It’s Not So Nice When Someone Kills Your Song

TTTO Brooke Lunderville’s “It’s Just So Nice When Someone Knows Your Name”

I’d like like to be a singer on the radio or TV

It’s kinda nice to get some well deserved publicity

I could get arrested for doing something bad

Like hitting some young idiot who really got me mad

It’s not so nice when someone kills your song

When they molest the tunes you wrote

This kind of stuff, it gets my goat

See, it’s not nice when someone kills your song

I’d like to write a song that filker friends will hum along

And they would all enjoy it so they’ll want to write a new song

We filkers like a challenge, we want to feel so deep

This parody’s so obvious, I wrote it in my sleep

It’s not so nice when someone kills your song

When people twist the words around

‘till the original can’t be found

See, it’s not nice when someone kills your song

I’d like for Weird Al Yankovich a parody to write

So I can hear the parody on radio in the night

And frat boys whose fine motor skills have been dissolved by beer

Would find it quite the clever bit, when it gets in their ear

It’s not so nice when someone kills your song

And people sing the parodies

To nice and bouncy melodies

See, it’s not nice when someone kills your song

I’d like for big name filkers to make hash out of my stuff

It would be such a comfort, for such fame, it is enough

For some days you’ve got talent, and some days your stuff sucks so

But you can never go wrong with such a parody deluxe-o

It’s just so nice when someone kills your song

And you’ve got everlasting fame

“Kanef got me” you can proclaim

I mean, it’s nice when someone kills your song
