Song title change-a-letter... - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Basically, what it says...
Take a song title, change, add or subtract a letter to completely alter the expectations from the song, and add a tag line, if you want.

Examples?

"Kill All Your Fiends" My Chemical Romance

"Eye Of The Tigger" Survivor

"Girls Just Pant To Have Fun" Cyndi Lauper

I'm sure there's better ones out there, though....

I've never heard the original, but I think 'Bill All Your Friends' would be a winner. I feel they should have to pay to experience my glorious company...
