VIDEO Tim Urban performs inevitable Taylor Swift and Harry Styles break up song
American Idol Season 9 veteran Tim Urban has created an entirely new genre music: cover versions of songs that haven’t been written yet! The 23-year-old singer has channeled the lyrics to what he believes to be the inevitable song written by Taylor Swift after she breaks up with current rumored boyfriend, One Direction’s Harry Styles.
The tune has just enough of a hook and just enough secret diary earnestness that it’s actually believable, while a the same time being humorous and charming. Tim might want to look into this as a legitimate career! I’m sure you could make a lot of money ghost writing Taylor Swift’s songs months ahead of time!
We’ve even decided to help out with our very own idea for an album cover and title:
And just in case you couldn’t watch the video because Youtube is blocked where you work, here are the lyrics. (You’ll have to make up your own melody.)
He was the wrong direction with a beautiful face
He made me smile on those December days
I thought for sure that we had something here
But now he’s gone to steal some poor girl’s tears
The same tears in her eyes
Are the same tears that I cried
It serves me right for thinking he was different
It serves me right for never ever listening
Next time there won’t be a next time for him
And he can keep his accent
Long hair, you know I have a weakness for that
And the silly way he wore those hats
How’d he know just what to say
To make me think that I felt that way
I felt so stupid
Maybe I was stupid
It serves me right for thinking he was different
It serves me right for never ever listening
Next time there won’t be a next time for him
And he can keep his accent
This time I’ll learn
I got what I deserve
Now I’m moving on
It serves me right for thinking he was different
It serves me right for never ever listening
Next time there won’t be a next time for him
And he can keep his accent
The song is actually the second Haylor parody (Harody?) music video to make headlines. Washington-based model and musician (and One Direction fan) Ashley (se7enteenblack on tumblr) shared her wonderful performance of “The Haylor Song (Trouble Parody)” on Youtube last week and it has been met with an outpouring of praise as well as 200,000+ views. Here’s the great clip followed by the lyrics:
“The Haylor Song (Trouble Parody)” lyrics
VERSE 1:
Once upon a time, once albums were debuted
Haylor was concieved, we panicked and we knew
she’d hurt him, she’d hurt him, she’d hurt him, him, him, him, him.
At first we didn’t care, we figured she’d back off
she’d always got around, we thought she’d take a walk,
and desert him, desert him, desert him, him, him, him, him.
But she’s still here, in the city.
now we realize, and we can agree.
CHORUS:
We knew she was trouble when snagged Styles.
how could we allow
Taylor to get him with her fake smiles
it seems he’s her’s now.
We knew she was trouble when she got Styles
so shame on us now
this fandom’s gettin’ kind of hostile
she’s gonna throw him in her “ex boy” pile.
HOOK:
Oh oh oh trouble trouble trouble.
Oh oh oh trouble trouble trouble.
VERSE 2:
Now Harry’s got it bad, they’re walking in times square
the fans can see it all, he doesn’t even care.
He’s blinded, he’s blinded, he’s blinded-ed-ed-ed-ed.
We heard they’re “so in love” from whispers on the street
but all she really wants, is a track for her cd
I hope he sees, I hope he sees, I hope he see see see see sees.
She’s so anal, a control freak
when he’ll realize, he’ll dump her next week.
CHORUS x HOOK
BRIDGE:
And the saddest fear, comes creeping in,
that we’d be pissed off, if he loved anyone, or anything,
yeah yeah yeah
CHORUS #2:
And now we’re gettin’ angry cause she snagged Styles
my dashboard hates her
let’s just say this sh!t better be worthwhile
cause if he dates her
she’s gonna put Harry through some tough trials
and write an album with his name on file….
