Gervase, any chance of that "King Of Rome" (aka "Charlie's Pigeon" where I come from) parody?Thing is, it's possible to do a parody to be malicious, either to offend the songwriters or to piss off someone in your folk club who sings that song. But if it's done in a good spirit and isn't designed to piss ppl off, then fine. The Xmas parodies thread has 2 parodies of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" ("God Rest Ye Unitarians" and "Arrest These Merry Gentlement") which are great.
But as someone further up says, it's a joke and it's only effective if used sparingly. Same applies to all songs actually - familiarity breeds contempt, which is why Dylan songs can be badly received.
Grab.
