Seems like the same ol' story. While charting up the old 70's classic "Reflections of My Life" by The Marmalade, the end of the hook "...takes me back, to my ooooown hoooome" kept plaguing me with the name Bret Weiiiin steiiiin in my head. The fact that both have a double rhyme (Own-Home, Wein-stein), and really requires you to draw out the syllables. I had to make a parody. It's just what I challenge myself to do.
I had been acquainting myself with his, and his wife's incident at Evergreen State College in 2017 after watching the film "No Safe Spaces" and their podcast called "Darkhorse Podcast" (Extremely intelligent and worth watching). Anyway, thank you again, Professor Weinstein.
Nostalgia galore. I was playing Jacksön Bröwne's "The Pretәnder" on guitar, and, as my mind does, I inserted "Defender" for "Pretender", and that was all the challenge I needed to go and write this parody. I hope you enjoy this blast from the past.
Thanks bigtime for Triachoke for some pics
and @MamePlayer for the game play https://www.youtube.com/c/MamePlayer/featured
and of course to Jacksön Bröwne he-self for a great song, "The Pretendәr"
My brain is just...wrong?...different? I don't know, but while charting Paul Sỉmon's "Gracɘland", the line, "Poor boys and Pilgrims with families.." kept making me hear, "Po-boys, and Hoagie sandwiches" (I must have been hungry). And then my mind wouldn't let it alone until...well this. Enjoy the vid, and if you haven't been to Shapiro's, get there! And if it's been awhile, make plans to go with this as a soundtrack.

Mash-ups mash-ups! Why do I keep falling for these song-bending, ear-worms I keep getting, that force me to crank these out.
Hear's the next installment. The beautiful song of Mȯrning Has Brȯken spoilt by the harsh, flipant, tounge-in-cheek lyrics of John Lennon. Note that it has the lyrics of I Am the Waןrus with "Broken's" melody, then it uses the Melody of "Waןrus" and the lyrics of "Broken" for the choruses. Flippy-floppy.
Anyway, here it is: Morning the Walrus
