| Parody Song Title: | "The Naked Rambler" |
| Parody Written by: | John Jenkins |
On Thursday, January 22nd, Stephen Gough completed his 847-mile walk from the southern coast of England to the northern coast of Scotland with just hat, socks, boots, and backpack. During his 7-month journey, designed to promote public nudity, he was arrested 16 times and spent 5 months in jail. But he captured the imagination of some in the media who gave him the nickname, "the naked rambler."
They call me the naked rambler,
I've rambled au naturel.
When I ramble unclothed with my assets bared,
They throw my assets into jail.
With just shoes, I'm the naked rambler
And to jail I was sent unfairly.
After five months in the hoosegow, they freed my caboose, now
I will conquer Great Britain barely.
You can ramble in heat waves,
You can ramble in cold.
You can ramble in springtime or fall,
But if you haven't rambled in your birthday suit,
Then you haven't rambled at all.
Why am I the naked rambler?
I desire to determine if,
On a ramble through Scotland in mid-January,
My North Pole will be frozen stiff.
They call me the naked rambler.
They call me the naked rambler.
I've rambled au naturel.
When I ramble unclothed with my assets bared,
They throw my assets into jail.
With just shoes, I'm the naked rambler
And to jail I was sent unfairly.
After five months in the hoosegow, they freed my caboose, now
I will conquer Great Britain barely.
You can ramble in heat waves,
You can ramble in cold.
You can ramble in springtime or fall,
But if you haven't rambled in your birthday suit,
Then you haven't rambled at all.
Why am I the naked rambler?
I desire to determine if,
On a ramble through Scotland in mid-January,
My North Pole will be frozen stiff.
They call me the naked rambler.
They call me the naked rambler.

John - interesting parody but alas DKTOS. Anybody?
Guy - thank you for your comment, which probably explains why the parody doesn't have any votes yet. I thought the song might be somewhat obscure (it was the #25 hit in 1956 - a year that Elvis Presley had 4 of the top 10), but hoped it would get a few votes.
DKTOS here too, but it's a cute parody.
Don't think you need to know the original song for this one: it flows pretty freely.. and some very funny lines, too :-)
Thank you, Adagio and Phil.
