Are there any other mixes like Svantana's "Working As A Waitress"

July 26, 2017 7:20 AM

I love Svantana's mix of "Don't You Want Me", in which every lyric is sung as the 'You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar' line. Are there any other mixes of any other songs done in this fashion?

Best answer: Neither of these are quite as dramatic, but Neil Cicierega's version of Lenny Kravitz's "Fly Away" - in which Mr. Kravitz often repeats his desire to eat a Milky Way bar - is a delight.

Eminem's "Lost Yourself," with the lyric "mom's spaghetti" dropped in wherever possible, is pretty fun too.

Best answer: And shame on me for not including the MeFi classic "Jingle Rock Bell." My kids and I shamelessly ripped this idea off for a Christmas carols CD we made for grandma and grandpa this year, and it went over big.

Best answer: all star but the only lyrics are the first two lines

Sounds like James Corden's "First Line, Every Line" game.

Katy Perry - Firework

Bon Jovi - Living on a Prayer

BungaDunga's post reminded me of this bit of silliness (of course there is a 10 hour version as well).
