This is another parody on request, from my Dad who suggested I take on the bizarre but effective Uninvited. I haven't quite worked out who the speaker is, but I figure with all the people being knighted lately, there must be at least one poor schmuck who isn't quite sure why...
Knighted
Like anyone would be,
I am flattered that you gave this title to me.
Like courtly heroes and Beatles,
I am apparently exotic and brave.
Oh, I am very proud.
I have been knighted.
Sure hope you got it right!
I've not done any fighting
Or climbed Mount Everest.
I have a hard time telling
Just what it is I do best.
But I am very proud.
I have been knighted.
Sure hope you got it right!
Like someone part of a fairy story,
I feel like I must be dreaming.
You speak of my skills like
I am, quite simply, someone you adore.
And I am very proud.
I have been knighted.
Sure hope you got it right!
Though I'm not sure I'm worthy,
This honor's something I appreciate.

Iconic (Ironic, Alanis Morisette)
It occurred to me the other day that every song I have parodied was written and performed by a guy, barring Mary Travers, who's only one of three so I'm not sure that quite counts, and Julie Andrews. Anyway, I figured I'd better introduce a tiny bit of gender equality. But isn't it Ironic that the song is an anthem to... yet another guy? Am I really this misogynistic? Well, at least I mention Lois and Martha...
Iconic
He wears capes and sports an "S"
Emblazoned in red on a suit on his chest.
I don't know why he's eager to be
Everybody's savior, but it's fine with me.
And isn't he iconic? Dont'cha think?
Like a plane or a bird in the sky.
Everybody cheers when they notice him fly.
He is such a nice, helpful kind of a guy.
No wonder they call him Super!
He loves Lois Lane, who's a hard-hitting girl.
He is so busy saving all of the world,
But still every once in a while he gets away
To tiny Smallville to visit his mom for the day.
And isn't he iconic? Dont'cha think?
Like a plane or a bird in the sky.
Everybody cheers when they notice him fly.
He is such a nice, helpful kind of a guy.
No wonder they call him Super!
Well, he has a funny way
Of sneaking into his suit when everything's not okay and putting everything right.
Oh, he has a funny way of helping you out when you think everything's gone wrong
'Cause he's a hero from outer space...
He acts shy when he is in his disguise.
He wears eyeglasses in front of his eyes.
He is Jimmy's best friend; they are a couple of nerds.
He has only held onto his job
'Cause of how speedily he types words.
And isn't he iconic? Don'tcha think?
A little too iconic... Yeah, I really do think.
Like a plane or a bird in the sky.
Everybody cheers when they notice him fly.
He is such a nice, helpful kind of a guy.
No wonder they call him Super!
He has a funny way of sneaking on his suit.
He has a funny, funny way of helping you out,
Helping you out.
