I really hope it isn't just me and Weird Al Yankovic who modify lyrics of popular songs.

As background, Phoenix and I have a routine of going for a walk every morning...it is one of the few times he gets impatient with me and whimpers.  So, to the tune of "Daydream Believer", written by John Stewart and first recorded by The Monkees:

Hush now, whiney poo
Oh what can I do
With an impatient poodle
Who wants to walk* in the snoo**

* walk/run/play/romp - take your pick
** stylized rendition of the word snow...to call it artistic license would imply some level of artistry

Are there others here who modify lyrics to their lives?

All day long. Having kids has made me into quite the prolific, if still horrible, singer/songwriter. Good example.....(To the tune of "Danny's song)......Even though (insert name here) smells kinda funny, we're still gonna buy him a bunny! And when it's older, he's gonna fry right up!
Having young boys means several songs now have to do with poop. Just how it goes I guess.

I have been a connoisseur of parody sense a young age. I find myself teasing my wife through parodying the songs she enjoys or changing a select few words of a poem we have shared.

Humor is healing.
