Just a small note before you read on... I liked the movie Titanic and am a moderate fan of Celine Dion's music. However, there is such a thing as playing a song too much. This in the case with Titanic's "My Heart Will Go On." Sure, it's a touching song with romantic lyrics. But let's face it: if Celine Dion hadn't sung it, we wouldn't all think it was that great. Anyway, while I kinda liked the song in the beginning, it started getting on my nerves after about, oh, three FREAKING months of having to listen to the same song every morning on the radio when I got up, whenever I went to shop in a store, driving the car, and of course whenever I was put on hold by Big Company Inc. The only station that DIDN'T play the song was a classical station (yep, I even batted zero on the Country station) that didn't have very interesting programming. So, this following parody of the song was my last ditch cry for help. I'm sure I'm not the only one out there who feels this way. This is dedicated to everyone who has experienced it.


That Song Goes On
(and On and On and...)

Everyday in my car
I hear it, I hear it,
Every DJ's playing that song
No matter what the station
Or city I go to
Still I hear them playing that song

AM, FM,
No matter where I am,
I keep hearing that same old song
Once more
Even when I'm at the store
It plays on the PA system
That song just goes on and on...

If I've heard it one time
I've heard it a million times
It just won't let go or move on
I wish that the singer
Had hated the movie
Because there wouldn't be such a song

Near, far,
I've stopped driving cars
Just so I can stop hearing that song
Once more
I can't take any more
It plays on through my brain
That song still goes on and on...

INSTRUMENTAL

Months, Years,
At times I fear
That I'll lose all my reason ere long
Some day
I'll blow them all away
And then maybe, just maybe
That song won't go on and on
(and on and on and on and on....)
