YAGT: PSA for the youngin's

[FoBoT]

for all the geeky teenagers/young adults with girl problems, i give to you the lyrics of one of Weird Al Yankovich's best songs ever.

Weird al yankovic
Song: One More Minute
Album: Dare to Be Stupid


(constant "doo wop"s in the background throughout the song)

Aahh

Well I heard that you're leavin' (leavin')
Gonna leave me far behind (so far behind)
'Cause you found a brand new lover
You decided that I'm not your kind (aahh..)

So I pulled (I pulled) your name out (name out) of my Rolodex (oohh..)
And I tore all your pictures in two
And I burned down the malt shop where we used to go
Just because it reminds me of you (dippity dippity doo)

That's right (that's right) you ain't gonna see me cryin'
I'm glad (I'm glad) that you found somebody new
'Cause I'd rather spend eternity eating shards of broken glass
Than spend one more minute with you

I guess I might seem kinda bitter
You got me feeling down in the dumps
'Cause I'm stranded all alone in the gas station of love
And I have to use the self-service pumps

Oh, so honey, let me help you with that suitcase
You ain't (you ain't) gonna break my heart in two
'Cause I'd rather get a hundred thousand paper cuts on my face
Than spend one more minute with you

I'd rather rip out my intestines with a fork
Than watch you going out with other men
I'd rather slam my fingers in a door (yah)
Again and again and again and again and again

Oh, can't you see what I'm tryin' to say, Darlin...

I'd rather have my blood sucked out by leeches (leeches)
Shove an icepick under a toenail or two
I'd rather clean all the bathroom in Grand Central Station with my tongue
Than spend one more minute with you

Yes, I'd rather jump naked on a huge pile of thumbtacks
Or stick my nostrils together with crazy glue
I'd rather dive into a swimming pool filled with double-edged razor blades
Than spend one more minute with you

I'd rather rip my heart out of my ribcage with my bare hands
and then throw it on the floor and stomp on it 'till I die
Than spend one more minute with you

so don't sweat your relationship problems, things could be worse

have a nice day!

 

[apac]

[NatePo717]

Yeah it took me a long time to get over all those razor blade wounds.....

I don't think all his songs were paridies, I could be wrong though.
Dare to be stupid (used in the Transformers - The Movie soundtrack) and the title track from that album doesn't seem to be a parody, more of a special track for the film.

this is an original

he doesn't just do parodies

remember, he didn't get married until he was in his late forties, and he didn't have ATOT to post YAGT on
