Melodic and good thing to avoid! 5's

Oops...I meant that the stuff in the parody are good things to avoid, not this parody. I love it and gave you 5's.

Thanks, Adagio!

Felt I had to dock you a pacing point for not doing enough verses :-) ... but otherwise it's extremely chuckleworthy

Thanks, Phil. I thought there might be more verses but I couldn't find the actual song anywhere in our cds/mp3s. Last time I'm gonna rely soley on internet lyrics and (rapidly fading) memory!

reminds me of Gilbert and Sullivan "I've got a little list" only more LSD

"Viagra orgies with oldsters that swing" had me LOL.
We´ve sure came a long way since the days of Julie Andrews.

Rod, I noticed the inaccurate verse count, but I gave you three 5s anyway...because I thought it was brilliant! =) Very well done!!

Rod - you can get your own back tomorrow: I did "Brush up your Shakespeare" only to realize I'd left a verse out after submitting it ;-)

Thanks Rick, K 1 and Arwen! Phil, I read your kids' parody today and laughed! (Would have told them so, but comments were not enabled.)

Very funny stuff; loved the manic dancing

Rod - Really funny, gave you 4-5-5 because you stiffed us on the other verses. When it's this funny we get greedy and want all the verses.

funny as hell...i wish julie andrews could see this

If they're NOT your favorite things (as mentioned in the title), then why do you say they are in the parody?

Dear Joe : "Because it would'nae have rhymed then would it?". Rod : Great! "Guys in tight dresses with gerbil-packed asses" had me alughing.

Dear Peregirn: He could have said "These aren't a few of my favorite things". >rolleyes<

Thanks much to you all for reading and commenting! This was a fun one to do. To Peregrin: Special Thanks! To Joe: What do you have in mind, here, maybe a stake, some honey, some fire ants?!! Kidding aside, Joe, I guess from a technical point of view you would be right about the title. As Roger Miller said, "Well, dang me!" But I disagree with your "aren't" suggestion; this would change the entire flavor of everything by removing the irony factor. I mean, I think it would be funnier to hear (and see) Julie giddily singing to the children about guys in tight dresses with gerbil-packed asses as if she were all FOR them, not against them. But then, I'm ill, and I ..ARGHH!!...think it's time for..MEDICATION!!!..now... Thanks, Joe, and everyone! =)

Sorry; I didn't realize the irony. It was a misunderstanding on my part. >embarrassed<
