If you've seen it, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Dennis Hopper and David Lynch weren't exactly nice to Roy Orbison in "Blue Velvet," either. I should probably stop watching movies like these, no?Mr. Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13920907647566015611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8916319.post-38343637674770742682009-02-09T15:58:00.000-06:002009-02-09T15:58:00.000-06:00That's too funny!!

However, you mentioned that you heard the Weird Al parodies of those two songs several years earlier.Brad Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443466836095058736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8916319.post-52265599222915274642009-02-09T15:51:00.000-06:002009-02-09T15:51:00.000-06:00For me, this is true of pretty much any song ever ...For me, this is true of pretty much any song ever parodied by Weird Al. But then, for years, I didn't know "<A HREF="http://eightysixfourhundred.vox.com/library/audio/6a00c2251d92a98fdb00d4142d24826a47.html" REL="nofollow">Rock Me Jerry Lewis</A>" was a parody.
