A Parody of a Parody: “Eat Fingers” by “Borderline Stupid Alfie” Serbovich (Based off of “Weird Al” Yankovic’s “Eat It”, a parody of Michael Jackson’s “Beat It”)

Eat It

How come you eat only food from Asia?
Don’t you know that this song will never rhyme?
Don’t you know that KFC’s slogan in China is
“Eat Fingers!” “Eat Fingers!” (burping noise)

Don’t want to debate on poorly-translated
Chinese to English in advertising
Cannibalism is all the rage, so they
“Eat Fingers!” It ain’t Finger-Lickin’ Good!

“Eat Fingers!” Fingers, Fingers, Fingers!
Grab yourself a combo meal and gorge it!

Kentucky Finger Cannibal
Kentucky Cannibals Suck!

“Eat Fingers!” “Eat Fingers!”

The Six Musical Degrees of Separation, Part 2: Triumvirat is Related to Michael Jackson

Triumvirat Michael Jackson

I’m not gonna lie; I’m a huge Michael Jackson fan! My all-time favorite song of his is “Billie Jean”, because it is an awesome, really catchy song. Right now, for the second edition of The Six Musical Degrees of Separation, I’m coming up with a link between Michael Jackson and Triumvirat, a progressive rock band that was the German clone of Emerson, Lake & Palmer, who were really big figures in the progressive rock movement. I remember I used to own a vinyl copy of Triumvirat’s 1975 album Spartacus, and it was a great album, by the way.

The relationship between Triumvirat and Michael Jackson is summed up in just two moves:

  1. In 1980, Triumvirat released their final album, an era when progressive rock was dying out, entitled Russian Roulette. The album consists almost entirely of new wave and power pop. Much of the guitar work was provided by famed session guitarist Steve Lukather.
  2. Steve Lukather played guitar on many tracks that were done by none other than Michael Jackson!

That was pretty simple, wasn’t it?
