Subject: Suggestion for Chuck for AmiRight - Song Parodies

Written By: Peregrin on 09/23/03 at 06:40 p.m.

Hi Chuck and everyone else

I suspect like a lot of AmiRight parody readers, I get bored by those who insist on making comments regarding who was the 'original' performer of a song.  It is somewhat inane for two reasons :

Even for someone as pedantic as myself, this seems like nitpicking of the highest order, and frankly, does it really matter?Merry & Pippin did 2 separate parodies based on the same song "Pinball Wizard", one by The Who and the other by Elton John.  Both songs have different lyrics.  In such cases it is necessary to be particular to which version you have parodied, lest someone think of another version and the pacing is stuffed, verses missing etc etc blah blah.....

Can I suggest that at the top of the page where the parody appears, the words "Originally by" by replaced with "Performed by"?

I think it may help to alleviate these constant contributions like "It wasn't Telly Savalas, it was Minnie Riperton"  ::)

Thanks

PT  :)
