My own personal tastes don't really have an effect on whether song is a parody target or not. But having said that, I try to pick songs that I actually like because I realize that I have to live with these songs for a long time, from when I'm working on them in the studio to possibly playing them onstage for the rest of my life. So I try not to pick songs that I know would drive me crazy.

Velvet Elvis never puts on weight.

As my father used to tell me, the only true sign of success in life is being able to do for a living that which makes you happy.

My process for the parodies is that I get an idea for a song and then get approval from the artist and then go in and record it and probably try to get it out as soon as possible.

Kind of wish I was dead. Maybe, I'll blow my brains out, mama, or maybe I'll go bowling.

As a wise man once said, “April Fools Day is for amateurs. You NEVER need an excuse to mess with people's heads.”

By the time I'm in the studio recording my parody, 10,000 parodies of that song are on YouTube.
