Remember that movie, Old Yeller? When I was a kid, that show scared me to death because of the ending. It made me think that just because someone is your best friend, events out of your control can turn him into a monster. The worst part was that it was Travis, the boy who had grown so attached to Old Yeller, who had to put the old boy down.

Remember that one song by Cold Play—”Yellow?” You know, “Look at the stars, how they shine for you”? Well, it was just begging to get a parody made out of it. So, I put the movie and the song together, and voila! Enjoy. It’s a work in progress, so feel free to comment.

“Old Yeller”
lyrics by “Stewart!”
music by Cold Play

There was a dog
Of a golden hue
A friend to me and you
Yeah, he was Old Yeller

He won their hearts
Cuz his doggy drool
Could fill a swimming pool
He was Old Yeller

He plowed the fields
Man, he was really cool
He was Old Yeller

His mouth
And tongue started to foam
Din’t call the vet, we didn’t have a phone
I took that gun, I took that gun
And blew that dog away

He saved some kid
Who was attacked by pigs
But that dog rescued him
Way to go, Yeller

A rabid wolf
Came to tear our throats
Our dog, he took the blow
He was Old Yeller

His mouth
And tongue started to foam
Din’t call the vet, we didn’t have a phone
I took that gun, I took that gun
And blew that dog away

There was a dog
Of a golden hue
Of a golden hue
Of a golden hue
Of a golden hue
Of a golden
There was a dog
Of a golden hue
