    BURN IT DOWN Parody

    The pizza was eaten
    And my stomach was grumbling loud
    I tried to relieve it
    But couldn't even figure out how
    And you were there at the bathroom
    You weren't letting me in...

    It's building up
    And it's not breaking down
    It's building up
    But not breaking down
    Someone help me wash this pizza down

    I felt like shitting
    But the bathroom was occupied
    I wanted to get rid of it
    But your "2 seconds" turned to five
    And you were there at the bathroom
    You weren't letting me in....
    And I was waiting at the door
    My waste was about to hit the floor

    It's building up
    And it's not breaking down
    It's building up
    But not breaking down
    Someone help me wash this pizza down

    You told me that I could come in
    And when the door opened I started running
    I tried to hold it but let out gas
    And soon the pizza shop was filled with laughs
    My face turned bright, tomato red
    And I felt something run down my leg
    And then I looked at the ground
    And noticed something smelly, and dark brown

    And I waited at the door
    But ooops it hit the floor...

    It built itself up
    And it came right out
    It built itself up
    And came right out
    I can't wait to run out of this place and hide

    The syllables in your parody are off.

    Syllable count and lines:

    Your version
    And you were there at the bathroom - 8 syllables
    Original
    And you were there at the turn - 7 syllables

    Your version
    It's building up - 4
    And it's not breaking down - 6
    It's building up - 4
    But not breaking down - 5
    Original
    We're building it up - 5
    To break it back down - 5
    We're building it up - 5
    To burn it down - 4

    I really SHOULD go on but I'm not going to. There are certain instances, like your parodied line of "All that I needed" in the first verse that is fine even with an incorrect syllable count due to it fitting the word in terms of flow (needed/relieved). The ones I pointed out just lead to awkward delivery. I'd say you have an okay idea here but the delivery is terrible. I'm hoping for a second draft in the future.

    I'll definitely rewrite this and construct it better. This was all off the top of my head. Literally line after line. I typed it all out at once and posted it.

    Yeah, I know the feeling. I'm slightly known on the forums for song parodies. And by slightly known, I mean I used to do it all the time. There was even a point on an LPA podcast where I wrote a verse and chorus parody of Blackout concerning Super Mario based on a comment Derek made about 2 minutes before. Then performed it on the Podcast. Them's the breaks.
