When we speak of parody, there is a very long history, and considering our topic for Group Writing for the month of May is all about such foolishness, I knew I could go to only one source:

The Old Master

The man has been doing this for forty-four years.

What is your favorite?

    Years ago my son found this video a while back

    Then I played the real version of MacArthur Park and after hearing those lyrics he asked, “Which one is the parody?”

    Still remember laying in bed as a kid, listening to “My Bologna” and “Another Drives the Bus” on the Dr. Demento Show.

    I’m sure you meant you remember lying in bed… I guess I’m in grammar Nazi mode.

    I think that is where I first heard him, along with the CBS Radio Mystery Theater, related only in their late night audiences.

    Do your part to share a bit of humor, dry or rich, high or low brow. Stop by and sign up for a day in “A Merry Month.”

    Listening to Dr. Demento in my case was mostly done standing around in a friend’s house. Nice to see so many Ricochetti were listening, too.

    I never heard Dr. Demento, but when we lived in Klamath Falls we could sometimes get Wolfman Jack on the skip.

    I was thankful he was on AFRTS.
