Jurassic Park (song) - Lyrics and Composition

Lyrics and Composition

Part of the humor of the song lies in the contrast between the catastrophic events of the movie, with much loss of human life and destruction of property, and the cynical banality of the singer's complaints, i.e., "This has been one lousy day," and "What a crummy weekend this has been." Additional humor is found in the contrast between this relationship and that of the original song's lyrics, which reach a great emotional climax over the loss of a cake during a rainstorm.

The parody features only parts of the song, the verses, choruses, the instrumental (shortened), and the ending. The middle section ("There will be another song for me...") is omitted. Intermixed during the interlude are various dinosaur sound effects courtesy of Sandy Berman.

Famous quotes containing the words lyrics and/or composition:

    Chad and I always look for deeper meanings; we can analyze Beastie Boys lyrics for hours.
    Amy Stewart (b. 1975)

    Boswell, when he speaks of his Life of Johnson, calls it my magnum opus, but it may more properly be called his opera, for it is truly a composition founded on a true story, in which there is a hero with a number of subordinate characters, and an alternate succession of recitative and airs of various tone and effect, all however in delightful animation.
    James Boswell (1740–1795)
