The Lyrics
We are old and we are grumpy, so tough! Deal with it! ;-D
Wasn't it so nice when we were younger?
Then we didn't have to whinge and moan
Remember when the cows were good for leather?
Silly how the term P.C.'s o'erblown
You know, the simple days, when cheese was Cheddar
Not Gouda, Camembert or Brie or Feta
Gee and it was nice back when a break up
Mostly meant an iceberg shearing through
We laughed at how Paul's Wings included Heather
Rolled our eyes at shows like Scooby-Doo
When the dictionary was intending
That gay meant happiness and not rear-ending
We didn't think twice
Baby, now kids drink like fish, use dope all day and fight and spew
Way back then there wasn't any awful things for us to do
We were unwary (no visionaries)
Our lives were so sappy (but still we were happy)
It was so damn nice
You know that body shape with chalk around it
I quote you chap' an' verse, we lived without it
Murders weren't abounding...
Wasn't it so nice?

That was nice.
brilliant...made me nostalgic...i'm old and grumpy, too...5s plus
Absolutely precious! 555
Nice nostalgia.
Harumph!
the happiness and no-rear-ending ending bit was clever.
Yep...nice nostalgia. :-)
Too true!
Even though you're both obviously a lot older than I am, (hehehe...; )...)...and I can't relate to the grumpy & old sentiment...this was LOVELY! I also loved the rear ending bit...=)
Thanks everyone for your comments - this one was a LOT of fun to do!
Arwen: Yes, we are older! You will make it there one day and then you too will be grumpy, so look forward to it, it sneaks up on you without your realising and BANG! You are there! Heh heh....
So, NO-ONE has spotted the mistake yet huh ?

Love it!! ;-)
very neat M and P - getting old means getting to whinge - esp liked "We were unwary (no visionaries)" - 555
Haha ! Excellent job M&P ! Yes, I too can relate.....though I also recall a joke about a 'Linda' with wings.... ;-)
Loved it so much - I voted twice on it. 10s are better than 5s. The mistake I 'm sure is how did Paul McCartney get Heather into Wings and leave Linda behind?
Hey! Reddyrules wins the prize! All you have to do is come and collect! Ask for Merry or I at Middle Earth....!
Excellent parody (except I'm not sure how nice it was when the iceberg took down the Titanic).
(SOTM) Good song. Tim McGraw has a song out right now along these same lines (remember when a screw was a screw, and being down meant you had the flu). But he didn't mention Scooby Doo, so you've got him beat in my book.
Ooh, I didn't know someone else did a "Wouldn't It Be Nice" parody recently...This one was...really nice (actually, quite a bit better than that)...5's...May the nicest nice do nicely in the (SOTM) contest...lol
(sotm) This was deep.
I came on this late or I'd have gotten the goof right away. Technically, Lindas' first daughter before Paul (he adopted) was named Heather also and went with them on tour. So you can claim there was no mistake. (He even wrote a song for her that is very hard to find)
(SOTM) Nice job, guys.
(SOTM) Nice story, pops. (what's the plural of pops?) A round of turnip juice on the house!
(SOTM) So if you win, you're gonna party like it's 1969 then? :-)
Since you're both such huge Beatles fans, I'll play music geek with Rick and point out that McCartney also has a more recent song called "Heather." (This time, presumably, it's about his wife.) It's on "Driving Rain"; call me a sap, but I love the song. The man can still bust out melodies.
Anyhoo. You predate feta cheese and the modern usages of "breakup" and "gay"? Wow. I guess hobbitses live longer than I thought. Heh heh. Fun stuff as usual, wonder twins. My fave bits are the cheddar/feta rhyme and the Scooby Doo eye-roll. Here's hoping you keep writing parodies for another hundred years.

Arrr mateys, this be a -- oh, wait, wrong song. Yep, those were the days, all right. Gee, our old LaSalle ran great. Good stuff.
(SOTM) This be nice...oops, wrong song, too...no, that really wasn't a shameless plug for my parody...was it? Couldn't help it...I already commented above on this for the SOTM but I must say once again that is was very, very nice.
lololol. (Loud BELCH!) Alright, here's your fives, not get off of my lawn or I'll call the cops! 5-5-5!
Ah, M&P... you know, nostalgia isn' t what it used to be
SOTM--ah...the good old days...=) Still a fabulous parody, hobbits!
(SOTM) This parody is nice!
(SOTM) "We laughed at how Paul's Wings included Heather" is another one I liked M and P - and what I said before
I can relate to the good old days, but I have a different set than you two. I end up going back to when I was seven, surrounded by eighties songs I couldn't care less about, with a bowl of some sugary cereal in my hand, watching GOOD Saturday-morning cartoons like 'Thundercats', not the crap they have today.
You can't say I didn't try to relate :cp. Nice one Merry and Pip.

(SOTM) I didn't think twice. 5's right away!
Thanks so much everyone for the kind comments! And Spaff: "since you're BOTH such huge Beatles fans'"made me laugh...! Ask Rick about that one - ha ha... ;-D
(SOTM) Loved it enough to vote for it...good job M&P
loved this one too ... very nice gentle parody... we can all relate to this one !!
