Let's Talk About Zaslav (A Parody of Let's Talk About Me from The Muppets)

Summary:

I noticed David Zaslav, commonly referred as the most hated man in Hollywood, is pretty similar to a certain Muppet villain. So I made a version of Tex Richman's song about Zaslav. Let me know if you wanna sing this version. Enjoy!

Work Text:

I'm David Zaslav, Mr. David Z
People call me Z cause I make zero movies
I turn them all into a bunch of tax write-offs
You all whine while I just laugh and scoff
I’ll screw over anyone just to save cost
Who knows how much art I made lost
No don't release it though I’m sure it'll make zilch
There ain't no profit in releasing any films

He's Dave Zaslav
He gets quick cash
By turning your film into scrap
(It's great to be me)
It’s deleted
You’ll never see it
Movies are a waste of time
Oh, can't you see

Yeah, it's funny in a CEO's world
When I needed cash, I just wrote off Batgirl
A SCOOB prequel and even more too
You wanna buy them, well that sucks for you
And yet I managed to release The Flash
I don't regret much, but I do regret that
If I could start all over, I'd do it all the same
Except I wouldn't release The Flash again

He's Dave Zaslav
He gets quick cash
By turning your film into scrap
(It's great to be me)
It’s deleted
You’ll never see it
Movies are a waste of time
Oh, can't you see
(Oh, it's great to be me)

I recall a heartbreaking story
About my own tenth birthday party
Should've been a glorious day for me
I'd have been happy as can be
But the Tunes were there
To put on a show
They started to dance
They were telling their jokes
I didn't laugh
I didn't know how
Then my friends
They all turned around
And they laughed at me
They laughed at me
I hate you, Looney Tunes

He's Dave Zaslav
He gets quick cash
By turning your film into scrap
It’s deleted
You’ll never see it
Movies are a waste of time
Oh, can't you see
Looney Tunes, it’s time to give up your dream
