I bet that Bohemian Wurzley goes down a storm. Very clever - and funny.



I've yet to see him live, but I'm looking forward to it (I wonder if he's looking forward to my act  :-[ )
I did a Stein pub once and did a parody of I've got a Combine Harvester best not divulge what it was about  ::)

oh you've got to do one - Fest or not, go on, go on, go on!

Speedy - I can send you the Wurzel CD if you want.

Quote from: Oldrottenhead on May 31, 2016, 02:16:26 AMI was thinking a "crackerjack" festival. Something our stateside and European friends may not understand. Is not unlike the parody fest. Anyway every week on the aforementioned kids tv show they would cover a top twenty hit and change the lyrics into something comedic.
So suggestion is we do that. Rule is it has to a parody of a current top twenty hit single.

From a listener's point of view, I think parodies are more fun when you're already familiar with the original. Since few of us here are familiar with current Top 20 songs, I'd rather have a Parody Fest that's not restricted so that people can do parodies of songs we all know.

I love some of the parodies by Bob Rivers.

No, we've never had a Parody Fest. We had ComedyFest in 2010 which included a few parodies along with many comedy and novelty songs, but we've never had a festival that was just parodies.

Let's have Google translator festival!

The idea: write a lyric (or use an old lyric/song) on your native language and put it to Google translator and choose a language! The translator helps with pronouncing, too.

Did you know that if you translate the 1st line of Burn's "Address to Haggis" (Great chieftain o the puddin'-race!) into German & back into English you get...

"Mighty Fuhrer of the Sausage People"

There's got to be a song in that somewhere!

 ;D I know the translator is a bit clumsy and very often it propose wrong word, because words are polysemic. It just gives comedy effect, imo...

Here's an example how easy Finnish is  :D
