A Parody of "Cleaning Out My Closet" by Eminem.
How far can a kid who is lazy go? Well, not very far abviously, but this song tells the story of one determined kid and his quest to...Aww heck, just listen to it already!
Awesomeness! That is all that could possibly describe my comedic songs...
Hey! The name is John, but I go by "The Phreako". I am 17 years old and I have been involved with music in some way for more than 10 years. I play Guitar, Keyboard, and a few other assorted instruments...but I love to write. I haven't had an organized band in years, but I have friends who like to perform on my songs. The biggest problem I always have is getting the perfect sound for my songs. It is SO FRIGGING HARD!!! ARGH! anyway. Hope ya'll love what I've done so far.
Story behind the song
This song took me nearly 2 years to finish writing. It all started 2 and a half year ago...I had heard Cleaning Out My Closet for the first time, and I thought it needed a parody. I kept on trying to find something that rhymed...But not much hit me except Cleaning Out The Garbage...So then I tried to find something better, and along came Taking Out The Garbage.
I wrote the chorus first, since it was the part of Eminem's song that stuck with me the most...It sounded pretty good, but I couldn't do a song with only a chorus...So I got to work and I got the first verse done. I was clueless as to what I should right next. It took me 6 months until I wrote part of the second verse. Another 6 months later, I finished the second verse. Over a period of 6 months, I tweaked the first two verses to make them more original...And then it sat on my hard drive for 6 more months. Then one day while cleaning out my desktop (hmm...I smell another parody!!!) I came across my Taking Out The Garbage file. A sense of nostalgia set in, and I had a strong desire to finish the song.
So I did. The third verse is my favorite verse. I always hate how when my songs take a long time to write, there is always a noticible amount of change in my writing style. Oh well...I hope you all enjoy it!
Lyrics
Takin' Out The Garbage
A parody of "Cleanin' Out My Closet" by Eminem
(Background)
That ain't fair!
I don't think that's any fair mama!
There I go!
Yeah!
(End of Background Vocals)
Yo, Yo
Have you ever been punished for doing stuff with no sense?
I have, I've been grounded and severely put to the test.
Licking limes for my wicked crimes, look at my mind!
Passing the time of my really boring life kicking a can,
In a forward motion, only promoting too much commotion explodin'!
Nostrils flarin' while starin' at a rotten white ugly fence.
Not even listnen' to no one, when the chores come around.
Keep kickin' cans in the mornin,' an eatin' food in da' evening.
Always left with cold showers as cold as they wrath.
See they can yell at me but only one thing will work.
Look at me now, they're prolly all plottin' me now!
Ain’t cha’ you Mama?
You're gonna make me look so ridiculous now.
(Chorus)
I'm sorry, Mama.
I never meant to hurt you.
I never meant to make you cry,
But tonight I'm takin' out the garbage!
(One More Time!)
I said, I'm sorry, Mama.
I never meant to hurt you.
I never meant to make you cry,
But tonight I'm takin' out the garbage!
I've got some blue cheese in my closet and I don't know if no one knows it.
So before I throw the garbage out, and dispose of it, I'm gonna expose it.
It's sure some real smelly cheese.
It has been a whole lot longer than just a couple a' weeks.
I was a baby, maybe just a couple of months.
My weirdo father must've somehow spilt all of his lunch, cuz it's quit!
I wonder if he even kissed it goodbye.
No, I don't on second thought, I just would've wished he used rye.
This is daily and I couldn't picture it, and I don't know why.
Even if I hated it, I'd wipe my face and try, to make it clean or at least for my Mama's sake.
I think we made mistakes, but we're only human.
But at least I'm strong enough to get rid of 'em now.
What we did was stupid, no doubt it was dumb.
But the smelliest thing has got to be donkey tongue.
Cuz id'a eaten it, I would have then barfed it all up.
This is my life.
I'd like to introduce you all to The Phreako!
(Chorus)
I'm sorry, Mama. I never meant to hurt you.
I never meant to make you cry,
But tonight I'm takin' out the garbage!
(One More Time!)
I said, I'm sorry, Mama.
I never meant to hurt you.
I never meant to make you cry,
But tonight I'm takin' out the garbage!
Now I would never piss my own mama after working the kitchen.
Take a second and listen, for the story you’re missing!
Just put yourself in my position.
Just try to envision witnessing your mama slopping dirt and food all over the kitchen.
Now I’m getting awfully tired of washing all of these dishes.
Going through bubbly dishwashing systems, victim of pruny hand syndrome.
My whole life I was told that was head was real thick,
Like my cousins.
And they grew up, and they blew up!
It’s cause they all had sick stomachs, wasn’t it?
Isn’t that the reason you made always stay clean, Ma?
So you could make me feel healthy and always germ free, Ma?
But guess what? I’ve gotten older now and I’m told that it’s phony.
And bathing ain’t gonna fix, our mess of macaroni!
Cause we’re living like pigs now, you should see it, it’s pitiful!
But we’ll never finish it, not even after our funerals.
See what hurts us the most is we’re ignoring this song,
Wait, I was wrong! I completely forgot that you are my mom.
And now our house is all caked with crud and it’s wet.
Don’t open the fridge, there’s something breathing inside of it!
Remember when daddy tried, to get you a new house?
Well, guess what? We NEED one, I am down on my knees!!!
(Chorus)
I'm sorry, Mama.
I never meant to hurt you.
I never meant to make you cry,
But tonight I'm takin' out the garbage!
(One More Time!)
I said, I'm sorry, Mama.
I never meant to hurt you.
I never me
