This was one of my favorite threads evah, and I remember it being a few years ago. The idea is, change one letter in a song title to reveal a whole new concept. You could also drop or add one letter, but use only one of the options.
I was pretty proud of my past submission:
PABA, O’Riley - The Who’s caution to a fair-skinned Irishman
And a couple new ones:
In Your Ewes - Peter Gabriel’s attempt to answer the age-old question, “Where do lambs come from?”
The Ghost of Tom Toad - Bruce Springsteen’s sequel to the immortal “Tom the Toad”
Bad Dad - Daniel Powter’s heart-wrenching tale of child emotional abuse, written in the style of Dr. Seuss
Hey Yak - The song by Outkast that reveals his proclivites for shaggy ungulates.

I don’t mean to spam the thread, seeing as I have nothing of my own to contribute (I fail at funny), but this actually made me laugh out loud. That was really good.
