Aside from some already mentioned, the only movie parody I got from memory is “Hack, Hack, Sweet Has-been” ("Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte). But I also got the TV parodies, “Howdy Doo-it” and “Captain TVideo”. ---

you know its funny but these days being parodied by mad or weird al is considered that you’ve “made” it in in the entertainment industry Although ive always enjoyed the social commentary more than the parodies (espically the "things that happen/you can do today that wouldn’t fly 25 -50 years ago type of articles ) ---

Check out The Mad Comic Opera from 1960, just about the best thing ever in a magazine that should be villified for the raging homophobia that came to infest it in the 60’s and 70’s. ---

It says something about the impressionability of young minds, but I can still distinctly recall lyrics to song parodies from 1965. My contribution: “Hello, Lyndon, or My Fair LadyBird” (a political satire with song parodies from My Fair Lady). In the same vein (jugular)… “Stokely and Tess” (a political satire with song parodies from Porgy and Bess). ---

magnumb, p.u. My husband can recite all kinds of things from Mad’s parodies of the Bicentennial, and can sing many songs Mad wrote.
