I do original songs in the style of other artists, where I try to learn all their musical idiosyncrasies and try to do something that sounds like them and yet is a bit more sick and twisted.
Take down those naked pictures of Ernest Borgnine.
I dated Siamese twins, I slept with Big Foot, too. Get me on Sally Jesse, put me on Donahue.
I know I'm a million times as humble as thou art!
Not any specific one, but I was a huge fan of Frank Jacobs, I guess he wrote the plurality of the song parodies for MAD, Sam Hart, a few others, but that was also where I was first exposed to the art form of song parodies.
I have a long-standing history of respecting artists' wishes.
As much as people are griping about the Internet taking sales away from artists, it's been a huge promotional tool for me.
It's hard to say, I picked one of my favorite articles for the MAD vault. Which is one of the features of the Magazine so they don't have to actually pay artists or writers to come up with new stuff.
A lot of artists have really been supportive over the years.
You slammed my face down on the barbecue grill, now my scars are all healing, but my heart never will.
It's hard to really articulate what the parameters are that make one song parody-able and another song not, but if I can come up with a good enough idea for it, I go for it, and if not, then I have to move on.
In a genre where most of the artists are one-hit wonders, I've been able to hang around longer than most "serious" acts. I pride myself in being a very talented leech.
What kind of morons do you have working at newspapers in Austin that would base an entire review of an artist's performance on whether or not they had a good seat?
My process for the parodies is that I get an idea for a song and then get approval from the artist and then go in and record it and probably try to get it out as soon as possible.
Midget wrestling on channel 3, it costs me 50 bucks a month.
A lot of my cartoon voices are basically just variations on my natural voice.
I decided that I wanted to be a voice on every animated cartoon in the history of the world - even shows that haven't been on the air for a very long time, that's going to be harder to pull off.
