face is turnin' blue.
I haven't been in a crowd like this
Since I went to see The Who.
Well, I should'a got off a couple miles ago,
But I couldn't get to the door.
There isn't any room for me to breathe.
Now we're gonna pick up more, yeah!

Another one rides the bus-ah.
Another one rides the bus-ah.
And another comes on,
And another comes on.
Another one rides the bus-ah.
Hey!
He's gonna sit by you.
Another one rides the bus.

How 'bout another song? I really enjoyed the way you exemplified the "ahs"! You know;

Another one boards the boat-ah.
Another one boards the boat-ah.

NetDoc-
I KNOW you have a plethora of songs in that dissimilar mind of yours - can we have one more?


Liquid-
Just one more...please? AC/DC maybe....

Ontario Diver-
How ‘bout the Partridge Family? Bet you could come up with some profound lyrics for that group?!

Speaking of song parodies, recent events reminded me of a song I only caught part of once many years ago during the Iranian hostage crises. It was to the tune of "Barbara-Ann" but instead they were singing "Bomb Iran". (Frankly, I hope we find that they too have been harboring those &*^%$#@!). I'll see if I can find it somewhere. Maybe the lyrics can be updated a bit, even turn it into a dive tune.
