You just reminded me of one of my favorite parodies. I wrote it in 2006. I think it is one of my best efforts.

FAIRWAY TO HEAVEN
Words and Music to Stairway to Heaven by Robert Plant and Jimmy Page
Parody and Copyright by LonePalm, AKA Ed Zeppelin

There's a lady who's sure all that’s green is fresh grass.
And she's playing a fairway to heaven.
When she gets to the course, if the tee times are closed
With a word she can get her a foursome.
Ooh, ooh, and she's playing a fairway to heaven.

There's a twist in the putt but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes greens have two leanings.
In a hole at the pin, there's no lip that dips in,
Oft times some of our putts are forgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.

There's a feeling I get when I stare from the trap,
And my stomach is crying for heaving.
In my dreams I have seen long straight drives off the tees,
And the voices of those who standing gawking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

And it's whispered, not sass, if we all take his class
Then the house Pro will lead us to reason.
And a low score will dawn for those who drive long
And the clubhouse will echo with laughter.

If you’ve hook shot in the hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a chip shot to the apron.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to charge your golf cart.
And it makes me wonder.

Your phone is ringing and it won't go, in case you don't know,
The foursome’s calling you to join them,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your fairway lies on the whispering wind.

And as we walk on down the course,
Our score is taller than our soul.
There strides a lady we all know
Who swings quite light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you practice very hard
Scratch par will come to you at last.
*Anise

When fun is all and all is fun
To hit a rock or hole in one.

And she's playing a fairway to heaven.
