Song parody: "Batman"
(parody of "Tax Man" by the Beatles)

1, 2, 3, 4
1, 2, Bat-time!

(Batmobile starts up)

I've got a cloak, I'll do a stunt,
And all the villains I will hunt,
Because I'm Batman!
Ye-e-eah I am Batman!

That Spiderguy might have that net,
And Superdude might fly (you bet!)
But I am Batman!
Ye-e-eah I am Batman!

Well now Gotham is where I roam around,
I'm so quiet - I don't make a sound
For my car, I'm paying by the pound
Over cars and shops, I'll jump and bound!
Batman!

(tense guitar music plays as Batman sneaks up behind the Joker, who amazingly completely fails to see him... get ready for a scene of indescribable violence. POW! ZAP! OOF! ZAPOW!)

Because I'm Batman!
Ye-e-eah I am Batman!

The cops don't chase the crooks in here (uh-oh, it's Chief Wi-ggum!)
They scarf the donuts and drink beer (uh-oh, getting fat!)
But I am Batman!
Ye-e-eah I am Batman!

And you know those villains must beware (Batman!)
It's lucky they don't work in pairs (Batman!)
You know I'm Batman!
Ye-e-eah I am Batman!

And I'm working for no one
But me (Batman!)

(music plays as the Bat signal is broadcast across Gotham City)

(music plays as the Batmobile's engine sputters and dies, and Batman tries to restart it)

(as the music ends, we hear Batman say...) Dammit! Start, you stupid piece of junk!

What, no reply?

I don't know the song. *shrug* I'm sure it's very clever though.

^ This. Also not familiar with the song. My friend Colette always wants to throttle me when I don't recognize a Beatles song, because that's like "her band."

But my music knowledge, is pretty much 80's music (with a specialty in "metal" music of all forms), along with Michael Jackson, and Kenny Rogers.

Here's the song, then!




It's classic rock 'n roll. Have a listen - the new lyrics should make much more sense then.

Tawm, I bet Colette would get a kick out of this, especially if she likes Batman.

Also, didn't Weird Al also parody this song? Here!
