Subject: RE: Great Parodies From: GUEST,wanderer Date: 20 Jan 10 - 09:44 AM Some more of Muppett's stuff include, the Yorkshire version of a John Denver classic, Country Road, called Clogged up Road. The Song he put together to encourage his grand daughter to eat her tea, Sit down & eat yer tea, to the tune of sit down next to me by James. Also heard him do Ghost Chickens in the Sky, although not his, he's put his own mark on it. Then of course there's The Rap version (with all the actions)of Ilka Moor bar tat and the Ragga version (with dance) of The Wild Rover. |

Subject: RE: Great Parodies From: Dave Roberts Date: 21 Jan 10 - 07:59 AM wanderer's right about Mr Happy's 'Old MacDonald', as I've mentioned before in other threads. This has reminded me of a parody of 'Ruby, Don't Take You Love To Town' which I wrote a few years ago and can't find a copy of now. All I can recall is the beginning: Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Crewe You've sanded down your face and stuck your hairpiece on with glue, Ruby, are you contemplating travelling to Crewe? And getting pissed on Pernod in the way you always do? Oh Ruby, don't take your love to Crewe... I may take that as the starting point and write it again. Often results in a better song, I find. |
