GUEST,Feezite, about the parody you posted on 15 May 10 - 09:09 PM, the one that starts "Boom the cherry bombs explode, Blowing potholes in the road". You say "To the tune of 'Deck the Halls'", but it scans like it was actually to the tune of "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing."

Here's what I remember of "When You're A Red". Hoping there's someone else who can fill in more...

When you're a Red, you're a Red all the way!
From your first Party coup to your last power play!

When you're a Red, you've got agents galore!
You give prizes for peace, while they stir up a war!

You set off a test, and when you're halfway through it,
you point at the West, and say, they drove you to it!
That's how you do it!

When you're a Red, you will sign a peace pact,
that will fool everyone, 'till your troops have attacked!

another ad one... to tune of "On Wisconsin"

Push rice crispies,
push rice crispies,
snap, crackle and pop!
And while you're at it,
Push our corn flakes,
finest of the crop.
Yum yum yum.
Say that each is
Great with peaches,
fresh or from the can.
And while you're pushing,
Don't forget All-Bran.

Does anyone remember this one (sung to the tune of "Bali Hai")? I can only remember the first 8 lines.

Alcatraz is waiting
On that rock in the bay
Once you're there, there's no escaping
You will stay, you will stay.

Alcatraz is calling
Hear it call through the gloom
"You don't need a reservation,
We've got room, we've got room"

I'm trying to find the words to: "I have often walked my Pierre outside..." and ends with "...now he sits upon his own private john that I built for the dog that I love". This was an ode to a poodle owner. Where can I find these?

In the meantime, my own 'tween memory recalls:

"The thing that I bury will have to be
A real Transylvanian monstrosity
The thing for which I crave
Will have two blood-shot eyes staring up from that grave..."

and

"There's no monsters like Pro Monsters
There's no monsters we know..."

Manny Get Your Ghoul and Frank Jacobs made me fall in love with parodies and sending up musical comedies.

I remember that one, except for a few words I've left as blanks:

"I have often walked my Pierre outside,
But I never liked him in the dirty air outside.
Now he sits upon
His own private john,
That I built for the dog that I love.

See the ____________that I made for him!
See the powder blue pajamas I crocheted for him!
And should he feel ill,
Here's the Contac pill
That I'll give to the dog that I love.

But oh! he sometimes annoys me,
When he does, I'm firm as can be,
Although it nearly destroys me
To have to tell him he can't watch his own TV.

If I _____________________
I'll get maids for him.
And if he should lose his hair,
I'll get toupees for him
And when I drop dead
When my will is read
All will go to the dog that I love."

And a bonus to complete your "Pro Monsters"

"These new monsters ain't true monsters
They've got nothing to show.
If you want to make a girl feel petrified,
To make her scream, and her eyes grow wide,
Tell her that next week she'll be the Wolfman's bride,
Why-ho, Monsters, let's go!

Nice trip down Memory Lane --
How I loved the Mad "Comic Opera" and other spoofs back in the 60s!
My mother was a teacher of English Literature then.
Her stock with the students went up 200% one day.
She arrived in class with Mad magazines and read several parodies --
spoofs of Longfellow, Whitman, even Chaucer! --
and proceeded to discuss why they were so funny.
(The assigned homework that night was an original parody.)
I'm still writing parodies, possibly inspired by Mad's examples.
Great fun!

Boy, this thread brings back a lot of memories! Somewhere in one of my closets I have a big box of Mad magazines I haven't looked at in nearly forty years... Those parodies really do stick in your mind! And, as I remember, most of the classic ones were written by the great Frank Jacobs.

Here's one, to the tune of "My Bonny Lies Over the Ocean":

My body has Calamine Lotion
My body's as sore as can be
The flowers I picked for my granny
Turned out to be poison ivy!

Don't touch,

Here's one from way back in the 60's; Sung to The Jets' Song.

When you use Crest
You are fighting decay
From your first baby tooth
To that last gold inlay

When you use Crest
In your home dental plan
All your teeth stay in shape
Cause it's got flurostan

It passed ev'ry test
In Maine and Indiana
It outcleaned the rest
In Georgia and Montana
IT BEAT IPANA!

We all tried Crest
While the others did not
Now we've got 20% less
Tooth decay than they've got

Another from the 60s, from the same set of songs as the Crest song

I ache again
I shake again
My head feels like it's sure to
Break again

Distressed, dismal and dispondant
Am I

No glee again
In me again
My head feels just like World War 3 again

Distressed, dismal and despondent
Am I

Tho my skull's
Fairly oozing
Still this pain
Cannot last;
There's one thing
That I'm using,
And it works FAST, FAST, FAST!

I cheer again
It's clear again
That Anacin saved
My career again

Distressed dismal and dispondent
No more!

The tropical fish song had lyrics something like this, sung to the tune of 'My Favorite Things', but i don't know most of the words. Can anyone help?...

Bright colored (guppies?) and (black shiny mollies?)...
(something something) that swim with a splish,
These are just some of my tropical fish.
Then I bought (mantas?) that sting in the water
Deadly (?) that itch for a slaughter
(?) that bite with a Squish!
Now I have many less tropical fish
If you think that
Fish are peaceful
That's an empty wish.
Just put them together and leave them alone,
and then you will have...
Less fish!

To the song "Georgie Girl"

Hey there, charge account
Going on another shopping spree
Lucky thing for me the store can't see
My bank account's bare
I'm dead broke

Hey there charge account
Buying lots of fancy clothes for free
I've been broke since 63
But what the heck I don't care

But see that salesgirl checking my files
And wrecking my day
She just discovered that I don't pay
She's telling me

Goodbye charge account
Now I have to look like some poor schnook
Taking back the clothes I took
I don't have a thing to wear
I've been stripped bare
Of my charge account

Here's one from East Coast Story:

There are three verses in which three politicians are trying to get sit-in demonstrators to move. I know the last two politicians are Ronald Reagan as then Governor of California and President Nixon.

The tune is "Officer Krupke" and here is the Reagan verse:

Dear kindly Ronald Reagan
Forgive us if we're frank
We saw you on the late show
Like man, you really stank
You lost one for the gipper
You bombed in Brother Rat
Sacra-mento
Now look where you're at'

Dear Governor Reagan
We just gotta say
Perhaps your worst performance
Is your one here today
We'd like to oblige you
But one thing is clear
You've laid an egg
So we'll stay here

We'll stay here
We'll stay here
We'll stay here, here, here
We're sincere
When we say we'll stay here!!

I just remembered the third "politican" - it was J. Edgar Hoover
and remember the second part of the verse:

Dear J. Edgar Hoover
We won't go to jail
We've got a real smart lawyer who will free us on bail
Before we're convicted
And tossed in a cell
We'll heist a plane
And join Fidel!

Join Fidel, join Fidel, we will join Fidel
What the hell
We'll split and join Fidel!!

2 that I recall

To the tune of "Halls of Montezuma" (The U.S. Marine Corps Hymn)

It was a series of parody songs about that year's Presidential Race

From the vaults of Chase Manhattan Bank
To his zillion shares of stocks
we will vote for Rockefeller Boys
'Cause he's richer than Fort Knox
True he'll make a lousy candidate
But we never can forget
He's the only one that's got the bucks   (or was it cash)
To pay off the U.S, Debt


To the tune of "Anchors Aweigh" - parody songs about games and sports

Bishops away my lads, Bishops away
Move up your Knights and Pawns and
Keep your Queen in play-ay-ay-ay
Caslte your King my lad
Don't hesitate

The "My Fair Ad-Man" spoof had a version of "With a Little Bit o' Luck":

You've never had a clean shave or a haircut
A bigger bum I hope I never see
Your taste is sad in choosing what you wear, but
With a little bit of soap,
With a little bit of soap,
You'll be looking just like him and me.
(CHORUS)
With a little bit, with a little bit,
With a little bit of soap you’ll look like we.

You've got real charcoal staining your grey flannel
I thought those shoes were for a tennis game
If you were on TV, I'd change the channel, but
With a little bit of soap,
With a little bit of soap,
You and Cary Grant will look the same.
(CHORUS)
With a little bit, with a little bit,
With a little bit of soap you'll look the same
With a little bit, with a little bit,
With a little bit of Lifebuoy soap!

A piece on "Up-to-Date Service Songs" had this take on "Anchors Aweigh":

Our taste's absurd, my boys
Our taste's absurd
With girls, our eyesight's blurred
We date pigs by the herd-herd-herd-herd
When on that briny deep
From June 'til May
Practic'ly any creep
Looks like the girl who married JFK!

The entire "Chinese Restaurant Song" went thus:

There's a bright golden glaze on the eggroll
There's a bright golden glaze on the eggroll
The hot egg foo yung really tickles the tongue
The tea's in the pot and the waiter's named Chung

Oh, what a glorious dinner
Oh, what great Moo Goo Gai Pan
We're having twenty-eight courses
Thanks to the family plan.

All the noodles are covered with soy sauce,
All the noodles are covered with soy sauce.
We're feeling no pain
'Cause our plates all contain
A big heaping portion of Sub Gum Chow Mein.

Oh, what a glorious dinner
We'll fill our bellies and then
One hour after we've eaten
We'll all be hungry again,
We'll all be hungry again.

A MAD parody I memorised (50 yrs back):

I remember, I remember
The house where I was born,
The little bathroom down the passage
Where 19 fought each dawn;
My 13 brother hated me
My sisters thought the same
Ma never called me in to eat -
She didn't know my name.

I remember, I remember
The joys my schooling gave;
How I was late for infant class
Because I had to shave.
I think that I shall ne'er forget
A little girl named Sue;
I carried home her books from school:
Her boyfriend told me to.

Someone quoted part of "I wandered lonely as a clod" further up. Here's the whole of it - I think.

I Wandered Lonely as a Clod

I wandered lonely as a clod,
Just picking up old rags and bottles,
When onward on my way I plod,
I saw a host of axolotls;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
A sight to make a man's blood freeze.

Some had handles, some were plain;
They came in blue, red, pink, and green.
A few were orange in the main;
The damndest sight I've ever seen.
The females gave a sprightly glance;
The male ones all wore knee-length pants.

Now oft, when on the couch I lie,
The doctor asks me what I see.
They flash upon my inward eye
And make me laugh in fiendish glee.
I find my solace then in bottles,
And I forget them axolotls.

"Onward Pivnick"

One of my favorites (from memory, some 50 years later; correctons welcome). This gentle fight song captures the essence of football and the heart's desire of every true fan.

To the tune of "On Wisconsin!"

Onward Pivnick, onward Pivnick,
Forward to the fray!
Suffocate them, decimate them,
Grind them into clay!(Rah, rah, rah!)

Okay, this is bizarre. Bob and I were just re-reading a Mad mag this morning on his favorite Star Wars topic, and now I see this thread. No song parodies in that issue, but several of the parodies already mentioned in this thread came from a single issue that had songs about food: Ground Round (Downtown), the Chinese Restaurant Song (Oh, What a Beautiful Morning), Chopped Liver (Moon River), and Hello, Wine Lovers (Hello, Young Lovers), the last of which I didn't memorize because I was fuzzy on the tune. It also had The Sundae With the Nuts on the Top (The Surry etc.) and probably a couple of others.

Ev'ry day is really a fun day
When I eat a big, gooey sundae
When I eat a big, gooey sundae
With the nuts on top

(2nd verse, I forgot)

(bridge, I can only remember the last line:)
Which may be why I'm feeling icky

Tho' my figure's taking a beating
From this glob of glue that I'm eating
When I'm through, you'll find me repeating
'Cause I just can't stop
Eating all those gooey sundaes
With the nuts on the top

There are a few cover scans at MADCOVERSITE.COM.

When we finally dig out our storage shed, I'll probably scan the covers of the ones we have, ranging from the 60s through the 80s. May find some parodies, too.

Don't touch,
Don't touch,
You'll get a rash from ivy, ivy!

It will
Itch bad
And it will look worse than acne!
