Zombified song lyrics "freshly exhumed every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday."
200908191039 "Rippin' Off Your Skin"

To the tune of "Blowin' In The Wind" by Bob Dylan

How many lobes must a ghoul gulp down
Before he eats the whole brainpan?
How many skulls must a sniper nail
Before her rifle has jammed?
Yes, n' how many bites must I take of this guy
Before I've digested his hand?
The zombies my friend, are rippin' off your skin
The zombies are rippin' off your skin

Yes, n' how many folks must cease to exist
Before it's called a "killing spree"?
Yes, n' how many years in this mall can we subsist
'Til we're forced by bikers to flee?
Yes, n' how many towns must shamblers infest
Before they all turn to debris?
The zombies my friend, are rippin' off your skin
The zombies are rippin' off your skin

Zombaritaville

    Zombies and music. What’s not to like?
    And I was wondering (on a topic about zombies) about how long it would take to invoke “Jacko’s Law.” :D

    I’ve always sung “I’m Only Happy When It Rains” as “I’m Only Happy Eating Braaaaaiiins”.

  • zoetrope

    god damnit, im so over this blase zombie obsession.

  • mujadaddy

    Zombies are the new Pet Rock. Again.

    Well let me tell you ’bout the way she looked
    how her brains tasted, the color of her hair

    If I had a time machine, the first thing I would do (okay, the second thing, after taking another shot at Mary Jane Phelps) would be to get George Romero’s father shitfaced passing-out drunk 9 months before wee georgie’s birth day, thus sparing the world all this ridiculous flesh-eating zombie bullshit THAT JUST WON’T FUCKING STOP!

  • Sef

    For remix lyrics I prefer the Ryan Harvey satire “The times they are not achangin”

    Come gather round people and fall to your knees
    and bow to the red white and blue m16′s
    if you liked the riot cops you’ll love the marines
    they’ll be at all of your demonstrations
    to beat up your bodies and tear down your dreams
    for the times, they are not a-changin’

  • Phikus

    Hey, at least this post isn’t about Jacko…

  • trippcook

    OMG!!!!! Zombies put into the lyrics!!!!! I have literally never seen anything as hilarious and original in my life.

  • gjtorikian

    @TRIPPCOOK

    Seriously. This zombie stuff is getting old.

  • Rezpect

    Funny.

  • mizike

    aah Bub the Zombie…you were my first sign that George Romero was losing it and would never again create a movie as good as Night of the Living Dead or Dawn of the Dead…In fact the less said about his career post 1980 the better…

    Three hundred years ago
    I thought I might get some sleep
    I stretched myself out onna antique bed
    An’ my spirit did a midnite creep

    You know I’ll never sleep no more

    It seem to me that it just ain’t wise

    Didja ever wake up in the mornin’
    With a zomby woof behind your eyes

    Just about as evil as you could be…

  • snakedart

    Dear Hipsters,

    We get it. You like the zombies.

    Thanks,

    The Rest of the World

    Iwood@~9: Yup. As with so many other things, Frank got there first. ;D
