Twist or Dunk (parody: Twist and Shout)
by Marc Gunn, 1993 It was so long ago, I can only imagine I had bought a box of Oreos and was dunking them in milk while watching Ferris Bueller. But who knows where this parody idea came from. It’s an Oreo cookie, now (Oreo cookie)Should I twist or dunk? (twist or dunk)C’mon, c’mon where’s […]
I’m the Phone Caller (Lyrics, parody: The Wanderer)
by Marc Gunn, 1993 I was digging through a bunch of old lyrics and poetry I wrote from many moons ago, and I found this parody of “The Wanderer” by Dion. It was written in ’93, and it’s still relevant today. Times don’t change that much, huh? I’m the type of guy Who’s transferred all […]

I’ve played that convention with Brobdingnagian Bards for, what, seven years now, but I never really realized that people knew ME individually. It was a bit of an eye-opening experience to […]
Free MP3 – Buttercup’s Lament (Princess Bride)
Who doesn’t love The Princess Bride? I sure do. I wrote this song in December 2000. It began with the idea of a woman who’s True Love was lost at sea. But as the story developed, it reminded me of Buttercup’s “True Love”–Wesley–in the cult classic. So I named it after her. It’s a sad, […]

Free MP3 – A Lil’ Bit of Love
A couple years ago, I was performing at the Louisiana Renaissance Festival when The Mews… I mean Muse struck. No mews was correct. The frequent meowing came from a black cat named Lil’ Bit. That talkative cat inspired this bluesy song that turned into a boogie woogie with the masterful guitar of my producer Rich […]
