Ryan Hopak and the Happy Chinchillas featuring Timothy Mank
"Tribal Council"

Parody of "Smooth" by Santana featuring Rob Thomas
New lyrics by Ryan Hopak


I'm a contestant
I'm on Survivor and I want to win
Out in the middle of nowhere
Hot humid air
It feels like a drought

I'm with some strangers
We're out here facing all the dangers
But if I'm the complainer
I'll get voted out

Like if I said, "This rice ain't cooked enough,
I'm hot, I want to see my mom"
Then I'm toast
My tribe would get in a bad mood
And then I'm screwed

Cause they'd form an alliance to get rid of me
And I'd miss out on a million bucks in prize money
I only signed up for this to get on TV (better)
Clean up my act, make some friends
Or face the tribal council

I'll tell you one thing
This castaway stuff is annoying me
I use a stick to brush my teeth
Wipe with a leaf
It smells like a zoo

People up to no good
This cranky old guy makes us gather wood
This other dumb guy eating bugs
Keeps mumbling, "What would Gilligan do?"

I really hate this chick who talks a lot
She's stuck up, and she will not do squat
But I'll keep her 'round for one more week or two
Cause she's so cute

And I just saw a fat guy walk around nude
And now he's squatting by the ocean while he looks for food
He's showing off his blubber--hey, man, that's just rude (now)
Put on some pants, make it quick
Or face the tribal council

"Welcome to tribal council everyone. Tim, so far
you've been accused of stealing food, instigating
arguments and telling lies about other people. And
that was just on the plane ride over. The tribe has
spoken, and the first person voted out of Survivor
is... Big shock. Tim."

Now the whole country watched me lose on the show
And now I am not a millionaire, I'm just a joe
I guess I'll go back to my job at Home Depot (and)
Pose naked for magazines
Or you'll forget about me
