Only Me (Parody) by chama

Only Me (Parody)

chama

Only Me is a parody of the famous song Only You written by Vince Clarke and performed originally by the group Yazoo, and made even more popular by the vocal group Flying Pickets. This version is based on the Flying Pickets' cover, but written with a small chamber orchestra ensemble consisting of Flute, Oboe, English horn, Clarinet, Bassoon, Violin, Viola, Cello and Contrabass... and a Guitar. Myrr's voice(s) are done by me with some heavy post-processing.

Myrr is my little vixen character who dearly wants to be a famous bard, but never quite seems to get there. In Only Me, Myrr wants to participate in a Battle of the Bards kind of event, but alas, prejudiced judges deny her the chance to participate. She comes back with an improvised "human disguise" (can you spot the McGyver theme in the orchestra?) but alas, she gets excited and a wagging tail ruins everything.

The song has a mature rating since it uses the word "bitches" which is a Bad Word™ in the USA.

Release date: Apr 22, 2010

Lyrics
Looking at the stage from below
'twas gonna be a great show
Fate auspicious

Bards from all the land would perform
It made my heard beat, all warm
And ambitious

All I needed was the chance to sing
All I needed just to do my thing
And on the stage, you'd see
Only me!

But when the judges saw me, they stared
They laughed until I despaired
No concern, there

They brushed me off: Just humans allowed!
But I secretly vowed
To return there

All I needed was a good disguise
All I needed was to improvise
The girl up there would be
Only me!

Oh, they're already starting!
What have we got..
A broom... another broom...
That's leg extenders... and beautiful human hair!
And... a curtain! That's a dress... and a veil
Okay, I'm done! Perfect! Let's go in!

Hello fellow humans! I'm the Mysterious Madame Myrr
And it's my turn to sing now!

All I needed was a smiling fate
All I needed to do something great
On stage, 'spite their decree
Only me!

I hadn't thought of binding my tail
It caused my wardrobe to fail
Ripped all stitches

They dragged me down and threw me out
"You're a disgrace!" they did shout
Sons of bitches

All I needed was a chance to sing
All I needed just to do my thing
But out here, you find me
Only me.
