On January 20, 2013, a user known as Nate_Z posted a message to the PointBuzz discussion group complaining about maintenance issues at Cedar Point. He titled his message, Cedar Point BrokenDown Why?. That brought to mind a Looney old Tune and an over-the-top retelling of a bad day at the park. I'm guessing you have heard the song before, but did you know it had lyrics and a verse? Anyway, I posted my lyric to the thread a few days later.
Cedar Point Park Broke Down
(to the tune of Merry Go Round Broke Down by Cliff Friend and Dave Franklin. Apologies to my friends at Cedar Point!)
Oh, Cedar Point Park broke down
As we rode 'round and 'round
Each ride we'd miss
We'd moan and p*ss
As the midway band played
"Um-pah-pah um-pah-pah!
Um-pah! Um-pah! Um-pah-pah!"
Oh, the Cedar Point Park broke down
To a halt, the coaster ground
The lights went low, we both cried, "Whoa!"
As the midway band played
"Um-pah-pah um-pah-pah!
Um-pah! Um-pah! Um-pah-pah!"
What a waste, a horrible time
Broken rides for fifty-four ninety-nine!
Oh, the Cedar Point Park broke down
That's why you see me frown
I did my time, I stood in line
While the midway band played
"Um-pah-pah um-pah-pah!
Um-pah! Um-pah! Um-pah-pah!"
Oh, the Cedar Point Park broke down!
