Pepsi Dependency, a parody of Fall Out Boy's Thnks fr th Mmrs (Thanks for the Memories). This one was fun to perform, and is the first time I've ever had to do four different parts overlapping at points. (This is the 2010 Version)
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
I wrote it just on a whim after having hosted a top 100 parody contest at badave.com. Throughout the broadcast people saw me drinking Pepsi, so I decided to write a little tune about it:) Thnks fr th Mmrs (Which is Thanks for the Memories) was a perfect song being that it was recent enough and end of the yeary enough to use. Special thanks to karaoke-version.com/en/ for allowing me to use the backing track
Lyrics
I think that I will stay up late
(A second wind that cola brings)
Take a gulp and watch my kidneys roll
My heart's about to blow
(Heart's about to blow)
(Heart's about to blow)
and I cannot sleep at all tonight
I better drink some more before the day light
Just look at the caramel fizz
My brain gets tied in knots Covered in sweat from my head to my knees
Tastes great and cleans off grime
Pepsi Dependency
Staying up for ten days straight
No Twenty ounce, need 2 liters
I'm buzzed, yeah, all the time
Caffeine inside of me
Chalked full of energy
Green Tea? Not for me, I need sweeter
oooooooooooh
Dentist warned me I'm in danger
Gums receding, My tooth ache's back
His words I don't recall
I didn't get out of the front door (front door)
'fore my thirst came rumbling back (came rumbling back)
Got One Can (Got one Can OH)
One can, one more at nine
Pepsi Dependency
Molars became paper weights
I need tooth paste, and some fillers
One Glass, yeah, I'll be fine
Don't you be cheap with me
Fill up the cup fully
I need my fix, or I will die here
Oooooooooooooh
I took just one drink after Britney poured some on her
Spice Girls danced with those bright blue-tastic colors
I was doing just fine
'til it came through my nose
Still do it today
I no longer eat my food
Ooooooooooh
Repeat, just four more times
Pepsi Dependency
Refill till I'm wide awake
I can't sit down, what a nightmare
No Crack, Speed, I'll be fine
Just give me that caffeine
It's really all I need
It works the same, but it is cheaper
(oooooooh)
I need all these chorus lines
(ten more lines) (killing time)
Dispel my energy
So I get to bed tonight
Can't fall asleep, so I'll sing here
(ooooooh)
I swear, we will end these rhymes
(The last time) (No more rhymes)
Pepsi Dependency
Feels just like ecstasy
Done, Damn, I can sleep maybe next year
(oooooooh)
