Thread Name: Parodies, a clever idea or lazy humour?
Subject: RE: Parodies, a clever idea or lazy humour?
Amongst some pretty serious original songs I have written the odd parody, usually at the request of my singing family who have ideas but can't put words to tunes. Generally they go down well and are not over-sung. The latest is a parody on a wel known Stan Rogers song and is about the ridiculous number of chefs on TV, though I have tried to keep something close to the original word structure. I won't publish any of my work on here as I will probably be upset by the comments I will receive. These songs tend to go down better at sing-arounds and small gatherings than at big events.
