Say Something (Parody of "Say Something" by A Great Big World as covered by Pentatonix)

(specifically this cover of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dYlvdLdK9w)

Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'll walk away, if you want me to
Anything I would've done for you
Say something I'm giving up on you

And I, am isolating

it's been three full years now

and yet just beginning

and I, am still trying to sing

I'm still fighting my way

but does it mean anything

Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'm sorry but I may need just a few
Anything, I would've done for you
Say something, I'm giving up on you

And I will swallow my pride

For sake of the show

Need I say goodbye

Say something, I'm giving up on you
(say something, say something, say something)
I'll walk away, if you need me to

(Say something, Say something, I'll)

Say something, I'm giving up on you

I'll walk away, if you want me to

Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'll walk away, if you need me to

Say, say something, I'm giving up on you

I'll walk away, just need ask me to 

Say something, I'm giving up on you

(Say something, I'm giving up)
I'll walk away, if you want me to

(if you want me to, oh if you want me to)
Anything, I would have done for you

Say something (say something), say something (say something), say something (say something), I'll
Say something, I'm giving up on you

Call Me (Parody of "Hold Me" by Savage Garden)

Parody of "Hold Me" by Savage Garden

Hey yeah
If we can't find our way out of these problems
Then maybe we don't need this

When we see some risk

Normally we'd take on some precautions

Decided not with COVID

I might need you to call me tonight
I might need you to say it's alright
I might need you to make the first stand
'Cos tonight I'm finding it hard to be your friend

Call me tonight
Say it's alright

Hey yeah
More than angry words you hate precautions
I hear you so loud
Well I wanna scream
Cause long covid has caused so much disabling
It's hard to comprehend

So tell me isn't healthiness
Worth more than not wearing a mask?
I'm willing to just walk away
Though it would break my heart

I've never been the praying kind
But lately I've been down upon my knees
Not looking for a miracle
Just a reason to believe

I might need you to call me tonight
I might need you to say it's alright
I might need you to make the first stand
Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your friend

Do you remember not long ago
We used say "together we can"
Boy things have changed now
You-say I don't live I exist

Just need to move on with our lives

Without fear

That's why the spread continues

Hey
If we can't find our way out of these problems
Then maybe we don't need this

When we see some risk

Normally we'd take on some precautions

Decided not with COVID

I might need you to call me tonight
I might need you to say it's alright
I might need you to make the first stand
Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your friend
Hold me tonight
I might need you to call it's alright
I might need you to make the first stand
Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your friend
Hold me tonight
Say it's alright
I might need you to call the first stand
Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your friend
Call  me tonight
Say it's alright
Ooooh oohhhh
Call  me tonight
Say it's alright
Ooooh Ooohhhh

JJ Abrams' Magic Boxes (made of ticky tacky)

(to the tune of Little Boxes)

Magic boxes in the story

Magic boxes made of mystery

Magic boxes in the story

Magic boxes all the same

There's a time one and a ghost one

and a search one and a conspiracy

and they're all completely empty

and they all serve just the same

And the people watching tv shows

all expect some answers

and they're all so disappointed

cause they all end just the same.

And the JJ yeah the Abrams

never answers any questions

cause they're all completely empty

and they all come out the same.

And they move on to the next one

and find out there's something else new

that they have to figure out now

that is a complete mystery

and the mystery never gets results

and it keeps on being unsolved

or just goes away, unresolved at all

cause they come out all the same

and a new box comes along now

and it's all so mysterious

it's a box that's completely empty

which is just so completely lame

There's a time one and a ghost one

and a search one and a conspiracy

and they're all completely empty

and they all serve just the same

All I Want for Christmas is you (to take precautions)

I don't want a lot for Christmas,

there is just one thing I need.

I don't care about the people, 

singing on and off of key.

I just want pre-cau-tions now

any that you will allow.

Make my wish come truuuuue

all I want for Christmaaaaas iiiiis yoooooouYeah

I don't want a lot for Christmas

just for you to wear a mask (and I)

won't visit other people,

who can't manage this one task.

It's just hard to und-ersta-and,

and I don't mean to be brisk,

Seeing smiles won't make me happy

if they come with added risk

I just want to see you safe

cer-tain-ly don't mean to chafe

help me to see you

and not risk catching cov-id or fluuuuu, oooh baby

I won't ask for much this Christmas

I won't even wish for snow 

I can wait a few more minutes 

open windows for air flow

Maybe add a HEP-A system

to help pur-i-fy the air

if it's not too much troub-ble

I think it is only fair

cause if you want me there tonight

I think it is only right

what more can I do

oh baby all I want for Christmas is you (and not sickness)

All the rates are rising, just like they did last year

and though with vac-cines there is not much that you fear

but ICUs are fill-ing

I know it is confusing

It's like we're repeating 

the same thing every year

and we just re-fuse to see-ee-ee

I don't want a lot for Christmas, this is all I'm asking for

I just want to see my family, test before I'm at the door

I just want you to be safe, 

never ever meant to chafe

Let me come see you

and not risk catching cov-id or fluuuuu (oooh baby)

all I want for Christmas is you, not illness

all I want for Christmas is you, not covid

all I want for Christmas is you, not the flu

Cruel Sumter (Cruel Summer part 2)

To the tune of "Cruel Summer" by Bananarama

COVID-19 and the people are continuing
to gather round
thinking it's safe cause we're not seeing highest of spread
meanwhile I'm saying (what do you say?)
that they're completely insane
Cases are higher than all of but worst of our months

It's a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
spread as high as December
it's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer
like winter

Travel expanding, everyone's back to normal
I'm forced to be
the bad guy, not letting some things return again

It's a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
heading toward January
it's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer
ignoring

just how high spread has become

It's a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
(fully vaxed) not as severe illness still
it's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer
thousands die [in MA alone]

It's a cruel, cruel summer
coming together again
it's a cruel, cruel summer
now you're here
and I just want to run

It's a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
(fully vaxed) not as severe illness still
it's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer
Long covid
and increasing variants

It's a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
(fully vaxed) spread is still increasing
it's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer
like winter

oh and here's Monkeypox

It's a cruel...

It's Sunday Afternoon (A Casual Critter Song)

It's Sunday
It's Sunday afternoon
One by one we level up our characters
And collect our haul
Will we go where Matt expected us to go
or kill main plot points
How could you do this? [rips pages]
Casual critters, come join us
it's time to destroy this big rune
it's a big red button
press it
but one things for sure
we'll never be distract... oooh raccoon
It's Sunday afternoon
From sleeves are bullshit, to scritches with doggoes,
we all have the same goal
entertainment
and some therapy
make some jokes and role!
(you can certainly cry)
It's Sunday afternoon
(It's Sunday afternoon)
Casual critters, come join us
it's time to destroy this big rune
it's Sunday afternooooon
there is magic and mystery
from darkness our friendship will rise
but one things for sure
we'll never be distract... oooh raccoon
oooh get ready,
get ready
it's Sunday afternoon

Often it's the Opposite of What you Might Expect, COVID edition

(to the tune of "Often it's the Opposite" from Psych: The Musical)

Often it's the opposite of what you might expect.

Try to think to logical, you're usually incorrect.

Think with so many deaths the public won't re-elect?

It's the opposite of that,

the opposite of that

(public)                        But we're open

(me)                             Immaterial

(public)                        But we're safe now

(me)                             Inexact

(Senator Murkowski)  You don't think the governor has learned to quickly act

Try to be irrationale, you’ll free your head from pains

Pretending that we’re better now, will free the commerce lanes

Think the public sees that it's not all just candy canes

It’s the opposite that 

Yes, we’ll re-elect the rat

Often it’s the opposite of what you might assume

Think that you’re safe from spreading, I’ll explain things over zoom

Bet without precautions, increased cases won’t resume

It’s the opposite of that, 

My faith has gone kasplat

It’s the opposite of that,

it’s the opposite of that

Quarantining on my Own

[to the tune of "Dancing on my Own" by Robyn]

The state of Mass is reopening

Do you think that it's safe again

there's a big black sky over my town

I know the spread's there, yeah it's still around

I go to check the cases

I just gotta see it for myself

I'm quarantining

watching you gather

    oh oh oh

the spread is still the-ere

why can't you see it?

    oh oh oh

I'm giving it my all

but you're not quaran-tining at all

    ooooh

I keep staying on my own

[I keep staying on my own]

Cases fall and rise again

each time we let dooown our guard

I'm crying into my coffee

and spinning around in circles

Emotionally worn out

watching you gather

    oh oh oh

the spread is still the-ere

why can't you see it?

    oh oh oh

I'm giving it my all

but you're not quaran-tining at all

    ooooh

I keep staying on my own

So close to safe, but still so far

    [we re-open, the cases rise]

But you don't see the cycle's there

I just came to say goodbye

Walking away while
watching you gather

    oh oh oh

I'm giving it my all

but you're not quaran-tining at all

    ooooh

I keep staying on my own

[I keep staying on my own]

I'm quarantining

watching you gather

    oh oh oh

the spread is still the-ere

why can't you see it?

    oh oh oh

I'm giving it my all

but you're not quaran-tining at all

    ooooh

I keep staying on my own

[I keep staying on my own]

[I keep staying on my own]

Cruel Summer

To the tune of "Cruel Summer" by Bananarama (oh stop it with the suggestion that there's another song by the same name)

COVID-19 and the people are coming 

to gather round
thinking it's safe cause the state has relaxed restrictions
meanwhile I'm praying (what do you pray?)
that I'm completely wrong
Cases are coming, the spread hasn't disappeared yet

It's a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
spreading among the kids
it's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer

now you're here

The city is crowded, my friends want to play
and I'm forced to be
around everybody, but I just want to go away

It's a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
asympto-matically
it's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer
now you're here

Gonna wish only it was

It's a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
(fully vaxed) asympto-matically
it's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer

now you're here

It's a cruel, cruel summer
coming together again
it's a cruel, cruel summer
now you're here

and I just want to run

It's a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
(fully vaxed) asympto-matically
it's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer

now you're here

and I just want to run

I Can Be Productive

Sung to the tune of "Can you Feel the Love Tonight"

I can be produ-uctiiive
And do aaaaaall the work
I will not... pro-cras-ti-nate at all
by writing out a song

So much work to do right now
but none of it of interest
and so I'll go emp-ty,,, the dishwasher
and wash the pots and pans

maybe I'll fold my clothes now
and put them in the drawers
and go and water the garden, just a bit
and fix myself a snack

but I can be produ-uctiiive
and do all of the work
I will not pro...-cras-ti-nate at all
from tasks, I can-not hide

you might find that I haaave
digressed just aaaa weee biiiit
but you know.
that I will get the work
done before it's due


and if I get the work done now
I can feel so proud
and I will be able to say I did
and go watch tv toooooo

It's a Trap as only Beauty and the Beast Could Tell the Tale

[sung as either the Candlestick from Beauty and the Beast or as Admiral Ackbar from Return of the Jedi]

It's... a..... trap, it's a trap, 

we must try to close the gap
for the Death Star is a firing 

and the plan has gone to crap

Shields are up, yes they are!
We can't handle the Death Star.

It is fully functional now

and we will not make it far!

Solo's team, where are they?

with their camouflage of grey

they should have those shields down by now

what happened I cannot say!

Cap-it-al, ships are there,

but they hardly seem to care

they aren't firing at all now

they seem almost unaware

Get in close, stay in tight,

we will still give them a fight!

Let the laser take their own ships.

We can't give into the fright.

That Skywalker said

the empire's good as dead

but they're here, get your gear

... IT'S A TRAP!
