I'm with you, Dan. I pretty much detest parodies, especially of good songs. I heard this parody of "Only Wanna Be With You" by my beloved Hootie & The Blowfish (who's shirt I'm wearing now)...it made me wanna puke. Now, I have written songs based on another and using the same tune, but I hate parodies that attack the original song. There must be a more constructive way to use creativity...like write your own stuff.
