Okay, so I was told to write a parody of a song as an assignment in my Creative Writing class, so I did.

I always was under the impression that I could parody okay, but not the best. I decided to parody Michael Jackson's Thriller. It's called Filler and it's about Filler TV episodes.

Now, if it's bad, just tell me and include what is wrong. I do have to have three different drafts turned in. So, tell me what you think?

Quote:
Filler

It's close to show time
And something boring's
Waiting to be shown
Under the lamplight
You hear the theme song
So you start to cheer

You try to pause
To get some snacks
But the buttons not working
You then give up
As the cast appears
Right on the screen
It's the first scene

But this is Filler
Filler night
And no ones gonna watch it
Cause it's off the main plot line
Yeah this is Filler
Filler night
You fighting off the sleep
Watching this
Boring Filler
Tonight

You hear the commercial play
And open your eyes to see
That it's a break
You feel so tired
And wonder how
You'll ever stay awake

You close your eyes
As the show comes back
and begins to play
But all the while
You feel the boredom
Creeping into you
You won't make it through

'Cause this is Filler
Filler Night
There ain't no second chances
You've wasted an hour of your life
Filler
Filler Night
You're fighting of the sleep inside this
Boring Filler
Tonight

Night shows are failing
The people are wailing
For an update
There's no escaping
The plot of the show this time
(It's open wide)
Continue the main plot line

It's written poorly
There's bad jokes coming
In from every side
They will really stress you
Unless you change that number
On the dial

Now is the time
For you and I to change
This stupid channel
All through the night
It'll save you from the boredom on the screen
It'll make you see

That this is Filler
Filler night
And It will kill you more
Than any spin-off show will dare try
Filler
Filler Night
So let me change the channel
On this
Boring Filler
Tonight

Cause this is Filler
Filler Night

And It will kill you more
Than any spin-off show will dare try
Filler
Filler Night
So let me change the channel
On this
Boring Filler
Tonight

It's gonna kill you tonight

Boredom falls across the house
It fills you, your child, and your spouse
It's killing you like I said it would
You should have changed the channel when you could
And those whoever shall be found
Watching this show get put in the ground
Shall stand and face the happiness
For the show is over and they must confess

That the foulest episode was on the air
And it stunk; the worst of the entire year
And horrible jokes from every tomb
Are being told; they'll seal your doom
And though you fight to stay awake
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere critic can resist
The boredom
Of the Filler

(Cue Vincent Price laugh)
