Subject: RE: Parodies, a clever idea or lazy humour?
I write. I've been making up parodies as a sort of five finger exercise since I was a teenager. It's a way of keeping my verbal skills in shape when I'm not turning out my forgettable prose.

Here's one to Get Along Home Cindy Cindy

       The S.U.V (Pronounced Suvey)


My neighbor bought a Suvey. It gave me quite a shock.
Cause when he tried to park the thing, it took up half the block.

chorus: Gas it up Suvey suvey
       Gas it up Suvey suvey
       Gas it up suvey suvey
       And then you have to pay.

And if you see that suvey, you'd best leave it alone.
He passes on the right hand side, while talking on the phone

         Gas it up etc.

The Suvey hit a Cooper. It did it once before.
The Suvey has a tiny scratch. The Cooper is no more.

          Gas it up etc.

The Suvey hit ah hairpin curve, rolled on it's back and died.
The inusrance wouldn't pay up, "cause they called it...suveycide.

    I'd suggest fleeing for your life rather than singing the chorus again.
