Thread Name: Great Parodies
Subject: RE: Great Parodies
"...there are a lot of really crap parodies around...."
The only one I ever wrote falls into that category for sure. Still, the people I performed it for seemed to enjoy it.
That was a long time ago, and I only remember parts - I never even wrote it down.
My source was Eddie Dean's "(I Dreamed of a) Hillbilly Heaven"
(sung) I dreamed I was thar, in Hayshaker Hades,
Oh, what a hell of a night!
(spoken) Last night I dreamed I croaked and went to Hayshaker Hades, and who was thar to meet me at the gate but the old Oklahoma cowboy/philosopher Pretty Boy Floyd...He introduced me to Wile E. Coyote...
[It eventually concludes with a list of the names in the great book of infamy]...Richard Nixon, Spiro Agnew, Roy Cohn, Bob ________ (myself)...
Bob _________?? Well, that's when I woke up, and you know, I'm damn glad I did, because,(sung)I dreamed I was thar...etc.
Pretty bad, eh?
