Will they go the way of MySpace or will this truly blow over in a few week?

    I enjoyed reading that song, but I can’t help but be bothered that the author kept adding an extra line.

    The verses are sets of three lines, eventually followed by"The day the music died." All of the verses have four lines, and it’s freakin me out, man.

      “The day the music died” line comes right before the chorus, not after it. These parody lyrics look alright to me.

        API calls would be worth a fortune
        And Only Fan girls would come out to play
        Replacing users with monkeys
        And the users wept and cried

        These lines all don’t fit into the song.

        Each verse goes 3 lines, 3 lines, 4 lines, 3 lines, The Day the Music Died. For example:

        "Did you write the book of love
        And do you have faith in God above
        If the Bible tells you so

        Now do you believe in Rock and Roll
        Can music save your mortal soul
        Can you teach me how to dance real slow

        Well, I know that you’re in love with him
        'Cause I saw you dancing in the gym
        You both kicked off your shoes
        Then I dig those rhythm and blues

        I was a lonely teenage broncin’ buck
        With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
        But I knew I was out of luck

        The day the music died
