hey, some great music has been made by minimal manipulation and editting,
they should just do some more, but explore making all the changes really
predictable and minimal as possible. That would intensify the parody side
of it, imho. Some parodies are really simple lifts but amazingly sharper
parodies for it: The Rutles, National Lampoon, Spinal Tap... I guess both
of the last two are Christopher Guest, aren't they? I pray that
Christopher Guest does a parody of techno someday. He has been so fucking
_on_ with other genres...
On National Lampoon's "Kung-Fu Christmas", I doubt even hardcore Curtis
Mayfield/Tamla-label fanatics could tell it is a parody until after a few
measures of the lyrics add up... aww, yeah!
