Sorry I disappeared again. Ideas don't seem to be coming very naturally to me these days. Anyway, here's one I wrote a few years ago back when I was an avid "CATS" fan.
First you buy the cast the cast album,
and from that you’ll sing and hum.
Please then buy a film box set and
pirouette, pirouette, pirouette.
Then you should learn Jenny’s tap dance,
graduate to Bomba’s lap dance.
Everybody sing their own har-mon-nee-us underscore.
Being a jellicle fan!
Get dressed up down Covent Garden an’
Since getting tickets was quite hard an’
They’re hoping hard that you’ll pardon ‘am.
Have no fear. Touring Baden Baden an’,
if you’re there, you’d best avoid it.
An obscure tour, no one enjoyed it.
3,4,1,2,
in New London’s the man group blue.
So go buy the Deutsche album.
And from that you'll only hum.
Watch again your film box set and
pirouette, pirouette, pirouette.
Screw all the condemn'ry.
Don't cha love the mem'ry?
Brainwash your kids
from the cord umbellical
being a jellicle fan.
and from that you’ll sing and hum.

Very clever and a nice ode to one of the best musicals. I did "The Last Meow" on Am I Right years ago under another name. Will you do "Phantom" and "Evita" next?
I could try Elaine Paige and Patti LuPone getting ready to kill Madonna. I'll see what I can do.
