At the beginning of side two of Atomic Rooster's album Made In England is "Intro", which is a brief parody of a bible thumping minister of the evangelical variety bemoaning the world

Chris Farlowe-"In this day and age,wo, there's lots of strife in the world, and i've got a little message that i want everybody to hear-please don't fight and fuss and work" he continues, and then the plug is pulled soon after, sounding like the song slowing down to nothing

So much for the fire and brimstone minister!

A Disney Radio version of Cannibal Corpse's Hammer Smashed Face.

The artist is Andy Rehfeldt whom I don't know much at all about at this moment.

Hilarious!

Weird Al is obviously great. I love Smells Like Nirvana.

I'm surprised no one has said this: Jethro Tull's Thick As A Brick

Speaking of Mr. Yankovic, here's his latest - for which his target has refused permission:

Edit: apparently, the management of the parodied artist has caved, and the song will be on Al's next album as planned. Behold, the power of the Intertubez.

Not that I don't like Yankovich parodies:

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

That's an amazing album and it's a satire of the 1960s!

Flower Punk is done in the style of "Hey Joe", or so I have read from either The Real Frank Zappa Book

or The Negative Dialectics of Poodle Play.

A poke at psychedelia
