Posted: 11/24/05 at 10:52pmI didn't get a chance to watch the parade. I was wondering if anyone could share what the lyric changes were in Great Big Stuff?

Pouring out my ass was changed to pouring out my nose.
I want some really classy sh*t was changed to I want some really classy junk.
The fashion dates thing was changed to "humming in Hummer".
There was something else, but it had to do with Norb being a rich man.

Posted: 11/24/05 at 11:11pmWell there is nothing you can do about that. Everyone is required to lip sync on the parade.
re: Great Big Stuff in the parade#5
Posted: 11/25/05 at 12:20amYeah...can someone explain that rich man thing? I thought it was absolutely hilarious but I'd never heard it before.

Other changes:
"Pouring out my as*" was changed to "pouring out my nose"
"The pills to keep me happy/even when I'm suicidal" was changed to "And if I were a rich man/I'd go yeedle deedle daidle"

Posted: 11/25/05 at 9:01amThe lip syncing is always hilariously off for everyone who performs in the parade. I guess there's not much they can do, but it's funny to watch.

I actually thought he did a great job with the lip syncing.

Maybe it's just me... but that song is terrible. God bless Norbert for trying to sell it.

Posted: 11/25/05 at 2:25pmThe lyric changes were supposed to suck, right? If I were a lyricist, I wouldn't be happy about changing a showstopper for a bunch of Puritans.
re: Great Big Stuff in the parade#13
Posted: 11/25/05 at 2:27pmEven my Mom noticed the lyric changes, and she's never seen the show.
re: Great Big Stuff in the parade#14
Posted: 11/27/05 at 7:18pmThe new lyrics were weak. They were so bad they made me laugh...even harder than I normally do at the dirty jokes that used to be there. "Pouring out my nose"...ok that didn't even RYHME with "A life of taste and class". Sorry Yazbek, class and nose don't rhyme. The "fiddler" thing was sort of funny, but "Hummin' in my Hummer" has nothing to do with sex in a car...I know it shouldn't be because it's in the morning but how could a play-date keep you "Humming"?

GEEZ guys..it's not like they were supposed to be fantastic new lyrics!!
They were probably hastily changed for this event, and this event only...most things they can just bleep it out and not worry about new lyrics (ie the tony's)...

Posted: 11/27/05 at 9:09pmI thought the "fiddler" thing was cute.

re: Great Big Stuff in the parade#18
Posted: 11/27/05 at 9:57pmYes, I too had to laugh at the change to the word "nose," but YAY for Norbert getting publicity! He deserves it!
