"PARASITE-ody": Substitution of an invading poem, or a second song's words, for the lyrics of an otherwise unrelated song.
ORIGINAL POEM (invader): "La Belle Dame Sans Merci" John Keats, 1819.
ORIGINAL SONG (recipient/host): "Seven Bridges Road", written by Steve Young in 1969, covered by many groups, most famously The Eagles in 1980. For those who need their memories refreshed, a portion of the original song is found on minified slides at the bottom of this post.
UKULELE VERSION: Chordcharts for adaptation to ukulele were provided by Steve McNie at Toronto Ukes; (the key has been been transposed from D to F by G.C.)
PARODY COMPOSED: Giorgio Coniglio, August 2017. Note that the verses were reduced from 12 to 9, but the poem was otherwise essentially unchanged from the original.
