yes, i mangled line 5....but you get the idea....not easy typing with a pencil strapped to your forehead

Alvin - I don't see any big problem with line 5...I believe the original is: "There was Howard C. Green, just turned thirty-three". And I LOVE this song. In fact I just listened to "Lather" (and the whole "Crown of Creation" album) over at a friend's house last night. I remarked after the song ended that the first time I heard it I was 19. In my opinion it's by far the best Jefferson Airplane/Starship album they ever put out. Although I always got a kick out of their antics sometimes it caused them to be a little too loose with their craft. Not the case with "Crown"...if you listen to each track (except the experimental "Chushingura", which seems kind of a waste of a good minute or so; I think putting drummer Spencer Dryden's piece on the album was the "bone" he got for being the one that was "boning" Grace Slick at the time this album came out) you would be hard pressed to find a sloppy note. No overbaked, excessive jams, just good, solid licks. So you get 5 mind-blowing hits of "PFO" here (that's for "Pacing/Funny/Overall"). OH...don't know if you have seen it, but I did a "Lather" parody just before the end of last year called "Blather". I think it was the first "Lather" parody on the site and it didn't get too many votes. I think the original is mostly "DKTOS" to the reader's here.

thanks for the vote, paul.....i figured not too many people would check this one out, but i did it as a labor of love...i will definitely check out your version...."lather" is one of my faves...i prefer "bathing at baxter's " to 'crown' but they are both great albums....i'm glad i reached at least one person with this one...thanks, again...

DKTOS but I think it was rather well done. Can't vote fair without knowing the original to this, but I think I'll make an exception this time. That lone vote out there looks lonely to what I am sure was a lot of work on this song.

thanks, guy

Yes, Lather's a great song, but my favorite JA album is After Bathing at Baxters. Which song should I use from that one?

Good parody, good rhyming

Alvin - Saw in the "Latest Comments" section this finally got a little more notice. Maybe it will get some folks to listen to "Crown" and "Baxter's", too. I think THAT would be kind of cool, also.

thanks for the votes, guys...baxter's IS indeed a great album...might be hard to make the lyrics any weirder than the y already are, though

Alvin - Same thing pretty much applies to "Crown", too...

yes, the airplane could be very cryptic
