Just Another Day In Parodies
Cledus T. Judd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Phones ringin'
Secretary's sayin' that the mailman's bringin' me
A stack of see's
And assists.
Man I'm gettin' sick and tired of this.
Cause all I did was take a hit song.
Swear I didn't know it
That I was doin' any thing wrong.
Well, if Phil Vassar's
Mad at me
Well, it's just another day in parodies.
There's no song that's safe from me.
Well, make sure.
We'll see.
But I don't get any loyalty
Still I ask my label
Pretty please,
Ooh, for just another day in parodies.
I'm a big star
New cars
Never thought I'd take a joke this far after CMA's
I sat beside
Garth Brooks and his ex-wife.
But lately
It seems like
I catch hell for every song I write
Funny videos
I've done a few
Makin' people laugh's all I want to do.
But last night I had a bad dream.
CMT banned me
GAC canned me
They won't play no more comedy.
Well, lawsuits
Legal E's,
It's just another day in parodies.
Well, there's nothin else
I can really sing.
I'll take one of Faith's,
Two of Tim's.
I've always had great love for them.
That's my very own
Recipe
Ooh, for just another day in parodies.
Well if Shania Twain's
Mad at me
It's just another day in parodies.
But deep down
She wants to be Cledus T.
Cha-ching
Cha-ching.
I wish the cash register would ring.
Oh, I bet that Al
Would agree
Ooh, It's just another day in parodies.
Just another day in parodies.
("Oh, no. I'm not mad at you Cledus. You look nice. Nice hair, I like that. Ha,ha,ha")
The lyrics of "Just Another Day In Parodies" by Cledus T. Judd focus on the singer's experiences as a parody artist in the music industry. The song presents the frustrations that come from being a satirical songwriter who takes popular hits and rewrites them with humorous and often outlandish lyrics. The opening lines of the song reveal the chaos that often surrounds the life of an artist in the music industry, with writers screaming, phones ringing, and the secretary announcing the arrival of a stack of "sees" and assists, adding up to the many pressures that contribute to Judd's exhaustion.
Judd then sings about the problems that parody artists like him face, explaining that he often unwittingly uses songs that are copyrighted by other artists or songwriters. The lyrics describe how, despite his desire to make people laugh, he faces legal action from outraged artists like Phil Vassar and Shania Twain. The line "there's no song that's safe from me" highlights the fact that Judd's comedic inspiration can come from anywhere, making it difficult to predict whose work he will draw from next. The song ends on a humorous note, with Judd jokingly suggesting that Shania Twain secretly wants to be him, and that he wishes the cash register would keep ringing as his parodies continue to sell.
