Your Rox-song Re-Lyrics?

1 reply

Thought I’d start this one up - re-lyricising Roxette songs. I have done two football-based ones in the past: Oxford at Sunderland (Let’s Celebrate!) and We’re The Super Mackems (7Twenty7), but in SAFC’s current state, it’s kinda obvious I’m not gonna be posting THEM.

So instead, let me take you back to the Unplugged - but say that Popstars/Pop Idol had been on back in 1993 ...

[Per} OK, So You Wanna Be A Plastic Pop Star....

Gjang-gjang,gjang,-a-jang, Gjang-gjang,gjang,-a-jang,
Gjang-gjang,gjang,-a-jang, Gjang-gjang,gjang,-a-jang...

So you wanna be a plastic pop star,
Well listen now to what I say,
Don’t bother to buy a guitar,
Just learn to mime, you don’t have to play,
Aaaaaaand if you stammer right,
And your songs are shite, then it’ll still be alright...

Then it’s time to go downtown,
To the agent man, he will screw you around,
Sell your soul to the company,
For a TV show they call ’reality’,
Aaaaaaand if you win it too,
Then the guy who lost will get more backing than you...

-instrumental-

What you pay for the richest of fame,
Well you even get away with admitting you’re gay,
The girls that like you aren’t even thirteen,
But they’ll forget who you are, you’re a plastic pop star...

SB goes ’laaaa-la-la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la...’

mmmm there were lots of sweet ones I remember
almost dying to like “he’s not a cook” and “crash boom bug”

y’all are gonna hate me for ruining this classic! ;)

sweet stalker in the moonlight
he can go all night
always leaves on the light
yer little sister’s holes were so tight
everynight another caper
she likes the way I take her
I’ll drop yer mum off later! ;p
