Rejected Song Titles (& Lyrics)
Amazingly, the fictitious song titles that follow are derived from real song titles, most of them in the country music vein. I'd like to imagine that these could have been the original versions submitted to record producers that then were modified and/or sanitized to keep the "suits" happy (if suits ever are happy with musicians and songwriters):
Aborting My Baby (What An Ugly Way Of Saying You Love Me)
*
Walk Like A Jihadist (Is That A Bomb Strapped To Your Chest, Or Are You Just Glad To See Me?)
*
Prop Me Up Beside The Jukebox When You Die (I'll Still Be Drunk And You'll Still Be Dead)
*
You Can't Touch This Until I Touch Yours (Long-Lost Michael Jackson Record, And Let's Keep It That Way)
*
If I Said You Had A Beautiful Body, Would You Donate It To Science? (With Apologies To The Bellamy Brothers)
*
If You've Got 10 Minutes, Let's Get A Room (Romanticized, somewhat, into If You've Got 10 Minutes, Let's Fall In Love --Ain't Country Music Grand?)
*
Love Squirts (With Profoundest Apologies To The Band Nazareth)
*
Stairway To The Basement (What Is That Awful Smell, Mr. Dahmer?)
*
Hey Juden (Don't Let Me Down, Take A Warm Shower, And Make The World Better, Better, Better) -- (So How Did Mel Brooks Miss This One For "The Producers" musical?)
*
I Left Your Heart In San Francisco, Since You Weren't Using It Anyway
*
