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?
