ah, that reminds me that I once did a parody to Purple People-Eater about a perfect kick in Australian Rules Football

called "It Was A Centimetre-Perfect Torpedo Off The Non-Preferred" - a torpedo being a type of kick, where the ball rotates laterally, centimetre-perfect being an Aussie Rules expression meaning "precisely hitting its target" and the non-preferred referring to the foot (eg. left c/f right) you'd prefer not to kick with 


my point being that I reckon anything that has the same rhythm as the first line in PPE would work, as it's such a distinctive and lengthy line

in fact I might post my parody anyway, even though nobody will understand it except Aussies

John Valby is your friend.  He's got (at least) two versions of the song parodied, one on "Live from Jackinsack, New Jersey", and one on "Butts Up Doc!"

If you can't figure out from the titles of those two albums, the lyrics are pretty much unprintable on a family forum such as this.

She said "Jersey'd like to welcome you!
I'll do anything you want, but it's gonna cost you."
I gave her a dollar.  She looked at me strange.
She *blankity-blank*, and then she gave me my change!

...and that's one of the more tame verses.

By Dobbs, Valby is a brilliant parodist.  The guy not only manages to match the original rhyme scheme, he manages to dredge enough words from the bottom of the anglo-saxon barrel to get the accent on the right syllable with every word, while still managing to link "parking meter" with an anatomical function.  "She's the girl for me."

* checks back-catalogue - finds old P.P.Eater parody - reads it with intention of submitting it - limewires for Sheb Wooley's OS - compares parody to OS - detects HUGE pacing issues, starting with the title line - shelves whole idea *
