Lad Threw a Stone

Parody of "Bad to the Bone" by George Thorogood
Parody Lyrics by Jeff James (the Parodud)
(1 Samuel chapters 16-17, sorry, George Thorogood ;-)

On the day He was chose',
The elders all stammered 'round.
Sammy say, "Is there others?"
THAT'S the royalty now."
Then Sammy quoth thus,
"His heart is what has shown.
We should not d'cide by face,
And Jesse, (dad), Dave's the one.
Dad, Dave's the one. Dad, Dave's the one.
D-d-d-dad, D-d-d-dad, D-d-d-dad, Dad, Dave's the one.

He smote a round of bears.
He'll war for the Jews.
He'll slay ten thousands more, baby.
Saul, though, will be blue.
God's gonna restore His sweet nation.
Chose man for the throne.
He'll smear you Philistin-ies.
That's the lad who's then grown, lad who's then grown.
L-l-l-lad, L-l-l-lad, L-l-l-lad, lad who's then grown.

God says, then, which someone fell -
Man with blade that could one man wield.
God made then Goliath hush,
And I pray His wonders keep.
God's gonna restore His sweet nation.
Chose man for the throne.
Why Jesse's shepherd sonny?
Yet they're glad giant's prone.
G-g-g-glad, G-g-g-glad, G-g-g-glad, glad giant's prone.

And when they talk, blaspheme,
Kings have seen - don't defy
Holy, livin' deity.
He is praised, sanctified.
He's gonna help, then, His sweet nation,
But He decides - Dave on throne.
G'liath's future not funny
'Cause that lad threw a stone.
L-l-l-lad, L-l-l-lad, L-l-l-lad, lad threw a stone.
Note: Jeff James has written several Parodeities over the years. He has been gracious enough to rewrite many of the parodies appearing in the Parodeity section on Webster. He's done a great job improving some of these tunes in subtle and not-so-subtle ways. I'm absolutely thrilled that he has taken it upon himself to make these improvements; I had hoped when I put all my work in the public domain that it would encourage some people to make these types of modifications to the Parodeities to improve them. It is exciting to see someone doing this kind of work; I hope that Jeff's excellent work will encourage others to write new parodies or "ReVerse" existing parodeities. -- Randy Hyde

BTW, if you don't understand the "Paro-Dud" moniker, visit ApologetiX' site and check out the name of Karl Messner's production company; then you'll probably get the play on words.
