In Your Letter
Parody: In Her Letter
Artist: REO Speedwagon
Album: Hi Infidelity
Track number on album: 4
Duration: 3:17
Fodder rating (out of 5): 5
A great choice for parodying newbies and just all-around workable. It is easy to memorize, does not use a single word with more than two syllables, and all it requires is two people with a written language and a bad relationship. It could take place in all kinds of settings throughout the millennia. About the only concern is if you can tell a story in just a dozen lines worth of lyrics. But if you can, it can all too easily be at least 4-fodder (or, in my case, higher).
There is so much for the Crew to love about this song. The song is both about a bad relationship and infinitely flexible, a perfect combination for them.
