I
actually like the song 'Close To You' but I decided to do a parody of
it reversing the sentiment and implying the object of the song isn't so
desirable.
(They Long To Be) Close To You not by Burt Bacharach
Why do flies suddenly appear, every time you are near?
Unlike me, they long to be close to you.
Why do folk hold their noses tight, just on smell not on sight?
Can’t you see, it isn’t me - it is you.
Since the day that you were born you’ve had that certain something.
That makes everyone stay far away from you.
So they’ll cross the street if they see you coming,
Don’t deny it - you know it’s true.
That is why all the flies in town follow you all around.
Unlike me, they long to be close to you...

In my spare time I write parody songs, sketches and captions which I’ve decide to post here on my blog. You’ll be able to tell my eclectic comedy taste from some of the references and I freely admit my influences include Spike Milligan, Ronnie Barker, John Finnemore and Michael Bernstein (my Year 8 English teacher). The blog title is from Queen Victoria being famously misquoted as saying “We are not amused” so I’m using the correct quote, as mentioned in her diaries, of “I was very much amused"
