Hello, Lighter. Thank you too for responding to my post. I used Mudcat's search engine to find this thread, and I did see a several others but I don't recall any of those threads having any parodies posted to them. This thread seemed to be the most likely one for such postings. It may be that I didn't locate all of those threads you mentioned since Mudcat's internal search engine stops after 2005 or so because of that crash that happened around that time... If there are other Mudcat threads that you can point me {and others} to after that year, it would be appreciated.
Also, I'm wondering when you wrote that "There's no doubt that the "hinky dinky parlez-vous" refrain belonged originally to that song during World War I." did you mean that song Skiboo? What do you make of this comment that I found on http://www.odps.org/glossword/index.php?a=term&d=3&t=383 that "Inky Pinky Parlez vous and another song called "Fart-Man" found here are "variations of the much older armed forces/rugby song 'Three German Officers' - versions of which date back to at least 1914)"? Are you or anyone else on Mudcat familiar with the song "Three German Officers?"
Here's the version of "Inky Pinky Parlez Vous" from that Seedy Songs and Rotten Rhymes - the poetry of the playground website:
"inky pinky parlez vous (ed: whilst superficially similiar to "Fart-Man" (also listed here), both are obvious variations of the much older armed forces/rugby song 'Three German Officers' - versions of which date back to at least 1914)
