Subject: RE: Mad Magazine parodies
Did a Google search for Mad song parodies, as I grew up reading the book collections (such as "Sing Along With Mad" and "Mad About Verse." I remember one of the military anthems in full:
(Marine Corps Hymn) From the neck-high mud of fo-ox holes To malaria-filled bogs We will march for ninety miles a day And drop out and die like dogs
We will land on mine-strewn beaches And we'll live with snakes and fleas Then we'll all leave Parris Island for Restful combat overseas!
and part of the Air Force hymn... Off we go, into the barracks yonder, Pulling an inspection again... Roar right in, just like a clap of thunder Scare the hell out of the men!
To the tune of "Aquarius" (from the musical "Hair") When the sun is blotted out of sight And both your eyes begin to burn And you can't see the freeway To make That left hand turn You know you're driving in the Smog of Los Angeles! Smog of Los Angeles! Los Angeleeeees!
