Skating Song Parodies?

For a long time, I've thought about trying to write a parody of a song (basically, any song with lyrics) related to skating, and I even attempted to do so once but failed miserably. I've only ever seen one (skateguard1's "My Least Favorite Things"), so I was wondering if any of you have ideas. Because what better way to capture the falls, fails and feels of skating than in song? You have NO idea how long I've been waiting for an excuse to use that! You don't necessarily have to write a full song parody-you could use only part of the song if one section in particular is tripping you up-or it could even be an idea for one (at least include the title of the parody and why you think that song would work). I might even attempt to write one for you if one of you has a great idea!

Way, way, way back in the day, I wrote this for Alissa Czisny (to the tune of Camp Granada).

♫ Hello Muddah....Hello Faddah...
Here I am at....Camp Asada....♪
Camp is really....quite appalling....
But they say I'll have some fun if I stop falling. ♫ ♪

Miki's landings....not a ripple....
Yu-na Kim goes....triple-triple....
Now its my turn....carpe diem!....
Hold the stars and stripes up high where I can see 'em! ♫ ♪

Triple toe-loop....perfect landing....
Double Axel....I'm still standing!....
Triple flip now....gee that's bettah....
Muddah, Faddah kindly disregard this lettah! ♪

Pssssshhhhhhhh I'm not too young. They sing it at the day camp I used to work at for 7 summers.

"All About That Lutz"

Because you know I'm all about that lutz
'Bout that lutz, no double
I'm all about that lutz
'Bout that lutz, no double
I'm all about that lutz
'Bout that lutz, no double
I'm all about that lutz
'Bout that lutz... lutz... lutz... lutz

Yeah, it's pretty clear, I got no real flip
But I can fake it, fake it, with a right good lip.
And I got that boom boom that all the boys chases
And all the hand jives in all the right places

But I'm all about the lutz

Of course, there is also the South Park song "What Would Brian Boitano Do?" Does that count as a skating parody?

Not quite what you mean

But these lyrics often pop into my head during figure skating.

Have to admit i have broken out into song a few times, but mostly just to lovingly annoy the other half.

Lutz Goes Splat

To the tune of "Love Runs Out" (I apologize for the change of perspective halfway through-didn't work without it)

I'll be your points, your win, your plus GOE

I'll be the front half of that big combo jump

And you'll do all right, and you'll do all right

If you don't step out (if you don't step out)

You'll be landing me

Don't you ever doubt

'til the lutz goes splat

'til the lutz goes splat

I've got my mind made up and I can't let go

I'm skating every second 'til I get my score (OOOOOOH)

I've been jumping

I've been jumping

'Til the lu-u-u-u-u-utz goes spla-a-a-a-at!

From Beauty and the Beast, there is the song Gaston.
How about this one from Beauty and the Beast?

Michelle Kwan as Gaston

Dick Button cast as LeFou

the chorus a group of USFSA folk, looking for the next Michelle, and despairing ever finding one.


Michelle

Lyrics
Button: Gosh it disturbs me to see you, Michelle
Looking so down in the dumps
Every girl here'd love to be you, Michelle
Even when you miss your jumps.
There's no girl in town as respected as you
You're everyone's favorite sprite
Everyone's awed and inspired by you
And everyone truly is right.

No one's sweet like Michelle,
Points their feet like Michelle
No one's ever begun to compete like Michelle

For there's no girl in town half as steely!
Cool and, a pure paragon!
You can ask any Jane, Jean, or Shirley,
And they'll tell you whose team they prefer to be on!

Button and USFSA Chorus: No one's been like Michelle
A real Kween like Michelle
Button: No spiral has has ever been seen like Michelle's
Michelle: As a skater, yes, I'm intimidating!

Button and USFSA Chorus: My what a gal, that Michelle!
Give five "hurrahs!" Give twelve "hip-hips!"
Button: Michelle is the best and the rest is all drips!

No one vamps like Michelle
No one camps like Michelle
No one lights up the crowds just like lamps like Michelle.

For there's no one as lovely and graceful
Smooth and as calm as a swan
Not a bit of her looks rather awkward
(That's right!)
Michelle:And when there is skating to be done, man I'm on .

No one skates like Michelle
No one rates like Michelle
In a press conference nobody states like Michelle
Michelle: I'm especially good at question dodging
bang
Ten points for Michelle!

What a fun thread!

Hey Mirai, I hope you are reading this (to the tune of “Do you hear the people sing?” from Les Miz).

Do you hear the people cheer?
Cheering with all their might and main!
It is our most beloved gal about
To take the ice again!

Show the courage of your heart,
Summon the trumpets and the drums!
Oh, we can hardly stand to wait
‘Til the season comes!



You may be a Muggle, but you are still my favorite “Alien” (Ailene) .

Written in honor of tomorrow's GP assignments (to the tune of "Do You Wanna Build a Snowman?")

Do you wanna watch a Grand Prix?
Come on, let's watch 'em skate!
I never see you anymore
Come out the door
I've got no time to wait!

You used to love to watch them
And now you don't
I wish you would tell me why....

Do you wanna watch a Grand Prix?
It doesn't have to be Bompard...
Okay, bye.
*Orchestra*

Do you wanna watch a Grand Prix?
The pairs event is on right now
I think I heard your favorite team's in it
They'll be on in a bit
And they might win!

It's getting real annoying
Watching all these pairs
With no one to share the fun...
Do you wanna watch a Grand Prix?
Quit being so stubborn...
Okay, I'm DONE!
