Yesterday Once More (parody)

Excuse me, but the Carpenters are one group that diabetics should scrupulously avoid. Karen, may she rest in peace, had a lovely voice but as with all artists she had her highs and lows.  She died at the age of 32 in 1983.    What was worse was that my freshman year roommate at college LOVED the Carpenters.  I could not see why.  While he was very good at science and math, his taste in the arts was questionable.   Considering that when he was done with his studies he would watch hours of television on his tiny TV set should have been a strong clue.

"Yesterday What For?"

When I was young
I'd listen to the gangsta rap
Waitin' for my favorite songs
When they played I'd rap along
It made me drool.

Those were such sappy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they'd gone
But they're back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the crap I loved so well.

Every Oof oof squeak squeak
Every splutter and zip
Still shines
Every oozing and belch
That they're startin' to talk
And whine

When they get to the part
Where she's bustin his balls
It can really make me laugh
Just like before
It's yesterday you whore.

Lookin' back on how it was
In years gone by
And all the times that I’ve been  had
Makes me get so very mad
Not much has changed.

It was songs of love that
Were really about sex
And I'd memorize each word
Violent and brief
With a maximum of grief
As they beat the years away.

Every crash tingle pop
Every chwang prangle boom
Still shines
Every Thuk thuk squeak
That they're startin' to speak
So fine.

All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Neighbors scream to turn it down.
And I just frown
Just like before
It's yesterday what for.
