My Taylor Swift Parody - "32"

As my birthday passed last week and I aged another year, I realized one thing: I'm getting old.  Luckily for me, and you of course, writing has no age limitations.  So I put my writing skills to the test to offer up a fun, little jab at my aging self.  And I thought what better way to do it than through the guise of Taylor Swift song.  Her song, "22", is fairly popular, and seeing as I just turned 32, I thought it was the perfect fit.  So here is my Taylor Swift parody song, "32".

It feels like a perfect night to pretend I’m young again
And stay out all night, uh uh, uh uh
It feels like a perfect night to relive my 20s
And search for my true love, uh uh, uh uh

Yeah
We’re balding, old, and fat, and out of place
It’s comical and memorable
Oh yeah
Tonight’s the night we realize we’re too old for this
It’s time

Oh oh!
I don’t know about you
But I’m feeling 32
Everything will be alright
If I can just make it through
You don’t know about me
Nor do you want to
Everything will be alright
If I just stop dancing cuz I’m
32, ooh ooh
32 ooh ooh

It seems like one of those nights
This place is too loud
Too many young kids uh uh, uh uh (who are those old guys anyway?)
It seems like one of those nights
We go home early and end up achy
What were we thinking?!

Yeah,
We’re sad, pathetic, old, and balding in the best way
It’s radical and memorable
Oh yeah
Tonight’s the night when we forget about the pipe dreams
It’s time

Oh oh!
I don’t know about you
But I’m feeling 32
Everything will be alright
If I can just make it through
You don’t know about me
Nor do you want to
Everything will be alright
If I just stop dancing cuz I’m
32, ooh ooh
32 ooh ooh
I don’t know about you
32, ooh ooh
32 ooh ooh

It feels like one of those nights
What was I thinking?
It feels like one of those nights
Wish I was sleeping
It feels like one of those nights
I feel exhausted
I gotta sleep now
I gotta sleep now

Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, yeeeeah, hey
I don’t know about you
But I’m feeling 32
Everything will be alright
If I can just make it through
You don’t know about me
Nor do you want to
Everything will be alright
If I just stop dancing cuz I’m
32, ooh ooh
32 ooh ooh
32, ooh ooh, yeah, yeah
32 ooh ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah

It feels like one of those nights
What was I thinking?
It feels like one of those nights
Wish I was sleeping
It feels like one of those nights
I feel exhausted
I gotta sleep now
I gotta sleep now


Here is the original song and video so you can follow along and compare if you'd like.


Let me know what you all think, and, maybe if there's enough positive response I'll consider making my own music video.
