There's a parody of "I Remember Loving You" called "I Can't Remember You." There's a YouTube video here (click).

I Can't Remember You
Written & edited by stebunn
Based loosely on the song "I Remember Loving You" by Luigi del Puppo, Tino Chumlovich and Utah Phillips.

I don't know your name I can't place the face,
Even with that tattoo on your chin.
You say we were hot but never tied the knot,
'Cause in the 60's all us hippies lived in sin.
I've racked my brain time and again,
You look like no one that I knew.
I remember lots of things,
I'm sorry but I can't remember you.

I found these old photos,
Underneath a box of dog-earred smut.
There I am with a half a gram,
Lookin' groovy with my hair down to my butt.
I'm a little blank from the booze I drank,
And suckin' water bongs 'til I was blue.
Yes I remember all these things,
I'm sorry, but I can't remember you.

No I can't remember you,
No matter what I do.
Used to sniff a little glue,
Now I can't remember you.

The incense smell that I knew so well
And the acid painted cartoons in my brain.
With a can of Bud squatting in the mud,
At Woodstock playing bongos in the rain.
And this dude named Rick got pretty sick,
And topped it off by puking on my shoe.
Yes I remember all these things,
But most of all, I can't remember you.

No I can't remember you,
No matter what I do.
Used to sniff a little glue,
Now I can't remember you.

No I can't remember you,
No matter what I do.
You say that you are who?
No I can't remember you.
