Ther are TOO many BAD parodies around = there are TOO many BAD singer songer writers around. This is not a coincidence, it's not rocket science either. I would not lose a single tear if I never heard a parody again. Several singer songwriters too if it comes to that.
I'm also with the "DO NOT SING the PARODY AFTER THE ORIGINAL" crowd.
Someone did it to me once and recieved not one clap of applause from a room of about 40 people.
