I'm not a homosexual and my heart is pretty set
But there is one man I've loved that way named Stephen Merritt

The soundtrack to my life I have worn out every cassette
In my Busby Berkeley I've danced with Stephen Merritt

If he taught a class on songwriting I'd be the teacher's pet
I've already learned all that I know from Stephen Merritt

With his mastery of language and a voice that makes me sweat
My heart skips a beat when I hear Stephen Merritt

Whether backed by an orchestra, a uke or string quartet
None of that affects my love for Stephen Merritt

He probably won't like this song 'cause I use the wrong emphasis
And he also doesn't like slant rhymes, Stephen Merritt

I'd grow a great big beard or shave it smooth with Gillette
I'd be a bear or a twink for Stephen Merritt

Realistically I'm just some dude on the internet
Who knows he'll probably never meet Stephen Merritt

ALMOST as good as original..I wrote a parody to the parody but most likely will not post. Cheers!!

[therockcookiebottom]

@poopylungstuffing Aw, thanks! You're too kind. Your cover is great!

[SirHatchporch]

As much as I usually love The Magnetic Fields, I have to say that the new song doesn't do much for me. This is much better. :-)

[therockcookiebottom]

@SirHatchporch Wow, really?

[theneedledrop]

bwahahahahahahaha. i'm really happy you liked the song as much as i did!

[therockcookiebottom]

@theneedledrop Was * literally* just going to send this to you.

[hollium]

Dude, you've spelt 'Stephin' wrong all the way through

[SlangForEyesores]

I am in accordance with the overall message of this song. I too am heterosexual, that is all

[beeblmeyer]

"I'd be a bear or twink for Stephen Mer-rit."

Now, *that's* love.

Great song.

I hope you meet him one day, too, Mr. Mann.

[pressove]

I hope you'll meet him someday!

[BethGoth15]

This is pretty much how I feel about Meryl Streep. I've been straight since I came out of the womb, but Meryl Streep just makes my stomach flutter every time I see her.

[BethGoth15]

@harrysplacevids Me too. He smiled at me <3 Needless to say, I was pretty starstruck!

[harrysplacevids]

Oh, that's lovely! I met Stephin once - he was cool and extremely nice. I hope he hears this song!

[paperbulletspress]

Fabulous! This is the first Magnetic Fields song I've ever heard and I instantly loved it, and I love your parody too

[tomathyuk]

This is actually amazing. The fact that the graphics make you look mildly insane-looking is even better.

[SirHatchporch]

@therockcookiebottom Yeah, I'm serious. "Realism" didn't do much for me either, so I've been on the wane for a bit. But your song is a charming and clever homage to Mr. Merritt. Well done.
