Don't drive so close to me

[wolf_from_wv]

To the tune of "Don't stand so close to me" by (somewhat ironically) The Police...

Bad driver, the bane of
Insurance company
You're driving so badly
Don't want you close to me

Turn signal, it let's me
Know where you want to be
Tailgating, so close now
Experience road rage

Don't drive, don't drive so
Don't drive so close to me
Don't drive, don't drive so
Don't drive so close to me

His friends are so jealous
They know how fast it goes
Sometimes it's not so easy
To stop when out jumps doe

Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Wet pavement, light's turning
He hydroplanes and dies

Don't drive, don't drive so
Don't drive so close to me
Don't drive, don't drive so
Don't drive so close to me
 
Loose bolt on the engine
To start he tries and tries
Push start it, they tell him
And hope it doesn't die

It's no use, he tells them
It starts to shake and cough
He pulls off of the road and
Calls work to tell his boss

Don't drive, don't drive so
Don't drive so close to me
Don't drive, don't drive so
Don't drive so close to me

Don't drive, don't drive so
Don't drive so close to me
Don't drive, don't drive so
Don't drive so close to me
Don't drive, don't drive so
Don't drive so close to me
Don't drive, don't drive so
Don't drive so close to me
Don't drive, don't drive so
Don't drive so close to me
Don't drive, don't drive so
Don't drive so close to me

Did you write that?

In sci-fi convention terms this is called "filking" a song.

Did you write that?

Yes.

Trying to figure out where I saved "My Ibuprofen" that is to the tune of "My Sharona"...

Someone get ahold of Weird Al. Dude hasn't released a song in years and this may be a good one for him.  

Or maybe the Bob and Tom show if Weird Al doesn't want to do it.

Well, color me impressed.  That's hysterical!  In part because it's so well written.  And also because it's so damn true.  This would be equally at home in the "I need to rant" thread.

Speaking of 'My Sharona'

I first found this guy during the '2 weeks to stop the spread' stay at home boredom. Never heard of him before but he's very good.

Chris Mann

He's done a bunch of these to a bunch of different tunes.
