This post is a test of my video setup with me singing karaoke-style to a risqu\u00e9 parody I wrote when John and Loreena Bobbit were in the news. I’d classify it as PG-13, so proceed at your own risk. The original is “Bibbitty, Bobbity, Boo,” and I’m absolutely convinced the “fair use” provisions of copyright law apply, though I certainly don’t want to fight Walt Disney in court over it. I’m playing the music on a cassette tape (how quaint!).<\/p>\n
Now parodies only work if you are familiar with the original. I assume everybody on the planet is familiar with the Walt Disney cartoon canon and knows the Fairy Godmother’s magic invocation from the movie Cinderella,<\/em> when she’s flitting about wielding her magic wand and turning a pumpkin into a carriage and mice into horses. Here’s a snip of the song:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
