Thread Name: The role of parodies in folk
Subject: RE: The role of parodies in folk
I couldn't disagree less. I find Sid Kipper very funny, but a folk newcomer would find him entertaining but not able to understand why those who have been around the genre a while find him hilarious. Parodies are great, but to be good they should be recognisably relevant to the original subject and strictly rationed. An original funny song is a different animal.
