Subject: RE: BS: Stallone's gonna do another Rocky film..
Pursuant to Little Hawk's comment, a small and half-witted parody of Over the Hills and Far Away seems fitting:
Over the Hill and All Washed Up
For the sake of pride and prospering Rocky plans a comeback in the ring He's forgot that "he who runs away Lives on to fight another day."
CHORUS: O'er the Hill and All Washed Up, Please to throw a penny in the cup For the angel band is tuning up "Over the Hill and All Washed Up."
He will fight the Mason-Dixon Lion Our disbelief and his age defyin' His wits he must have thown away If he's going back into the fray.
(chorus)
So I'm taking up a collec-ti-on To subvert natu-ral selec-ti-on Please pitch your coppers in to save This has-been from an earthen grave.
(chorus)
If I can but raise a paltry sum We'll avoid an obvious and sad outcome, And a bonus we'll accrue, what's more: One less bad film and tedious score.
(chorus)
But if he should fight in the ring once more, He may fall as others have before -- Then the angel band may indeed strike up, "Over the hills and All Washed Up."
LAST CHORUS: O'er the Hill and All Washed Up, And as the daisies he pushes up Hear the movie-goers in cheers erupt: "He's Over the Hill and All Washed Up."
