It’s been— two weeks since you hired me
Cocked my head to the side and said, “I’m angry”
Five days since you laughed at me, saying
“Go find a knife, come back and stab me”
The Barenaked Ladies had a song with some of the lyrics of all time such as
“Chickity China the Chinese chicken/
Have a drumstick and your brain starts clickin’”^1
“Like Harrison Ford, I’m getting frantic/
Like Sting, I’m tantric/
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy/
Like Kurosawa, I make mad films, 'kay, I don’t make films/
But if I did they’d have a Samurai”^2
^1 a reference to A Tribe Called Quest
^2 a bunch more references
The song has an “Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny” style reference humour thrown at the listener in a rapid fire fashion. References ranging from Japanese cinema to classic hip hop to the Kāmasūtra to DC comics.

This might genuinely be the best comment I’ve ever seen on chapo dot chat.
Can you explain it? Is it lyrics or something?

The parody is better than the original, par for this band
Here’s the music vid now you have an ear worm.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I immediately read that with full vocals and musical background. Nice job!
Kind of guy who laughs at a funeral. Don’t understand what I mean? Well, you soon will.
