For those who don't know me from other boards I love to lampoon reality TV contestants by way of Song Parodies. I have been doing this for a couple of years now for Big Brother, Survivor and The Mole. Here is my first Survivor 7 Song Parody based on the late Johnny Cash's "A Boy Named Sue". Sorry, I couldn't find a decent midi for you to sing along to but almost everyone knows this tune. I call it...

A Boy Named Ru

I had to jump ship as one of Drake
And they didn't allow me much to take
Just a pair of jeans, a shirt and my tennis shoes
Now, I don't blame Probst – he don't make the rules
But they didn't even give us some tools
And so I left with my tribe, just call me Ru

Well they must have thought it was quite a joke
When we took a little plunge and we got a little soaked
In jeans I had to fight to swim it's true
And so I paddled with legs of lead
When we came ashore I was almost dead
I tell ya, life ain't easy for this boy named Ru

Well, I sat right down on the tribal raft
Then the Morgan tribe did something daft
They left their stuff alone and I had no shame
When I saw me a chance to advance my team
And I justified the pirate theme
When I plundered in the spirit of the game

Well it was Panama on our first day
And we'd just hit town, didn't plan to stay
We had to stop and buy a thing or two
With a bag of money and what we wore
We had to barter, buy and score
And our Drake tribe seemed to know just what to do

Well, our Sandra turned her gold into food
We had chicken, sauce and what's more Dude
We all knew by far that we'd squeak by and survive
It would soon be dark, that day got old
And we hired a boat like we'd been told
And I said, "My name is RU! I'm Drake like you! Morgan's gonna die!

Well it hit us hard, night began to fall
And we would down some cheap alcohol
We partied all night, boy that hooch was better than beer
Then we busted our butts when the morning came
And we knew that our duds were all wrong for the game
Cuttin' and a rippin' we had fun in the sun without fear

I tell ya, I thought I would hurt
Anyone who'd catch me in a skirt
Being chafed by wet jeans makes you change your point of view
I heard them laugh and I heard them tease
But my boys were happy and I was pleased
I stood there wearin' a skirt, this boy named Ru

And I said, "Man, this boy is tough"
But I'm not gonna make it in only my buff
And I knew I wouldn't have cared to wear a sarong
But I hung up my jeans and I said goodbye
To a red raw crotch and without a lie
I had no shame, I felt that I was strong

I knew then that I was gonna be alright
Even though I looked silly I fought the fight
To win for us the immunity challenge it's true
But before you tease me, just hear me out
For the story I recount should leave no doubt
That we're gonna win it all 'cause Morgan doesn't have a clue

We got all stoked up when it turned out we'd won
And we did it without getting nude in the sun
Like those Morgan boys with their naughty bits in view
And we talked about them losing today
Every time we did, every time they'd say
That if we think we're gonna win by taking off our clothes
We will, but Lord, anyone but Ru! We will win this game!

Here's the companion song to "A Boy Named Ru". I thought I'd better get it up before episode two ;-) This one is told from "Cryin'" Ryan S.'s perspective about Morgan tribe and is sung to the tune of Joe Walsh's "Life's Been Good" but I call it...

Strife’s Been Good
(a song for “Cryin’” Ryan S.)


I am a Morgan, our tribe will suffice
Or so it seems but I’m tryin’ to be nice
We act like dumbbells, sleep under rock walls
Then duck for cover when the wall falls

They say I’m lazy but I try all the time
I’m just scrawny and weak; I don’t think that’s a crime
Strife’s been good for me so far

I wish my weight was 185
Without some muscle don’t think I’ll survive
I’ll stick with Lil, hope she’s got my back
Knows what to do in case I’m attacked

I’m fetching water, the tribe’s thirst I’ll slake
They’ll treat me better, my life is at stake
So we’ll keep it a secret, just me and Lil
Just where the well is, I hope she will

Lucky I’m here after Andrew and crew
(Everybody say he’s boss, he’s boss)
Start to complain I’m a limp noodle too
Strife’s been good for me so far

(Instrumental break)

To tribal council Morgan tribe went
Thought I might leave, seemed like their intent
It’s tough to bear when your leader defames
But this time, thanks to Lil, it’s Nicole in the flames

I think I’m lucky, but what I am about
(Everybody say Ryan, Ryan)
Is keep on playing till your torch is snuffed out
Strife’s been good for me so far

Can't wait to see what you come up with next! Lilli perhaps????? ..

Who lives with a group of numbskulls on an island covered with trees?

Scoutmaster Lilli and her kahki pants!

Who shakes her head daily and mutters "Oh Please"...


Or:

Who is the leader of misfits on an island covered with trees?

Andrew the lawyer with his hands on his hip stance.....

Here's a third one to finish...(I'm pretty good at getting the first two or three lines...but, then I hit writers block! LOL!)

Osten's Lament

DAY-O....it's DAY Nine - OH...
Daylight come and me wanna go home!
DAY...me say DAY, me say DAY-O,
Daylight come and me wanna go home....

I got no clothes 'cus I traded them for junk...
Daylight come and me wanna go home...
My shorts are skanky and I'm losing my "Bunk"
Daylight come and me wanna go home...

Come fellow tribemates and vote for me tonight
Daylight come and me wanna go home....
If I stay and lose my skivies it won't be a pretty sight...
Daylight come and me wanna go home....

(Someone finish please???)
