Agreed Michaelr - TOO many so called parodies are not worth the hearing , but a GOOD parody is always worthwhile
However thre are SOME people who dont like even the IDEA of a parody ! Pick your audience with care !
I started learning parodies as sooon as I started learning songs ! I
still occasionally do 'The Songs They are a Changing' that I collected in 1965 , not THAT long after 'Times' was let loose on the world .
