""can't think of many other witty lyricists off the top of my head though.""

Thanks CS.

I don't write many parodies, being more inclined toward originality, but good parodies are far more plentiful than one might think, which may be because they have few supporters here.

My friend, and musical partner, Clive Lever (Mudatter WildRover) has a particular flair for good parodies.

His take on "Piano Man" has become virtually a Sidmouth Festival Anthem, requested at the Bedford, Swan, and Volunteer, and he has parodied songs by Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen, and Leonard Cohen, with great success.

Songs are songs. If nobody enjoys them, they vanish. If one doesn't like a particular kind, why gripe about others who do?

Just don't listen to them.
