Subject: Parodies-Non-Intellectual From: gargoyle Date: 06 Oct 98 - 10:36 PM Do you have a parody? Have you "ripped-off" a another's tune? Do you "not-give-damn" if someone else uses it? Then THIS is the thread for you!!!
If you do not desire "residuals" but have created, or have "borrowed" another's creation. Please post it.
The following is graciously contributed by: John (William) (Bill) (Doc) Watson, (of Southern California) who was bored to tears while substituting in a high school language arts class, and decided to try the student's assignment. |

Subject: RE: Parodies-Non-Intellectual From: The Shambles Date: 07 Oct 98 - 02:27 AM Don't know if this is the right place for this but I was reading a thead in the N/Gs about joke song titles and it started me off thinking of some. Then The 'old brain' clicked in and what started as a joke song title finished off being a new song. I thought it might work for someone else so I have started a new one for you to finish, add a verse, or whatever.

Subject: Lyr Add: PADDY LAY BACK (parody - Bob Clayton) From: GUEST,Songbob Date: 14 Dec 09 - 03:12 PM Are you looking for things like this? Paddy Lay Back (Today's Version) [Tune: "Paddy Lay Back"] It was on a dreary morning in December That first I saw your ugly kisser here. Why you were ever hired I don't remember, You're nothing but a bloody pain in the rear! Chorus: Paddy, lay back, cut me some slack; Take a turn away from sorrow, grief and woe. About this place make yourself handy, Or we're bound to have a reprisal in the morn. You nearly drive me crazy with your questions, Asking all the day, who, what and which? Just get to your work is my suggestion; I'm tired of doing it all, you son-of-a-bitch! Chorus Every morning you come in a little later, And every night you leave a little soon. You'll soon be such a great procrastinator That you'll meet yourself in the door at half-past noon. Chorus Why they keep you on to me's a mystery; Why don't you just get fired and told to go? Is it something in your personal history, Or is the boss your dad and I don't know? Chorus Copyright © 1991, Bob Clayton, Silver Spring, MD |

Subject: Lyr Add: A SONG FOR FOLK LEGACY (Bob Clayton) From: GUEST,Songbob Date: 14 Dec 09 - 03:19 PM Well, the thread is old, but I'm still young. Or at least the songs were written when I was young. Like this one: A SONG FOR FOLK LEGACY (The Record Edged in Black) I was standing by my window one fine morning, Without a thought of worry or of care, When I saw the postman coming up the pathway With such a jolly face and jaunty air. He rang the bell and whistled while he waited, And then he said, "Good morning to you, Jack!" But he little knew the happiness he brought me When he handed me that record edged in black. With anxious hands I took the record from him; I opened it and put it on to play. When I heard that old time singer with his banjo, It changed my very life right from that day. I didn't know a thing about the singer. As I read the liner notes from front to back, And the only song I recognized, "Tom Dooley," On that wonderful first record edged in black. Now, since that time, I've heard a lot of music, And I learned to sing and play a bit, myself, From those wonderful singers and musicians In that stack of black bound records on the shelf. But harder times have hit the record business; It's tough to make a go, I've heard it said. And folky little companies like this one Do most of their accounts in ink of red. You've got to get the customer's attention As he browses through the old folk-record rack. So it's been a donkey's years, or even longer, Since I've seen a brand new record edged in black. I know you can't return to days back yonder. The world turns toward the morning, so they say. But I, for one, would not be too unhappy If some things never changed from day to day. I'd like to see the postman one fine morning, Coming up the pathway with his pack, He'd never know the happiness he'd bring me If he handed me a record edged in black. © 1986 Bob Clayton |
Subject: RE: Parodies-Non-Intellectual From: SINSULL Date: 14 Dec 09 - 03:36 PM I have that CD. Although I have to admit I recognized quite a few of those songs besides Tom Dooley/Doola - a misspent youth. |
