At the end of every year MAD Magazine publishes the MAD 20 – the twenty stupidest people, events, etc. of the last twelve months. So, sometime in the summer they start soliciting ideas from their writers. Below is a song parody I wrote that didn’t get picked. (Such is the life of a freelancer.) It ain’t great, but here it is anyway:
GHOSTBLUSTER!
(a parody by John Kovaleski, based on the song by Ray Parker Jr, ripped-off from a song by Huey Lewis)
If there’s something strange
Threatening your childhood,
Bet you’re going to bawl!
Ghostbluster!
A remake with girls?
That’ll never be good,
On the web you’ll scrawl,
Ghostbluster!
I ain’t afraid to boast,
In hateful comments that I post.
If misogyny is running through your head.
Chicks got such gall!
Ghostbluster!
An invisible fear spewed out in threads.
They ain’t got no balls!
Ghostbluster!
I ain’t afraid to be gross,
Cuz my opinions matter the most.
They don’t need an overhaul!
Ghostbluster!
We know you’re all alone,
While you bitch and moan,
Yet you’re still gonna see
Ghostbusters!
