I love writing parodies, so here is one to Adele's All I Ask. It is about the difficulties May faced with the post-production of Mikey and Nicky.
I will leave the reels at the door
I won’t say a word
You’ve f*cked me over before, you know
So why don’t we just play pretend?
Like I’m not scared of all your editors
Or scared of watching you butcher this film
Look, don’t get me wrong
I know there is no tomorrow
All I ask is
If this is my last film for you
Let me have the f*cking final cut
Give me memory I can use
Just please go and drop all your g*dd*mn lawsuits
It matters how this ends
‘Cause what if I don’t direct again?
I don’t need your honesty
It’s already in your eyes
And I’m sure my eyes say, “F*ck you” too
No one knows this film like I do
And since I’m the writer and director
Why can’t I edit too?
Look, don’t get me wrong
I know there is no tomorrow
All I ask is
If this is my last film for you
Let me have the f*cking final cut
Give me memory I can use
Just please go and drop all your g*dd*mn lawsuits
It matters how this ends
‘Cause what if I don’t direct again?
You beat me in court that first time
But this film’s my life, joy, and pride
I don’t mean to be cruel or vicious
And I ain’t asking for forgiveness
All I ask is
If this is my last film for you
Let me have the f*Icking final cut
Give me memory I can use
Just please go and drop all your g*ddm*n lawsuits
It matters how this ends
‘Cause what if I don’t direct again?
