The Reformation Polka

I WISH I had written this.

Martin Luther, meet Mary Poppins.



With thanks to Chris for showing this to me after mistakenly wondering if it had been one of my parodies.

A Girl's Best Friend, Anglican Style

It's been a while since I've posted one of my own song parodies, but I have a special treat for you.

Apparently the apple doesn't fall far from the ministerial tree -

I've just been notified that one of my former ministers and great mentors, the priest from an Episcopal Church I attended regularly over 10 years ago, is a parody lyricist.

This is rather how I imagine it would be to discover a hidden part of my family tree, thus clearing up some unexplained genetics. Really. This explains a lot.

But it gets better. She's not only written lyrics but has also taken it to the next level... and recorded a video.

So without further ado: "The Prayerbook Is A Girl's Best Friend." (Didn't you know that?)



Written and performed by Rev. Suzanne Guthrie (lyrics found here), based upon "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend" from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

She puts me to shame. I think I need to step up my song parodies.

Thanks for the inspiration, Rev!
