Song Parodies -> Concord Prison Blues
| Original Song Title: | "Folsom Prison Blues" |
| Original Performer: | Johnny Cash |
| Parody Song Title: | "Concord Prison Blues" |
| Parody Written by: | Invisible Boy |
OK...this is sort of a regional parody. One of the most infamous prisons in Massachusetts in located in Concord (pronounced CON-kid,,,not CON-cord)
Anyway, there's been a NEWS story out here about how the prison just replaced the old TVs with new HiDef plasma screen TVs. As you can imagine, there are some who are not too happy about it.
I'm sure this parody could apply to any two syllable named prison anywhere.

"Concord Prison Blues"
I hear the channels changin'
It's time to take my place
Just sitin’ with my buddies…watchin’ Will and Grace
I'm stuck in Concord Prison…covered in brand-new “ink”
But, we’re all being tortured… the TV’s on the “blink”
The picture’s kinda fuzzy
The sound just ain’t so great
It’s times like this I wonder…if I should have gone straight
I shived my latest cellmate…then I cut his throat
I guess he had it coming…for hogging the “remote”
Before you say I’m whining
Or that I should go to hell
I’m just looking for some input… to decorate my cell
It’s too hard to see the “pallet”…when Forrest Green looks Teal
Though I did take one suggestion…My crapper’s stainless steel
So, as I sit here in this prison,
Getting three square meals a day
And my health care is provided…and for heat I do not pay
We need help in Concord Prison…I’m sure you understand
So, please send a Sony plasma…and Movies On Demand…

Hey there Lord IB, Folsom Prison will soon be 'Broke', as of MidNight! No HBO for these guys!
555 - In my younger days and working in a mental institution, we had a patient who beat another patient badly, so he could go to the forensic portion of the hospital. The reason - the forensic portion had just put in cable and the regular hospital did not have it. I understand your song and history kind of repeats as this was 30 years ago.
