Hmm.. a bit limited for choice in the Es- I'm going for:
Element the Eighth to "Henry the Eighth" by Herman's Hermits

My choice for 'e' is Enos/Anus to Venus by Shocking Blue

The midi is http://rock.mididb.com/20030518/Shocking_Blue/?Title=Shocking%20Blue

I've already seen such excellent entries, I'm wondering 'why bother?'    :D (guess I like just being in the action)

Going with End of the Innocence (Shawshank) which is more on the serious side... but still one I'm proud sits in our library.

Question time...does the object modifier "The" make song titles count as "T", or is the subject of the titles the identifying letter?

Eyeball and edify the ensuing entertainment as an example, then explicate your edict on the entry, eh...Ethan?
http://www.amiright.com/parody/70s/pinkfloyd99.shtml "(The Expulsion Hearing")

I eagerly will extricate that with another exercise in enigmatic elucidation, elsewise.

(the real lyrics here: http://www.lyricsdomain.com/16/pink_floyd/the_trial.html)

EDIT: There is one additional line in the original lyrics that was never used in the original song--"No Judge, the Jury!"--which is NOT in my parody either.

I need the answer to that as well... but assuming the latter,
http://www.amiright.com/parody/2000s/nodoubt15.shtml - "The Evil Chem Test Song" (no relation in title to the actual title of the song, "In My Head")

Forgot to elaboate .. the parody is

Existential angst  .....It as a narrative about the ghastliness of ID theft.. not specially funny  just a bit of social commentary on a contemporary subject...

Ethan,  I missed the vote deadline in the "C" round.  As I understand your amended rules now I need to sit out "D" (which I have) but can submit an entry for this "E" round.  Actually, I guess I'll just go ahead an post my "E" entry now.

"Every Day (I'm A Gettin' Older)", parody of "Every Day"  by Buddy Holly & The Crickets.

I just saw your note about it being okay to change entries. I'm a stubborn cusss and I don't usually change my mind, but I'm getting bad reviews for my first choice. "E" is not my strongest letter, but I'm listening to opinions I respect and I'm going to change to my Jerry Lee Lewis parody "Eight Balding Tires" and take the bad taste out of everyone's mouth. I makes me realise that my second 200 parodies are holding up better than the first 200.
