A parody about Truth or Dare to the classic hit 'Drive' by Incubus that extols some rather embarrassing dares in a quest to hide a never-revealed secret.
A man writing parodies just because. .singing and writing is fun
I write parodies for fun and record them because I love performing. Check out my website at badave.com for more info! In case anyone is curious, my backing tracks are created by and used with permission by karaoke-version.com/en. They make some really cool karaoke tracks and are very approachable people.
Story behind the song
Actually, this was a harder recording than it was a write. My motivation was the Artistry Round titled "Incubus" where I had to choose an Incubus song to parody. Well, without a doubt, Drive is the best song Incubus has ever produced and as such was my choice for song. . .the parody flowed through my fingers like it was no big deal, I remember the good old Truth or Dare games, we used to play by a rule, you can't do more than two Truths in a row.
Lyrics
First I,
I kicked a bee hive, and a bumble bee stung my rear
I cried
I must go against my health
So I can persevere
I'll always pick "Dare"
It's stripping to my shorts
as I drink another ale
All my neighbors squeal
Frankly I
am stuck here in this bind
all these dares are quite unreal
I'll run nude without blinking, This I swear
Around the farm while eating fries, yeah
I'll win, tell me truth or dare, please don't stare, I'm still bare
So then you
provide your secret, so another round that you'll survive
But I said "dare" another time and you said go hand jive, ohhh-oh
It's getting quite hardcore
it's the ground on which I lay
while all my friends have gathered round
Oh man, I'm starting to think that when they call my name,
"I'll Lose" they vow
Whenever you're picking me, I'll say "Dare"
Don't mind the harm, pain filled cries--yeah
Although you are hurting me, I'll pick dare, No Truth Here
Would you choose laughter over crime
Give a break this time
Even eating roach whip cream, I'll pick Dare
Set off alarms and eat mud pies--yeah
Won't tell you my secrets dear, I'll say "Dare", Though I'm scared
Doo Doo Doo
Mountain Dew
drinking from a shoe
No Truth No, boo-hoo hoo hoooo
Doo Doo Doo
Let's play clue
This game makes me blue
No more, no more no-oooo
