There's a Jim Carroll Band parody in here somewhere, folks!  Probably only have to figure out how to get the ages to rhyme with the names -- the methods by which the celebs of any given year come to their demise are pretty much what was in the song!

Mr. Whipple squeezed the Charmin, 91 years old,
Knievel jumped the canyon at sixty-nine,
Anna's 39 when she pulled the plug,
On 26 reds and a bottle of wine,
Tammy got the colon rot, eleven-year fight,
She was just 65 when she died,
She looked like 99!

Those are people who died, died!
Those are people who died, died!
Those are people who died, died!
Those are people who died, died!
They were someone's friends, and they died...

Okay, here's one in my home turf...

Rev. Alpha Rex Humbard. He founded the Cathedral of Tomorrow which is now home of the Ernest Angely Ministry (As well as Cleveland's CW) and he basically paved-way (Humbard) to the other Mega-Churches today. He died the same week as Marcel Marceau and Bret Somers.

... He died the same week as Marcel Marceau ...


Do I go for the high road with "A mime is a terrible thing to waste", or dig myself in deeper with "And nobody got to see his final performance: Man Trying To Claw His Way Out Of A Casket"?

Ditto what Davester said! First thing I thought of too. But I didn't have the parody, so you get Karma +1!
