We'd Like to Perch on Scorsese's Head!

[sdelmonte]

I don't really care much about the Oscars, but am glad to hear that Martin Scorsese, one of the great filmmakers of our time, finally won his due from the Academy.

I wanted to celebrate this by finding a clip from one of the "Goodfeathers" Scorsese tribute songs on YouTube, but to my surprise, there aren't any. You can find every musical number form Freakazoid! (a better cartoon than the "Goodfeathers" segments, to be sure) but none from the sketches in question.

So instead, lyrics in tribute to a master...

Scorsese's Head (parody of America)
Music by Richard Stone (via Bernstein)

(FS = Female Sparrow(s), MS = Male Sparrows)

FS : We wanna stay here on the rooftop!
MS : We don't!

MS : We'd like to perch on Scorsese's head!
Why can't we perch on Scorsese's head?
Goodfeathers perch on Scorsese's head!
Sparrows should perch on Scorsese's head!

FS : On the rooftop we get lots of sunshine.
MS : Don't want to perch on a clothesline!
FS : Up here we have a boid's-eye view.
MS : Humans drop food by the statue!

FS : We'd like to perch on Scorsese's head!
MS : Why can't we perch on Scorsese's head?
Goodfeathers perch on Scorsese's head!
All: We're gonna perch on Scorsese's head!
