Doesn't. Parodies don't tend to work for me either.. Not sure why as I do like funny songs, be they daft, witty, dumb etc: Pretty much anything by song-writers like Morrisey, Momus (The Homosexual), Hoagy (Huggin' and a Chalkin') and Jake Thakray I can find funny - can't think of many other witty lyricists off the top of my head though.
