Subject: RE: Parody songs: can they insult and hurt?
Yes, John O'Dreams is the song that uses the melody (changed time signature) of the first movement from Tchaikovsky's "Pathetique". and is also Les Barker's "Custard Creams", which is one of my favourite LB songs (OK not a true parody, LF - and the best parodies are those that change the fewest words from the original text!)
