I Love LA

I know many of you hate when I do song parodies. I'm more than happy to improve my content for a small fee. But until the checks start rolling in, I'll periodically do these.  Today I offer my take on Randy Newman's "I Love L.A."

This song is dedicated to my friend who is inexplicably experiencing L.A. nostalgia despite having moved to A Coruña, Spain.  Hopefully this will bring that confusion to an end.

Now just hit play and start singing.



Hate New York City
Too much to choose from
Culture and history aren't my style
Let's leave Chicago to the crazies
Who wants museums or Wrigley Field?
Nothing's worse than Geno's East

Crawlin' along at 10 miles an hour
Behind a diesel-belching pickup truck
Can't dodge the plumes, can't even change lanes
I'm going crazy as fuck

Roll up the windows crank up the A/C
'Cause it's one hundred and eight
This place is strip-mall ugly
And your can never find a parking spot

From San Dimas to Reseda
From El Monte to Del Aire
Everybody's very happy
'Cause Prop 215 legalized it
They're too stoned to see that it's crappy

I love L.A. (We love it?)
I love L.A. (We love it?)

Look at that smog
Look at that skeeze
Look at that druggie over there
He ran NBC
Look at these women
Ain't nothin' real about 'em

Barham Boulevard traffic (We love it?)
101 traffic (We love it?)
Highland Boulevard traffic (We love it?)
405 traffic (We love it? We love it?)

I love L.A.
I love L.A.
(We love it?)

Stay here!
