"MacGyver" Parody

Here's a parody song I wrote for fun. Some of the lyrics are totally out of character for MacGyver to be saying because he would never be boasting as the original song basically is. And MacGyver probably wouldn't be listening to or singing this kind of R&B style music. And there's a couple of references to various things MacGyver's been compared to in the parody. And I think all this just makes the whole thing all the more funny. So enjoy it and keep on MacGyverin'! :-)



"MacGyver" -12/06/2007 (parody of "Survivor" by Destiny's Child)


(Verse 1)
Now Jack Bauer might save your life,
I'm so much better
You thought you'd get that geek to save ya,
But I'm stronger
You thought that those Heroes would help ya
But I'm efficient
(Well) I fought as one man without guns
And lack powers
You thought Murder She Wrote confounds ya
Now I'm wiser
You thought that the Professor would save ya
But I'm smarter
You thought that in duress I'd flounder
But I'm chillin'
You thought I couldn't quell disasters
Saved 6 billion!

(Chorus)
I'm the MacGyver (What)
I'm not gonna give up (What)
I'm not gonna stop (What)
I'm gonna work smarter (What)
I'm a subscriber (What)
Popular Mechanics (What)
All the bylines (What)
Keep on surprising (What)
I'm the MacGyver (What)
It's not "MacGiver" (What)
I'm not on the clock (What)
(But) I'm gonna reconnoiter (What)
I'm a real fighter (What)
I'm gonna make it (What)
I will survive (What)
Keep on MacGyverin' (What)

(Verse 2)
Thought I couldn't breathe and I'm through-
I'm inhaling
You thought I couldn't see to stop you-
Perfect vision
You thought I couldn't last the torture-
But I'm lasting
You thought that I would die 'n' give out (yeah)
But I'm living
Thought that I would sell friends out (yeah)
(But I) Can't be bought
Thought I would give over by now
But I won't stop
You thought that bomb would self-destruct
But I'm still here
Even with a nuclear bomb
I'm still gon(na) be here

I'm, uh- MacGyver!
(Repeat rest of Chorus)

(Bridge)
I'm wishing for the best
Pray that God will bless
My best guess, my Swiss, and lots of duct tape-yes!
(I'm betting on that)
I'm not gonna blast you like on Hunter- no!
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna lie to you- it's a family show
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna pity fools- it ain't The A-Team
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna compromise- like Keith Green's LP
(I'm getting on that)
You know I've got a hundred million views on the Internet
Browse for "MacGyver" and see what you can get

I'm, like, MacGyver!
(Repeat rest of Chorus)

Oh (Oh)x8

(In) spite of all of the darkness and badness
Still comes happiness
If I surround myself with positive thinks,
I can do anything!

I'm A. MacGyver!
(Repeat rest of Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)
