Another silly prog parody

[progdirjim(Admin)]

I love writing in general. I love prog. And I love parody. I once posted a parody I wrote of Genesis' "Misunderstanding" - it's in the forums, you can search on it if interested. I think it's pretty funny.

In the shoutbox tonight, Asia came up, and I'm working on a parody of "Heat of the Moment". The chorus and first verse were ad libbed real time:

I never meant to write this song
Knew from the start that it was wrong
One thing led to another, it was dumb
And in my ass I jammed my thumb

It was the heat of the moment
Telling us to just make a buck
Heat of the moment
This ain't worth a fuck

I'll post again if I add to this, but it made me laugh and I hope it does you too...

It was the meat of the moment.......

Not bad Jim,

As long as you don't get the Kareoke track and start to record......

Why is everyone so down on Asia?

I really don't think everyone is "Down" on Asia per-see, I think it's more of a thing disapointment that such a great lineup, put out music that could really blow it out and they just don't! It's cool they play some old favorites but I think it makes them a target of exasperation.

Very funny, Jim.
BTW did Weird Al ever parody any prog?
If so it should be on the Moon.

You've never heard his Moody Blues parody "Bites of White Salmon/Latte Lament?", his YES parody "Owner of a Car that Fell Apart" or his Rush parody "Farewell to Don King"?

[thegooze]

Asia is Pop music not Prog. Kind of like ELO. This is a place to get away from that CARP. It just Stinks!

That is some funny stuff that just might blossom into a verse or two

I like Asia. There, I said it.

Oh, and Weird Al's "Chunky Fan," about a guy who only likes really hefty girls, was a great song.

He had white chocolate
And ladies by the ton
All dressed in XXLs
Models - he had none.

Ooooh, what a chunky fan he was.
Ooooh, what a chunky fan he was.

Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round!

ROFLMAO

I thought I knew Weird Al's stuff but I'll have to look up those tracks. Jim you have some catching up to do, to reach the Master. Saw him live last summer...catch Weird Al if you can...very entertaining.

[Yesspaz]

For the record, that's not a real Weird Al song.

Asia gave an open air concert here last night and played the usual mixture of old and new songs for 90 minutes. General opinion: main stream rock which sells. It's funny that such a lineup doesn't live up to the standards they used to set as individuals. In any case, we enjoyed it and had a great evening.
