Thread Name: Song Challenge! Part 5
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 5
To the tune of that Dubliners' standard "Surrounded by Water" (which they themselves parodied as "Dollymount Strand")

CHORUS
Ma chére Dorothy, you're my grá gheal mo chroí
You're the light in my window, the star of the sea
The minute you strode, down the yellow brick road
My heart was just filled with devotion

George Lucas makes films 'bout wars in the stars
James Bond drives around in powerful cars
(Complete with hi-tech mechanical powers,
When pushed they can navigate oceans!)

CHORUS

New boy Tarantino is often portrayed
As a lover of gore, but the films he made
When viewed with an open mind tend to put paid
To that sort of cynical notion

CHORUS

Martin Scorsese makes films that deal
With life in the raw, with the grim and the real
Many a critic of film may feel
That of talent he's got his fair quotient

CHORUS

But of all of the movies that ever were made
One, it is said, puts them all in the shade
It stars Judy Garland, a charming young blade
And it caused no end of commotion

CHORUS
