So. Irene kindly came up with the idea of altering song lyrics to fit Sherlock, so I figured, since the results were so riotous, we should post them here. Please say what song it is you're parodying, as well, because some of us (meaning mostly me) get confused.
Enjoy!

Contribution one by me: A Murder to Solve (based on Somebody to Love by Queen)
Can anybody find me a murder to solve?
Each morning I get up I die a little There's nothing at all here to do Take a look at the paper and cry Oh what you're doing to me I have spent all my years busy solving you But I just can't find a new crime Oh Somebody Somebody Can anybody find me a murder to solve
I am bored Every day of my life I'm bored so I shoot at the wall At the end (of the day) I take home These body parts all on my own I go down on my knees at the microscope Till the tears run down from John's eyes Oh somebody Oh somebody Can anybody find me a murder to solve
Every day, I try and I try and I try But everybody is an idiot They simply just drive me crazy They say I'm surely a cruel psychopath They've got no common sense I've got no evidence to retrieve
(guitar solo)
Oh somebody Oh somebody Anybody find me a murder to solve
I've got no friends I've got no loved ones I've just got my one flat mate I'm okay I'm alright I'm not gonna face a defeat
I've just gotta break out of this lethargy Someday I'll meet Moriarty Oh!
(Find me some murder to solve Find me some murder to solve Find me some murder to solve Find me some murder to solve) Somebody Somebody Somebody Find me Somebody find me a murder to solve Can anybody find me a murder to solve Find me some murder to solve Find me some murder to solve Find me some murder to solve Find me some murder to solve Find me a murder a murder a murder to solve Find me find me find me find me Find me some murder to solve Anybody Anywhere Anybody find me a murder to solve Solve Find me find me find me find me

My second one, which was so much harder to write, even though the inspiration smacked me in the face ("Built in remedy/for boredom and lethargy"). A couple of the lines don't work so well. Killing Fiend (based on Killer Queen by Queen)
He keeps his Westwood and bombing vests In a fancy cabinet Solve all my clues he says Just like a detective would A built-in remedy For boredom and lethargy At at anytime an invitation You can't decline
Consulting criminal Well-versed in etiquette Extraordinarily nice
He's a killing fiend Explosives, kidnapping Sniper's there with a laser beam Guaranteed to blow your mind Anytime
Services at quite a price A criminal mastermind What a guy
To avoid complications He only uses middle men In conversation He'll be someone different Met a man from London Went down to Bristol Pool But then again incidentally If you're taunting-inclined
Uses Botox for poison Because it always works out No one ever looks twice
He's a killing fiend Explosives, kidnapping Sniper's there with a laser beam Guaranteed to blow your mind Anytime
(guitar solo)
Drop of a hat he is willing to Finance your forgery Then momentarily out of boredom Temporarily bored to death He'll absolutely kill your friends, friends He's out to get you
He's a killing fiend Explosives, kidnapping Sniper's there with a laser beam Guaranteed to blow your mind Anytime
Services at quite a price A criminal mastermind What a guy What a guy

Well he just solved the Enigma twice, Dr John and S Hizzle rapping on the same track, this is a Detective Story now, can you handle that? He had a dream last night, he got into a fight, He had Moriarty on the left and Irene Adler on the right, By the time he woke he was rapping... Cos he's a genius turned rapper Straight to the point yeah, Find him in London yeah he's a rap star, (It's a Thug Story now, tell 'em who you are) You don't wanna fight him, he's tall and he's quite thin. What, what? I hate Cluedo yo, What, what? I solve it fast *beep* Made up on the way to college this morning. I was dancing the whole way. Also please don't judge my taste in music; COUNTRY IS MY LYF.
