Author's note: This is a parody based on Ed Sheeran's "Don't" about the dramatic relationship you have (or at least I have) with those songs you like until they are stuck in your head all the freaking time. I did make a recording of myself singing this, but decided I like you guys too much to subject you to that kind of torture. :P).
I heard this song,
late one night
At first I was thinking that the beat is tight
But I know I don’t wanna listen to another
mistake
I fall for
good songs knowing that they’ll get overplayed
But then I dance around
So I turn it up loud
I reckon this one’s at
least better than the other hits now
So I played it one time, then two or three
more
Then I put it on pause 'til I got kinda bored
I stayed away for days until I heard it again
I said that now I really think this is a jam
Maybe it could fit into my iTunes top 10
Whether it’s for homework or just hanging with
friends
Should be in between my ears 'til I go to bed
Baby, all I wanted was that song lodged in my
head back then
I’m singing
Ah na na na
Chorus
Don’t play that damn
song
It’s stuck in my head
All over again
I don't wanna hear it now
Oh na na na
Don’t play that damn song
It’s hurting my lobes
Plays on overload
I don't wanna hear it now
Oh na na na na
For a couple weeks I
Only wanna hear it
I’m grooving through my day with it stuck in
my speakers
Before a radio was the only way to hear it
Now it’s streaming in my head, I love the way
I’m moving
Singing in the shower
All over the house like a diva
My brain never wants to stop, I guess I don't
want to either
But songs like this, they all end up the same
way
Four stations, yet
it’s all they play
And those songs they always drive you crazy
now
But maybe you’ll get
nostalgic after five years somehow
I'd rather put on a song
I like that isn’t played out
Oh I think that was my turn
Well I’ll be missing
it now
Wish my brain would
cut it out
The way that lines crawl
down
Into my grey matter How?
I’m so confused about
How I can get stuff
done while I’m stuck here singing
Oh na na na…
[Chorus:]
Don’t play that damn song
It’s stuck in my head
All over again
I don't wanna hear it now
Oh na na na
Don’t play that damn song
It’s hurting my lobes
Plays on overload
I don't wanna hear it now
Oh na na na na
doo bee doo in my head once more
I don't even know what I liked before
Now it’s grating on my eardrums
Tried to tell my mind that
I don’t even know what you do this for
I never wanted this to be next
You just really need to try out more songs,
that’s all
I Never thought a tune could be a threat
Until it interfered
with every sense, of course
It’s not like I’d see him on tour
I don’t wanna hear his voice for a year or
four
These earworms hooking
you into musical commitment
It used to be so much fun and I thought it was
different
By the thousandth play I realize I don’t like
it
It's a bit cliche and it sucks if I'm honest
All this time God knows I'm singing
Oh na na na
[Chorus]
Don’t play that damn song
It’s stuck in my head
All over again
I don't wanna hear it now
Oh na na na
Don’t play that damn song
It’s hurting my lobes
Plays on overload
I don't wanna hear it now
Oh na na na na
Wow! I can never seem to write a song, and this just made me want to write more and more! The lyrics are spot on, and the rhymes are tight. Plus, this is one of those songs that I'm going to be singing over and over again as well! You perfectly summed up what I feel every single time I'm listening to the radio and a song comes up for the tenth time that day. Job well done!
Wow, this made me laugh and totally reflects my feelings on certain songs! It also fit really well with the original song, it didn't seem forced or out of place. I could sing along to it in my head with the original beat without it seeming strange. I really like the way you put this together, and I enjoy the topic you chose. I must ask, do you not like the song it came from? Also, I'd love to hear the recording of you singing it, if you feel like posting it!
I give it a 10/10. Good job!
Haha, this made me laugh honestly, but what good parody doesn't? I've read some parodies on here, and other sites written by people that aren't "professional", and they usually suck. This is really good! I didn't see any grammar mistakes, and everything fits well together, so my only feedback is you should try writing another parody! (If you don't already write them frequently) This one is really funny. Good job!
