Mousethief: "Why must people denigrate things that others enjoy?"

That wasn't the intention of the original post.

There are many things that I don't get. So far, these parodies are an example of that.

I don't like to miss out on stuff. If there is something worth having I want in on it. In the case of things where I may be missing something crucial I need pointers, hence the enquiry.

Many of the contributors to the thread have done a good job of summing up why parodies work for them. That's a helpful start. I've still yet to see many that seem, to me, to have been a worthwhile investment of the writer's time.

That said,

"This land is my land, It isn't your land,
If you don't get off, I'll blow your head off,
I've got a shotgun and you ain't got one,
This land is private property."

did make me chuckle. I think Woody would have laughed at that.

Thanks for comments so far.
