Woohoo! Finally the Patty Duke theme! I've been waiting years for that!
Posted by: Aaron at April 1, 2008 11:19 PMHey! My band's on that Annie Nightingale Y4K compilation. Our track features samples of a couple of well known tunes but isn't a cover so we wouldn't be eligible for your show.

Posted by: Bob Weber at April 2, 2008 12:55 PMOh, man. This "Grey Clouds" track is hilarious!
Posted by: Bryan at April 2, 2008 2:58 PMoh man this is a GREAT idea!
Amongst others for the next Parodyville show, you might want to consider James Blunt's "You're triangle" from Sesame Street to the tune of his uber-annoying "You're Beautiful". There must be an audio version out there. Here's the video. grrr, this guy is really annoying, mostly for his ability to cop off with a succession of supermodels whilst appearing to most men to be a complete idiot with a girly voice!

Posted by: Jesse at April 5, 2008 10:01 PMI enjoyed this episode much more than I thought I would. That Grey Clouds track was awesome.
