One time I had a song kicking around in my head and didn't really know what the actual lyrics were, so I did an internet search to find out and one of the search results was "Am I Right" where they featured 'misheard lyrics' I really got a kick out of that. One of the associated pages was SONG PARODIES... Eureka !!!
Am I Right turned out to be an online community of like-minded, and might I add talented 'artists' (IMHO) who were submitting song parodies for the members consideration, critique and judgement on three criteria; pacing (matches pace of original song) how funny and overall impression. These people were taskmasters...

I submitted a few parodies under Walt Conner, my internet 'nom de plume' for most things web related, poetry and such. I have provided a self-indulgent link above that opens a new page with my parodies listing on the Am I Right website.
(If you are so inclined to peruse my song characterizations)
Submitting a parody of "Nobody Does It Better" retitled 'Anybody Would Be Better' and during its critique one of the sites regulars challenged me to do a rewrite about the upcoming elections... challenge accepted. It got a great review but touched off a lot of comments back and forth over the pending elections...
"C'est la guerre, ehh Napoleon?"
A more recent parody was Crystal Gayle's "Don't It Turn My Brown Eyes Blue" which became the more politicly charged 'Don't You Turn My Red State Blue'...
a few of the more 'liberal' reviewer's heads exploded !!
"On Matters of Style, Swim With the Current.
On Matters of Principle, Stand Like a Rock"
