I was thrilled when Amanda Trujillo sent me her song parodies from the past 4 years of Dark Shadows festivals!    What a treat to have the opportunity to publish them so they can be enjoyed by all!!! 

Amanda is also a member of "The Collinsport Players", who perform HILARIOUS skits every year at the Dark Shadows Festivals!    

I am very pleased to announce that

Amanda Trujillo,

 is now a member of Shadows on the Web's

"Shadow Writers Society". 

 

Again...  I encourage all writers of gothic poetry, prose, songs, limericks, etc, to please submit your works to Shadows on the Web.

 

Here's her parody of "Vicki", sung to the music of 1981 hit song, "Mickey".

 

Cheers... Amanda!!! 

  

 

 

Vicki - ("Mickey") 
-- First performed at the Dark Shadows Tarrytown Festival, 2004
 
 
Oh Vicki, you're so blind; why don't you ever use your mind?
Hey Vicki, hey Vicki
Oh Vicki, don't be dense; please use some common sense, 
Hey Vicki, hey Vicki
Vicki, you are so naive; it's almost too much to believe, hey Vicki!
 
Hey Vicki!
He's only out at night; you never see him in the day 
Both Burke and Willie have told you to stay away
Now isn't that enough to set off a warning light, Vicki?
Ever since he came to town, the local livestock bleeds and dies
But when he talks about the past, you just sit there mesmerized 
You could be the next victim of his bloody appetite, Vicki
 
Oh Vicki, what a pity you don't understand
The real reason Barnabas can never get a tan
Oh Vicki, it's a shame you just don't understand
You're such an ingénue, Vicki
The things you do, Vicki, ooh Vicki
Can't you get a clue, Vicki?
 
Hey Vicki!
Now when you travel back in time, it would be kinda dumb
To tell everyone you meet that the future's where you're from
Unless you want to hang you'd better keep your profile low, Vicki
'Cause Reverend Trask and Abigail need someone to blame
And Angelique's decided it's you she wants to frame
Now if they ask if you hold séances, say it isn't so, Vicki
 
Poor Vicki, it's too late you just don't understand
Peter never should have put you on the witness stand
Vicki, you're always saying, 'I don't understand'
Well, you're the ingénue, Vicki
The things you do, Vicki, ooh Vicki
Get yourself a clue, Vicki!
 
Oh Vicki, you're so blind; can't you ever use your mind, 
hey Vicki, hey Vicki
Oh Vicki, don't be dense; please use your common sense, 
Hey Vicki, hey Vicki
Vicki, you are so naive; it's almost too much to believe, hey Vicki!
 
Oh Vicki, you don't realize the mess you're in
'Cause David is a menace and he should use Ritalin
In a battle of wiles, I'm afraid you wouldn't win
You're such an ingénue, Vicki
The things you do, Vicki, ooh Vicki
Better get a clue, Vicki...
 
Oh Vicki, it's too bad you'll never understand 
Why the search for your family didn't work out like you planned
Your identity's a mystery you'll never understand
You're just the ingénue, Vicki
The things you do, Vicki, ooh Vicki
Please get a clue, Vicki!
 
 
Oh Vicki, what a pity you don't understand
You would be much better off without this kooky Collins clan
Oh Vicki, it's a shame you just don't understand
You're the ingénue, Vicki
The things you do, Vicki, ooh Vicki

Get a clue, Vicki!
