GUEST,DTM Parodies, a clever idea or lazy humour? (36) RE: Parodies, a clever idea or lazy humour? 19 Aug 14


Agree with most of the above points
1) a true parody should match the rhymes in the original song
2) it DOES 'cheapen' the original to a certain degree
3) parodising has spoiled one or two of my favourite songs
3) parodies are not lazy writing, It's more like taking a cheap shot
4) I'm a 'parodist' myself so I'm guilty of all associated crimes, m'lud
5) you must admit that some parodies out there ar REALLY funny
6) IMO, bottom line: all's fair in love and war - and parody writing


"Li'l old rhyme thinker me" ;-)
