Macaulay Culkin, the former child star best known for the Home Alone movie franchise, was thrust back into the spotlight in 2013 when word of a parody band he was playing with broke. The Pizza Underground plays medleys of Velvet Underground parodies, substituting the actual lyrics for ones about pizza. Though Macaulay Culkin and the band have amassed some controversy by fans of VU who feel the band is marring VU’s legacy, the music is all in good fun and completely non-serious. In fact, the band gets in a few pretty good jokes related to eating pizza. Here are just eight of Macaulay Culkin and the Pizza Underground’s funniest lyrics, guaranteed to make you crack a smile.
Number Eight: ‘Papa John Says’
Lyric: “But I didn’t want anchovies/ The people called and they said no mushrooms/ This pie’s cold and there’s mushrooms/ Get them off my pie.” A parody of The Velvet Underground’s “Stephanie Says,” …show more content…
Just keep the pizza coming!
Number Four: ‘Pizza Morning’
“Most of its gone (into my mouth)/ I was so hungry, now I am full/ I ate it for a little while/ I only ate the part with cheese/ Nom nom nom, have a bite of crust.” This line is actually a parody of “Run Run Run,” despite it being part of the track “Pizza Morning” (“Sunday Morning”), off the Pizza Underground EP, Live at Chop Suey. It’s still about eating leftover pizza in the morning, though, and vocalizes eating sounds with the inclusion of the onomatopoeia “nom nom nom.”
Number Three: ‘Pizza Gal’
“Better lock your door/ Or just order more.” Here, the “Femme Fatale” is a “Pizza Gal” who is ready to eat any pizza within her sight. This parody is a warning to make sure you keep an eye on your pizza, or if she’s already eaten yours, that you could just purchase more and share it with her.
Number Two: “Take a Bite of the Wild
