NEW FILK: A response to Jon Coulton's hit song

[thatcrazycajun]

Maybe it's because I saw Shaun of the Dead at Chez Wynne-March last week, or maybe I'm just bored silly with work, but...

RE: YOUR ZOMBIE ASS!
Music: "If I Only Had A Brain" by Harold Arlen (orig. lyrics by E. Y. Harburg) from the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer motion picture The Wizard of Oz (1939)
Parody Lyrics: Matt G. Leger
Inspired by the song "Re: Your Brains," music/lyrics by Jonathan Coulton

(Bob)
We know you're in there, Thomas;
You've tried to gun and bomb us
And left some messy stains.
(Whistling)
What's the sense in all this mayhem?
Things would be so nice this A.M.
If you'd let us eat your brains!

(Tom)
I'm dead if you all fight me
And worse yet if you bite me,
So my door stays in chains!
(Whistling)
There is no open question;
My head's not for your digestion--
I won't let you eat my brains!

I got your e-mail, Bob;
You used to be quite decent at your job,
But since you went and joined the undead mob
You're just a mean and hungry slob!

I've food enough for months here
So all your groans and grunts here
Are causing me no pains;
(whistling)
No amount of your persuasion
Will convince me your invasion
Is at all good for my brains!

Keep clawing at the glass;
I appreciate you tried to show some class,
But my survival dictates you not pass
So all of you can kiss my ass!

Don't bother using reason;
It isn't human season
To feast on my remains.
(Whistling)
If you get in past the lock-off
My shotgun will blow your block off—
So just try and eat my brains!

OMG! That is just fucking BRILLIANT!!! If it wasn't for it being sung by two guys, I'd drive to visit you and we could record this. This HAS to be recorded. Wow. If you need help, let me know. Great. Love it. Kick ass!

Thank you! Well, you could do the whistle parts... :-) (I can't whistle to save my skinny white Cajun ass, and never have been able to since childhood; tried and tried, just couldn't get the hang of it.)

Great job! I want to hear this sooner rather than later.

Love it! *G*
(And it's a trivial thing, but thanks for including both of us in the house name! Things like that generally get overlooked, and I just appreciate counting too. *hug*)
