"Kill the Wabbit" a parody?
Audrey Rosen
Is "Kill the Wabbit" by Ozzy Fudd a parody of any specific song? I had
thought it was a Black Sabbath parody, but my boyfriend (an amateur
musician and former heavy-metal fan) says no.
thanx, and DFTSD...

No, she means the great song done by comedian Mark McCallum (sp?), where he
plays "the punk son of Elmer Fudd" and has some really heavy echo and a few
cheesy guitar chords accompanying his lyrics.
Can't answer the acutal question, though. A while back I started a thread
on this song here when I was asking about a line I couldn't decipher. I
just stopped into this group today after being gone for a few months and
what do I see but another thread on the same song...
"In the dead of night (night, night, night...)
A shimmerwing wight...
Scweam of a bwade....
And the devil gets paid....
When the axe faws down (faws down, faws down...)
A chiwwing sound....
Steel hits the head,
Another wabbit's DEAD!"

Ozzy Fudd is a creation of comedian Mark V. McCollum (winner of 100,000 dollars )
on Star Search...but I dont think it is a parody of anything...I think
it is just from the mind of Mark...(he was here in Minot last monday and
was selling ozzy fudd teeshirts and hats...(i got a hat))...

I suspect it's not a direct parody, but a "stylistic parody", much as a
whole bunch of Weird Al songs are <e.g., "Dog Eat Dog" mimics the
Talking Heads, "One More Minute" mimics 50's love songs, etc...>

Nope. It's a generic heavy metal parody, like "Earache My Eye". And the
artist is Mark McCollum, who doesn't get nearly enough exposure.

I actually think it is a parody of "Dragon Slayer" by Ozzy Osbourne.
I can't verify this at all, though. My sister likes heavy metal and
told me about the parody in the first place. I, however, don't listen
to metal at all, so I wouldn't know stuff like what album Ozzy did it on,
etc.
