Sling And Thong

about

You could probably call this one "Sexually Street". It was an improv, if I recall correctly, and I think an excellent example of something I did not always do at the outset of my career: Deliver The Joke And Move On.

I did several parodies -- a few on this album -- that followed the original songs' structure very well, but weren't necessarily funny all the way through, or maybe ran out of real jokes about two verses in and then I'd committed myself to the whole song and it all ends in tears.

I have finally learned, mostly, that the entire idea of a pun-based parody -- of, indeed, all comedy -- is to Deliver The Joke And Move On. If the song doesn't do that, MAKE it do it. This is why I resist requests to expand "The Cthulhu Colada Song": It delivers the joke with its one and only verse, and anything else would be strained at best or unfunny at worst.
