Thread Name: Mad Magazine parodies
Subject: RE: Mad Magazine parodies
Glad to see I'm not the only retro-minded Mad Mag lover... I crack up on the days that I wake up with one of the old 70s or 80s parodies in my head.
The "Oh Susanna" parody that I mostly remember went something like this;
Well, I come from California
with a bandaid on my knee
Cause I rumbled with Hell's Angels
and they nearly crippled me
Well I tried to meet the leader's chick
he didn't take it kind
The acid bath he gave me
man, it left me nearly blind
Holy Hannah! He pushed me 'neath a train
Now my skull is in some canyon
And they're mailing me my brain!
There are so many to remember. Has the magazine ever put out a book of their old parodies?
