So, one of my dreams is to be the next Weird Al Yankovic. I've been writing song parodies since elementary school. This by far has been the most challenging. I was amazed Weird Al could pull this off (lyrics and vocals, wow!), and I am so proud of the parody I was able to do.
Over the years, I've written parodies about the places I've worked, but have always felt I was too shy or that it wasn't the right workplace to share them with my coworkers.
Well, at my most current job, we have stand-up at 10 o' clock sharp. Stand-up is a general meeting, and anyone who is late must sing or dance for the group. With the summer approaching, the morale will be very low and I am hoping I could boost people's spirits by coming a couple minutes late every Friday and singing one of my parodies.
I have three hotel-related song parodies and all are clean. This one in particular I have been dying to take on but wasn't sure how. I've listened to Weird Al's version but it wasn't until tonight when I listened to the original song where I found my inspiration. This took me close to three hours before I felt confident. It literally took me an hour per each big rap segments.
This is "My Tribute to the Houseman: Stockin' Linen", a parody of "Ridin' Dirty" by Chamillionaire as well as a parody-on-parody of "White and Nerdy" by Weird Al Yankovic
They see me rollin’, they cleanin’, patrollin’ and tryin’ to catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
I wanna roll with the keepers
They hopin’ that they gonna catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
Amy think they can see me clean
I’m tense so it ain’t easy to be seen
When you see me pass by I can see them clean
And their shine on the deck and the TV screen
Work for a new chick and she’s like “hold up”
Next to feeling mucho consola I have a drill tip and a soda
Turn a work order into a coma
Girl you ain’t know, I’m crazy like Carol though
Just tryin’ to work, ain’t trying to have no lazy
Days to clean so I pull in ladies
Cuz y’all patrolling and you know they need me
Work orders all the way up to the maximum
I can speak for some dawgs cuz they ask for some
But we workin’ something that we have
And um will have a keeper stocked up for the maximum
Linen closet, and I’m drippin’ OH
Demanding now guest tippin’ low
Twin sheets ready like take this load
Omar pull up right behind and it’s in his arms
Windows open gotta stop pollution
Owners change, keepers like who is that nuisance?
This is the Hide-a-Bed when we out and cleanin’
Got work orders in every room except E building, but I’m still ain’t losing
They see me rollin’, they cleanin’, patrollin’ and tryin’ to catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
I wanna roll with the keepers
They hopin’ that they gonna catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
I’ve been workin’ and stockin’ fill up cuz a keeper can’t focus
I gotta get to home ‘fore the keepers scope this big ol mess again
Stockin’ all up in the mess man
Keepers been livid on that third room again
Trashed again, we lose again
Doin a hundred while I work on the bed
And rollin another one out, we livin like we ain’t goin home
I got a king pillow in my right hand, no ounce of hate for them all
Keep a keepers peace, work hard don’t fall
Comin’ pretty deep, when feeling tall
Yo I gotta get to the linen closets
Wanted by the owner and I got heat
Hot shots talk to the boss, we sneak sneak
Ha ha hope no one sees me, speaking freely
With no regards for them all we dodge em like screw them all
But I won’t get caught up and brought up on drama for no one but y’all
But keep this in mind, for a houseman call
Dial 702, and I won't be far
Ready or not we clean rooms for the day, housekeeper and your houseman pair
They see me rollin’, they cleanin’, patrollin’ and tryin’ to catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
I wanna roll with the keepers
They hopin’ that they gonna catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
Do what you thinkin’ so, I tried to warn you so
Tighten that blink of light, under that microwave, right?
A keeper upset for sure
Cause they think that they’re catchin’ me
With plenty of lightbulbs and swag
So they get behind me tryin’ to sweet talk beds
Look at my point of view and smilin’
Cause they denyin’ that it’s full-on summertime
Pull me over tryin’ to check my cart
Linen bags gotta check my time
Cause the big boss try to come up fast
And bein’ the houseman that I am I talk to them
Feeling so grand about my attitude
When they realize I ain’t even worried
Bet you’ll be leavin’ with a better attitude
I’mma work for you and then I’mma have to cruise
I’m number one in kudos to you
You can’t replace me plus you won’t have to
This is a message to the houseman saying WE LOVE YOU
I can’t be mad or tell them they should have known
Orders down, sittin’ smilin’ on my throne
Workin my phone, tryin’ a find a keeper feeling down
Like they couldn’t stop me, I’m about to pull up at your room and it’s on
They see me rollin’, they cleanin’, patrollin’ and tryin’ to catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
I wanna roll with the keepers
They hopin’ that they gonna catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
Tryin’ a catch me stockin’ linen
