"Gorilla On A-Capella" - Spoof of "Umbrella"

I'm back (Yes, already) with another spoof (Oh, how I love doing this!). Okay, it hasn't been really long since my last spoof - Hungry No More, but I really like doing this, and will be spoofing/parodying songs more often now! LOL.

And I had this song "Umbrella" in mind since long. But I really wasn't sure how I would make a spoof on it, and most importantly, what to title it!

At first, I had decided to title it "(You're My) Cinderella", but that title didn't ring any funny bells in my mind; besides, it would have been near impossible to create a comical situation with a title that sounded so mushy!

So, I heard "Umbrella" two nights ago (probably for the second time then, 'cause I'm not a R&B/Hip-Hop fan) and came up with "Gorilla On A-Capella".

"Gorilla On A-Capella" tells the tale of an aspiring Hip-Hop/R&B artist - Swingianna (don't ask me how I came up with that name; it was random :D) and her tryst with her (ex)boyfriend Lay-Z (a HUGE fan of Jay-Z)!

Lay-Z fell in love with Swingianna the first time he saw her in college. But when he learnt more about Swingianna's hygiene and food habits, and actually heard her sing, he decided to distance himself from her!

Crestfallen, Swingianna decides to change things and make Lay-Z regret his decision to leave her!

Sounds a little serious, doesn't it? :O

Lighten up! What follows next is here for you to read! :D

Without further ado, here's presenting to you, "Gorilla On A-Capella"!

Gorilla On A-Capella

[Lay-Z]
Ahuh Ahuh (Yea, Swingianna)
Ahuh Ahuh (Good girl gone nuts!)
Ahuh Ahuh (Take three... Action!)
Ahuh Ahuh
Whoa!

You come to my dorm
Stay away, you're a filthy skank
You come in with your trash-bag tramps
I know you're here to perform
on A-Capella
You see I'm the jet-setter
Got cheese tortillas on da platter
Yo! They gonna give you
Constipation, it's my Inspiration,
You think you gonna get away? (huh)
(Barf!)
Nay!
Lay-Z's outta here, time for a snack!
Li'l Miss Whiney, Swingianna where you at?

[Swingianna]
You heard me fart
It tore your world apart
I was in your dreams
But now you've gone so far
You kept me in the dark
I kept goin' to the bar
That's where you saw me flare
But now I just don't care...

Because

[Chorus]
When the lines rhyme, we’ll sing together
Told you I'll be on crack forever!
Off to Rehab, me, you wanted to send
I ain't no Winehouse; keep dreamin' my friend!
Now I'm whining more than ever
Know this couldn't have got no better!
I know you can't stand me, li'l fella
'Cause 'm a Gorilla on A-Capella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Gorilla On A-Capella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Gorilla On A-Capella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Gorilla On A-Capella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)

With botox and creams,
I try so hard to preen
You still don't see me twice
Now i'm gonna raise my price!
And when she dumps you down
You're gonna look a clown
Your heart for me will yank
Oh wait, I'm the filthy skank!

Because

[Chorus]
When the lines rhyme, we’ll sing together
Told you I'll be on crack forever!
Off to Rehab, me, you wanted to send
I ain't no Winehouse; keep dreamin' my friend!
Now I'm whining more than ever
Know this couldn't have got no better!
I know you can't stand me, li'l fella
'Cause 'm a Gorilla on A-Capella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Gorilla On A-Capella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Gorilla On A-Capella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Gorilla On A-Capella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)


Now you come into my dorm
Food's over, you can't go on
What do you think of me
You stink like a stale sushi
on crap
So go on, and get outta my door
Get hooked up with Beyonce once more...

Because

[Chorus]
When the lines rhyme, we’ll sing together
Told you I'll be on crack forever!
Off to Rehab, me, you wanted to send
I ain't no Winehouse; keep dreamin' my friend!
Now I'm whining more than ever
Know this couldn't have got no better!
I know you can't stand me, li'l fella
'Cause 'm a Gorilla on A-Capella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Gorilla On A-Capella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Gorilla On A-Capella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Gorilla On A-Capella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)


I'm whining (whining)
Oh Lay-Z, i'm Whining (whining)
C'mon, come near to me
Come near to me
I'm whining (whining)
Oh Lay-Z, i'm Whining (whining)
.......

As always, do tell me how you liked it! :D

you're insane!

Lay-Z!!?? OMG. I still can't stop laughing! :))
And why is food mentioned so often in your songs? I know why. Food-deprived kid!

Ok, like you said - lighten up. I'm kidding! :)

Totally love this, and the story told in the song. Your best work so far! Beats even Hungry No More!
