Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Oh no not the field of Athenry
I've always thought that a good song can take it,and parody doesn't hurt it permanantly. Parodies wear out quickly while good songs don't generally. A friend of mine often inserts nonsence lines here and there into oft requested songs AND nobody has ever noticed. Not for an audience of singers though. For years he sang "Starry, starry night, tigers sing and monkeys bite."
