The only one of those that I've heard of is Icky thump and I don't know that one well, but I might give it a shot

I've never done a parody of a song that I hadn't heard of before deciding to attempt the parody, and I'm not planning on changing that now. The rest of you can do what you want, but I'd rather try to make parodies of recognizable (to the general public) tunes.

Well, as a pimp goes, I'm a complete and utter failure :.(
Guess I'll just have to write a "Lay it on the Line" parody myself.

Yeah...it was a neat idea, but I guess all our schedules aren't in accord with this kind of thing. Well, for me, cross country is definitely taking over my life now. I think it would have fared better if launched in February or March.
But even so, I think I'm going to wind up doing Touch of Grey anyway. My idea's too darn good to waste.

Oh.....dear
Well, it was probably a good idea who's time has not yet come. And anyways, I probably don't have time to steward it, so I'll close it down until it seems theres more interest.
Thanks for attempting to support it guys!

I think it was an awesome idea. If I didn't have to work, I could devote my time to the truly important things... <sigh>.
