Family Guy/Follies Parody#1

It's really just in the first few moments...and pretty offensive...yet the fact it's a take on "Broadway Baby" makes me giggle.

Link...cause I totally know what I'm doing.

...of which episode?

"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."

No idea, I was watching Oz parody clips, and came upon this one.

I'm not so sure it's a "Follies" parody. Not enough similarities to really call it that. But it is funny.

Hence why I said the first few moments. The first verse and melody are totally "Broadway Baby."

This cracked me up when I first saw it - it's a few years old, from the episode when Quagmire moves in with the Griffins. They want him to move out,and Peter says something like," I can't toss him on the street like a prom night dumpster baby" that leads into the clip.

Some people come into our lives and quietly go, others stay a while, and leave footprints on our heart, and we are never the same.

Oh, I've seen this. Not really a Follies parody.

The only thing this and the original song have in common is the "I'm Just a __________ Baby" part. The melody, harmony, rhythm and rhyme scheme are all different ...

Compare the original number: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzYGSaPiJlQ
Now the so called parody: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRj-S8Aklcw

Completely different

I definitely get what husk means with the first few lines. I take it as a nod to "Broadway Baby."

"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"

Family Guy does this all the time - makes allusions to songs, but changing it up so there's no copyright infringement. Yes, it's not the same music, but it's totally an allusion to Broadway Baby.
