Beatles Medley Parody for alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.*
(click here to download the MP3)

An 8 minute: 41 second marathon medley of Beatles tunes (about 10 MB). Since the original "Not So Humble Hamsters" are still fighting the Taliban, 
their cousins, Crisco (from Florida) and lively old Jim (from Colorado) 
have been assisting with the parodies.

Recorded over a 17-day period in November, 2001 at Front Room Studios 
just northwest of Austin. Another not-for-profit, fair-use parody. All credit to Lennon and McCartney (and a tiny bit to ELO). Encoded at 160 kps HQ with MMJB.

If you prefer to be surprised (as well as hopefully amused), you might 
want to read the lyrics afterwards (or along with the music)

Encode with LAME 
(Penny Lane)
----------
Encode with LAME, or Fraunhofer. That's the bottom line
Just use your head. Your popularity will grow.
And all the people who are in the know, they will tell you so.

There is a program, name of MusicMatch, an easy one
Use LAME or Fraunhofer, you will do your best. 
And as soon as you give them a test, you will pitch the rest, that's my 
guess.

Encode with LAME and use your ears and not your eyes.
There's a better way to do this guys.
Or maybe Proteron.

Poster Buffoon 
(Rocky Racoon)
----------
Well, somewhere in the deep bowels of Usenet in absm.* lived a young 
boy named Poster Buffoon.
Well, one day a reader popped off about his postin' style, and then 
mister Poster lost his smile,
Poster didn't like that. Said, "I'm gonna get that boy."
So one day he up and loaded up his Power-Post and acted like a total 
damn loon.
Poster Buffoon has been posting his tunes with brackets in all of his 
titles.
Poster had fun pissing off everyone. He enjoyed flooding out all his 
rivals.
Well, his rivals it seems, emailed his ISP and complained 'bout all of 
his nonsense.
But Road Runner's his host, so he continued to post, their abuse desk 
is all just a pretense.
Well, he don't give a damn, but he's lost all his fans.
They're all bored and what comes 'round must go 'round.
So when Poster begins all of his former friends
Say, "Poster, why don't you just slow down?"
And then Poster got hot, said he'll keep what he's got.
Logged off then and sulked in the corner.

All You Need Is Floods
(All You Need Is Love)
----------
All You Need Is Floods
All You Need Is Floods
All You Need Is Floods, Floods
Floods are all you need
(We'll flood you, yeah, yeah, yeah!)

FAQ-Man
(Taxman)
----------
Let him tell you how it should be.
He's watching out for you and me.
'Cause he's the FAQ-Man,
Yeah, he's the FAQ-Man.

Crappy Encodes Now
(Eleanor Rigby)
----------
All of these crappy MP3s now
All of these crappy MP3s now
Crappy encodes now,
Skipping and popping and chirping
These songs are no fun
What have you done?
Crappy encoding
Rips that are shitty. 
You never have listened I swear
Garbage you share.
All these bad encodes now
Where do they all come from?
All these bad encodes now
They really don't belong.

Back to the RIAA
(Back in the USSR)
[Dedicated to Dave Powell]
----------
.1980s.venice-beach is where I lurk.
But I come out almost every night.
If folks knew I was doin' this they'd kick my ass.
Boy there'd be a dreadful fight.

Back to the RIAA, boys.
I send reports every day, boys.
Back to the RI, Back to the RI, Back to the RIAA

I copy headers and mail them out.
I send them all I find.
If you're paranoid, there can be no doubt.
My sneaking round will drive you 
Mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad!

Music Archiver 
(Paperback Writer)
----------
Music Archiver. Music Archiver.
Well, I often grab in absm.books, and in .spoken-word I always take a 
look.
But I live in decades, and I live in main, and I burn it all,
'Cause I wanna be a Music Archiver.
Music Archiver. (echoes)
Music Archiver. Music Archiver.

Make MP3s
(Act Naturally)
----------
They're gonna put me in the newsgroups
They're gonna make a big star outta me
They'll make a scene about a man who's sharin' music,
And all I gotta do is post MP3s.

Well, I'll bet you I'm gonna be a big star,
Might win a challenge, you can't never tell.
The newsgroup's gonna make me a big star,
So RIAA, go to hell!

Well I hope you'll come and see me in the newsgroups,
Then I know that you will plainly see.
I don't care if I never hit the big time.
'Cause all I wanna do is make MP3s.
And all I gotta do is make parodies.
All credit to the original artist.  Non-commercial, fair-use parody.
