Double Life
Parody: Ugly Life
Artist: Styx
Album: Kilroy Was Here
Track number on album: 7
Duration: 3:45
Fodder rating (out of 5): 2
The song has a subject in a pretty tight corner, being about a 20th century spy. 20th century, you can be sure of, because there is a telephone, and the Berlin Wall is mentioned. My confidence in my mad parodying skills served me, but there are good reasons to be nervous about attempting it.
I got the song out of the aforementioned corner, but is there much similarity between the original and the parody? No, but it all more or less rhymes, and that had to be enough.
Ugly Life
was actually my third parody of the song. The first was Disgusting Life,
and the second did not change the title. Both left something to be desired.
