I'm watching it at school with the sound off, BUT I can hear the music in the head. Terrific work, probably my favorite of all the videos I've seen. That is very very funny.

I mean, the song already had a video and didn't need one from me. Thank you all for the kind words. I honestly didn’t expect people to like it that much.

Like going back to your childhood home and finding it's now made entirely out of fiberglass and orc parts. For some reason it was the Warren Beatty bit that got me to laugh out loud. -Cecil That was just beautiful.

Parody/homages are so much better when someone actually takes their time to get the details as close to the original as they possibly can. Oh, and good job with that so far JoAnn, particularly something come up with on the fly. There are a couple meter discrepancies here and there (e.g. too many syllables in the first half of the first line). You could use "Somewhere in the Midwest" or "Up in Minnesota" to cut it down to the necessary six syllables. See, now THIS is something I can get behind.

Someone like Jonathan maybe? lol I know! He could write one called "Green" and use nothing but references to his other songs in it ( recycling dontchaknow). Let's see, how would it go...

The futures coming soon they say,
Your brains are on my plate today
Someone is crazy here, or else they’re mad…
Mr. Johnson dances all around
Take care of me or else I’m gonna frown

Maybe I should send this over to forums. :o)
