Headline News Lyrics

Once, there was this kid who
Took a trip to Singapore and brought along his spray paint
And when he finally came back
He had cane marks all over his bottom
He said that it was from when
The warden whacked it so hard
Mmm mmm mmm mmm, mmm mmm mmm mmm

Once there was this girl who
Swore that one day she would be a figure skating champion
And when she finally made it
She saw some other girl who was better
And so she hired some guy to
Club her in the kneecap
Mmm mmm mmm mmm, mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm, mmm mmm mmm mmm

They got paid for their sound bites
And sold their TV movie rights

And then, there was this guy who
Made his wife so mad one night that she cut off his weiner
And when he finally came to
He found that Mr. Happy was missing
He couldn't quite explain it
It'd always just been there
Mmm mmm mmm mmm, mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm, mmm mmm mmm mmm

Ahh ahh ahh ahh, ahh ahh ahh ahh
Ahh ahh ahh ahh, ahh ahh ahh ahh

i think this song is about how many weird stories make the "HEADLINES"...the music video really gives you more of an understanding than just listening to the song... really funny....

The first portion is about a guy named Michael Faye (i think, something Faye) an american guy who came over to singapore and vandalised some cars, and the big deal that was made about his punishment (caning, which is a routine punishment for minor offences in singapore, Sometimes for major ones too, in addition to jailtime.)

Second part's about Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan, for those of you that don't know.

Last part's about Lorena Bobbit. I think that one's self-explanatory. Song's basically mocking the weird shit we do.

Weird Al, ever the twisted musical jester. This probably ranks as my favorite Weird Al parody. I didn't know such a comedian could make such a twisted social statement.

Weird Al is is a genius. A musical genius, musicians would agree he's up there with Frank Zappa.

Well I'm sure most of you know, but it hasn't been mentioned yet. This is a parody of Mmmm Mmmm Mmmmm by the Crash Test Dummies, and is absolutely brilliant. Weird Al at his best
