This is the tenth of a series<\/a> of pop-music parodies for Shakespeare fans.<\/p>\n

Bon Appetit!<\/p>\n

\nGristle<\/strong>
\nsung to the tune of “Whistle”<\/p>\n

(With apologies to Flo Rida and the faint of heart…)<\/p>\n

Did you get some gristle, maybe, gristle maybe?
\nLet me know.
\nI used a different kind of meat that seemed more apropos.
\nYou just grind the bones to powder and you cook it slow.
\nDid you get some gristle maybe, gristle maybe?
\nLet me know.<\/p>\n

I heard you like sweet pies,
\nBut I bet you\u2019d like meat pies;
\nAnd so now take a look,
\nI\u2019m dressed like a cook,
\nTo invite you to eat pies.<\/p>\n

You are, my gracious lord, welcome.
\nAnd, dread queen, you too are welcome.
\nYe war-like Goths sure are welcome.
\nLucius and all, you are welcome.<\/p>\n

Hope you won\u2019t complain;
\nHave some more champagne;
\nHave one more helping.
\nEvery bite you savor
\nCarries a distinctively curious flavor,
\nBut the truth is really much graver…<\/p>\n

Did you get some gristle, maybe, gristle maybe?
\nLet me know.
\nI used a different kind of meat that seemed more apropos.
\nYou just grind the bones to powder and you cook it slow.
\nDid you get some gristle maybe, gristle maybe?
\nLet me know.<\/p>\n

Gristle, maybe? Gristle, maybe?
\nGristle, maybe? Gristle, maybe?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nYou just grind the bones whole,
\nThen mix with blood in a bowl.
\nMake sure the paste is rolled.
\nUse a spatula to fold.
\nWith just one hand to hold,
\nThe dish is best served cold.<\/p>\n

The vilest Vandal can\u2019t hold a candle
\nTo these two villains, so much more than I could handle.
\nSo I baked them into pies from corona to sandal,
\n\u2018Cause you never want to mess with Titus Andro.
\nI fed them to their momma, and that\u2019s the scandal.<\/p>\n

So amusing, so if you get some gristle, it\u2019s confusing,
\nWhen you see now how the pies are simply oozing
\nWith the special kind of meat that I\u2019ve been using.<\/p>\n

Did you get some gristle, maybe, gristle maybe?
\nLet me know.
\nI used a different kind of meat that seemed more apropos.
\nYou just grind the bones to powder and you cook it slow.
\nDid you get some gristle maybe, gristle maybe?
\nLet me know.<\/p>\n

Gristle, maybe? Gristle, maybe?
\nGristle, maybe? Gristle, maybe?<\/p>\n

I killed your sons; you consumed them,
\nIn the meat pies that entombed them.
\nYou ate your kin; that\u2019s so trippy.
\nLet\u2019s call it a family, family, family recipie.
\nSo, dread queen, now you know \u2013 oh oh oh.
\nIt\u2019s like that Sweeney Todd show \u2013 oh oh.<\/p>\n

Did you get some gristle, maybe, gristle maybe?
\nLet me know.
\nI used a different kind of meat that seemed more apropos.
\nYou just grind the bones to powder and you cook it slow.
\nDid you get some gristle maybe, gristle maybe?
\nLet me know.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
