And now, by popular demand
(the most popular one being that I stop coming up with these things),
I proudly present
Assault and Parody:
The DataMan Parody Page!
Presented to you in visually stunning black text
on a plain background
(given the graphics-intensive nature of the Web
these days,
black text on a plain background is visually
stunning),
this page comprises the entire catalogue of my
parodies of Kansas-related
and non-Kansas-related songs. There are
now nine categories;
more may be added as time goes by. Enjoy!

Well, after the events of this most recent Election Day, the airwaves
resound
with the sounds of charges, counter-charges, accusations, counter-accusations,
anger, rage, and weeping and gnashing of teeth... and that's just the
networks
hurling "Dewey Defeats Truman!" recriminations at themselves.
In the ongoing frustration of not yet knowing who we've elected as our
next president
(watch out; a re-vote might give Florida to Ralph Nader),
I realized that I could either cry, seethe, grumble, grouse...
or do the only thing that will preserve my sanity...

Read what others are saying about my parodies:
Kerry Livgren: "Thanks for the website. Truly
clever stuff. You ought to try some for Rush
Limbaugh - the guys that do those parodies
for him make a fortune. I have a
humor page on my website - maybe I could link
to your parodies?"
Rich Williams: "You can quote me as saying
you can parody us anytime."
No foolin'! This is what they actually said!
(Granted, this does not necessarily imply full agreement on their parts
with the content of, say, my political parodies, but I still think
it's neat
that they took the time to respond (can I still say "neat" these days?).)
Write to me at dataman@adelphia.net
with your thoughts, comments
or ideas for new parodies; I'm always open to
new suggestions. :-)
