To: a fool in paradise

Yeah, having a melody that everyone knows right away from hearing it a million times but having mocking clever lyrics and wacky music was a huge in for Al. If you have never been annoyed by the originals in the first place it’s a harder bridge to cross for sure.

Not only that the "melodies" of some songs like the GRAMMY WINNING (it beat out the Beatles' Yesterday for song of the year!) Winchester Cathedral are difficult to make (more) fun of.

Homer and Jethro still gave it a try.

Winchester parody begins at 5:55

Winchester Cathedral...
You're driving me mad...
I don't know who sings it,
but it's mighty sad.

I'll really be glad when
this song disappears.
It's set music back now
at least 50 years.
