2.01: A NEW DAY IN THE OLD TOWN – The Fringemunks
Parody of “New Divide” by Linkin Park
All Parody Lyrics, Instruments, Production & Vocals by David Wu
POV: Peter Bishop
I was out with Walter shopping for some groceries
We were talking ’bout custard, then I received a call
We rushed to Manhattan and saw Olivia’s SUV
It was wrecked and needs repair, but Olivia wasn’t there
What’s the reason for Agent Jessup questioning me like that?
This is classified – I have no time for this
The SUV’s engine, it started up, the horn and siren wailed
Olivia blasted through the windshield, then lay still
When she crossed back to this side
At the hospital, we heard the diagnosis
They said her damaged brain was unrepairable
At the Irish Heather bar, Broyles and I toasted Olivia
I went back to the hospital, talked to Rachel in the hall
Olivia woke up, she spoke in Greek, she sat up, then she screamed
She says there’s something she needs to do to save lives
She can’t remember what it is
The case file shows George Reed’s face
But he was dead at the time of the wreck
At the lab, we notice 3 distinct holes
In George Reed’s soft palate
Then we realized the news
A shape-shifter’s on the loose
He’s a soldier, and he’ll stay on target
Till his objective is achieved
He turned into lady nurse
And tried to kill Olivia
But we stopped the soldier, who escaped, but we chased her
And then we heard gunshots
Charlie Francis stood over the nurse’s corpse
I’m glad he’s on our side
It’s been one crazy birthday
From now on, we’re calling the shots
VOICE: A shape-shifter cremated Charlie…
2.02: NIGHT OF DESIRABLE OBJECTS – The Fringemunks
Parody of “Mean Mr. Mustard”/”Polythene Pam”/”She Came In Through the Bathroom Window” by The Beatles
Music Composed by John Lennon abd Paul McCartney
All Parody Lyrics, Instruments, Production & Vocals by David Wu
POV: Peter Bishop
Mean Mr. Mole Man lives underground
Lurks in the dark, and he kills people
Digs a bunch of holes in the farm
Loves to cause the townspeople harm
His blue goo will numb your whole arm
Such a mean mole man
Such a mean mole man
His scruffy father, Andre Hughes
Was a retired doctor, and he wore flannel
We scoured his farmhouse in P.A.
We know why he had nothing to say
He knew we would link his DNA
To that scary mole man
To that scary mole man

Oh you should see Olivia Dunham
Her hip is injured, but she’s workin’ again
She’s got the scabs on her face
And she be using a cane
Yes you should see Olivia Dunham
Yeah yeah yeah
Back in Lansdale, the status was grim
Sheriff Golightly was the latest victim
There’s more for Hughes to tell
Olivia got to the cell
But saw that Hughes had hanged himself
Yeah yeah yeah
(The lights vibrate!)
(Let’s go upstairs now…)
(Oh look out!)
__________________________________________________
She shot her gun and barely missed me
She thought that I was someone else
Olivia knew I was flabbergasted
But I still covered up for her with Broyles
And I know she’s acting funny
And I know she’s hearing things
I guess she’s got amazing eardrums
Just point that gun away from me
And so I drove her back to Lansdale
We went to Hughes’ farmhouse again
We fought with mole man underground there
And he died when a cop car fell on him
I heard that Nina Sharp gave Dunham
An address to a bowling lane
Sam Weiss had helped Nina with her cancer
And he asked Liv: is your head in pain?
And I know she’s acting funny
And I know her hearing’s enhanced
She hears insects and traffic and bubbles
At least it isn’t flatulence
Oh yeah
2.03: FRACTURE – The Fringemunks
Parody of “Obsessed” by Mariah Carey
Music Composed by Mariah Carey, Christopher “Tricky” Stewart and The-Dream
All Parody Lyrics, Instruments, Production & Vocals by David Wu
POV: Olivia Dunham
I was like, “Can you just cut the Yoda crap
And tell me what’s happening to me?”
Oh, Oh, Oh – Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh – Oh, Oh, Oh
Two uniformed cops
They pulled to a stop
One of them walked to a coffee shop
But Dan Gillespie
He stayed in the car
Then Colonel Gordon gave him a call
So Dan Gillespie, he drove away
To a rail station in Philly, P.A.
Grabbed a briefcase from a ponytail dude
He crystallized and he went ka-boom
And I’m telling you – don’t pull that Yoda crap on me
I’m not here to bowl – don’t waste my time, you S.O.B.
Because I was told – that you were going to fix me
Oh, Oh, Oh
Why are you playing all these games with my head
Tell me now, or I’ll put a gun to your head
Oh my head it aches and my hand it shakes
And I’m losing my mind
It’s confusin’ yo, you’re confusin’ yo
Why you wasting my time?
You taught Nina Sharp how to eat french fries
With a cybernetic arm – is that right, Sam Weiss?
Oh, Oh, Oh
Don’t pull that Yoda crap on me
Oh, Oh, Oh – Oh, Oh, Oh (Are you listening?)
Oh, Oh, Oh – Oh, Oh, Oh (Are you listening?)
Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh, Oh (Yoda crap)
Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh, Oh (Yoda crap)
Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh, Oh (Yoda crap)
Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh, Oh
And so we pieced the body parts of Gillespie
As best as we could, but it looked nasty
At his wife’s house, I heard weird noises
And I saw weird images and heard strange voices
Barfed into a toilet for a while
Found medical kits behind a tile
We trace the kits to Project Tin Man
The files list doctors from Iraq
And I’m telling you, Sam Weiss – don’t pull that Yoda crap on me
I’m not here to bowl – don’t waste my time, you S.O.B.
Because I was told – that you were going to fix me
Oh, Oh, Oh
Well Peter and I arrived in Baghdad
We sit at a bar where I met Ahmed
Ahmed led us to some kitchen
To meet Dr. Malik Yusef
Malik told us ’bout the serum
With the cyanogen
Walter said the frequency for the bomb trigger
Was 331.6 Megahertz
Oh, Oh, Oh
Don’t pull that Yoda crap on me
Oh, Oh, Oh – Oh, Oh, Oh (Are you listening?)
Oh, Oh, Oh – Oh, Oh, Oh (Are you listening?)
Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh, Oh (Yoda crap)
Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh, Oh (Yoda crap)
Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh, Oh (Yoda crap)
Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh, Oh
We were able to catch Colonel Gordon
And stop Diane Burgess from exploding
Peter said he and his father are moving to another location:
Two bedrooms, semi-detached housing for professors
In a nice neighborhood, close to where William Bell used to live
And the sound system at the bowling alley
Was playing the Hollies song that goes:
“All I need is the air that I breathe…”
And I used both hands to point a gun at your head
And I realized that I didn’t need to use my cane
Oh, Oh, Oh
(gnimoc si raw)
2.04: MOMENTUM DEFERRED – The Fringemunks
Parody of “Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thang” by Dr. Dre
Music Composed by Tracy Curry, Calvin Broadus and Otha Haywood
All Parody Lyrics, Instruments, Production & Vocals by David Wu
POV: Olivia Dunham
One, Two, Three and to the Fo’
Down at the Harvard lab, I’m at the do’
I make my entrance, and ask Walter wassup
And see that Astrid’s chopping flatworms up
The blended worms could jog my memory, so I swallow
Then Walter held up a strawberry, now I know I’m in trouble
‘Cause ain’t nuthin’ but a fringe thang, baby
He’s a mad scientist and he’s crazy
FBI is the org that pays me
The worms are edible, but I’ll try not to barf this (aw yeah)
But uh, back to the plot at hand
At Elias Cryonics, there were murders by a van
Besides this crime, there were two more
That involved frozen heads, but what the hell for?
One of the corpse’s blood was silvery
It had consistency of the element mercury
Yeah – and I saw weird things
I saw a man and two towers, and I heard a bell ring – yeah
Charlie knelt down to get some detail
And Walter noticed Charlie was looking pale
Walter said that cannabis before bedtime is nice
Then he noticed a shape-shifter’s conversion device
It’s got wires and prongs and a box and uh
It’s got prongs and a box and wires and uh
It’s got a box and wires and prongs and uh
I meet with Broyles in a restaurant, yo!
Well we’re talkin’ and we’re thinkin’ ’bout this curious thread
And why the shape shifter soldiers want a frozen head
Now it’s time for Broyles to make his opinion felt
To give me protective detail, he feels compelled
But it’s been six weeks since they tried to kill me, though
If a shifter’s around, I’d have been killed befo’
And at the same time, despite my dope punches and kicks
Broyles knows and I know my luck has been nothin’ but shhhhhh
So Walter examines the corpse
Of the shifter, whose blood is half mercury
And the corpse that we thought was the 1st shifter
Had normal blood, so the real shifter’s still at large
He could be disguised as anyone
That’s right – he could be disguised as anyone
That’s right – we re-watch the tape of the experiment
With the drug episode
(Oh, here we go!)
(Oh, here we go!)
The girl conversed while LSD-immersed
She could see shifters from the other universe
She’s the R, E, B, E, double-C A
K, I, B, N, E, R all the way
But that was years ago, she’s a bit older now
Peter and Walter track her down somehow
Yeah, and she don’t quit
I think she’s in the mood for another LSD hit
So Pete… (Whattup Liv?)
Gotta give her what she wants (LSD?)
We’re gonna give her somethin’ (hallucinogens)
And it’s gotta be bumpin’ (City of Boston!)
This lab is the place where the crazy things happen
All in front of Gene the Cow – moo moo moo
Rebecca was groanin’ as time elapsed
Peter rang the bell, and then I collapsed
I finally recall my meeting with William Bell
I told him: I want answers, not tea, can’t you tell?
It’s a time slip and he can tell that I’m slippin’
Gotta get with Nina ’bout this symbol I’ve been given
Bell says that they prepared me to guard both sides
And that the shape changers are the first wave utilized
Yeah – then I woke up thanks to the adrenaline from Peter
Physics is a bee-otch and I’m a believer
Nina cracked snowglobes, for worlds will collide
And the man I thought was Charlie, was a shape shifter guy
I finally shot the shifter to permanently derail him
As for Bell’s task, I’m sorry that I failed him – yeah
It’s like Bishop, like Bell, and like Bishop and uh
It’s like Bell, and like Bishop, like Bell and uh
It’s like Bishop… Who knows what the future may hold?
We’ll find out in the next episode…
(Oh, here we go!)
(Oh, here we go!)
(Oh, here we go!)
(Oh, here we go!)
(Oh, here we go!)
2.05: DREAM LOGIC – The Fringemunks
Parody of “Lithium” by Nirvana
Music Composed by Kurt Cobain
All Parody Lyrics, Instruments, Production & Vocals by David Wu
POV: Peter Bishop
I’m so happy
‘Cause we moved into a new place
I have my own bed
Astrid gave Walter
Some Italian ciabatta bread
She gave me a file
In Seattle
Greg Leiter walked up to his boss
And saw a devilish head
Greg killed his boss
And his eyes were flitting back and forth
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah
Flew to Seattle
And visited Greg in the hospital
Then he started to shake
His hair turned to snow white
And he died in front of his wife
Then Walter said
Seattle is smelly
And it reminds him of St. Claire’s
He flies with the corpse
And Agent Kashner
Back to Boston and the Harvard lab
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah
Olivia and I question Greg’s wife
Turns out that Greg had walked in his sleep
He hadn’t had an episode in 6 months
We took his sleep journal with us
The journal said Greg had nightmares
It reminded me of my dreams as a child
From the age of 8 until 19
I can’t remember a single nightmare
Another incident
Involved a woman ramming her car
Into a motorcycle
Her hair was also snow white
Walter called me on the phone
He said he found
A computer chip embedded in Greg’s Thalamus
It regulates sleep
Greg and the woman
Both had identical neck scars
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah
Agent Broyles showed the chip to Nina Sharp
It was developed by Dr. Nayak of Seattle
It turns out he’s the Jeckyll-and-Hyde culprit
We kill him before he crashes a seaplane
Olivia visits Charlie’s grave
Weiss’s anagram decodes to “You’re Gonna Be Fine”
I remember a nightmare I once had
In the dream, I was yanked off of my bed
2.06: EARTHLING – The Fringemunks
Parody of “Let’s Stay Together” by Al Green
Music Composed by Al Green, Willie Mitchell and Al Jackson, Jr.
All Parody Lyrics, Instruments, Production & Vocals by David Wu
POV: Phillip Broyles
We couldn’t stay together…
I’m thinkin’ back to 4 years ago
The case of that damn shadow
That turned people into ash
Fringe Division was under intense review
And I just wanted a safer world for you
And now it seems, baby
It seems that shadow’s back now
Turned Randy Dancik into ash now
On his wedding anniversary
Sometimes I miss coming home to the kids and you
So I challenge other kids to monkey-see, monkey-do
Because of that case
We couldn’t stay together
That’s why we felt the force to divorce
It was the straw that broke the camel’s back
Oooo oooo ooo ooo, yeah
It was the straw that broke the camel’s back
Senator Van Horn tells me the CIA says now
That we cease and desist now
But I’ll still proceed
That Russian, Tomas Koslov’s real name’s Timur Vasiliev
(He’s ash now, baby)
His brother was a cosmonaut who was quarantined
The cosmonaut brought back an organism
That can project itself without leaving its host
Walter says the formula shows that they have become one
I shot the cosmonaut in the head before he hurt a girl (young girl)
And some suited man says the cosmonaut woke up
And we looked up in the sky and I heard a weird noise
2.07: OF HUMAN ACTION – The Fringemunks
Parody of “(If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To” by Weezer
Music Composed by Rivers Cuomo and Butch Walker
All Parody Lyrics, Instruments, Production & Vocals by David Wu
POV: Tyler Carson a.k.a. Tyler 03
Police chased us throughout the borough known as Queens
I was with two used car salesmen: Tom Dobbins and Pat Hickey
They stepped outside the car
And the cops told them to get down on their knees
The lady cop asked me if I’m OK, and I nodded
They thought I was a hostage because I am just a kid
Tom told the cops, “You have no idea what you’re dealing with.”
I mind-controlled the black cop to his death
A hundred feet, he fell
I made the lady cop shoot the other cops and then herself
And I’d say, “Girl, I can make you kill
If I want you to (I want you to)
I want you to (I want you to)
I’ll make you shoot (make you shoot)
‘Cause I’m controlling your mind.”
Tom, Patrick and I walked into a convenience store
I made Patrick demand all the money from the drawer
I made a customer pour coffee on his face
And run through a glass door
The clerk pulled out a gun and ordered Tom and Pat to leave
I made him put the gun down, then I made him grab a key
I made him stick it in the wall socket
So he was killed by electricity
I phoned my dad and begged him to listen to Tom and Pat’s demands
I made Tom and Pat ask for two million dollars for the ransom
I’d say, “Tom, I’ll make you chop your fingers
If I want you to (I want you to)
I want you to (I want you to)
I’ll make you bleed (make you bleed)”
And I made him saw some fingers off indeed
Ooohwoah! I laughed when I saw the tactical team
Wearing soundproof headsets (soundproof headsets)
With white noise, I bet (white noise, I bet)
They did not know yet (did not know yet)
That I control people’s minds
I made Pat crash, then I grabbed the cash
In an alley, Peter fell into my mind-control trap
I made Peter use a gun to pistol-whip a policeman
Then I made him drive me to my long lost mom in Maryland
Where I said, “Mom, I’ve got 2 million dollars
Let us run away (let’s run away)
To Costa Rica (Costa Rica)”
But I got mad (I got mad)
When my mom’s husband walked in the room
Ooohwhoa! Then I made Peter point a gun
At my mom’s husband head
I made him shoot Broyles instead
And I made Peter drive me away
But I lost control, and Peter drove into a pole
OW!
2.08: AUGUST – The Fringemunks
Parody of “Beauty School Dropout” by Frankie Avalon & “Under the Bridge” by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Music Composed by Jim Jacobs, Warren Casey, Anthony Kiedis, John Frusciante, Flea and Chad Smith
All Parody Lyrics, Instruments, Production & Vocals by David Wu
POV: August
Your story’s sad to tell
Your childhood turned to hell
Your parents were killed in the ’89 Bay earthquake
You’re a masters student in Boston now
With less than 3 grand in your bank account
I’m sorry that I had to capture you
Ms. Christine Hollis
You’ll have no vacation in Rome, it’s true
Ms. Christine Hollis
I made you miss your flight to save you
Well at least watch this live news footage
It will help explain my direction
And I’m sorry I have to gag you again
But it’s for your own protection
I couldn’t help it (I couldn’t help it)
I have observed you most of your life
I couldn’t forget it (couldn’t forget it)
Somehow you always crossed my mind
So please trust me now
Stay quiet now
I really gotta fly
Gotta explain this to September, December and July
__________________________________________________
My colleagues ask me ’bout my interference
My colleagues ask me why I saved Christine
Well I think she’s important, but do they believe me?
They forgive me, but my mistake’s on the line
I eat hot chili peppers, catch bullets with bare hands
I have great binoculars, my stun gun is fine
Yes, I’m an Observer, but I’m a bit different
I’ve got no emotions, now that is a lie
And I don’t wanna lose Christine to her natural fate
I’ll save her any way I can, I’ll go all the way
And I don’t wanna lose Christine to her natural fate
I’ll save her any way I can, I’ll go all the way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I meet up with Walter ’cause I know he can help me
He sees beyond limits to solve his problems
I must prove Christine’s special, or the others will kill her
I am prepared for the consequences
And I don’t wanna lose Christine to her natural fate
I’ll save her any way I can, I’ll go all the way
And I don’t wanna lose Christine to her natural fate
I’ll save her any way I can, I’ll go all the way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I’ll tip off the FBI
Yeah, yeah
I need their help
I said yeah, yeah
It’s time…
Outside the Belle Motel
Is where I lost some blood
Outside the Belle Motel
The assassin shot me up
Outside the Belle Motel
I did it all for love
Outside the Belle Motel
I gave my life away
I said yeah, yeah
I know
I said yeah, yeah
I know
I know yeah, yeah
I know
Christine is safe…
2.09: SNAKEHEAD – The Fringemunks
Parody of “Hey Jealousy” by Gin Blossoms
Music Composed by Doug Hopkins
All Parody Lyrics, Instruments, Production & Vocals by David Wu
POV: Walter Bishop
Peter, do you think it’d be alright
If I could just walk out of sight
You know I want some independence
And anyway I’ve got someplace to go
And you know it might not turn out bad
And it makes me kind of mad
That you’re my son, yet you have a leash on me
I just want to be alone
So I will take a walk in Chinatown
Visit the hookworm shops around
You never know, something might be found
To help solve the case
On Ping-On Street
On Ping-On Street
On Ping-On Street
On Ping-On Street
A cargo ship ran aground near here
Chinese corpses littered the shore
Their bodies hosted parasitic worms
That I’ve never seen this large before
So we took the worms back to our lab
One of them bit my forearm skin
It gave me new antibodies and white blood cells
So the worms are a medicine
Then I took a walk in Chinatown
I caught Astrid lurking ’round
Then I spent 15 dollars
For hookworms from Ming Che
On Ping-On Street
On Ping-On Street
On Ping-On Street
On Ping-On Street
Soon after, I was distracted by
Lacquered boxes for crickets
And to show I can take care of myself
I made the call to ditch Astrid
But then I got stuck in Chinatown
I should have written your number down
An old Chinese lady comforted me
And took me back to her place
On Ping-On Street
Peter, you arrived, and then we left
For Ming Che’s herbalist shop
The FBI raided the place, and they shot Ming twice
And the hookworm case was solved
I found out one thing turned out bad
When I saw Astrid at the lab
After I had ditched her back at Chinatown
Two Triad thugs beat her up
Now I’ve been out of St. Claire’s for a year
But I might get lost again, I fear
And so I implanted a tracking device here in my neck
So you can find me
So you can find me
So you can find me
So you can find me
So you can find me
Yes, my son
Here’s the transponder so you can find me
2.10: GREY MATTERS – The Fringemunks
Parody of “Hey, Soul Sister” by Train
Music Composed by Amund Bjorklund, Espend Lind and Pat Monahan
All Parody Lyrics, Instruments, Production & Vocals by David Wu
POV: Olivia Dunham
Hey, Hey, Hey
A chunk of brain
Had made Joseph Slater go insane
Obsessed with some girl in a red dress
But then you removed the chunk
And that freed his mind
Another chunk of brain
Made Deborah Crampton focus on the number 28
But she’s completely normal now
And I know exactly why her scalp has a scar
Hey, Tom Newton
You’re the leader
Looking for the door
Between the alternate universes
Hey, Tom Newton
You’re the head that William Bell warned me about
On the other side
Hey, Hey, Hey
There are three blanks
In the left temporal lobe of Walter’s brain
The third chunk was in Stu Gordon
He’d thought he was Sydney Greenstreet from Casablanca
You kidnapped Walter
Extracted his tracking chip and left it in a restroom sink
But we put all the clues together
And we deduced you were holding Walter
At the former Bishop house on Green Street
Hey, Tom Newton
You tried to flee in a van
But then I shot your friends
And now I’m pointing my gun at you
Hey, Tom Newton
You better not twitch
Or you won’t have a head left to refreeze
Then you gave me a choice
You said that Walter Bishop’s gonna die
From an injected neurotoxin
Of which the only cure is the antidote
I gave you my phone
Ran back to house
Then you told me the correct antidote sequence:
Blue / Yellow / Red
Hey, Tom Newton
I let you go in order to save Walter
And we’ll be needing him before this is over
I have questions…
Like: Who is Dr. Paris?
And: How did you know about Walter’s memories?
Thomas Jerome Newton,
Now you have the information ’bout the door
To the other side
Hey, Hey, Hey
To the other side
Hey, Hey, Hey
To the other side
2.11: JOHARI WINDOW – The Fringemunks
Parody of “Allentown” by Billy Joel
All Parody Lyrics, Instruments, Production & Vocals by David Wu
POV: Peter Bishop
Well we’re going to Edina Town
After three State Troopers were gunned down
And there was no evidence at all
Except for a photo
Of young Teddy Falls
And this Teddy had a disfigured face
Apparently he was running away
We spoke with Agent Frug at the crime scene
The boy was retrieved
By the gunmen, it seems
That’s why we’re going to Edina Town
Then Walter remembered a banjo tune
(Da-da-dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang!)
He’d mixed up Teddy with a character from Deliverance
Aaaaaaah
Aaaaaaah
Aaaaaaah
Oh-oh-oh
Well we’re visiting Edina Town
And we hear the Edina hum
Walter sang “Hard Artichokes Rarely Keep
Norwegian Elephants
Singapore Sleep”
And then Astrid realized what it meant
For the mnemonic device spelled out “HARKNESS”
That’s the Harvard law school library
Where Walter had stored
Project Elephant files
That’s why we’re returning to Edina Town
Where there are deformed people all around
But it’s the hum that makes them look OK
Aaaaaaah
Aaaaaaah
Aaaaaaah
I’m still dazed over the the man that I killed
Though he’s the one that forced our car down that hill
His face seemed normal when we found his death place
But at our lab, we saw his deformed face
Aaaaaaah
Aaaaaaah
Aaaaaaah
Oh-oh-oh
Well we went back to Edina Town
Where Olivia shot the deputy down
And Rose Falls shot Sheriff Velchik as well
Aaaaaaah
Aaaaaaah
Aaaaaaah
Aaaaaaah
Aaaaaaah
Aaaaaaah
Oh-oh-oh
And then Walter convinced Agent Broyles
To not report on Edina Town
2.12: WHAT LIES BELOW – The Fringemunks
Parody of “Is There Something I Should Know?” by Duran Duran
Music Composed by Simon Le Bon, John Taylor, Roger Taylor, Andy Taylor and Nick Rhodes
All Parody Lyrics, Instruments, Production & Vocals by David Wu
POV: Astrid Farnsworth
Walter, tell me now
Walter, tell me now
Walter, tell me now
Walter, tell me now
A man collapsed in a high-rise in Boston
He spewed out blood
And his veins bulged through his skin
The bike courier’s CPR failed to work
Olivia and Peter were questioning witnesses
The courier died in the lobby
Then we found out what this is
It’s a contagious deadly virus
Looking for a host to live in
It’s 75,000 years old
And doesn’t like being contained
Walter, tell me now
Is there something I should know?
You said you can’t let Peter die again
And I’m wondering what you meant
But you say some things are meant to be left alone
We enforced a building quarantine
And you prepared a toxicity screen
To separate the healthy from the infected
Peter wasn’t himself, and he even rigged the test
But soon we realized Peter was infected with the virus
Then you discovered the antidote
With horseradish sulfur to behold
Olivia ran it through the air
And Peter’s life was spared
Walter, tell me now
Is there something I should know?
You said you can’t let Peter die again
And I’m wondering what you meant
But you say some things are meant to be left alone
Walter, tell me now
Is there something I should know?
You said you can’t let Peter die again
And I’m wondering what you meant
Walter, tell me now
Can’t you see why I’m confused?
When you open new doors, you say
That there is a price to pay
Walter, tell me now
Is there something I should know?
You said you can’t let Peter die again
And I’m wondering what you meant
C’mon, c’mon
Walter, tell me now
C’mon, c’mon
Walter, tell me now
C’mon, c’mon
Walter, tell me now
Oh yeah, tell me, Walter

Robert Bischoff! Robert Bischoff!
A wedding in Brookline
Nana saw Alfred Hoffman, then cried,
“It’s him! It’s him!”
And then she died
Nana was a Holocaust survivor
Hoffman used hot candles to activate
The chromium trioxide and hydrogen cyanide blend
All of the Stallers asphyxiated
Hoffman used
The toxin to kill off
Some people with brown eyes
He could program
The toxin to target
Any genetic characteristic
A hot tea cup
It had some fingerprints
With DNA on the skin cells
The telomere
Degradation suggested
Hoffman was over a hundred years old
A model of
The toxin had a seahorse
The signature of the chemist
Das Seepferdchen
The symbol belonged
To Robert Bischoff
Because he was
Because he was
Because he was
Because he was
A very good swimmer
Ten years ago
Peter was not fond of
His father so he sold
Bischoff’s books with hidden notes
To bookseller Edward Markham
Then artist Eric Franko bought them last year
Walter killed Hoffman
With the same toxin
Then Peter returned
Bischoff’s books to Walter
He told Peter, “It’s a pity you never got to know him”
Mrs. Bishop always said
Peter shared his noble brow with…
(There is an old photo
Of Hoffman standing next to…)
Robert Bischoff! Robert Bischoff!
Robert Bischoff! Robert Bischoff!
Robert Bischoff!

POV: Olivia Dunham
Tremors hit Manhattan
Mr. Ted Pratchet
Pole in his shoulder, not fun
4 arms, 4 legs, and what!
Another head on his gut!
We’re in two buildings, not one
And I knew Tom Newton
Had everything to do with this
Jacksonville
1016 miles away, but still
The combo’s 5-20-10
I’m gonna take Cortexiphan
A building with similar mass
To the alterverse will pass
To establish balance
Evacuation’s proposed
Before the building goes
But which it is, no one knows – NO!
The building that will vanish
Will have a glimmer only I can see
Jacksonville
Everything’s in the daycare center still
IV in my left hand
I’m gonna take Cortexiphan
Now I’m lying on a chair (x2)
This drug will make me more aware (x2)
Meet my younger self among the trees (x2)
She tells me: “make them stop it, please” (x2)
Hush little Olive, don’t say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
Nothing can hurt you, that’s no lie
But something weird is happening to your eyes!
I awoke
We flew back to New York
Peter tried to kiss me, but I got scared
Then I saw the glimmering
On the vanishing building
The evacuation went to plan
That’s why I took Cortexiphan
Yeah, hahaha
Boom!
The building vanished – Yeah!
Yo, whoa
I saw Peter glimmering
Cortexiphan
Peter’s from the other side
Cortexiphan
Walter asked me not to tell him
Cortexiphan
Cortexiphan

Music Composed by Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora and Desmond Child

POV: Walter Bishop
Please.
Olivia.
I need to explain.
Back in 1985,
About 25 years ago . . .
I was in the lab, day and night
I was searching for a cure
That would save my son Peter’s life
I just had to try
The alterverse was more advanced by this time
(Yes it was!)
So I built a special window
To peer into the other side (other side)
To see what Walternate tried
My wife, Elizabeth, called
And said, “Come home please”
Peter looked worse
And had been asking for me
He gave me his silver dollar
He said it was for luck
I gave him a hug
Then oh, my Peter died
Oh oh, I stole alter-Peter
I knew one day I’d have to pay for this lie
Oh oh, I stole alter-Peter
I woke Elizabeth one night
I turned on the window
Because I had to show my wife
Her alter-son was alive
I went back to the Harvard lab
(Yes I did!)
I was looking through the window
And saw Walternate’s solution turned blue (turned blue)
He had mixed the cure
But Walternate was distracted
By the strange bald male
By the time he turned back
The result had failed
So I mixed the cure myself
And despite Carla Warren’s objections
I went to Reiden Lake
Then oh, I crossed to the other side
Oh oh, I stole alter-Peter
Nina tried to stop me, but her arm got fried
Oh oh, I stole alter-Peter
I stole alter Peter
On the other side I realized
That the vial holding the cure was destroyed.
I went to my alter-house
And I told alter-Elizabeth
That I had found the cure
And was taking Peter back to the lab.
I promised to return him.
And when I crossed back over with my alter-son
The breach between the two alter-worlds had begun
And oh, we fell through the ice
Oh oh, I stole alter-Peter
The bald guy saved us, and said alter-Peter’s special
Oh oh, I cured alter-Peter
I fully intended to keep him all the while
Oh oh, I stole alter-Peter
You can’t imagine what it’s like to lose a child
Oh oh, I stole alter-Peter
2.16: OLIVIA. IN THE LAB. WITH THE REVOLVER. – The Fringemunks
Parody of “The Sound of Silence” by Simon & Garfunkel
Music Composed by Paul Simon
All Parody Lyrics, Instruments, Production & Vocals by David Wu
POV: Olivia Dunham
Miranda Greene, my daycare friend
With whom I took Cortexiphan
Met with an ailing man in a cafe
“Neil Wilson” was his name, he say
And the sick man, just by placing his hand on hers
Infected her
With rapid-onset cancer
The bowling place, I visited
Sam Weiss held wrench and pipe of lead
He could tell I had trouble sleeping
Due to a secret that I was keeping
At the morgue, Dr. Potash thought
Miranda’s corpse had chemical burns
But then Walter
Said they’re malignant sarcomas
With the black light, we could not miss
A red hand mark on her right wrist
She had been prosecuting INtREPUS
Was that more than just coincidence?
And though Miranda’s diary showed
She met up with “Neil Wilson”
I had a whim
The man had used a fake name
Her card led us to the cafe
Heard what the waiter had to say
He said Miranda met with some sick guy
Who looked like his uncle before he died
As we left, Peter told me:
“Cancer is not contagious”
But then I said:
“It wouldn’t be the strangest thing we’ve seen”
(Strange. Like the rope. At the lab.)
At the lab, Walter told me
‘Bout tantric sex and Chinese Ch’i
Walter said energy exchange made her die
And it delayed the killer’s own demise
The killer visited Lloyd Becker at his place
And they shook hands
(Dagger. On the mantle.)
Infecting Lloyd
With rapid-onset cancer
After we left Becker’s place
Peter saw my anxious face
He said he knew what was bothering me
Said the Jacksonville trip was crazy
He said he doesn’t want to put
Our family unit in jeopardy
I said that I don’t either
Late at night, Sam Weiss, he came
To my place with the Clue game
Said he barely remembers his childhood years
Said he’s older and taller than he appears
Then I remembered the height chart
On the daycare center wall
Had first names and last initials
Of all the kids at my daycare
I arrived at Peter’s place
We reviewed the daycare names
Walter says they’re all susceptible
Their energy is more accessible
Walter said he never kept a list
Of the Cortexi-kids
I had a whim
That Nina Sharp knew something
And so I went to Massive D
Nina claimed she knew nothing
I told her I was suspicious of her
And that I knew the whole story of Peter
And when I said I would tell him
Nina said she knew that I would not
And that I came here
To have her talk me out of it
Returned from Massive Dynamic
Walter scanned the fingerprint
To help reveal the killer’s identity
Not in the database, unfortunately
And the killer paid a visit to Nick Lane’s aunt
What’s up with that?
And then she gave him my name
While I was at my apartment
I realized the first victim
Was a lady named Julie Heath
Was the sister of one James Heath
James had cancer
And while Julie was visiting him
In the hospital . . .
Julie collapsed and died
Turns out James and Julie Heath
Had been Cortexiphan kids like me
And I stepped into my hallway
James Heath was there, but he called himself “Nate”
And then he said Nick Lane had given him my address
James saw my badge
And then I raced inside my unit
And then I tried to close the door
But then I fell down to the floor
And my revolver had fallen too
But then I struck him a lampstand too
I speed-dialed Peter, then I struck James
In the living room. With the candlestick.
And then he started crying
His sad confession had begun
Never wanted to hurt anyone
He had been getting his chemo treatment
When a man had come to see him
The man said scientists had conducted
Experiments on James as a kid
He also said
That James could fight the cancer
His sister sat by his side
She held his hand, he watched her die
Without that man, James would have died
And the victims would all still be alive
And then Peter showed up with the cops
Who took James away
Put him in a drug-induced coma
I went to the Bishop place
I spoke to Walter face-to-face
I told Walter that he may be right
Some truths are better when not brought to light
And that some Pandora’s boxes are
Better left unopened
But Walter said
That he will tell the truth to Peter

POV: Alistair Peck
In the train car, well I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the man who pops out of the blue
The train passengers will temporarily be deceased
I’m gonna be the man who drains their power too
When I walk out, well I know I’m gonna see
I’m gonna see a young teenage panhandler dude
If they catch me, I’ll use my ability
Create a temporal shield around my body too
But I would jump back in time to that train
And I would jump back 10 months more
Just to be the man who jumped back 10 whole months
To get inside your car door
I was working as a prof at MIT
I had embarrassed all my colleagues, I admit
My superiors, they wanted to fire me
But I saved them from the trouble, and I split
I sent Carol a stack of papers to proofread
Some would say that it was all gobbledygook
Carol gave them to an investigation team
Dr. Bishop read my work all the way through
But I would jump back in time to that train
And I would jump back 10 months more
Just to be the man who jumped back 10 whole months
To get inside your car door
I’m Doctor (I’m Doctor)
I’m Doctor (I’m Doctor)
I’m Doctor Da-Doctor Da-Doctor
Da-Doctor Da-Doctor Peck
I’m Doctor (I’m Doctor)
I’m Doctor (I’m Doctor)
I’m Doctor Da-Doctor Da-Doctor
Da-Doctor Da-Doctor Peck
I was working at my lab near MIT
When Dr. Bishop walked inside to talk to me
He said I cannot jump back to the day you died
He thought this would cause permanent casualties
Bishop told me that he stole his alter-son
And he needs a sign that God’s forgiven him
Then I jumped back, and before they could shoot me
I drew a white tulip and sent it on to him
I drew a white tulip and sent it on to him
But I would jump back in time to that train
And I would jump back 10 months more
Just to be the man who jumped back 10 whole months
To get inside your car door
I’m Doctor (I’m Doctor)
I’m Doctor (I’m Doctor)
I’m Doctor Da-Doctor Da-Doctor

2.18: THE MAN FROM THE OTHER SIDE – The Fringemunks
Parody of “Otherside” by Red Hot Chili Peppers
All Parody Lyrics, Instruments, Production & Vocals by David Wu
POV: Peter Bishop
How long, how long Walter lied
‘Cause I’m from the other side
I know he didn’t just open up a hole
He went on through and he stole me from there
Jill and Dave were smoking pot
In an abandoned warehouse lot
Turned out not to be a happy spot
Killed by shapeshifters from the other side
We found a shapeshifter embryo in an unhatched pod
Looked like a gigantic honey walnut prawn
In the lab, we tried to decode a radio signal
That originated from the other side
Originated from the other side
Originated
Originated
How long, how long Walter lied
‘Cause I’m not from this side
I know that’s why my mom committed suicide
The guilt was too much for her to live with
Liv and I flew to NYC
We shared the signal with Brandon at Massive D
He said tomorrow, 3:31 PM, we’d be
In sync with the timeline on the other side
These two men, they met their doom:
Ben McCallister, who ran the Savings Bank, Pinewood
An electrician by the name of David Wu
Killed by the shapeshifters from the other side
Shapeshifters from the other side
Shapeshifters
Shapeshifters
How long, how long Walter lied
‘Cause I’m not from this side
We got the embryo to start talking
He’d have killed Daniel Verona if he didn’t malfunction
The shapeshifters planted the harmonic rods
In the middle was the bridge, where I tried to null the shock
An agent blew up, then I saw a man from the other side
Then a shockwave threw me back, and I closed my eyes
How long, how long Walter lied
‘Cause I’m not from this side, I know
That’s why I survived Newton’s vibrations
And it’s why I can’t remember my childhood
I checked myself out of the hospital
I won’t be at the lab
I won’t answer my phone
I’m gone

Alone in the lab with a water pipe
Listening to vinyl while the smoke fumes rise
Labelled all the jars and containers, I did
High on Afghani Kush and Chronic Supernova hybrid
Brown Betty – it makes me feel so good, yeah (Yeah!)
Brown Betty – just like a hybrid should, yeah (You know it!)

They haven’t found my son
And then in you walked, oh young Ella
You’ll spend the day with me
You complain that I ate all your snacks
But I’ll tell you a story:
__________________________________________________
A detective named Olivia Dunham wanted to retire
‘Cause she could not find a way to mend her broken heart
And then Rachel showed up
Liv thought this was a waste of time
Something made Rachel head over heels
She said Peter Bishop made her head over heels
Peter’s missing and Big Eddie’s looking for him
Liv predicted that eventually Rachel would wish that Peter was dead
A logo was found
In Peter’s abode
__________________________________________________
Lieutenant Broyles was at a piano bar
He was performing a Traffic tune
He helped Dunham flesh out the logo of Massive Dynamic
Nina Sharp said Peter’s up to no good
Rachel was found dead, and her heart was gone
Turns out she was an actress, and her real name was Kelsey
Broyles told Dunham it’s “time to leave things to the big boys”
Before Dunham left the scene, she swiped Kelsey’s datebook
That contained a check from fictional me

Flannel pajamas too? (Flannel pajamas too?)
Who invented rainbows and hugs for me and you?
Dr. Walter Bishop (Dr. Walter Bishop)
Dr. Walter Bishop (Dr. Walter Bishop)
And he also invented singing corpses, chocolate bars
And cuddly teddy bears, too
He said his greatest invention was a heart of glass
It’s a power source for his body
Someone stole it while he was sleeping
He won’t survive long with batteries

Esther Ficklesworth needs this job
She interviewed for this health care job
But then Olivia called
__________________________________________________
Olivia had fired Esther, sent her packing just that morning
Esther was owed six months’ back pay
But now Olivia needs Esther’s help with this mystery
Together, they’ll investigate
But before Olivia hung up, she was clobbered by the Watcher
She asked that bald man, “Who the hell are you?”
Mr. Gemini answered, “I’m the man who
Doesn’t let his feelings get him into trouble”
Oh, he jabbed a Quantum Laser ‘cross her sternum
Then he warned her:
“Don’t stick your heart out where it doesn’t belong”
(Where it doesn’t belong)
But Olivia’s sternum wound started healing very quickly
It was nothing like she’d ever seen before
It was the same device used to take the heart from Kelsey
Brandon said it was patented by the whiz-bang tech company
Massive Dynamic – William Bell is the CEO
No one has seen him in the past few years
__________________________________________________
Nina’s place
Dunham was snooping around
Nina was talking to Bell
Using a window to the other side
Glass heart
Nina says that Peter has it
If they can somehow retrieve it
Then they can get back together
Wa, wa, wa, wa
And then suddenly Olivia was knocked unconscious
She awoke in a boathouse by a lake
Nina ordered Mr. Gemini to seal her in a wooden crate
The crate was thrown in the lake
But before she could drown
Peter rescued her in time
He took her back to his hideout
He made his move on her
He said he was born with the glass heart
He stole it back from Walter
After discovering Walter stole
His ideas from children’s dreams
And replaced them with nightmares
Wah! Wah! Wah! Wah!
__________________________________________________
A bullet-shaped beacon emerged through the wall
The Watchers broke in, and they started a brawl
They stole the glass heart from Peter’s bosom
Liv had to insert batteries in Peter or she’d lose him
Operation – it’s like the board game, in reverse, yeah
Olivia tried it, but her effort seemed to make things worse
As Peter seemed to shut down
Peter woke up
Olivia told him Walter has the glass heart now
They confronted Walter in his lab
Peter said, “There are some things you can’t undo”
That’s my ending, but you said you have a better one, yeah
In your ending, Walter said he’d fix the damage he’d done (Wooo!)
Peter saw that Walter still had goodness in him, yeah, yeah! (Wooo!)
Peter split the glass heart in two, and gave Walter one half
THE END.
Brown Betty – it makes me feel so good
Brown Betty – now THAT’S what Brown can do for you!
I say yeah, yeah, yeah, woooo!
I say yeah, yeah, yeah, woooo!

I was staying at the motel – the Drake’s Bay
I was hiding out in Washington State
At the Hilltop Cafe, Krista waited on me
Said she’d burn for me a mix CD
I slept in the motel lobby till morn
But the front desk dude said she never showed up
I went back to my room and heard the phone ring
But the call contained staticky voices and beeps
I drove away past the cafe Hilltop
It was a crime scene – Krista couldn’t be found
I was grilled by Noyo County Sheriff Ann Mathis
Who took me into custody
We stopped on a bridge by Route 219
They tended to the corpse of Krista Manning
A chunk of her temporal lobe was gone
So I knew Thomas Newton was involved
I spoke to Broyles on the phone
He promised not to tell Walter where I was hiding
I found a room at the Northwest Passage lodge
I received another staticky call
Then Deputy Ferguson couldn’t be found
And in the woods someone fired a dart
We retrieved some data from dead ladies’ brains
I struggled with Craig, then found Ferguson breathing
I went back to my room, put on my headphones
Listening to a Band of Horses song
That was on the CD made by Krista Manning
Then I saw Newton pointing a gun at me
He summoned Mr. Secretary
And in walked my actual father from the alter-universe

POV: Olivia Dunham
Over there
Over there
Yes we are crossing over to there (Hoo!)
I can’t believe what happened yesterday
Peter was hiding in Washington State
He was tracked down by Walternate
Crossed to the alter-universe, they did
So I went to a bar to drink
An Observer left me a drawing
With Peter and weird codes and a machine
Walter said that the drawing reminded him
That an Observer warned that if Peter
Returned to the alter-universe
He would be responsible
For the end of the world
I told Walter we have to get Peter back
Though he went there by his own free will
The machine has a specific and familiar design
That can be traced to William Bell
(Though he didn’t build it)
We took a trip to Massive
Took a trip to Massive
Took a trip to Massive Dynamic
Then Brandon said that people
Who travel back and forth
Become molecularly unstable
And Bell crossed many times
That’s why he won’t return
And then Nina Sharp said to me
That I have the ability
To cross safely to over there
But I cannot do it by myself
Though if I join my energy
With three other Cortexi-friends
We will be able to cross over to there, yeah!
__________________________________________________
Cortexi-friends
Remember James Heath
From a few weeks ago
He caused cancer, and people were dead
But now with the help of Massive Dynamic
He can cure the disease instead
We’ll cross to there with help from my Cortexi-friends
Mmm, we’ll find Bell with help from my Cortexi-friends
Mmm, find Peter with help from my Cortexi-friends
Remember Nick Lane
About one year ago
His experiences gave me bad dreams
But now with the help of Massive Dynamic
He can control all his thoughts, it seems
We’ll cross to there with help from my Cortexi-friends
Mmm, we’ll find Bell with help from my Cortexi-friends
Mmm, find Peter with help from my Cortexi-friends
James was still mad at Walter
For testing on him as a kid
And he coldly told Walter,
“I could kill you where you stand”
Then there’s Sally Clark, she’s pyrokinetic
Like Nancy Lewis and the late Susan Pratt
I don’t quite recall meeting Sally before
But that’s fine, I guess I’ll work with that
We’ll cross to there with help from my Cortexi-friends
Mmm, we’ll find Bell with help from my Cortexi-friends
Mmm, find Peter with help from my Cortexi-friends
James was still mad at Walter
For testing on him as a kid
But the three talked it over
Made them special, perhaps Walter did
We’ll cross to there with help from my Cortexi-friends
Mmm, we’ll find Bell with help from my Cortexi-friends
Yes, we’ll find Peter with help from my Cortexi-friends
We’ll cross to there with help from my Cortexi-friends
With help from my Cortexi-friends
__________________________________________________
I said my goodbyes to Ella and Rachel
Gave Ella a cross that belonged to my late mom
Walter found a place to attempt to cross over
An opera house in Brooklyn
Walter decided to cross over with us
We stood in a circle ’round him
We spread out our arms
And after some time, James collapsed
Zeppelins in the sky above us
Zeppelins in the sky above us
Zeppelins in the sky above us
Ah… Ah…
We realized we had successfully crossed over
James grew tumors and died, and we ducked out of sight
I saw the doubles of Charlie Francis and me
And some agent named Lincoln Lee
We walked through New York and Sally grew tired
We were ambushed at Central Park
Lincoln killed Nick
Then Sally died while burning Lincoln
Zeppelins in the sky above us
Zeppelins in the sky above us
Zeppelins in the sky above us
Ah… Ah…
I found the address of my red-haired double
Saw silhouettes of her and her beau making love
Suddenly, William Bell shows up and tells me
That Walter’s been shot and needs help
Zeppelins in the sky above us
Zeppelins in the sky above us
Zeppelins in the sky above us
Ah… Ah…
Zeppelins in the sky above us
Zeppelins in the sky above us
Zeppelins in the sky above us
Ah… Ah…
Zeppelins in the sky above us
Zeppelins in the sky above us
Zeppelins in the sky above us
Ah… Ah…

Wo!
Hoo!
I woke
up in the
alter-verse
after sleeping
3 days. Reunited
with my actual mom.
My real father had left
me some large blueprints
of a machine for me to figure
out. Flew in a helicopter and saw
the Grand Hotel, but the Long Island
Triangle and Madison Square Garden had
people quarantined in amber, and they were
ruled legally dead. I flew to the copper version
of the Statue of Liberty to visit the Defense Department.
I know I’ve seen the strange, but this is something else. I met
with Mr. Secretary – my real dad. Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
.
My
dad
told me
today, oh
boy, about
the problems
of this alter-verse.
He said that Walter
is to blame, and the
machine can heal both
sides. He asked me to fix
the power source. I met Olivia’s
double, oh boy – couldn’t help but
stare at this red-haired version of her.
She asked if she had something in her
teeth. I said, “No, you remind me of somebody
I know. But your hair is different. Think I like yours
better.” I have a high-tech apartment, oh boy. Olivia’s
doppelganger took me there. I found out more about myself:
seems that my kidnapping was like the Lindbergh Baby. Then she
asked me what Olivia was like. I said, “Nothing like you… at… all…”
.
The
power
source
is symbiotic
with me. Charlie’s
double was knocked
out by Liv. So the machine
was meant to destroy the other
side. Liv said I belong with her, and
then we kissed. We drove to the opera
house. Walter was there with William Bell.
Bell said I’m holding up better than he would
have thought. We dragged a particle accelerator
into the place. Liv and Bell stayed outside to hold off
the authorities. We heard a blast! Liv and Bell came inside.
Bell was killed acting as a doorstop. We crossed back to our side.
We were in the lab today, oh boy. Astrid made me pie, and I talked to
Walter, and though I’m unable to see things from Walter’s point of view,
he did cross over twice to save me, so that’s gotta count for something…

I
left
