Thread Name: The role of parodies in folk
Subject: RE: The role of parodies in folk
ToneDeaf Leopard... {the name is itself a parody}, write a lot of parodies. Mostly of non-traditional songs. We have, however, turned The Wild Rover into The Wild Rabbit. We have found on the whole, that the audience recognises the song because we leave ina few original phrases. E.G. "And it's no hay never
               No hay never no more
               Will I munch the wild clover
               No never, no more"
