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.
