the hardest songs to sing are the ones with no 'story' and double verses...almost any two lines can be interchanged at the beginning of a verse...."Stern Old Batchelor" comes to mind...or..."Give Me the Roses While I Live"...4 verses, and they all say the same thing! You can't 'hook' your memory to anything......

and yes, when you know too many parodies, life does get interesting as you try to do the original straight..We have a woman in FSGW who knows "Pleasant and Delightful" and does NOT do parodies of it...we DO depend on her..*smile*
