So I'm sure that literally everyone knows John Legend's song "All of Me" from back in 2013. Well, I am sure from my title that you are all thinking I'm going to completely tear down the song and its contents. This is not the case. This is a completely lighthearted article about a parody of the famous song.
Its definitely been a long time since a friend and I wrote this parody and we had so much fun with it. It actually took us a lot longer than we thought it would to write the new lyrics for it. It is definitely a lot harder to write a parody than people would think. Not only do you have to try to make the new lyrics make sense together as a whole but, you also have to make sure the new lyrics match the music to the original song. I think it ended up taking us about a week of texting back and forth possible lyrics that we thought would work with the music. Originally we wanted to make a music video for it too but we never really got around to it because we were too busy with school and what not. Having wrote my own parody though you definitely have to give a lot of credit to those who write parodies for a living. It is a lot of work! Oh and by the way, we wrote it as if John Legend was talking about a stalker. But without further adieu here is our parody of All of Me by John Legend (my co-writer of this was Amber Glynn a few years ago):
"Oh the things I could do without your smart mouth, you keep coming in but I keep kicking you out, you've got my head spinning, no kidding, kill me now, what's going on in that messed up mind, I don't want you to be my bride, you are so ditsy, please someone pinch me, I hope I'm dreaming.
You're heads under water, and I'm breathing fine, you're crazy and out of your mind.
Cause all of me, hates all of you, hate all your quirks and weird obsessions, all your imperfect perfections, give your all to me, I'll give nothing to you, I'm your end and we're not beginning, even when you lose I'm winning, cause you give me all of you, and I give you none of me, no-oh.
How many times do I have to tell you, even when you're crying you're still ugly too, the world is beating you down, and I am too, you're my downfall, you're not my muse, my worst stalker, I can't get rid of you, you can't stop talking, my ears are bleeding, heres some duct tape for you.
Your heads under water, and I'm breathing fine, you're crazy and out of your mind.
Cause all of me, hates all of you, hate all your quirks and weird obsessions, all your imperfect perfections, give your all to me, I'll give nothing to you, I'm your end and we're not beginning, even when you lose I'm winning, cause you give me all of you, and I give you none of me.
I hate all of you, cards on the table, why are we playing cards? Running from you, I hope you trip and fall.
Cause all of me, hates all of you, hate all your quirks and weird obsessions, all your imperfect perfections, give your all to me, I'll give nothing to you, I'm your end and we're not beginning, even when you lose I'm winning, cause you give me all of you, and I give you none of me.
You give me all of you, and I give you none of me, no-oh"
Well there you go guys, a completely lighthearted parody of John Legend's All of Me. Hope you liked it.
