Group Writing: The Old Master
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?”
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.

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.
