We Will Rock You parodies

Only a handful of rock songs really became enduring schoolyard parodies, but one of those was "We Will Rock You"

I had no idea as a kid that the real words were not:

We will, we will rock you,
sock you, pick you up and drop you


An Atlanta variation, based on the "tomahawk chop" done at Braves games was

we will, we will rock
stop you, tomahawk chop you


Sherman records two versions going around in the early 90s from New York to Louisiana:

We will, we will you know what
kick your butt
all the way to pizza hutt
While you're there, comb your hair
then we'll take your underwear


That was the NY version. Down in Louisiana, it went:

We will, we will
kick your butt
to pizza hutt
comb your hair
comb your hair
and don't forget your underwear
is it black? it is blue?
oh my gosh, it's full of poo!

  1. between about 2003 to 2005 in Seattle, Washington, I have heard the following all together, but sometimes separately;

    We will, we will, rock you
    Sock you
    pick you up and drop you
    and flush you down the toilet
    and hope that you enjoy it
    and turn you into a pear
    in your underwear
    and make you kiss a bear
    and sting you with a bee
    in your own pee
    and kick your butt
    all the way to pizza hut

    And then in 2012, my brother started singing around the house "Throw you in a dungeon and lock you"

  5. Back in 3rd grade (so like mid 2000s) this was the version we sang:
    "We will we will rock you
    sock you
    pick you up and drop you
    flush you down the toilet
    hope you enjoy it
    suck your toe
    all the way to Mexico"
