When I was in 7th, 8th, and 9th grade I used to sit around all day with my friends writing song parodies based on the pop music of the day.
If you ever listen to Don Imus, BTW, he had a hilarious parody several years ago of the same Dylan song with lyrics about OJ Simpson.

Well, with that particular Dylan song, which is sung at such a fast pace and IMHO loaded with lyrics (much like the pace of We Didn't Start The Fire by Billy Joel-Hey that's a good one too  )it seems like it'd take a lot of thought. Of course, you realize with all these lyrics we are making our favorite movie into somewhat of a comedy??? I may give it a shot later (too early for me), but don't think I'll surpass you. It's fun though. TIS

I found the Dylan/OJ lyrics on the 'net....
I need an aspirin, watching Johnny Cochran, OJ dopey grin, lookin' like a mannequin. F. Lee Bailey suckin' on his spittle, Acting non-commital, tryin' for acquittal.
Look out Juice, they'll cook your goose ! Jury's hand-picked for a not guilty verdict. Need a lot of rhetoric, prosecutor lunatic. But the man in the buckskin jacket on CNN Wants to see your butt Sittin' in the state pen !!!!
Holy Toledo, look at Judge Ito. Trying to torpedo Robert Shapiro. Marcia Clark the DA; "Objection, Hearsay !" Disregard all the testimony that you heard today ! Look out Juice, keeps tryin' to vamoose, Drive thru McDonald's, Happy Meal with Kato, Got on an airplane goin' to Chicago. Time to surrender, but OJ's just a no-show; Goin' down to Mexico with A.C. in the Bronco.
Listen to the sermon, got to determine Is Officer Furhman lying racist vermin? Watching Larry King, he don't know anything. Faye Resnick on, selling books, man, it's sickening. Look out Juice, all that wife abuse. Vapid lotus eaters, and all the bottom feeders, Take a listen to the 911 call that proves that he beat her. Yet the tabloid press more concerned with her Akita.
What's the jury think of that bloody glove, bloody hat, Blood on your socks, boy, you should have found a laundromat. Who's gonna testify to OJ's alibi? Little Rosa Lopez, what can she verify? Look out, Juice, evidence been introduced- This ain't gonna turn out to be your lucky day ! Blood in the alleyway's got your DNA ! Number 32, there's a penalty flag in that play. If I was you OJ, I think I'd start to pray !!
Look out Juice, they'll cook your goose ! Jury's hand-picked for a not guilty verdict. Need a lot of rhetoric, prosecutor lunatic. But the man in the buckskin jacket on CNN wants see your butt Sittin' in the state pen

Sung to the tune of Feel Like I'm Fixing To Die Rag (Next Stop Vietnam) (With apologies to Country Joe & the Fish)
Come on all of you button men Don Corleone needs your help again He needs some kisses and lots of hugs Since he turned down Sollozzo and his deal on drugs So pick up your guns and hit the street It's gonna be really neat
(CHORUS) And it's one, two, three What are we fighting for? Don't ask me 'cause I don't know My Capo said "I gotta go" And it's five, six, seven Now it's mattress time We're gonna kill 'em all you see The heads of Five Families
Now come on Rocco, here's your chance Kill a boss and you'll advance Let's go Neri, don't be shy Kill Barzini and don't ask why And Cicci, here's a job for you We're gonna kill Moe Greene, too
(CHORUS)
Let's go hitmen and move fast We don't want this war to last There's plenty of money to be made When we all join in the narcotics trade Give McCluskey some veal on a dish He'll soon be sleeping with the fish
(CHORUS)
Barzini, Tattaglia, Carlo too We know what we have to do Stracchi, Moe Greene, and Cuneo All on the list; They have to go I don't wanna kill everyone, you see Just my enemies.
(CHORUS). . . . . (Here are the original lyrics. You have to be from the "Woodstock Generation" to remember this song)
Come on all of you big strong men Uncle Sam needs your help again He's got himself in a terrible jam Way down yonder in Viet Nam So put down your books and pick up a gun We're gonna have a whole lotta fun
(CHORUS) And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for Don't ask me I don't give a damn, The next stop is Viet Nam And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates There ain't no time to wonder why, whoopee we're all gonna die
Come on generals, let's move fast Your big chance has come at last Now you can go out and get those reds 'Cause the only good commie is the one that's dead And you know that peace can only be won When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come
(CHORUS)
Come on wall street don't be slow Why man this war is a go-go There's plenty good money to be made By supplying the army with the tools of its trade Let's hope and pray that if they drop the bomb, They drop it on the Viet Cong
(CHORUS)
Come on mothers throughout the land Pack your boys off to Viet Nam Come on fathers don't hesitate Send your sons off before it's too late And you can be the first ones on your block To have your boy come home in a box
(CHORUS)

Sung to the tune of Maria from West Side Story
McCluskey I just met a man named McCluskey He punched me in the jaw Outside the hospital door That Cop
McCluskey I just met a cop named McCluskey I suddenly I knew I'd have to kill him too For Pop

To the tune of Sinatra's New York, New York Please don't spread the news It's a secret you see I have two guys I must kill, then I'm off to Sicily
To the tune of the Beatle's Hey Jude
Hey Sal Don't be afraid You must die 'cause You are a traitor

Is this real? Because they should definitely be considering hiring people from this board to be the lyricists!

With Geary in Fredo's Brothel
|
This is proof positive I have no life. This one is for the true fanatics only. It is to the tune of Bob Dylan's song "ISIS"
I married Kay on ther fifth day of May. But I could not hold on to her very long. "In five years legitimate," that I did say, Then the Roth hit try made me sing a new song.
I went to Miami, told Roth "it was Frank." And then up to New York to tell Frank "It was Hyman" In Havana Batista was fleeing from Castro; And I found out that Fredo the traitor was lyin'
When I got back to Tahoe my boy's toy car was icy That my family was lost my mama denied. I owned Senator Geary but the cost was too pricey And the Senate Comittee men told me I'd lied.
I returned to the compound and I confronted Fredo Who first said he knew little, then complained he was smart. Then we got Frankie's brother quick, like a tornado; And his appearance gave Five Angels quite a big start.
They had no choice at all except for to clear me Then I insulted Tom H. but I told him my plan. "Meet Hymnan Roth's plane, dont let Fredo come near me; Let him sleep with the fishes when he utters 'Amen."
KAYYYY O KAYYYY you mystical child! What drives me toyou is what drives me insane! I still can remember the way that you smiled! In New York in the forties way before all this pain.
"Io sono stanco, sono imbigliato, and I wan't everyone here to know, there ain't gonna be no trouble from me..Don Corleone..Cicc' a port!"
"I stood in the courtroom like a fool."
"I am Constanza: Lord of the idiots."
