Speaking of liking the original as well as the parody, are there many examples of songwriters doing a parody of their own song? Curly Fletcher was alleged (by Glenn Ohrlin, I believe, who would probably know) to have written "The Castration of the Strawberry Roan," as well as the original "The Strawberry Roan" (both great songs, both in DT, with author of "Castration" unclear). And did JJ Walker do a parody of Mr. Bojangles?
