As much as people are griping about the Internet taking sales away from artists, it's been a huge promotional tool for me.

The irony is of course that my career has lasted a whole lot longer than some of the people I've parodied over the years.

Got a brand new semi-automatic weapon with a laser sight. Oh, I'm praying that somebody tries to break in here tonight.

So that's why one of my rules of parody writing is that it's gotta be funny regardless of whether you know the source material. It has to work on its own merit.

Until you came along I never dated anyone this low on the food chain.

I start with a comprehensive list of all the recent songs that have been big hits - and then I go down that list and see if I can come up with funny ideas for them. I can always come up with ideas, but not necessarily good ones!

Didn't have Nintendo, we just poured salt on snails.
