Walk Like A Man
Parody: Walk Like Humans
Artist: Rick Springfield
Album: Tao
Track number on album: 8
Duration: 4:09
Fodder rating (out of 5): 4
The song is easy to memorize, but does not exactly have your basic lyrics.
Walking like a person, as opposed to like a crab, was a fun, inspired way to interpret the song, and a number of small details got to remain unchanged. However, the mention of some modern concepts and inventions, which include the universe and a motor, prevent it from being a 5 fodder.
In April 2015, I devised a way to shuffle songs from my 4 and 5 star ratings on my iPod. At first I did so blindly, finding out which song was next by having its intro fill my ears. I stopped proceeding right into the brunt of the unknown after a few months, following an incident (on which I based the story Change is Coming: No More Shuffling Blind) where this song came at random, and it was as if someone decided its very abrupt ending (originally this song would continue right into the next song on its album) was the perfect moment to throw in a jarring blast from his pipe organ.
All right, I can hear you now: Pipe organ? The page that link leads to mentions no such instrument.
Well, that is not of general interest when it comes to parodying, so you will have to take my word from here. Anyway, Walk Like Humans
is my revenge.
